Gilbert, formerly of Philomath college, has received an unanimous call to the paitoratu of the Presbyterian church in Eugene, where lie has been preach ing for some time and will be installed next Sabbath the 21s. The Presbytery have appointed Dr. Thompson of this city to preach the sermon on that occasion. Tuesday evening a number of young boys ware seen on the streets under the influence of liquor.

A very interesting program ' has been pre pared fur the occasion and all are invited to be present. The Presbytery of Willamstte at the re cent meeting in Dallas elected fi. J,' Thomp son, of this city, and Prof. YV. A. Lee, of Albauy college, commissioners to the gen eral assembly of the Presbyterian church which meets iu Pittsburg, Pa., on the 16th of May. This is not only a high honor, but a great privilege, as the assembly pays all expenses inclined by the time spent and the journey taken. Leo Fox and wife visited the family of M. Jacobs, Monday. Mr. Fox will bo re membered by old Corvallisites as a member of the firm of Fox Brothers that conducted the leading merchantile business of this county during the early history of Corvallis. After accumulating quite a fortune, he left some 25 years ago for Chicago, where he became identified with the banking interests and recently retired a wealthy man. Ac companied by his wife, Mr. Fox is now malt ing au extended tour of the coast. V. E. Paul and daughter bid their friends iu Corvallis farewell last Tuesday, and started for Dover, N. H-, where they expect to reside in the future. Corvallis will miss them sadly and they leave behind warm friends who wish them prosperity and happiness in their new home. Mr. Paul has been au active and useful citizen of Corvallis for about fifteen years. Ellsworth Post, G. A. R., of which Mr. Paul is a' member, and the W. R. C. tendered him a reception last week, which gave the mem bers an opportunity to testify to their ap preciation of their departing comrade and bid him God-speed. Invitations are out for the wedding of Miss Susie Blake and Mr. El ward C. Crys tal, on the 24th inst as the Christian church in' Vacaville, California, This item will probably not be an especially pleasing bit of news to several of El's lady friends residing in Benton county, where he was known to be one of the best fellows in the world. Prior to his departure for California he was one of the leading members of the Corvallis bachelor club, and that he should forget his vows and allegiance to the order to such an extent as to become a benedict is a matter of great surprise to the club's members. However, after due consideration of the case at a special meeting of the club, called for the purpose of investigating the matter, it was finally decided that he was outside the jurisdiction of the order and, therefore, no penalty could be imposed. Still, resolu tions condemning his course and expressing sympathy for him in the future were uuani mously passed. While a resident of Corval lis, Mr. Crystal earned for himself an envi able reputation as an energetic, prompt and reliable business man. To these qualifica tions is no doubt due the splendid success with which he is said to have met since re siding in Vacaville, where, with his brother, he is interested in an extensive merchantile enterprise. The Gazette extends congratu lations, and hopes that the numerous little Crystals which comiDg years will cluster around the original gems will but add bril liancy to their lustre. Stocks have a good desk, also some chairs to sell very low. HOLY EASTER SABBATH. The Day Is Appropriately Ob served in Corvallis. Appropriate Easter services were held last Sabbath in all the various churches of Corvallis. Each house of worship was pro fusely decorated with choice potted plants, cut flowers and wild flowers, and many of the pulpits were enveloped in a perfect b iwer of beauty and fragrance. At the Presbyterian uhilruh the decora tions were especially noticeable ou account of tneir artistic arrangement. The edifice was well filled both morning aud - evening. The service of the morning had beeu arrange ed'espevially for the occasion by the Presby terian board of publication, aud consisted of readiugs and a great deal of music. Dr. Thompson gave a short talk on the resur rection of the Savior and the lessons to be learned from the general observance of the day. Iu the evening a leading feature of the service was the reading of an original poem by the doctor, which had beeu pre pared the day previous, the thought express ed in the poem having been suggested by the motto, "He is Risen." At both the morning aud evening services the musical program was most artistically rendered. Owing to the illness of the pastor, Rev. Zercher, no service was held at the Congre gational church Easter morning. However, much pains had been taken iu the arrange ment of the decorations, and in the evening the young people rendered an excellent literary aud musical program, under the direction of Prof. H. T. French. Rev. Dorward preached a resurrection sermon at the Baptist church to a large con gregation iu the forenoon. In tho evening the young people's society had the manage ment of the service, a pleasing feature of vbich was a reading by Miss Hurley. Here, as at the other temples of worship, the dec orations and floral desigus were artistic aud elaborate. At the Catholic church especial interest was taken this year in the arrangement of the floral offerings. The altar was very profusely decorated w ith cut flowers aud potted plants. The services, conducted by Father Severenus, were very impressive. High mass was celebrated at 10:30, aud iu the evening vesper services were held. The services at the Christian church Sun da' were uf unusual interest. No time nor pains had beeu spared in making the deco rations which were most handsomely arranged. Sermons were preached both morning and evening by the pastor. Rev. F. A. Powell, and the music on both occasions was appropriate and exceedingly well ren dered. The Evangelical church was closed during the morning hour owing to the absence of the pastor, Rev. Burl in game at Snver, where an elaborate Easter program was rendered by the Sunday school, and where Mr. Burliugame preached a very impressive sermon on the resurrection. In the evening he occupied bis pulpit in this city and con ducted au Easter service' which was- largely attended. No less pains had been taken by members of the Methodist church to make their edi fice attractive by the presence of flowers and other appropriate decorations, than w, s displayed by