The Cumberland Presbyterian as sembly which has just Guished a ses sion at Little Rock, Ark., selected Eugene j City, a3 the next place of meeting.

Haskins, ' formerly agent at Portland for the Benton county flour ing mill, and who was recently brought back from Missouri, went to trial at Portland last Friday on a charge of ap propriating soma $2700 worth of wheat belona'ms to the mill. At the conclu sion of the trial the jury retired and in .fifteen minutes returned a verdict of not guilty. On Monday Messrs. Seol and Voigt devised ' a contrivance on which to stand while painting about the outside of the third story of the Occidental ho tel. Some part of the rigging gave vway, and Mr.. Seol fell to the ground, sustaining severe injuries. Fortunate 1y Mr. Voigt was able to cling to the ropes until assistance arrived.

Everybody invited to be present with well-filled baskets. The Corbett excursion train to Al bany on Saturday evening conveyed a large number ? from this city and points, between here and the bay. The leading attraction was the person ality of the champion pugilist, and it did not count for much that the play, in which he was the leading actor, was mutillated and abbreviated to such an extent that it was unintelligible.

THE 4TH-OF-JULY AGAIN. Scarcely have the spring rains ceased when evidence of an approaching fourth of- July appear. To many people the frequent recurrence of this dayis a little wearisome, and they ob serve it much in the same spirit that Will Thayer issued his thanksgiving proclamation, in accordance with a long established custom. Ilaml bills are out announcing that a public meeting is to be held in the court house tills evening, the object of which is to make initiatoiy arrange ments for celebrating the coming 4th of July in a becoming manner in the city of Corvallis. The notice calls upon everybody to turn out and take an interest in the meeting, and is .signed "Many Citizens." This is the usual form, but who has ever known of everybody turning out or of there being any marked degree of interest taken in one of these preliminary meetings. They are almost alwa8 disappointments to those who start the movement (or a celebration. In the busy otcupations of this day, and the physical andjnentd strain for practi cal and tangible results, it may not be expected that many persons will give more than oue day in each yea r to the commemoration of an event of more than a century ago. Therefore, should there be a sinad turnout this evening, it will not be an omen of the dual result of these efforts, for we shall join you in -force on the 4th. The work of arranging for a celebra-: tion and the annoying incidents, there to always fall upon a few and this is one of the causes which make for the unwelcome approach of the 4th. However, it may be presumed that the movers in these matters obtain recom pense in one way or another. MEMORIAL EXERCISES. Ellsworth Post, G. A. R. and Ells worth W. R. C. will attend union ser vices at the Presbyterian church, May 28th. Rev. W. C. Kantner will deliv er the memorial sermon, and other ministers of the city are to assist in the service.

Record: We wiah, in more than the usual card of thanks, to extras? our gratitude to frienda in a distant state and in our own, who were unremitting in their kindness to our departed liuubaud and brother, C. L. Hoard. Especially do we feel grateful to J. A. Gibheard and family, of Corvallis, Oregon, at whose home his last days were' Bpvnt und who could have done no more for their own brother. Barn. urn Lodge, I. O. O. F., of Corvallis, did all that fraternal duty aud hearts of kindness could prompt. Other friends also, both hero and in Corvallis, were kind and help ful and . have o ur sincere gratitude.. In these expressions of thankfulness, the only surviving daughter and all of the relatives join. Mrs. Sarah Hoard, Mr-i. Lydia HATcn, F. E. Hoard. Miss ijena iJriggs returned trom a protracted visit with the family of her uncle at Canyonville in Douglas county. She speaks in high praise of the hospjtalilyof the little town which was at one time an important trading" point on the California stage route. The railroad left it to one side and its business has since languished, but the development of the mining industry in its vicinity promises to renew its prosperity. Miss Lena regretted to forego the strawberries and cream, the season for which had been ushered in before her departure for - home. This paper does not suppress news such as pertains to the confiscation of Benton county's school fund. If other papers desire to do so their readers may obtain relief by subscribing for the Gazette. When attempts are made to wrest from the. school children of this county the means of obtaining an an education, it is time lor .the news paers and every other representative of the people's rights to "brandish torn mahawks," and, if need be, put on the war paint. , - , The Indian war veterans camp No. 5 will meet at the court house at 1 o'clock, on the 29th inst to elect dele gates to the grand encampment and officers for theensiiing year.

