Last Monday afternoon the express team took a httle spin, and in the course of their ramblings ran onto the sidewalk and tore away the unsightly and much abused iron pump in front of Allen & Woodward's drug store. The pump, situated as it was on tbe sidewalk, has been the cause of many unspeakable epithets by pedestrians on a dark night when coming in contact with the immovable thing. The downfall of the aid pump is a source . of satisfaction to every one. No damage to team or express wagon. Visited the city. Corvallis received quite a notable call one day last week, not however from an influen tial citizen, railroad official nor office holder, but from one of those bold sheep-killers, more particularly described as a coyote. When first observed he was on the flat just above town at the junction of Mary's river and the "Willamette. Rather than cross the river he started down one of the streets, when David Osburn nave chase on horse back, and who made it exceedingly tropical for the varmint for a while until he finally made his escape, bearing the marks of Dave's cattle whip. It is barely possible that he will visit our city again soon. s ee, i eai Aa Ancient Poem Adapted to the Oregon Climate. Contributed by a Chronic Growler. Thirty days hath September, April, June and Movember, But the rain it raineth every day. February hath twenty-eight, Then the Willamette waxeth great, While the rain it raineth every day. Leap year giveth one day more, Wet as those that went before, For the rain it raineth every day. All the rest have thirty-one - - r Without a single gleam of sun, And the rain it raineth every day.

Little Maud Cauthorn, daughter of Sena tor Cauthorn, who was severely scalded last week is recovering nicely. John W:llis, who was committed to the asylum form this county sometime ago. died at that place last Monday. Three old bachelors ot Albany have ad vertised in an Eastern paper for wives. Albany girls are in despair, says the Demo crat. There is $40,000,000 of unclaimed money no r in the United States Treasuty. Some editor evidently dropped it out of his pock et and never missed it. A bill appropriating $30,000 for the erec tion of an additional building for the State University at Eugene City has passed both branches of the legislature. Bev. I. D.

A New Orleans minister recently married a colored couple, and at the conclusion un necessarily remarked: "On such occasions as this it is customary to kiss the bride, but in this case we will omit it." The indig nant bridegroom very pertinently replied: 'On such occasions as dis, it am de custome to gib de minister $10, but on dis case we will omit it." A mum sociable is suggested with the fol lowing rules: First All entering are ex pected to maintain perfect silence. Second The first one who speaks will be fined $1.

Fifth those who re frain from talking the entire evening will have their refreshments gratis. The other day when we were in Corvallis we were agreeably surprised to meet Mr. G. W. Smith, whom we met years ago at Ashland. He is still pursuing the even tenor of his way, in the jewelry, watch and clock repairing business, and in fact he can do anything in his line in first-class, work manship style. We know him of old, and he will give von satisfaction in his dealings. Do not forget to call on George W. Smith, Main St., Corvallis, Or. Roseburg Review. Corvallis has a regularly organized cook ing club, which meets once a week. The object of this club is to improve its fair members in the -art of practical cooking. Each member, on the day of the meeting, prepares a dish of some kind and conveys it to the place of meeting, where they in turn "give their experience," for the mutual ben efit of all. If all of their meetings are as pleasant, and their cooking as perfect as at the residence of Miss Kate Carlile last Wednesday afternoon, we are of the opinion that improvement in the culinary art is out of the question. Long live the Corvallis J t 00 King V1UD. Suver Sayings. -s. Suver, Feb. 18, 1885. The weather has been very rain v during the week.

