Last Wednesday was the tenth anniver
sary of the wedding of Mr. F. H. Sawtell and
his estimable wife, and iu the evening they
were visited by a ho3t of friends, who came
unexpected and unannounced but well laden
with presents suitable for the occasion.
Among the many presents received by Mrs.
Sawtell was a. sparkling set of diamonds
and a fine set of jewelry. Mr. Sawtell
besides a lot of minor articles, received a
massave watch and chain, and a large tin
horn; the latter will probably be stowed
in the achives unused, as Fred s well known
modesty will not allow him to "blow his own
horn." The evening was spent with pleasant
parlor games and social converse, and all
present enjoyed the event very much.
Suicide at the Asylum.
Of the sudden death ot that unfortunate
one with whom many readers of the Gazette
were well acquainted the Daily Standard
of the 6th says:
S. H. Thompson, who lias been an inmate
of the insane asylu n at East Portland for
several years suiciJed last Saturday. He
had been persistant, during his confinement
in the asylum, in a determination to take
his own life, and had made repeated attempts
in this direction. So frequent, indeed, had
been these attempts, that the attendants had
received strict orders to watch him carefully
an I it had been customary to give him his
meals in a room by himself, in which there
was nothing with which he could do him
self injury. As a further precaution the
window of his room was covered with a
wire screen, which was fastened at the mid -die,
about four feet from the floor, with a
small padlock. While in this room Safcur-
lay afternoon Mr. Thompson took his pock
et handkerchief and tying in around his
neck, hung it on the pallook and then, by
bending his knee3, with his feet resting on
the floor, strangled himself to tieath. The
body was sent to Cosvallis last Monday
to his wife who iive3 there, and wa3 interred
in the Masonic ce netery
The Oro-iia's Home.
Mr3. Jos. Holman, Secretary of the Or
phan's Home at Salem, ha3 submitted her
report for the year ending Dec, 31, from
which we extract the following:
For the pa t sixteen yers a home for
orphans and friendless children for the State
of Oregon has been sustained at Salem, at
first by the charity of many kind hearted
friends. Later, and at present, by acts of
the Legislature, we have received an appro
priation for this work, for which we wish to
express our gratitude, that the hearts of our
Legislature have been moved in favor of so
worthy an object.
Though called a private institution, it is
doing State work in receiving orphaned
children from all parts of Oregon, and even
those from Washington Territory have not
been r fused.
The home is situated on high ground
nearly opposite the In3ane asylum, in the
eastern part of Salem. It is managed by a
board of ladies, who employ a man and
his wifejto act as superintendent and matrom
who with the children constitute one fam.
ily. They occupy the same house and ta
ble, and enjoy all things in common. A
committee of ladies visit thera often and
report at the monthly meetings of the board
on the welfare of the children and condition
of the home.
At present there are eleven children un
der the care of Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Melson,
The wb.ole number of children entered dur
ing the year is eighteon.
The good health of the children is largely
owing Jto the excellent situation of the
Home and wholesome diet. No physician
has been called in during the year.
The public is invited to visit the Home
at any time during the week.
Letters of application or inquiry will be
cheerfully attended to if addressed to the
corresponding secretary, Mrs. Dr. Chase,
Salem.

day evening.
Present His Honor F. A. Chenoweth,

gall, Marshal, and all the aldermen except
Messrs Rowland and Vincent.
The committee on streets submitted a re
port relative to the drain from the city laun
dry to the river, recommending that said
drain bs changed to an underground ditch,
and that its course be so changed as to cause
it to empty into the river between Pitman's
mill and the fruit dryer; also, that the drain
from the stables in the vicinity of said laun
dry be conveyed into the Slid ditch.
The same committee also reported upou
the complaint of John Moor concerning the
drain which passes through his lots, finding
that said drain is a natural water wy, and
expressing doubt as to whether it is obliga
tory upon the council to grant the relief de
manded. And if the council has power to
remedy tho evil, the financial condition of the
city would not now admit of it, as the ex
pense would be at least 1000.

