Irvin, one ot Corvallis' popular boot and shoe makers has been riding horsebacck over different parts of the county hunting a horse which he lost the fore part of the week. He says the horse which he rode was not a pacer and as a consequence he has been compelled ever since the ride to take his mea's off from the mantleboard. W. B. Scott and N. B. Springer of Al bany, v, hile out duck hunting in a boat drifting down stream came near j.drowning. They drifted down against the side of a log where the water was too swift and their boat capsized loosing guns game and all else they had with them, to the value of about $150, They got out with much difficulty.

Any one return. ing him to the owner here or furnishing in formation regarding his whereabouts will be suitably rewarded. The horse was- kept in Polk county near Lewisville before Mr. Irvin owned him. The Jay Rial's dramitie troupe at the city Hall in this city last Friday night played Uncle Tom's C din pro'oably as well as conld have lieen expected considering the faet that it is hardly practicable for a stay of only one night for such a troupe to bring their full supply of scenery and things which they have in larger places. They played their parts better than those travelers who gen erally find their way to this place. A most extraordinary aud painful pheno menon has lately oecured in Warsaw. A women died under somewhat peculiar cir cumstances, which gave rise to a report that her death was caused by her husband's ill treatment.

Young returned this week from Portland where he has been for severaj days. While there he bought an interest in a real estate and loan company and will move to Portland to take charge of his in terest by the first of next month. Mr. Young says business is booming there and he is going to have some of it. His many friends will regret to learu that he is going away from Corvallis. It is said that much complaint is made by travelers to Portland being deceived by the employes of the baggage transfer Co. The hotels irake it a business to transfer the bag gage of their guests free of charge. And the Baggage Co. sometimes represent to travelers in order to get their baggage check that their transfer of the baggage will not cost the traveler any thing and when he ar rives at his hotel he finds a bill already paid on his baggage which he has to replace. An Earnest and Effective Argument. Unfortunately the rumbling war like sonnds of the battle field during the last week fell upon our ears. Th ravage of - !iq in vailed th salted precincts of ear , t ' Tt w on IS Tuesday beautiful cJ , v when the unfortunaJ conflict beg-' moist condition of the atmosphere during the winter just passing made it necessary for the unfortunate individuali under con sideration to carry the usual protective against damp. One of the parties engaged for the conflict had nnfortunately lost that valuable treasure, He met his victim on the street and straightway accused him of having purposely carried away his umbrella at an unfavorable time and for his own use. The one accused straight forward without further ceremony went spat and it came right between his opponents eyes, and at it they went. An eager crowd soon gathered around when they found that Mose Neugass and Reube Kiger ware earnestly engaged in ariruinz a Question upon which they could not agree. Each received slight abrasions of the skin about the face, and the city re corder got the regular fees besides the hsu al sum to replenish the city treasury. Another man Killed. Mr. George Circles, recently arrived from Beaver creek, informed us that a man nam ed Miles, who was herding horses near Snow mountain in'that section, was found dead with a bullet hole in his breast Rob bery is supposed to have been the motive of the murder. r-ZVinwWs ycs. The Pile Driver. Among other of the many enterprises in Benton county worthy of note, is the steam pile driver owned by John Wm. Moore, of Corvallis, which does its work in a credita ble manner. Mr. Moore has his driver so arranged and adjusted that he can drive piling either on land or water, bavin? erect ed for that purpose a scow lexoO feet on which the machinery is placed and floated to any desirable spot in the stream. - Work is done substantial and expeditious by a massive 1G00 pound hammer which is hoist ed fifty-five feet to the top of the "jims" by a twelve horse power traction engine, and dropped with a tremendious "thud" on the head of the pile which is forced to yield to the heavy stroke. Mr. M. estimates the driving capacity at about twenty piling per lay and is now busily engaged fulfilling the contract of driving several hundred piling in the Willamette river, near the saw mill, tor Max Friendly, where he employs six men to assist him in the work. The driver is not only a substantial but a crediatble en terprise, and to those who need any such work done, we would say, that thU is worthy of patronage and that satisfaction will be given iu every instance. Coal From the Aiken Mine. Last week James Aiken had on exhibition at the Coos Bay drug store a quantity of coal from his mine on the south fork of the Coquille river. The coal looks well and experts who examined and tested it pro -nounces it much superior in quality to any thing of the kind at present being mined in this country. It cokes well and blacksmiths who tried it say it is fully up to the require ments of their business and a big improve ment on much of the imported coal which they buy at an extra vagaut price. The vein is located near the summit of the Coast range, aud shows from five to six feet of coal, but it is in five distinct layers, sep arated bv small seams of clay. Coos Bay Ex. Railroad Inspection. The commissioners appointed by the gov ernment to inspect the last completed 25 miles of the Northwest Pacific railroad, re turned to Portland last week, from their tour of inspection. The committee is com posed of CoL S. W. Childs, of the Army and Navy Journal, of New York, Dr. D. W. Storment. of Topeka, Kanas, and ex-Gov. A. C. Gibbs of this city, These gentlemen, went from Portland, a distance of 550 miles, and examined the last 25 miles, which they report as the best new road they have ever seen. New Tacama Improvements. The Tacoma Ledger says: A late issue of the Oregonian credits the sales of real estate by the Tacoma Land Company at 350 for 1882. For fear that the public may con strue this number as the total made in the city for the past year, it may be mentioned that a single firm has also sold 150 lots, 110 of which were in 1882. These were trans ferred to 73 purchasers, upon which 41 dwellings have been built, with ten more contracted to be built within six months. Other firms in New Tacomt have sold large quantities of real estate, consisting princip ally of lots in this city, on wbicb residents and business houses have beeu built. Memory-.