Yesterday morning at alxiut 5 a. m. a disturbance occurred in the Chinese lodging house adjoining Mr. Schmeer's livery stable, says Tuesday's Albany Herald, and a Chinawoman was found in front of the stable fearfully slashtd with a knife and bleeding profusely. Investigation elicited the facts, that the cutting was done by Hum Gjw, the ' big Chinaman well known for years in Albany as u liv. n. Ihe woman's .-name was Sue Hung, who came but recently from Salem. Some altercation arose and Hum Gow attacked her with a dagger knife. Goon Hin, the proprietor of the house, interfered, and was fearfully cut and stabbed. One cut entered the lungs and another laid open his abdomen so that the intestines pro truded. There were several other wounds of a serious nature. The woman also received cuts in the breast and abdomen, and one slash acress the wrist nearly serving the muscle. Dr. W. II. Davis was called and dressed the wounds. The witnesses to the affair were Hung Lung and Jue Back, two China men. Goon Hin received seven distinct wounds, the one penetrating the lungs it is feared will prove fatal. The woman, Sue Hung, who claims to have a husband in Salem was stabbed six times. Sullivan, or Hum Gow, was given an examination before Justice Curl. He claims that he was quietly sleeping and was attacked by the woman with the knife and Goon Hin with a rod of iron, and that he snatched the knife from the woman and fought his way out and ran to the jail tor protection, fearing that they would kill him. He was held without bail pending the re sult of the wounds he had inflicted, and two witnesses were held under $150 bonds each, which they were en deavoring to secure. FOUND AT LAST. Wednesday afternoon one of the em ployeB of the woolen mill, Mr. Chas. Younger, saw some object in the river which he took to be a floating body, and thinking of the lost Carey Craw ford, for whom everybody had been most anxiously watching, a boat was procured and the object followed up, and found to be as conjectured, the body of Carey Crawford, who fell m the river at Corvallis on the 8th inst. The coro ner was summoned and the body re moved to the undertaking rooms of Fortmiller & Irving, where an inquest was held and the following verdict ren dered: Albany, May 24, 1893. -. Wc, the jury empaneled to inquire into the death of Mr. Carey Crawford, find that he came to his death on the 8th day of May at Corvallis, Oi egor by falling off of the whirf at that place and being drowned. We further find by the evidence that there . was not the necessary ' precaution taken ' by the steamboat company in preventing acci dents. David Link, O. W. Waeren, N. A. W. IilSLEY, John N. Hoffman, T. I Draw, A. Stbaney. Mr. J. G. Crawford, father of Carey, bad gone down the river on the Steam boat looking for the body. He was telegraphed to at Salem and returned on the local. Albany Herald. The funeral was held Thursday from the undertaking rooms at 2:30 p.m., and was conducted by the fire depart ment, of which he was an honored member. The Gazette is in receipt of compli ments of the Oregon Breeding and Speed association, which will hold its second annual spring meeting at the Salem fair grounds July i, 5, 6 and 7, 1893. A very interesting program has been arranged. The secretary, F. N. Derby, Salem, will take pleasure in re plying to any and all communications with reference to transportation, track facilities, and desired information.

An excursion will be run at that date and a lante number of students will probably attend the performance. Mrs. .John Smith paid the college a brief a call few days ago on a visit to her son Joe. The new lawn mower has proyen a great success, with the aid ot a horse about twelve times as much work can be done with it as with an ordinary hand-mower. Misses Lawrence and Samuels, two of the senior young ladies, intend pay ing Portland a visit Friday, returning Monday. . II. B. Luce, state food commissioner and Prof. Lotz, station -chemist at the college, were among out calh'M on Wednesday. Air. Luce was here to obtain the result of certain food analy ses made at the college. In receu prosecutions for disposing of impure milk, Mr. Luce has met with opposi tion on the ground that the Babcock one of the testers used by the commis sioner, is not reliable, and chemical an aly,es were made by the chemist of the college to determine this point. The result is that Baboock tests are si- tained. TTio Chinaman's "Yellow Oath." . One of the strangest judicial proceed- Ins3 perhaps ever witnessed is that of the Chinaman taking what he is pleaeed to call tho "yellow oath." The ?oathw or declaration is always written on a piece of "sacred" paper, and is as fol lows: "This la to call the spirits, both good and evil, to descend and watch over the trial of , who- is charged with murdering . If I swear falsely and tell one tin truth, or do not make statements according to the facts in the case, I humbly beg the celestial , terres trial spirits to redress the wrong done to and to punish me immediately for having been a false witness; to ar rest my soul in its flight; to make me perish by the sword, or to cause me to die while on the sea far from borne. This is my true and solemn oath, ottered by my own hps, and signed by me this, the day of the month in the year of the reign of tho Emperor ; and in proof of the earnestness of my declarations, may my soul be de stroyed as I now destroy this paper by fire." Immediately after the witness finishes reading his "yellow oath" a lighted candle is handed to him, and the saner is tnven as food for the flames. To the writer's certain knowledge this form of oath has been administered but once in an American court of justice during the trial of Wong Ah Foo, who was accused of murdering Loi Ah Gou at San Francisco in 18S5. In China the candle used in this extraordinary cere monial is made from the fat of criminals who have undergone the death penalty. St. Louis Republic. . A Strange Feasting Custom." . There was a strange custom in the Isle of Lewi3, when the people used to gather to the church of. St. Molvay at night, each family bringing provisions, and each family furnishing a peck of malt, which was brewed into ale. One who was chosen for the purpose waded into the sea up to his middle and poured out a cup of ale, calling on a sea god called Shony to favor the people through the coming year. The people, after seeing the cere mony performed, returned to the church, and then went to the fields to spend the rest of the night in revelry. New York Tribune. does such perfect work.