Judse Lynch Again.
A special to the Oregonian from Cheney,
W. T., Jan. 7, says: Saturday morning
about 10 o'clock a Chinaee prostitute named
Chung Sow was found lying on her bed
literally chopped to pieces. She was still
alive, but soon breathed het last. The
weapon with which the murder was com
mitted, an ordinary axe, was found in the
room. It was upposed that Lee Chow,
who until a few days since was a pantry
man at one of the hotels here, was the mur
derer, and as he had left on the west bound
train Saturday morning, a telegram was
sent to Conductor Flinn, who areested him
at Bitzville. The woman's jewelry was
found on his person, and bloody garments
and other incidents point to his guilt. He
was brought to Cheney on the afternoon
train and lodged in jail.
At 10 o'clock Saturday night a mob of
eiarhty citizens went to the jail, broke the
lock, and in ten minutes Lee Chow was
swinging from the limb of p. neighboring
bull pine. A guard who had been placed
in the jail, made no resistance, and there
was but little noise or excitement. The
murderer and the victim now lie side- by
side, and an inquest will be held to-morrow
over both.
A Key to the Metric System.
It may not be generally known that we
have in the nickel five-cent piece of our
coinage, a key to the tables tf linear meas
ures and of weights. The diameter of this
coin is two centimeters, and its weight is
five grammes. Five of them placed in a
row will, of course, give the length of the
decimeter; and two of them will weigh a
decagramme. As the kiloliter is a cnbic
meter, the key to the measure of length is
also the key to the measures of capacity.
Any person, therefore, who is fortunate
enough to own a five-cent nickel, may carry
in his pocket the entire metric system of
weights and measures.
Coast Ellis Nursery.
We have received from Mr. Ed. C;
Phelps, manager of the above nursery, Id
eated near Newport, a circular stating that
in order to carry out matured plans and be
able to meet the demands of trade, he wiU
discontinue the handling of seeds, and here
after devote his undivided attention to the
nursery and flower business.
A LEGISLATIVE JOKE.
Hon. B. J. Sharp'3 Great Speech In
Behalf of Pure Grub.
On October 17th, near the end of the ses
ion, the bill introduced in the House by
Hon. D. M. Dunbar, of Washington county,
for an act to prohibit the adulteration of
food and drink, came up for final action.
The measure provided for the appointment
of an Inspector, whose duty it should be to
examine all articles of food and drink offered
for sale in the State, and ascertain if the
same contained any ingredients unwhole
some or detrimental to health and if neces
sary to analyze the same. Hon. L. B. Ison,
of Baker was in the chair. Mr. Dunbar
opened the debate in behalf to his bill with
a well digested argument. Then followed
two or three speakers of the opposition, who
proceeded to demolish every point made by
Mr. Dunbar, and one, Mr. Ford, of Marion,
dwelt with particular emphasis upon the
impracticability of the measure, and it was
evident at the conclusion of his remarks
that the bill was doomed to join the' great
majority in the waste basket . It was then
that Hon. R. J. Sharp, of Clackamas, whose
hert is full of symphathy for those in dis
tress, came to the rescue of Mr. Dunbar,
and made an eloquent speech in favor of the
bill. He showed the evils of adulterated
yeast powders, canned salmon and oysters
known among merchants as "swell heads,"
tainted fruit, vegetables and meats offered
in themarkets, the necessity of pure tea and
coffee, as well as other drinks. He saw
that his remarks were effective, and straigh
tening himself for a final illustration that
would go home to the minds and stomach of
every hearer, lie said: "There is another
article that enters largely into our domestic
economy that must not be overlooked. I
presume that every gentleman upon this
floor is as familiar with it as my colleague,
Mr. Moses, and myself. No man who is
the head of a family or dwells in gilded
boarding houses can escape it. The rich and
poor alike partake of it, and its use is so
common that I feel justified in designating
it a3 our National dish. Its purity and whole
sorneness has been questioned by evil dispos
ed persons, and even if no other interest is
subserved, I want the bill to pass that an
Inspector may examine and analyze this ar
ticle, and settle a question that "has long
vexed the public mind. The commodity I
allude to is Hash! Now Mr. Speaker,
what is hash ma le of?" The Speaker smil
ingly replied, "I give it up." This was so
unexpected, and so pat, that'the House was
convulsed with laughter, and Mr. Sharp
took his seat without concluding his re
marks, which contemplated an answer to his
own question, in " the language of Mark
Twain, that hash is the "substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things unseen."
The roll was called, and the bill went by
the board.
Causes of Diphtheria.
Dr. Henry Mills 3ays: Among the many
theories as to the cause of diphtheria, I no
tice a statement of Dr. Qaesner in a recent
number of the Boston Chemical News, that
he has almost come to the conclusion that
the disease is to be traced to a fungu3 found
in spots on fruits, especially apples. The
fact that the disease was very prevalent last
summer and fall in many of the apple grow
ing districts of our own and other states,
would seem to give weight to this decision.
He says, during the summer and fall chil
dren are in the daily habit of picking fruit
from the ground and eating immediately
without rubbing or cleansing, thus taking
into the system whatever may have grown
or become attached to the surface of the
fruit.
The fungoid origin of whooping cough
was asserted some years since, by M. Svet
zerick, and seems how to be confirmed by
M. Yschamer, who says he has found cer
tain lower organisms in the spittle of whoop
ing cough patients organisms not met with
in any other disease accompanied with cough
and expecration. He claim further, that
the organisms are identical with those which
by their agglomeration, form the black
points or spots on the skin of many fruits,
especially apples. M. Yschamer, by ino
culating rabbits with this fungus, produced
similar results to whooping cough.
The writer of this article as a misroscop
lst has examined fruits this winter, and has
found the black spots on the apples to con
sist of a fungus one of the oidia. The
spots vary in size from a pin's head to a
good sized pea. A small portion of tho dark
downy tuft growing in the centra of the
spot, when removed by the point of a pen
knife to a suitable Slide and placed under
the microscope, will show the fungus. My
celium and threads and spores extending
from these sometimes cover a iarge part of
the apple, as may be seen with even a low
power of the instrument. Slides can easily
be prepared so as to show the fungus either
as opaque or transparent. The spores are
inconceivably small, and thousand of them
with the mycelium might lodge in the fauce3
without being felt, unless they should begin
to germinate.
The microscope reveals the fact that the
decayed part of apples also is infested
through and through with a similar fungus.
Mr. Thomas Taylor, a microscopist in
Washington, D. C. , has discovered an Ento
zoa one" of the anguelluse in a diseased pear,
also in diseased peaches, and even a deseas
ed tomato. Buffalo M. S. Journal.