Not less than two hundred persons, con sisting principally of business men, many of whom are interested in Tacoma real estate and others who wish to be, arrived in the city during the past week. Some of these pebple came from down the sound, others from Portland, and others ftom distant points. A large proportion ol tne number will be identifi jd permently with the city. Within the past month a very noticeable and increased interest has been taken in real estate. The interest comprises, in ad dition to city property, bath timber and ag ricultural lands adjacent. Burglars at Salem. Sunday night Mrs. Monroe s house, so we were informed, was entered by buglars. On Monday or Tuesday night M. L. Mucker's house was burglarized, and on Wednesday niht J. W. Greenwood's house was entered while the family was in attendance at Uncle Tom's Cabin. Also Rev. Dr. N is bet's resi dence was broken into, and the house pret ty well ransacked, when the family was at church. Statesman. Child Burned, A daughter of W. H. Simmons, aged about niue years, who lives ten miles south of Salem, was very badly burned last week. It seems that the child was standing on the hearth near the fire, when her clothing caught, and before they codld be extinguish ed she was very badly burned, so much so that there are very great doubts of the child's recovery. A Valuable Book Premium. To every new subscriber to the Gazette between now and the first of next Apri who pays $2.53 in advance we will give one of Dr. B. J. Kendalls & Co's Treatise on the horse and his diseases free. This is a nice book in pamphlet form containing over nine ty pages and treats thoroughly of the di seases of the horse and the various remedies which cure those diseases. This is a rare chance to get a valuable book. Yakima. w. T, ,j- v.'iv oir: .as tnia is Christmas times perhaps you would hhe to know how the people of this upper country wj.vj uirinat.! i, ana as i was a looker on maby I can manage to tell some things that would be of interest to vour readers. Saturday before Christmas the day was spent in, shoorinf for turkeys and also oigeous. The distance for the turkeys was 40 yds. off Land and f?0 with rest. The Cow Boy took aim shot and walked off with alarge gol2?.r; aSd f nothing happens I will help to pick his bones on KoV Years day. There was a large crowd in the city and a heap of whiskey drank but not a row of any kind during the day. Sunday I listened to a good sermon preached by a Methodist preacher and 1 must say by far the best discourse 1 ever heard in this uppej countiy. Monday open ed out a little cloudy but soon cleared off and the day was the finest Christmas day I ever seen. All the day they were arranging for the Christmas tree and when the doors were opened the crowd gathered fast and the hall was crowded full. The tree was full of valuable presents and there was many little hearts made happy. After all was over the hall was cleared out and the dance commenced. There was not as .many there as would have beeu on account of another dance within two miles of town, although I understand there was 62 num bers sold and G3 at the dance near town. Ho you see our people all dance and but few go to church. Thursday morning the 28, we woke up and found about two in ches of snow covering oui beautiful valley for the first time this winter. To-day it is quite cool witii a north wind most all the time. Clear in all directions excepting to wards webfoot; from the looks of the black clouds that come over the Cascades J should say rain day and night down there. Up to this storm our roads were dry and nice. There was a grand rush made in Moxee- valley a few days ago for land. I under stand there was eleven sections taken and there is a company with seventy-five thous and dollars going to bring a large ditch out to irrigate the land. This land is on Fthe survey of the railroad. Land in that HeV is bringing a good price and a great, deal has changed hands. The talk is that there will be a town in that locality and the people of Yakima City are somewhat uneasy as it is on the opposite side of the river, and they fear it will take the business from their town. When I hear the whistle of the locomotive then I will begin to think i will have a railroad and not until then. Yours Truly, Cow Boy. Keal Estate for Trade or Sale. Any person wishing to buy city property or a good farm, or to trade a good farm in the country for a nice home in town wili do well to call at the Gazette office far some valuable infoTmataoa. Newport Notes. The steamers "Ona" and "Kate and Anna" have discharged their cargoes but have not tailed yet on account of rough weather. We learn that Miss Lydia Morrison, daughter of B.

