Mr. Baesen will, very likely, ran his bay horse and needs that amount of time to get him in a racing con dition. Of course, the day set is with the supposition that it - will - be- pleasant weather. Tuesday's Storm. Since last Sunday it has been an almost con tinuous rain up to the time of the Gazette going to press. On Tues day the storm was quite severe all over the country, and several times the lightning was very sharp and the claps of thunder very loud. There was no damage done around Corvallis that has been known of, but at Yaquina bay it was not quite so mild. The severest storm known there for years prevailed, and in the forenoon it seemed to be the worst. Three places were struck by lightning; first was the old lighthouse, situated on the point directly west of Newport, which was hit by the zig zag stuff and three holes knocked in it and breaking nearly all the glass. The building is occupied by J. S. Pol hemus (who has charge of the government work) and family, but they received no injuries other than being terribly frightened. Some of their furniture was badly damaged. A tree close to Yaquina City was also struck and torn to pieces; there is a powder house within 200 feet of the tree but, luckily, it was not touched. (Prob ably this item would have been much longer had it been hit.) In Alexandria, just below Yaquina City, a trese on Ira Miller's property was a point for the lightning to strike and it, too," was knocked "senseless." There was a light ning rod attached to the old light house building but, it having been there for over, fifteen years,, it is supposed had become almost use less and was ho protection. i ' ., Town of ForFar. Win. Grant, wh,q formerly owned what is known as 'Highland. two miles below, New port, on south beach, has purchased 138 acres of land still farther south and nearer Seal Rocks, and has had the same laid off into blocks of four lots, each lot being 135 leet square. He has placed them on sale at $100 per lot ' and already several have been sold. Mr; Grant was for a long time a hard work ing tailor in Corvallis and has had many ups and downs in the past twenty years, but since his sale of the Highland property he has be come qui.te well-fixed - financially, and rightlullv he should. In a few weeks he will begin to advertise the new seaside town very exten sively. The name chosen for ,the place is ForFar a rather curious one it is. If any one desires a place by the deep, deep sea, Mr. Grant's property should be seen before purchasing elsewhere. Services. A union Thanksgiv ing service willjbe held at the Con gregational church, at 11 a. m., on Thanksgiving day. Rev. H. P. Satchwell, pastor ot the M. E. church, will preach and other pas tors will take other parts of the service. To-Night. The usual parlor meeting will be held on Friday evenirtg at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Emray Allen. The topic un der discussion will be that of "Nationalist Clubs." All inter ested are cordially invited. Enterprising. During the fore noon ot Tuesday last Lebanon, in Linn County, raised $3,000 toward a subsidy of $5,000 for a paper mill to be erected there. And on Wednesday the remaining portion was subscribed. . Bargains, in boots, and. shoos at Nolan's, PRATTLE. Several of the young men of Cor vallis, J have Heard, have formed them- sevesirito a ' Vwliiskeni! society the main object being' to let the fuz ori their face grow to such a length that the breezes of the winter of .'89-90 can preambnlate through them. This is ha d on the breezes and causes ' the barbers to look disconsolate. I am of the opinion, though,, that this sort of business won't last very long in fact I have facial evidence enough to ' say positively that it will soon be discon tinued. What will their dear girls say, anyway! Won't they be tickled. Bucoda is the name of a new town hv Washington t state. - The origin of its name is of a somewhat curious nature, however, it arises from civil ized sources. It may puzzle some of the commentators when they endeavpr to search for the origin. You might search all the foreign languages in the world and still not be able to discover it This is how it was christened: There were three great railroad men in that portion of the country where the town is now and their names were Buckly, Coulter and Davis. Each of them wished the town to be named after himself. But they could not come to an agreement, and finally, as a compromise, the two first letters from each name were taken and placed together and thei eby originated Bu-co- da. There are 3,111 brick buildings ia course of erection in Seattle. Iu Cor vallis there is 0,001. ; One day this week a man from Turn Turn, who is in attendance at court, asked me what that black flag was at half-mast for on the engine house pole, alluding to the weather signal. The answer he received was: that it was on account ot the death of summer. J I met a friend the other day and he showed me a potato he hud canied in his left pocket for 11 yoars to keep away rheumatism. This makes me think of the story of a Californian, that was told upon some one mentioning the Quince, while alluding to fruit. "The word carries me back to the Nearly days of thef frolicsome fifties,'' he said. "In those times perfumery was a scarce article in California, and the girls in order to make .themselves sweet, used to put quinces m their pockets when they went to balls and dances. When a girl was particularly pleased with a man she would let him smell of her quince as a mark of favor. Sometimes the girls would go into the garden andVoIl over in the camomile beds in order to be perfumed for their lovers, but as a rule they preferred ; the quince; and rightly so for there are few things on earth so deliciously scented. We have plenty of quinces in the valley now and plenty of girls, but the old ways are changed, and you will probably never have a chance of smell ing the sveetcst thing on earth: pretty girl with a quince in her pocket." An Arab proverb says "Gray hairs are the publishers of death." If that is the case then auburn locks must be the indicators of a conflagration. I think it would bs a good plan for the railroad commission to come to Coivallis and inspect the condition of its clerk::'s sidewalk. It is so hole-y that it is unsafe for man's locomotion and ere long some one may' be ditched. It is said Independence is to have another new weekly paper. It