In another column will be found from Mr. A. Cauthorn, one of our best citizens, a letter written by him to as for publication from Mexico, Mo. He has lived in this community about 18 years and is now vis iting relatives and friends near the scenes of his younger days. He has withstood the trip well for a man of his ripe old age and seems to be enjoying himself well. We are informed that physicians say that scarlet fever is in town. This disease we also learn can be Carried from one to the other as easily as smallpox or diphtheria and its effects are often worse than smallpox. Yet we see people who have been around and exposed to this disease perambulating the streets all the time entirely disregardful of communicating the disease to others. We have state laws with severe penalties against any one who has been exposed to contagious diseases circnlating around so as to expose others and such matters should be looked after or else repeal the law. It is a matter coming directly within the duty of our city council also, New Course for Sewer. We took occasion this week with one of our city council to examine the ground fiom where the new sewer is to commence down to Dixon creek. This is the natural pass way for the water from the town. And by laying the sewer in that direction and turn ing the corner of two or three lots so as not to run through any persons lots, the work can eertainly be done for one-half the cost of running it east to the river. And when the one is done towards Dixon creek it will drain the entire town and there will be no need of digging any more sewers to the river, while the one contemplated to the river will only drain a small part of the town. Hoiiooi Closed. The north district school of this city, un der the management of Mr. A. F. Hershner as principal, and Mrs. Terwillager as assis tant teacher, closed last Friday the 18th in st., after a very successful year in the school work. As the pupils of the school made marked progress in their various branches of study, the patrons are highly pleased with the results. In the afternoon of the last day, over 200 persons were pres ent to witness the closing exercises, which consisted of dialogues, recitations, etc., after which remarks were made by Supt. E. A Milner, N. L. Raber and Dr. Embree. At the close of these exercises a nice ink stand was presented to Mr. A. F. Hershner as a token of the esteem in which -he was held by his pupils, after which scholars and teachers reluctantly parted. A Painful Accident. Hon. Geo. B. Dorris met with a very painful and dangerous accident last Tuesday evening says the Eugene Journal. He was breaking a board when a piece of it flew up and the sharp end stuck into the ball of his left eye between the center and left corner. It penetrated the ball of the eye so deep that he had to take hold oi the silver, which was several inches- long, and pull with con siderable force to draw it out. The accident was a terrible one. However, Mr. Dorris could at last accounts distinguish Tight from darkness with that eye, and hopes are en tertained that he will not lose the sight of the eye. We sincerely hope that he may speedily recover without the loss of his sight. He has the sympathy of the entire community in this sad affliction. . ' Alisgad Hydrophobia. A case of supposed hydrophobia has oc - curred at Puyaltup, says the Tacoma Ledger, and Dr. Williams has brought it under the notice of the authorities. The patient is an orphan boy who has been for some time in the household of Mr. Bowman, a farmer near Puyallup. . On Saturday morning he took a fit, frothing at the mouth and barking and snarling exactly like a dog. Indeed, when the doctor had him partially under the influence of chloroform he imi tated the motions of a dog. On Sunday, morning he became calmer and showed nothing more than the ordinary symptoms of idiocy. He was brought into this city on Monday and examined before Judge Howes, by Drs. Bostwick, Williams and Kelly.; The boy went by the name of James Mowbray, and both his parents are said to have died in Montana. He was for a time chargeable to the county, and after wards worked at the shingle mill until he was taken into Mr. Bowman's family. While the examination was in progress in Judge Howes' office yesterday, a small dog, be longing to the judge happened to walk in., immediately the boy's eyes were distended and fixed wildly da the animal, the boy showing all the symptoms of hydrophobia. As the boy had become a public charge no better place was known than the Territorial asylum at Steilacoom, and accordingly Sheriff Winsor took the Unfortunate boy there last night. eard of Thanks.