MERIT. state Board of Agriculi ure A bill to provide for the organization of a State Board of Agriculture, to promote the agricultural and other industrial interssts of the state, encourage immigration, and make appropriations therefor, has passed both house and senate, and now awnits the signa ture of the Governor to become a law. The bill appropriates $5,000 annually for the next, two years to the State Board of Agriculture, to bo used in the award of premiums. It also provides that the State printer shall do the necessary printing for the society, to advertise the resources of the State, make announcement of fairs, etc. It also provides that thirty days after the passage of the act the Governor shall ap point eight resident citizens of the State, who, together with four persons elected by the State Agricultural Society, shall consti tute a State Board of Agriculture. Twenty days after appointment they shall meet in the Capitol building and elect a president, secretary, and Treasurer, who shall each hold his office one year. The members of the board shall organize them selves into four classes, of three members each, one class to serve one year, one to serve two, three, and four years respective ly, and they shall make their own constitu tion, by-laws and rules. . Their regular place of meeting shall be in the Capitol building. They shall have the management of the State fair, appoint officers, etc. Their secretary shall make an annua state ment of their acts and financial standing to the Governor. The State does not make itself responsible for any debts of the society out side of the $5,000 per year ap propriated. Corvallis Water Works. A company has recently been formed and incorporated for the purpose of supplying the city with first-class water works, to be in working order by the first of May, or possibly sooner. It is the intention of the company to procure a pnmp with a capacity of supplying water for a city three times the present size of Corvallis. The incor' porators are Dr. G. R. Farra, Wm. Pitman, W. B. Chase and O. R. Additon. Monroe Musings. Monroe, Oregon, Feb. 16, 1885. There was last week in Monroe a feat per formed which we suppose in medical science was of uo uncommon occurrence, but, to the unsophisticate it was truly a wonder. It was the extraction of a live animal from the body of a living man. This animal is familiarly known to the Ethereal Medico Cork Screw Latin . scholar as the Teania Solum, or the Bothirocephalus Latus, but to the common intellect it is known by the euphonious name of tape worm. It is con ceded in natural science to be a parasite with many qualities in general common to the mistleto found growing on White Oak timber, but it is Si Geuerees in one Bense. It is formed of segments and each of those segments contain within itself the full pow ers of self-production, and those segments can be easily severed from the parent trunk without any apparent injury to either. We will refer the dubious and doubtful to Dr. Wortman, the extractor. Tins one was found by actual measurement to be over 21 teet long. The only inference we drew from the facts, was, that if as peace able and quiet a person as Mr. W. Mail seems to be has such things in him, then there must be people within the knowledge of all ot us, who are chuck full of centi- peecla, tarautulas, rattlesnakes and alliga tors. There is a new firm of M. D.s in town. Dr. F. Wortman has associated with him Dr. G. H. Flett. We wish them success as they are both studious and careful. 1 he firm of Wilhelm & Looney are pre paring to rebuild their storehouse that fell under the snow pressure this winter; The prospect of spring trade demands more room. There is an oversight in our e fficient and courteous miller in not having sufficient flour on hand for home consumption. Data. Philomath Paragraphs. There seems to be a disease among the horses in this community that has proven fatal in many instances. It seems to be in many cases very much like the distemper that is quite common all over the country, but for some cause it is more fatal this year. Mr. Wm. Wyatt, living one mile north of Philomath, has suffered severely by the disease, losing eleveu or twelve head, some of them were excellent hor-:es. Some were young auiinals uubrokeu, hence they were harder to manage than those which were broken. It is thought by thoie that have been long in this country that the severe snow-storm this winter, uncommon to this climate,' has been the cause. It has proven much worse for horses that have been out in pasture than those in stable. Stock has not suffered alone, as there is a co'd or cough, almost an epidemic, going around through the country among the people, old and youug, that has been very severe since the storm., and there is scarcely an observer in Oregon, but what has noticed in the past that after a snow storm, severe colds and aud sickness occur. The winter wheat iu this part of the county looks very tine. A good prospect for a large crop at the coming harvest. What the remuneration of the husbandmen as to price will be for labor is yet in the future. Farmers are looking and wishing, and for aught I know, praying for good weather, so that they may be able to get in the spring crop in goad time. We are glad to learn that the ruling price o." grain for the last year has not altogether discouraged the agriculturalist, but ths full number of acres will be sown this year and wait the result as to the price. It seems to me that it would be the part of wisdom fr r the agri culturalist to change a little from the old plan of raisiug all wheat and oats and raise other cereals and vegetables; crops that will not be so hard on the land, and will in time lie mom remunratwe than the policy that has been pursue.! by farmers iu general. There is a piece of land now within the cor rate limits nf the city of philomath that to my knowledge has raised a crop of wheat or oats each year for thirty years, this policy without reat will wear out the best land iu the world.

Tne Waeat Market. Liverpool, Jan. 8, 1885. From Hausman, Kufeke & Co., we quote the following: Last week our market has been char acterized by great activity and considerable speculation of outsiders. Under these in fluences aided by large consumptive de mand, wheat for forward shipment has advanced 3-6 per quarter, and spot wheat about 8d per cental from the boUom. California flours are about cleared from the market. Walla Walla flours are still fairly plentiful and are held for more money. Minnesota Patents are scarce and sell readily at from 33-6 to 34. Bakers grades are 2 higher. First rate Winter Wheat Patents have advanced less than other kinds, and 1 ad vance is hardly obtainable. Extra Fancy and Fancy are 1-6 higher and the advance is freely paid. Hungarian flour is scarce and exceeding ly firm; it is 2-6 higher from the lowest. Imports for the week ending January 3rd, are about 318,864 qrs., which is about the average, making the total imports from Sept. 1st, 5,480,901 qrs. A circular from the same firm dated San Francisco, February 9th, says: There have not been any changes in the Markets on this Coast since our last issue, but the London and Liverpool Markets have again declined, from 3 to 6 pence a quarter, making business in wheat between here and Europe quite impracticable. Farmers here are not willing to take a less price for their grain, no matter up er down. Market across the water, and ocean freights remain in about the same position. This makes it bad for all concerned, and busiuess is once more at a standstill. We quote wheat to-day, at from $1.27J to $1.32, as to grade, and freights 40 to 42-6, per Iron, U. K. BORN. BECK WITH.
