An impromptu surprise party was gotten up Wednesday evening by a few friends in the city of Mr3. Virgil Davis. The pnrly was composed of Mrs. Emma Smith, as chaperon, Misses Clara Cecil, Lizzie Callo way, Rosa and Eda Jacobs and Bertha Neu gass; and their invited gentlemen friends who were Mose Neugass as jehu, Kobt. Johnson for his noisy disposition, B. R. Job, the banker, for his good looks, W. H. Maus field as a natural consequence, Dr. C. H. Lee, for his professional service! in the event of an accident, and the vi iter for his good clothes and this notice. After a very pleasant ride of eight miles the drives pulled np iu front of the handsome farm residence of Mr. John Harris, know as the Oak View Farm, one fr'f the most delightful country residences in Benton county After a couple of hours iilsasautly spent in rambling around the grounds, partaking of refreshments pre pared by the obliging hostess, etc., etc., the party returned to Corvallis by moon light, arriving without accident, or calling into use the professional services of the Dr. "Twelve Kile House" Burned. Last Friday afternoon the residence of Mr. U'm. Gird, long known as the twelve mile house, the old stage station, 12 miles south of Covydlis, was destroyed by fire. The tire either caught from the flue or on the roof, and aU efforts to save the building were of no avail. Some of the furniture and household good were removed from the building but were also burned, caused by a change in the iitd, which however was a fortunate circumstance, as the barn and other out buildings would most certsinly have been burned had it not been foi 'So change. The honse was insured with the Home Insurance Co., of Salem, for SoOO, which will coyer only about one-third of the loss. The house was occupied by Mr. M. O'Connor, who lost almost all of his posses sions, not saving enough clothing for every day wear. LOCALJIOTE. Ice cream at Bain's. Fresh oysters, all styles, at Bain's.

Meeting of Railroad Ore tutors: A meeting w-s held on Wednesday of this week near Philomath by unsatisfied men who claimed their grievance was be cause they could not get their pay from the Railroad Company. We learn that there was but little enthusiasm manifested at the meeting, but few had anything to say and little interchange of ideas as to what they lesired were given. Aud we also learned that quite a number of persons were present from idle curiosity to see what was going on aud whom the Railroad Company did uot owe anything. We also learned that a committee was appointed to interview the Railroad Company on terms of settlement aud the same resolutions were passed as was published in this paper last week and which were passed at a similar meeting held in this phtee. It certainly must be the case that good and law abidiug citizens must condemn and disfavor that part of their resolutions which goes to preventing the railroad trains and operations from going forward. If prevented by force or without legal authority those who thus prevent trains from running would become viola tors of the law and would be subject to punishment. Our law goes further than this because it- makes punishable by severe penalties any person to make such person do or not do something against their will. Those creditors of the company who desire and threaten to stop trains fr. m running on the road are centainly standing iu their own light and work against their own financial interests, because aside from the conven ien:e the road is to the public, while run ning the train from a financial point of view can earn about $1000 per week, and hence the company would be 1000 per week bet ter able to pay a 1 their creditors when the t ains run than wh-.?h laying idle. Since last week the Railroad Company have set tled with the striking engineers, trainmen aud bridge builders, and have alse- during the present week, partially paid many to whom they were indebted along the line of the road. It is to be hoped that the com pany will be in condition to pay eveiy thing up before lonj;; so that the enterprise may go a head ard come out from under the cloud of difficulties in which it seems to be entangled. Ari Expected Hatca: Game. At the meeting of the Eclipse Base Bal Club of this city ou last Tuesday evening it was decided to challenge the Eugene nine for a friendly match to be played on the Harnsburg ground on the 17th iust,, if the the challenge is accepted.

CORRESPONEENCE. Elk City, April 24, 1885. Eds. Gazette: This country is now resting-under a cloud in consequence of the strike on the O. P. R. R. , and the incendiary burning ot tunnel No. 2. Just when we were expecting the good time long looked for, when the road should be completer! to Corvallis, some per son or persons too far lost to all human feel ing, burned the tunnel, and this crippled aud impared the trade that was benefiting the country many thousand dollars. The people over here condemn the burning in the most positive terms and that the per petrators of the crime should Vie punished to the fullest extent of the law. What good can be accomplished by embarissirig the company in trie wanton instruction ot tneir property, and thus prevent them frcm doing as well by their creditors as they would do if left alone to operate the road iu peace. No one who has the welfare of the country at heart can countenance such acts of V o- ence for a moment. It s ems to me that the organization who have undertaken to control the road aud prevent work by force partakes more of a mob than the strikers and they .-an not get the sympathy and sup- ort of law abiding citizen. The company owes a great ininy h w I laboring men that ought to have their money, but I have no ubt that every dollar will be pail in full as S"0n as it possibly can be done. As times ire very h.n and money Scarce let men be iiatient and give their influence to prevent the distraction of property and unlawful ombinatinns and orgrnizations. Reason hould rule in this matter instead of igni - ranee, passion and iiotneaneitness. rsotuin.. can possibly be gained by such a course and much may be lost. Notwithstanding all this trouble an I dis' motion of property th ad will be complete I au l the c untry wi 1 fuel the inrpn'se and benefit, ot a good rail road to the sea.

Gray has the thanks of this office for a fine lot of tame strawberries, tendeiel Tuesday morning. He informs us that he noticed ripe berries on h.'s vines on the 18th of April, and that by the 23rd he was placing them on the market. The Ladies' Coffee Club at their last meet ing was presented with the $20 from the two hose companies, wh'cW was to have been uiven to the best hose team in the race last 4th of July, but owing to the judges being unable to decide who the race belong ed to, the money has been in dispute ever since. This disposal of the money meets the universal approval of all concerned. Harry Roggers, better known as "Dutchy" who has for the past 18 months served this office in the capacity of devil, job printer and compositor, is this week taking a va cation, spending the same in the country. He will no doubt speedily return when in formed of the fact ikat the shy glances and bewitching smiles cast by coy yonng maidens at his accustomed place by the window have changed, until now they re mind one of a funeral ceremony. wishes fir his future welfare attend hm.