We wish to return' our heartfelt thanks to the many friends who kindly tendered their assistance and sympathy daring the late sickness in our family. R G. Simmons. G. M. SnrntoNS. THE FIRE FIEND. A Widow Lady the Victim A Generous Crowd Make up Funds Sufficient to Repair Damages. At about five o'clock last Sunday after noon the alarm of fire was sounded add al most instantaneous Young America engine company and the Hook & Ladder company were on the street responding to duty. The victim of the fire fiend was found to be the residence of Mrs. Thompson on the block just north of the court house. After some little delay occasioned by a circuitous route in taking the engine to the cistern all was ready for work. By this time, however. the flames faned by a very strong South east wind was running out through- two thirds of the roof of the house from the comb down on either side. From the ap pearance of the fire when the engine began to work, it looked like the house might not stand over 20 minutes. When the word was given "down with the breaks" every man was to his post and began in earnest, and in less than half an hour the fire was all extinguished. About two-thirds of the roof of the building was burned off. The roof was damaged so badly that it will have to be supplied with a new one entirely. The remainder of the building was saved without material damage except what was occasioned by the water. Even the upper floor was saved so that from all appearance it will be good for future use. Nearly all of the contents of the hovse were taken out by willing hands but much of it was more or less damaged as is always the case on oc casions of the kind. Nearly every person in town was present and as soon as the last spark was extinguished an effort among the crowd was made to raise funds to repair the house and put it in condition to again be inhabited A very few minutes only elapsed until the crowd had made up a fund of $600, which, it is expected, will be sufficient to repair the premises and place them in good condition. Mrs. Thompson is a very worthy widow lady and a long res ident of our town and the fund raised no doubt came at a very acceptable time. Will the Statesman Make the Correction. The daily Statesman of the 19th copied the correspondence published in the last issue of the Gazette, entitled "Call a Halt." The Statesman fails to say that the article was from a correspondent to our paper, but it says "The following appears in the Cor vallis Gazette" and then it goes on to copy the article without signing the correspon dent's name to the bottom, which would lead any one to believe from reading the item in the Statesman that the item named was an article of the Gazette instead of being that of a correspondent. The fact of the matter is that a firm friend of the school handed us the article entitled "Call a Half' for publication in the Gazette because some of the scholars had taken part in an ama teur minstrel performance which he did not approve of and he desired the article pub lished in order to express his disapproval of their engaging in the performance. The Statesman certainly could not help recogniz ing that the article was from a correspond ent and should have known better than to credit it in such manner as to mislead. Will the Statesman please correct her mistake before her readers? We expect to stand before the world with our own articles, but we do not expect an old established paper like the Statesman to make the careless and we might say almost unexcusable blunder of crediting correspondence to our paper in such manner as would lead her readers to infer that it was our own editorial. ALBANY PEOPLE ALIVE. will Corvallis People Wake Up From Their Lethargy and do Likewise. The Albany Herald says: "A company has been organized in this city to be known as "The Albany Woolen Mill Com pany," and has filed articles of incorpora tion with the secretary of the state and with the county clerk of Linn county.

LETTER FROM MEXICO 110. May 7th, 1883. Editor Gazette t I feel that many of your readers and many of my friends would like fd here from me. I will therefore give you a short account of my journey East ward. I left Corvallis April 9th, and spent the night at Gervais with my son Dr. F Cauthorn, arrived at Por tland on the 10th and after visiting friends went on the fine Stea mer State of California on the 12th but did not sail until the early morning of the 13th with a full and strong stomach, bat as we neared the swelling waves of the Columbia bar my stomach began to unload, but I took some comfort from the fact that I was not alone, for the cabin that a short time before had so many cheerful occupants was soon emptied and they hurried to their rooms where they would be secluded from any one that might be so hard hearted as to laugh at their afflictions. I arrived at San Francisco Saturday the 14th when our appetites reviv ed and I enjoyed breakfast for the first time since leaving the Columbia. Here we met with our old friend Rev. A. E. Sears who was once agent of Corvallis College, and who is widely known in Oregon. Dr. Fin ley formerly president of Cor.valtis College called at the hotel to see me but I was out at the time, and his engagements would not permit him to tarry, So I Was not premitted to sea him whom I loved so well. I took the train for Sacramento and arrived there at night and remained over Sunday in that beautiful city. " I went up to Diamond Springs on Monday to visit Mr. C. D. Brooks who was kind enouch to take me in his carriage to Pla cerville where in 1849 I Was engaged in diging for gold and thplace is now quite a city and changed very much. I could locate the very spot where I used the pick and shovel with success. The little cabin that 1 once lived in has been displaced and on the spot is a fine buildiug. I returned to Sacramento and according to previous ar rangements met with Mr. S. W. Look, his wife and daughter, who