members of the other, denom-' inations. The services of both morning and eveuiug weie well attended, and a large choir under the efficient leadership of Mrs. Hiram Gould, rendered several Easter selec tions iu splendid style,. Rev. Gould preached at both services' and was atten tively listened to by all. Rev. P. A. Moses also preached to a large congregation both morning and evening. The ladies of the cluirclv had devoted con siderable time to the arrangement of floral decorations, and as a result of their labor the interior of the edifice presented a very attractive appearance. The preparations for the Easter services in the Episcopal church were very com plete. Beautiful ferns, lilies, and roses, set in a background of moss, formed the prin cipal decorations. The services were very appropriate to the occasion, special Easter hymns, anthems, etc., being song. The Sunday school children received Easier eggs to commemorate the day. The con tributions by the children, which are to be devoted to home missions, amounted to 25. An Easter day reception was held at the residence of the rector on Monday evening. The members of the congregation paid their respects to Mr. and Mrs. Plummer, and were splendidly entertained. TO BE CONGRATULATED. Editor Gazette: It was my privilege to be present and enjoy the Easter exercises at the Presbyterian church last Sabbath morning. Allow me, through the columns of your paper, to express the great pleasure I had in being present. The beautiful dec orations, the most excellent music, and the very appropriate and interesting Easter service, all conspired to make the occasion one of special interest. The superior music under the skillful management of Mrs. F. M. Johnson, was greatly enjoyed by the large audience present, and the design and arrangement of the floral display under the wise direction of Mrs. W. A. Wells, assisted by Miss Collins and others, were appreciated by all. In the evening the church was full and the exercises were no les3 interesting and enjoyable with the orchestra and the young man's quartette assisting the choir, the music was very fine. The pastor and cougregation of thisrehnrch are certainly to be congratulated on the success of their efforts on Easter Sabbath. Com, Poor Indeed. Tbe prospect of relief from drastic cathar tics for persons troubled with constipation is poor indeed. True they act upon the bowels, but this they do with violence, and their operation tends to weaken the intestines, and is prejudicial to the stomach. Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters is an effectual laxative but it neither gripes nor enfeebles. Furth ermore, it promotes digestion and a regular action of the liver and the kidneys. It is an efficient barrier against and remedy for malarial complaints and rheumatism, and is of great benefit to the weak, nervous and aged. As a medicinal stimulant it cannot be surpassed. Physicians cordially recom mend it, and its professional indorsement is fully borne out by popular experience. Ap petite and sleep are both improved by this agreeable invigorant and alterative. THE OREGON CENTRA & EASTERN INCORPORATED. Last Saturday articles of incorporation of the Oregon Central & Eastern Railroad Co. were filed. Its incorporators are A. B. Hammond, Edwin Stone, and Chas. Clark, Its objects are to build, and operate rail road, telegraph and telephone lines from Yaquina Bay to the eastern boundary of the state, thence to Boise City, and also branch lines, one between Corvallis and Engeuc and the other from or neat Albany to Salem; to operate steamship lines from Yaquina and other euastwho points to Sail Francisco, and steamboat lines on the Wil lamette and Snake rWers. However, the principal object of the new corporation is te purchase aud acquire possession of the prop erty and franchises of the Oregon Pacific, which were sold last December at sheriff's sale to Messrs. Bonner & Hammond, as since that time the road has really beea operated by the purchasers as individuals. The capital stock of tbe corporation is fixed at 3,000,000, and Corvallis is named as the principal place of business.. Immediately after filing the incorporation papeia the incorporators met and effected an organization by choosing A. B. Hammond president, Edwin Stone vice-president, and Chas. Clark treasurer. By the new order of things Mr. Stone becomes manager of the company, and Mr. CUrk its superin tendent. Although not clothed with au official title, the former gentleman has vir tually been the manager for the purchasers of the road since tho property came into their possession last December. Mr. Stone is au old friend and former business associ ate of Mr. Hammond, and during the past dozen years has filled several important and responsible positions with railroad compa nies of the Northwest. Mr. Clark, the new company's superintendent, is well known here as an accommodating aud capa ble official. During the past he has served the Oregon Pacific in various capacities with credit to himself aud satisfaction to bis employers. This is especially true of his management of the road's affairs daring tho last twelve mouths that it was in tho hands of the court, duriug which period Mr. Clark acted as its receiver. His appointment to the snperintendeticy is a deserved recogni tion of fiis ability, and will give general satisfaction. No changes are to be made in the personnel of employes for the present at least, and pending the decision iu the appeal matter the affairs of the road will be man aged iu much the same manner as they have been during the past lew mouths. ARBOR DAY EXERCISES. Although no special Arbor Day exercises had beeu seut out from the office of tho state superintendent of public instruction, as has been customary in the past, the day was observed by the public schools of Cor vallis with appropriate exercises, which bad been arranged nuder the direction of the teachers.

Captain Hatch, in charge of the boat, says the chan nel is in excellent condition, and all snags, some two or three, will be removed on the trip down. He is here to have a broken capstan repaired by the Eugene foundry. He informs us that the river is at an excel lent boating stage, altheugh the river regis ters only 4J feet above low water mark, while two years ago it would have been im possible for a steamer to have come hers on such a stage of water. In fact he says, the snag boat never struck bottom between here and Harrisbnrg. He thinks at three places a row of short piling should be driven to confine the water at a low stage. Eugene Gjard.
