Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Fisher have sent out invitations announcing the, marriage of their daughter, Mollie, and Anson W. Thompson, youngest son of Rev. E. J. Thompson, next Tuesday .

Cooper, of this, city, was arrested last week by the deputy sheriff of Multnomah county on the charge of larceny by bailee. Mr. Cooper has been engaged in the -construction of the Astoria and South Coast railroad. On the 8th day of last May Wm. Reid wrote nine notes aggregating the sum of $1000 in favor of several persons who had been employed on the road, and gave them to Mr. Cooper to hold as trustee, pending cert iin negotiations. The parties in whose favor the notes were drawn knew nothing of the mat ter until some time afterward. As the ucotiations proved unsatisfactory to Mr. Reid, he wrote to Mr. Cooper instructing him not to lum over the notes, but to return, them to him, threatening to bring suit if he did not return them. The parties in whose favor the notes were drawn insisted that thev be turned over to them, and J. R. Brock, one of the parties, had Mr. Cooper arrested upon the charge named and the case was brought in justice's court. Mr. Cooper has filed Tvt.ition in the circuit court of Mult nomah county asking the privilege of delivering the notes to the- court, as trustee, pending the decision of the .,f ' This wou'd throw the case out of- the justice court and allow the sun tiio iwnverv of the notes- to be brought direct against Mr. Reid in stead of Mr. Cooper. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. The local meeting, of the teachers held at Superintendent Yates' office in the court house last Saturday was largely attended. The exercises were begun at 10 o'clock, when Prof. Mc Keen introduced a paper on the use of " The Word Method in Primary Read ing." The use of the diacritical marks is essential in connection with the word method. As the pupil puts sounds together to form words, the pronunciation is correct. Prof. Mc Keen's paper was marked with good suggestions and observations. Miss Newton rend a paper on "The Alphabetic Method." This method la imperfect. The pupil cannot read without spelling the words. The word is not a synthesis of the letters. Prof. Bristow did not favor the word method. It is a failure. Children must become more familiar with words by memory as he does with faces. Don't let a pupil Ie dependent on the teacher, but lean upon himself to solve word problems. Miss Spencer said a combination of the methods is necessary. One meth od is impossible. Prof. Yates said there were many defects in the word method. The child cannot go from one word to an other. But take the old alphabetic method, that is, the sound of the let ters. Combine a family of words. Miss Spencer stated that different members of a class often repeat the leader of the class in pronunciation. Prof. Bristow Teachers ought to hold that the progress is not to be measured bv the pages gone over in the book. Give more than one recita tion, if necessary to the success of the pupil. Miss Newton To dwell loo long, children onlv commit lessons to mem ory without knowing it. The institute adjourned at 12 m, to meet at 2 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION. The leading thought introduced in the afternoon was "Advanced Read ing." Miss Hoffman's paper suggested good ideas. Good reading is expected from more advanced students. Bad articulation is perfected by practice of the elementary sounds. Students should neyer be allowed to read what they do not understand. Study the thoughts as well as the words of a piece. For reading exercises Miss Spencer liked the new seriea ot books very well with the exception that they do not make sufficient use of the diacritical marks. Prof. Yates objected to the third and fourth books in selections from unknown authors. Too much of the nature of fairy tales. Miss Hoffman Don't always con fine students to text books. Mrs. Callahan Children should study the meaning of words. Rev. Balantyne urged the necessity of studying the vocabulary for the meaning of words. Miss Spencer Teachers pay too little attention to the natural tone of the pupil's voice. Tone down the gut tural voice. Cultivatehis ear. Vow els are the best to cultivate the tones, but for articulation consonants are pre ferred. Correct bad strains of reading by modulation. Improvement in read ing is- very slow. 