also were going east. We arranged to make one family and I assure you I was fortunate to have made such arrangements. A more happy family never crossed the plains. Three of us be ing old we placed ourselves under the su pervision of Miss Jane Look, and I assure you we were in good hands I could not help but admire the care and affection with which Miss Look attended to her aged parents and more especially her old and infirm mother. I will never forget the kind ness bestowed on me and the pleasant hours we spent on our journey; but sadness filled my heart to part from them at Council Bluffs to think I should see them no more. I ar rived at Mexico, Mo., on Friday, the 27th of April at 2:30 o'clock in the morning, and found my son B. R. Cauthorn it the depot waiting for my arrival. I need not express my feelings in meeting with his family after an absence of 18 yeafs from Mexico. I have met with a great many old friends who flock around me to give me a hearty shake of the hand. The city of Mexico is so changed that I recognize nothing of former days. I have visited a great many and still I am not near around yet. A. Cauthorn. DIES SIMMONS. At the family residence in this city, on the -Uth inst., Joseph Clif ford, infant son of R. G. - and C. M. Sim mons, aged 11 month is and 20 days. Little Clifford was a child of rare promise. Beautiful, amiable, and of far more intelli gence than most children of his age; he was the special pride and pet of a large circle of relatives and friends, who deeply mourn1 the loss of his bright and winsome presence. Pure as an angel, death was to him but a morning sleep, from which he will awake among the saints in Heaven. The afflicted family have the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends and acquaintances in this sad nour of bereavement. Com. HOPE At Independence, Polk county, Uregon, Cornelius Hope of Philomath, Oregon, on last Tuesday the 15th, of lung fever. - He had only been sick about five days, had procured a job of work for the summer at the place of his death and had gone there to commence work, but was taken suddenly ill with the above result. His wife was summoned and reached him only one and a half hours before his death. OS BURN Mrs. W. T, Osburn died at her residence in Eugene city Saturday, May 12. She was one of the earliest settlers of Lane county, Oregon. item from Alpine. Strawberries are getting ripe but are not plentiful yet. Every one is jubilent over the prospective extension of the W. S. R. R. to Junction. Unless we can have a branch to the Yaquina near us the W. S. will be our main accom modatoin for transportation. The prospect for grain has,' on account of so much cold wet weather, looked very poor but is now improving; There will be a campmeeting at the Bel- fontaine camp grounds the last of June. A large attendance is predicted. . ' Rev. F. P. Belknap preaohes regularly at Simpson's chapel. His sermons seem mostly devoted to practical ethics and little'' to doc trine o creed. He evidently does not be lieve there is such a thing as divorcing mor tality and Christianity. He manifests great solicitude for the young and often expresses great anxiety for the future welfare of so many children of the present generation who are, without doubt, growing up under too lax discipline and insists Upon tbe par ents themselves doing more of the reforma tion and regeneration of the age at home. Mr.- West our new and enterprising neigh bor, who recently married to Mr. Ollie Goodman is improving his place very much in tbe way of substituting comely plants, fences' for old rail ones and by adding a handsome porch to his residence . Miss Minnie Orerby who has been in the neighborhood several years, has recently returned to her home at Huntsville,' W. T. She will be missed by a multitude of friends. Some of our young ladies have assumed a Very practical and independent turn of mind. Two or three of them' having already gone to tiie upper country to take up places and others are talking of it. How long this independance will prevail in their new lo cality is a conundrum guessed at by those left behind. A Sunday School concert is under way for the third Sunday in June. An excep tional good time is anticipated. The much needed road work has begun in this district. Since the game law passed into effect the deer have been gradually losing their pro verbial timidity in fact are growing bold and dangerous. A number of them have had to be killed recently "in self defense." That is another dead-letter-law, or what is worse it has the effect of keeping the luxury of venison away from the table of the law abiding an'd of placing it all the more plen tifully upon that of the law-breaking. Such unrighteous discrimination on the part of our law-makers in favor of wickedness is certainly most culpable; Monroe, May 21, 1883. ifiS Buena Vista Items. (Prom our Regular Correspondent): Beautiful Weather. The farmers are about through sowing their spring grain, which will result hi a good crop. Our enterprising townsman, Mr. E. C. Hall has gone to eastern Oregon for the benefit of his health. Messrs Perry and James Prather returned from Eastern Oregon a few days ago, bring ing with them some fine stock. Mr. W. E. Wilcox returned from Port land a few days ago, bringing a fine lot of notions, such as fishing poles, hooks and lines with him. Mr. G. S. Hall, deputy road supervisor, is having the roads put in good condition. Nearly Fatal Bee-Sting. Mr. S. H. Horton, living four miles west of Monroe, while working recently id the vicinity of his bees, was stung by .a single bee. The state of his system was such that this single sting made him so sick that he could not get into the honse without assis tance, and it threw him into convulsions. A physician succeeded in counteracting the effects of the poison. COUNTY TEMPERANCE ALLIANUf?. Proceedings of the Meeting Constituf.cn Adopted Delegates Present-- . Officers Elected, Etc.
