Fakirs have been numerous in the city during the past week, there be ing among them a phrenologist, a corn doctor, a street preacher, a stove pol ish neddler and a swarm of book agents. The M. E. church, held its regular quarterly meeting m this city last Sat urday. Rev. John Parsons, of Sa- Jem, presiding elder of this district pre sided at the meeting and also con ducted the Sunday services. Yesterday Mr. J. T. Phillips for warded by express a pair of fine Chi nese pbeasants to his brother, Dr. A. J.

Posters have been issued and are being posted in the different precincts of "the county, announcing, the presi dential election, which is to occur on the 8th day of November, being the first Monday after the first Tuesday of that month. W. F. Martin, the boy preacher who was mentioned in these colnmns last week as being unworthy of support.com mitted suicide at Albany on Saturday. He bad met with poor success in his attempts at street preaching and put an end to his existance in a fit of men tal depression. Wm. Abernethy, a student at the college, while climbling to the top of the water tower at the college Sunday, missed his footing and fell down the upper flight of steps, breaking his nose in the operation. Dr. Applewhite re duced the fracture. T. H. Merancia, proprietor of the Pioneer house, of Albany, has re cently remodeled and refitted that hostelry and will make a specialty of weekly board and lodging.

If not, step in and take a look at them, and while there inspect their stock of furniture, wall paper, window shades. They have just received a splendid supply of picture frames, and will be glad to entertain you by showing you through their establishment. Any of our readers who contem plate making purchases would do well to perose our advertising columns as well as the news columns. Several of our merchants have received heavy stocks of goods this fall and their an nouncements appear in this issue. When you wish to make a purchase of any kind it will be to your advantage to go to a firm which advertises. A traveling street preacher, wearing an elongated crop of hirsute matter, has been holding forth on the streets daring the evenings of the past week, warning all to prepare for the wrath to come, which, according to his reck oning, will be in a: very short time. Everybody is warned to prepare for dissolution, which is to visit this world in about three and one-half years. We haven't any doubt that the man is thoroughly sincera in his harangue, but we doubt if he makes many converts in ibis city, for unbe liever are notoriously" hard to con Incer . THE "HOOKS." The hook and ladder company of this city is an organization of which any city might well feel proud. To be always doing something to advance the best interests of not only their own company but the entire department has ever been their motto. A scheme to celebrate Discovery day in an appropriate manner was con ceived by a few of its members, and on being brought up at a meeting met with the hearty approval of all. I he idea was to give a reception to the city council, the fire department, the ladi s' coffee club and exempt firemen, to gether with their ladies and escorts, with the primary object of more firmly uuiting tlie different branches of the fire department and establishing a bond of sympathy between them and the city council They wish the peo ple to recognize that there is such an organization in Corvallis as the hook and ladder company, and realize what they are endeavoring to do; that it is but ona branch of an organization with a most noble aim, protecting the property of all citizens alike, members or not. In the palmy days of Corval lis the fire companies were "the peo ple," but of later years they seem to have fallen out of the minds of the citizens, not only to be neglected, but to be almost forgotten. The reception will be given in the company's elegant hall on the evening of October 21st. Guests will he en tertained with a carefully prepared program of a literary natm e, consist ing of short addresses and toasts com memorativo of both Columbus and the day he run aground on Cat island. The committee have prevailed on some of the best musical talent to assist with the program and their siren voices will be mingled with those of the silver tongued orators, procured at an enor mous expense to orate on this auspi cious occasion. The company hope to make this but the pi elude to a grand ball that will be given on the evening of December 23d. The committee has assured the Gazette that the ball will eclipse any party ever given in Corvallis, and at this time all disciples of Terpsichore will be given an oppor tunity to worship at the shrine of their much adored muse, to their "soles" content. This is a worthy cause and deserves the patronage of the en tire community. Prichard Hopkins Nuptials. The following, from the -Albany Her ald, will be of interest to many in this city, to whom the contracting parties are well known, and who join their Albany friends in good wishes for their future welfare: "The marriage of Rev. E. R. Prichard and Miss'Frankie Hopkins was performed yesterday at 11 a. m., at the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. C. E. Brownell in this city, by Rev. E. J. Thompson, of Corvallis, assisted by Rev. E. N. Condit. The wedding was a quiet one, only ' i-ela-tives of the bride and groom being present. Mr. Prichard is pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city, and one of Albany's most popular ministers, while the bride is one of this city's accomplished young ladies. Mr. and Mrs. Prichard left for a bridal tour to Portland, and the cities of the sound. They have the best wishes