city of Albany on Wednesday, Feb. 21,
1883 at 1 o'clock P. M. All societies devot
ed to the interest of the temperance cause
are urged to send delegates, the basis of rep

Horse Lost .
On Monday evening Mr. Perry Preston,
drayman of this city, drove into the river
at the ferry landing for the purpose of wash
ing his dray. The river was well up at the
time,-and upon entering the water the horse
stepped into a hole that had been washed
out by the current, lost his equilibrium, and
plunged forward into deep water, taking
the dray with him. The animal did not
rise to the surface haviug been strangled at
the first plunge. The dray and harness
were recovered on Wednesday.
Quick Work.
J. H. Aldrich and Jack Allphin, of the
Summit, did not only a substantial job but
an exceedingly quick one in the work of re
pairing the Yaquina river bridge at the
Warren Bros'. which was taken cut by the
late flood. They took the job by contract
and commenced work on NTjf Years day
and in just one week's time they pulled ti e
old bridge from the river and replaced it
with a substantial structure, 10 feet in
ength and 3 feet higher than the original.
Messrs. Aldrich and Allphin are to be con
gratulated, as the bridge was much needed,
and we must confess that for quick bridge
building this -'yanks the bum."
Bough time at "The Front."
The rough civilization on tho works of the
N. P. R. R., known as "the front," is still
manifesting itself and murders are frequent.
Every day reports come into the camps of
desperate encounters and desperate charac
ters meeting sudden and awful deaths at
the hands of lawless persons. Whisky is
king and drunken brawls are frequent, when
the ever ready revolver is whipped out and
murder is the result. No arrests are made
and there is no law. Surely there ought to
be some effort to have civil officers and some
kind of local courts in these localitses-
Forty-Five Miles of the O. & C. E. E.
Accepted.
Rev. E. R. Geary, James Fisk and Col.
J. McCracken, the commissioners appointed
by the President of the United States to ex
amine and report to the government the
condition of the southern extension of the
O. &:C. railroad, says the Roseburg Plain
deakr,ca,me up last week and went over the
constructed road and formally examined the
same as far as the West Fork of Cow creek
a distance of 45 miles south of here, and
duly accepted it. They reported this part
of the road the best along the entire line be
tween Portland and the southern terminus,
the same being laid with steel rails and well
ballasted the entire distance.
Missing.
Joseph Kisberger who left Corvallis this
spring to work on the O. & C. R. tt. exten
sure, has been missing for some time. The
Roseburg Independent says that he left
camp No. 8 on the 18th of December last,
for George Riddle's for a hors9 and mule.
He obtained them and started on his return
the same day riding the mule and leading
the horse. The next day the animals were
found returning towards Riddle's, the mule
having the saddle on, since which time noth
ing has been heard of him. Kisberger was
a German, abous thirty years of age and was
an immigrant of 1831. He had been at work
for the railroad company all summer with
five animals, which are still at camp. It is
supposed that in attempting to ford the
stream in the dark he was drowned.
Vaccination for Blackleg.
L. B. Applcgate, of Swan Lake, saya the
Ashland Tidings, informs us that many of
the cattle men of Klamath county are vac
cinating their calves with garlic, as a pre
ventive of blackleg. The idea is not a new
one, as the same preventive has been used
for many years in European countries. An
incision is made in the skin and fleshof the
calf, usually about the shoulder, and a
small piece of garlic is inserted, after which
the skin is sewed together. Several calves
which nave been vaccinated in Klamath
county have had the blackleg, and have re
covered from it, which is strong evidence of
the efficacy of vaccination, for the disease
has been invariably fatal, so far as we have
heard, among calves not vaccinated. The
Applegate and Collohan herds have been