He is a competent teacher and will push things along lively. 1 lie children have bad a good rest and are ready for another five months hard study. The mill which has not been running for some days on account ot the high water, is heard again this morning, and business is stirring in Monroe. The bankrupt stock of goods which was brought here by the unfortunate Abe Wach enhimer. was removed to Junction last week by Mr. Rice Holt. Poor Abel his trials are indeed severe. Mr. J. P. A 1 ford, who Uvea a mile south of Monroe, is suffering from some trouble of the lungs, and requires close attention The other cases are all improving I believe The nimrods of our town continue to bring in a stray duck occasionally. Even our sedate citizen, Mr. A. Wallace, was moved to try his luck yesterday, and I am told he brought in quite a good showing. I hear that we are to have a new dress making establishment in Monroe. . Hope it may be so, for Monroe needs one sadly. Mr. and Mrs. Fate Thompson returned from Halsey last Saturday, whither they had been called by the sickness and death of Mrs. Thompson's father, Rev. H. C. Jenkins. Mr. J. was well known and re spected by all the people of Monroe. Mailing Machine. Some time ago we purchased a new mail ing machine but until recently we have not had time to aet up type for and arrange the mailing list. The ma chine prints every subscribers name on the paper with the date at which his subscrip tion expires.

It is estimated to contain at least six million ft. oi tne very best ot lumber. The trees vary from two to ten feat in diameter and are nearly all perfectly sound and easily goten at This it seems to me would be a good loca tion for a portable sawmill as there is a good market for lumber in the neighborhood I am requsted by several gentlemen living at the summit to complain of the disorderly state of the mail service between here and Corvallis. It seems that the same complaint is made here as at Newport, viz: The de lay in getting the mail and the state of the mail on delivery. One gentleman showed me a paper covered with mud as a specimen I am assured that there never has been reasons for complaint in previous years. It is to ba hoped that af ter this notice there will be no further grou nds given for com plaint. CoL Issac Smith is staying at Mr. Crane's and toraporalv filled Mr. McMillan's posi tion as tunnel superintendent last weak. Messrs. McMillan and McGillireray have resigned.

He was very much liked by all who knew him and his demise is deeply regretted by all who knew him. T. Sidney Nasb, From "The Times." Editor of Times: The veterinary depart ment in your valuable paper is always read by ms with great interest, and I value the information received from it a hundred fold more than the small amount paid for the pa per. Une year ago you published a letter from Dr. John Bates, relating the wonder ful success he had had in curing spavins and spliuts with Kendall's Spaviu Cure, and his illusion in using it now in his practice for several human ailments on account of the success he has always had with it. The above statements from so prominent a phy sician gave me. great faith in its efficacy, and as I had been afflicted for years with rheumatism and bip-joint lameness so bad that I conld hardly walk at times. I pro cured a bottle and as it has completely cured me, I wish to proclaim it to the world, a the most wonderful discovery made for the benefit of afflicted men as well as the poor horse, for whi :h it was first used.

Benjyra Conty Or., Oneonta, New York, Jan: 6th. Early last summer Messrs. B. J. Kendall & Co., of Enosburgh Falls, Vt., made a contract with -the pub lishers of the Press for a half column -advertisement for one year setting forth the merits Of Kendall' Spavin Cure. At jjne same tftue we secured from the firm a quantity of books.' entitled Dr. Kendall'si Treatise on the horse and his Diseases, which we ar giving to advance paying subscribers 13 the -Press as a premium. About the time the advertisement first appeared in this paper Mr. P. G. Schermerhorn, who rcidea near Colliers had a spavined horse. He read the ad vertisement and concluded to test the efficacy of the remedy, although his friends laughed at his cred ulity. He bought a bottle of Kendall's Spavin Cur and commenced using it on the horse in accordance wii'h the directions, and he informed us th s week that it effected sucl; 4 complete cure that an expert horseman, whq examined the animal recently coiK find no trace of the spavin or the place where it had been located. Mr. Scherinerhorn has since secured a copy of Kendall's Treatise on the Horse and his Dis eases, which he prizes very highly and would ba loth to part with at any price, provided he kt4ld not obtain auother copy. So much for advertising reliable articles. READ PROOF OF WONDERFUL CURES. Fremont, Ohio, Jan. 25th. Dr. B. J. KrNDii.L & Co., Gents : I think it my duty to render you my thanks for benefits and profits which I have derived from your invaluable, and far famed Spavin Cure. My cousin and I had a valuable stallion, worth $4030 which had a very bad spaviu and was pronounced by fpur eminent veterinary sutgeons, beyond any cure, and that the horse was done for ever. As a last resort I advised my cousin to try a bqttle of KeudaH's Spavin Cure. It bad a magical effeot, the third bottle oured it and the; horse is as well as ever. Dr. Dick of Edinburgh, tho eminent veterinary surgeon was an uncle p! mine, at J 1 take great interest in assisting his profession! Yours truly. JAurs A.