of a wide circle of friends." Nancy HakksAgain. Last Wed nesday the now world-renowned Nancy Hanks was driven on the regu lation track at Terre Haute, Ind., to beat her own record of 2:07, which she did handsomely by three seconds, making the mile in just 2:04. This feat was beyond any ever before done in harness. The first quarter whs made in :31, the half in l:02f and the third quarter in :29p- By this feat, Bud Doble gets the $5000 prze offered by Robert Bonner to the driver of any horse that went in 2:05 on a regulation track. A Tile Factory. Efforts are being made in this city to organize a com pany to establish a tile factory here. An enterprise of this kind is deserving of encouragement and success, as there is a broad field for the use of its pro ductions. There is a large area of land in this vicinity which at present would be greatly enhanced in value if properly drained, and would well repay the outlay and reclaim a large amount of unprofitable property. As our readers already know.the 21st of October has been made a legal holi day, and at that time the public schools of this city have prepared an excellent programme, and will celebrate the oc casion in a fitting manner. We would suggest that ft would be a good plan for our merchants and other business men to unite in this to the extent of of assisting in the proper observance of the day, by taking part in the exer cises. C. N. Simmons, Doe. Kiger and party returned Tuesday from Elk city, near which place they have been spending a week or ten days hunting and fishing. They caught a large number of fish and killed many birds, besides bringing home two deer, we can truthfully say the latter were fine, as we had the priyilige of sampling a generous portion xf one, and pro nounce it the finest venison we ever ate. Wedding. Mr. up from Corvallis Ray Frank came Monday "dressed in his best suit of clothes," and it is re liably reported that before returning he will be wedded to Miss Minnie Si mon, of this city, and that the mar riage ceremony will be performed to night. Mr. Frank was formerly a res ident of this city, but is now conduct ing a racket store in . Corvallis. Eu gene Register- Cotton in Oregon. W. J. Will banks brought into our office the first of the week a stalk of the cotton plant which he raised in his garden in this city which is, so far as we know, the first cotton ever raised in this state that matured sufficiently to bloom. The specimen shown us was two feet, eiirht inches high, and contained one fully opened blossom and several buds. Mr. Willbanks informs us that he has a number of the plants now in his garden, where they can be seen by all who desire. He procured the seed during his visit in Mississippi last win ter and planted them about the first of May, iust to see what Oregon could do in the way of cotton raising, The nights in this region, how. ver, are not warm enough to bring the plant to full Derfection: still, it shows that it will grow here. Another Large Orchard. Last fall Mr. ITorsfall, a capitalist from New York, arrive-1 in Corvallis for the pur pose of engaging in fruit raising some where in Oregon. He was so well pleased with the country surrounding Corvallis that he purchased a tract of 500 acres of land suitable tor the purpose near Philomath from E. Woodward, of this city, in behalf of himself and a friend, a Mr. Wilson, also of New York. Mr. Horsfall remained on the place and has been busily engaged during the past winter and summer clearing the ground and nrenaring it to be set out in fruit trees this fall. Mr. Wilson, the part ner, aniyed this week and is greatly pleased with their purchase. They ex pect to and no doubt when they get this magnificent body of land set out to trees, will have have one of the finest orchards in the state. Finger Shot Off. Harry Archer and one or two ot his friends were at Wm. Kyle's place in Linn county last Saturday. They had with them Winchester repeating shotgun, which was being passed around the group for examination. A cartridge had be come fast in the gun and Harry had given it to ona of his companions, who was trying to extrnct the shell, when the gun was discharged, the load carrying away the little finger of Archer's left hand as it was held at his side and inflicting a flesh wound on his leg. The injury to the leg wps not serious, but the finger was torn entirely off. The injured man wns brought to town where his wounds were dressed by Dr. Farra; he is now doing well and will probably suffer nothing more from the accident. To be Sold. The hull and ma chinery of the river steamer R. C. Young, which was burned at Dove's landing some time since, will be sold to satisfy claims against the boat by Albert Kemp, engineer, and C. A. Ca rey, pilot, and a number of others for labor and supplies furnished. They recently served an attachment on the boat in the United States court and were grunted judgment for $650 and costs of suit, and what remains of the boat will be sold on Thursday, Oct. 6th, to satisfy this claim. The ma chinery, although considerably injured by the tire, can yet be used after be ing overhauled. It is now lying in the river opposite Dove's landing. Rev. E. R. Prichard and bride, of Albany, have returned from their tour of the cities of the sound, and are now the guests of Rev. E. J. Thompson, of this city. During their absence they visited the Tacoma exposition which Mr. Prichard considers even superior to the Portland exposition, especially the music, which is supplied by Cap- pa s band. The exhibits of fruits and vegetables, too, were better than those in Portland, and will be taken to the world's fair after the the close of the exposition.
