ON THE DIAMOND.
The game of' base ball which was to have
been played some time ago between the
clerks and the employees in the O. P. office.
aud which was postponed on account of bad
weather, was played last Friday and re
sulted in a victory for the-O. P. boys by a
score of 17 to 13. The came was well
played, considering that neither club had
not practiced any previously. It is rumored
that the clerks waut satisfaction and will
play another game in the near future;
The boat hands and a picked nine played
a match game at the ball grounds Sunday,
and the deck hands were beaten by a score
of 23 to 16. No expert playing was exhibit
ed on either side.
The game at Salem Saturday and Sun
day between the Salem and Albany teams,
proved to be a very uneven game. The Al
bany team can play favorably with clubs in
small towns and boast of their superiority,
but when it comes to playing with the -"pro-fesh"
they are not in it. Saturday the score
stood 16 to 0 in favor of -the Salem boys.
The Albany boys were not discouraged at
this, however,, and resolved to play them
again Sunday,, which they did, and were
again defeated by score of 43 to 6. Better
take ia-your sign, Albany.
A Pleasant Party. Friday evening was
the time, from nine until one the hours,
aud the residence of Mr. aud Mrs. John
Smith the place,, that one of the most pleas
ant parties that the society loving people of
Corvallis were ever permitted to enjoy was
givem This was given in honor of Mrs.
Kirkpatrick of San Francisco, Mrs. W. H.
Lersh of Portland, and Miss Lulu Smith,
daughter of the host and hostess, lately re
turned home from Oakland-, California, and
a graduate of Mills Seminary. The par
lors of the Smith mansion, were beau
tifully and tastefully decorated. After a
short sea?ou of social conversation the- guests
participated in the grand march to the
strains of the Arion Orchestra, after which
dancing was enjoyed the remainder of the
evening dispersed with instrumental and
vocal selections and recitations. Under the
former Miss Lou Wiles performed with
credit to herself and to the entertainment
of her hearers. Mrs. B. L. Arnold sang a
solo in her usual charming manner which
was encored. Miss Leou Louie recited
"Only Joe," with force aud feeling. Miss
Maud Hoffman read a selection from Romeo
and Juliet, which was well received. The
lunch prepared under the direction of the
hostess aud the ice cream fresh from Schloe
man's could not have failed to please the
palate of the most fastidious. The hours
passed quickly by, aud when it came time
for leaving there were none of the guests
but would have agreed with the fair young
lady who remarked "isn't it too bad that a
nice time like this must come to an end.'
Mrs. Smith who has the reputation of know
ing just how to entertain, fully sustained

A Vetera: Fire Engine. The veteran
and exempt firemen and their wives of San
Francisco, numbering in all over one hun
dred, are now holding a reunion iu Portland
which commenced Tuesday and will con
tinue until to-morrow. The firemen of San
Francisco now own the Monumental Big Six
tire engine which at one time was owned by
Corvallis. This engine was built in 1856
for Virginia City, Nevada, and at a time
when gold was plentiful. The engine was
built regardless of cost and with the object
in view of making it the finest engine on the
coast. After serving for several years in
Virginia City it was sold to San Francisco,
being one of the first engines used in that
city, where it served for many years, but
was finally crowded out of use by modern
improvements. It was then purchased by
the citizens of Corvallis, and did good work,
but as it required the combined efforts of
every man in town to operate it, it was
never very popular, and was stored away
in an old shed near the river for many years.
Upon hearing that the engene had been dis
carded the firemen of San Francisco offered
$100 for it which was gladly accepted. It
was shipped by the steamer Yaquina
City, and was greeted with much enthusi
asm by the firemen who had operated it iu
the early days and who resolved to have it
overhauled and keep it as a relic. At the
repair shops . it was discovered that the
plates bearing her name and several orna
ments were made of gold and valued at $300
or more. Thus ends another chapter iu the
history of Big Six.
Bite Like Fish. All a stranger has to
d is to stand in the street and deliver a
Howry harangue to sell all the cheap Johu
articles he can pack in a valise. The rapid
ity with which they fly is astonishing.
Sometimes, though, the purchaser gets con
siderable substance, the fact is though,
never without paying an enormous percent
age on the value of the article, for they are
universally of a cheap order, made to sell on
"snaps." Saturday night two of these oily
tongued street fakirs placed a dry goods box
in the street opposite the Occidental hotel,
piled an old dilapidated trunk, filled with
cheap, refuse, and in a few minutes had
the usual crowd of suckers gathered about
with open mouths ready to swallow the bait.
They sold four papers of pins for ten centr,
which went as fast as could be handed out
for some time. This was simply a bait,
thrown out to catch larger fish, and when
they went down into the bottom of their
carpet-bag aud drew out a sheep-skin purse,
placed therein' a pair of gold cuff buttons, a
diamond pin, a gold ring, and wound about
all this a fine gold locket and chaio, why,
the circus bad just opened and the sucker
of suckers was fairly in it. This is the
kind of worthless trash that used to be
used in swindling th3 Indians with, but
since they have became civilized the fakir
finds it necessary to dupe the lower classes
of the white population. The city council
should protect those who do not know
enough to protect themselves, by imposing
such a license upon this class of peddlers as
will make it impossible for them-to sell
their wares in our -city.. The- license is now
510 per day, wake it $25.

A Valuable Horse Lost. Last Tues
day while H. F. Fischer of the Corvallis
Flouring Mills was plowing in his garden
on the river bauk, his horse became fright
ened at some boys who were in switning
and ran away. During the run the sharp
edge of the plow struck the horse in the
hind leg, nearly severing it, rendering the
animal worthless, aud to put it out of misery
Mr. Fisher killed it. It was a fine black
animal aud was valued at $300.
Testing a New Lamp. The electric light
company received a 2000 candle power arc
lamp this week. The lamp is a late inven
tion, the power for lighting ic being furnish
ed by au incandesceut light dynamo and al
ternating current. Besides the incandes
cent lights furnished by the company's
dynamo, there is power enough to run 25
of these arc lights. They are testing this
lamp with the intention of introducing the
arc lights in this city. The lamp works
very satisfactory and gives a very brilliant
light.
Merit Wins.
We desire to say to our citizens, that for
years we have been selling Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King's
New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve aud
Electric Bitters, and have never handled
remedies that sell as well, or that have giv
en such universal satisfaction. We do not
hesitate to guarantee them every time, and
we stand ready to refund the purchase price
if satisfactory results do not follow their
use. These remedies have won their great
popularity purely on their merit3. Thus.
Graham druggist.
Wild Blackberries Plentiful. This
is One of the grandest wild fruit seasons
Oregon has known; and the luscious wild
blackberry is larger and more abundant
than ever before. In the woods near this
city one can fill a gallon bncket in a very
short time. M ore especially is this the case
just across the river in Benton county
where these berries are ripening very fast.
It will probably be about two weeks before
they will ripen back in the mountains.