'Misa-Hoffman thought gymnastics very good for a class just before going to read Prof. Yates A thorough under standing of what is meant is necessary to good reading. The meeting adjourned at 4 p. m., after a harmonious ana instructive - - . J.... T-f session. Much cream is uuc im. Yates for his efforts irr behalf of the institute. Many good idea3 were Drought out. ArHrW have been filed with the secretary of state incorporating the Aiilie, Toledo and jxasnviiie js is.., wifii Hhurles Kennedy, W. H. Rich, W. M. Toner, A. L. Porter, and C. B. Crosno, as incorporators, ine oujeci is to construct and. maintain a railroad from Airlie, Polk county, to a point on Rock creek, ill Benton county, viw, 000 is the amount of the capital stock, divided into that number of shares. Tn the case of Srtirle & Deane vs. the Oregon Pacific Railroad Company the taking of testimony was concluded at Portland-yesterday and the argu ment begun- As Messrs jjicannur, Bronough and Bryson appear for the defence, and Messrs. J. K. Weather, ford, Jos. Teal and J: H. Dickinson for; the plaintiffs, the argument will probably be lengthy, but will doubtless be concluded., and given to the jury to-day. S. TV Jeffreys is at. Salem in the interest of the new Corvallis charter. COLLEGE MATTERS. Ed. Gazette: According to notice given, a meeting of Willamette Grange was held in their hall in Willamette precinct, January 15th, for the purpose of discussing college matters. Profs. Letch sr and French were present by invitation from the grange to answer any questions regarding the manage ment and workings of the college. Prof. E. Grimm was also present by invitation to discuss matters pertaining to the college. Major Bruce was chosen chairman of the meeting, which was called to order with about twenty present, a few came later. The chairman pro ci'cdcd to call for the object of the meeting. Several communications were reported and there being no ob jection they were read. The first was from the Secretary of the Hoard of Regents in which he stated that they (Messrs. Nash' and Cauthorn) were unable to be present; but that they would be pleased to have a committee appointed by Willamette Grange to investigate the books and accounts of the college or any other feature of the institution. The next letter was from Mrs. II. E. Hayes addressed to the members of Willamette Grange. In this communication Mrs. H. gave her own views regarding the institution which were based upon a visit of ten days to the college; and those which she believed to be the views of Mr, Hayes upon the matter. This was made in the absence of Mr. H. to . i.' i ji whom certain resolutions iwa ubbh referred from Willamette Grange. Mrs H spoke in very high terms ot the college and its management and be heved it was worthy of and merited the hearty support of the farmers of the stnfft Ar. the close of the letter the meeting was adjourned until after din uer. The dinner was furnished by the ladies present and fully sustained their reputation for .work of this kind. After dinner Prof. Grimm mad quite an extended discussion ot the disbursements of college and station funds; basing his grievance ou the assumption that the college had receiv ed the benefit of the station appropna tions. He endeavored to prove this by referring to the permanent improve ments and the salaries of the employes, upon which point he differed in opin- iou from the Board of Regents. The arguments were practically tire same as those which have been presented by him through the press and were based upon the erroneous assumption that the farm belongs to the college instead of to the station. Pmf T .etcher was called upon to make some explanations and said that the figures preseuted were simply Prof. Grimm's own views of the matter and that those presented by the Board of Regents were their view of the matter. He also called attention to the fact that the Board of Regents were the men appointed by the law to make this distribution of funds. Hence it resolved itself into a personal matter between the Board and Prof. Grimm, which Prof. G. afterward acknowledged and further stated he thought the col le"e was doing good work and was well worthy of the patronage of the people of the state. Prof. G. would further recommend the institution to all who are seeking an education, and that the school was the best in the state. Prof. French took no part in the discussion of the expenditure f the funds from the fact that a large portiou of the charges made by Prof. G. were prior to the time at which lie became connected with the institution. He simply referred to the work of other similar schools aud the present condi- tlnn i-f the Oregon Agricultural Col le"e. He stated that in no particular had he been led to think that the Uoard of Regents were not in perfect aympa thy with the best interests of the farm pi's of the state. Tn i-eKimnse to Questions from erao- oers present riot, urinim stated mm hft a5 satisfied that tue institution naa full value for every dollar expended as- shown m the accounts; but only objected to tne jxiaras mem- . . . t T JJ il. od of distributing tlie Kinds. DANGER. P VV Wilson. Writ. Mackay and M. P. Burnett went to Salem last Tuesday to attend a meeting of the county derks, sheriffs and treasurers ot tins different counties, who assemoiea in that city for the purpose of making i ti,o,'r u.nits ancl to see that thev ItUUWIS L 1 1 .........