certainly cannot maintain its independence very long in a place of only about 1,000 population. . It i. quite amusing to read in the great Portland daily what an Albanyite has to say about the cause of the pros, perity of his city. He says it is greatly on account of "having so many nice looking young ladies residing there. Weil, that man evidently must be cor rect; for I know of several Albany belles who are so good looking that their bangs are false, their front teeth are loose, and their faces would stop a Tangent dude. Let every body, old and young, big or little, handsome or homely, Amerl can or foreigner, keep both of their on the great improvents to be made in and around Corvallis in 1890. Twelve trains, passenger and freight, arrive in and pass out of Corvallis every day in the twelve months that constitute a Willamette valley- yea (Sundays excepted, and on those sa cred days sometimes four), and : this does not include the numerous extras, hand cars, and velocipedes; more cattle and horses are shipped from this point to other places than are taken away from three of the principal towns of the east side; there are more pretty girls to the square (door) yard in Cor vallis than in the whole of Panbany; we are close to Mary's Peak, the Hood of the Coast range, and there fore hae pure air al 1 the time;- have the finest court house, and the most un safe ja:l in the state probably; and lots of new brick buildings will be erected beside a street rail way, a 1 rge steam flour mill, and other things which ro too n s t- m -n. Yes, keep both eyes on and get both feet in Cor vallis the coming "bigger" city of the -vest side. Retmus. S. P. Officials Here. Attached to Tuesday's noon mail train from Portland was a private official car of the Southern Pacific company, bearing the name of "Francisco." The occupants of the car were E. P. Rogers, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the lines in Oregon of this company; R. H. Pratt, assistant superintend ent; and C. F. Smurr, assistant general passenger and freight agent of the S. P. line. They had come up from San Francisco via east side giving that an inspection and were looking alter the west side. It being very rainy they did not go over very much of Corvallis. but expressed great delight with what they did see, and were espec ially infatuated with the scenery west of here. During the afternoon the car was transferred to the O. P. track where a special engine took them to Portland. There the car was attached to the southbound 8 p. m. overland and they began their homeward journey. Definitely Settled. Circuit Judge R. S. Bean, on Monday last, in the suit of Case & Bailey vs. the city of Newport, rendered . a ; de cision which is of great importance to the people of that city. 'The effect is to establish the street line on the water fronton the old origi nal survey. This line has beeii in dispute for several years. The city lost the suit and is therefore out several hundred dollars. The question is now definitely settled. In Washington, D. C. A dis patch from Washington elated November 19, states ' that "J. H. Stine, of Independence, Or.'i lias been appointed to a position in the government printing office." Cor vallisites will remember him as a workman in the Leader office here during the first of the year. He was also founder of the Independ ence West Side, Lebanon Express, and Grant's Pass Courier. Stine, shake As Aboriginal Wonder. There is in Umatilla county a human freak that bears the palm as a natural cari osity. It was an Indian child of the Nez Perces tribe, with but one eye, situated in the center of its forehead like those of the fabled cyclops. The child was able to see with ease, and ran . alout with as much 1 freedom as any ot its two-eyed companions. Ex. This "freak" should be sent to Albany as her ieople think every thing cen ters (?) there. , Appointed Secretary. Wallace Baldwin, of this city, who has been filling a position as manager of Jacobs & Neugass' store at Ya quina City, since last January, has been appointed secretary of the Albany , water works company. He will enter upon the duties of his position at once. - i .: For Sixty Days.

On last Wednesday evening, November 20th, 1880, occurred the social event of this season at the resilience of Judge John Bur nett, northwest corner of Monroe and Fifth street. - The occasion was the mar riage of Mr. and Mrs. Burnett's youngest daughter, Mat.tie, to Robert H. Huston, so well and favorably known in this city. The invited guests to the number bf sixty or more began to arrive a few minutes before 8 o'clock and at the appointed hour the large ami beautiful home of Judge Burnett presented a very happy appearance by being filled by so many happy persons consist ine of the elite of this city, friends from Portland ami Albany, Judge R. S. Bean of the circuit court, and several prominent attorneys. To the music of the wedding march skillfully rendered by Mrs. Ida (Burnett) Callahan, the father of the bride accompanied by his estimable wife entered the spacious parlor followed by Mr. Huston supporting upon his arm the one who, in a few short nioimnts. would bear the name of Mrs. It. H. Huston and took their places under a most artis tically arranged umbrella of crysanthemiims suspended from the ceiling. Rev. Dr. T'io:ripson, of the Presbyterian church, ap proached aid stood in the center or the room and performed the impressive mar riage ceremony which made Robert nn-.l Mattie husband and wife. ' Then came the warm ami hearty congratulations from the hands of the guests present. After a time of most pleasant social interchange ami en joyment, delicious refreshments were serv ed and happily continued the festivities of the evening. The presents were many iu numlier and rich in value and variety. Mr. and Mrs. Huston are truly to be complimented on the expressions of joy at this h ippy event; and Judtie Burnett and his wife have agini demonstrated their hospitAlity in entertaining so royally their friends upon this eventful occasion.' The bride was richly attired iu robes of nun's veiling with bridal veil pendant from her head crested with flowers. Many and many are the good wishes that follow Hubert and Mattie as they start forward on the hopeful voyage of wedded life. To-day they leave for their future home in Albany, where the bridegroom has a position as book-keeper iu one of the lead ing business houses.
