' " The City1 and Coanty.
' ' From Dotty of Wednesday May. 22.
City Library. We notice that Mr.
Knight i busily engaged in removing hit
cabinet it curiosities Into one of the rooms
in Gris wold's building. He intends to fur
nish the room in a tasteful manner, and at
. j an early day fire a public lecture for the
benefit of the library fund. The time u
not definite appointed, bat he thinks that
" it will be some evening daring the present
week. At that time he intend; to place a
liberal proportion before the citiiens of
Salea, and endeavor to take decisive steps
towarda the fonndation of a permanent Li
brary for the ase of the public. Mr. Knight
from purely philanthropic principle!, ii de
iiroui to inaugurate an institution of this
I . iiature, fully aware of the advantage it
would prove to the community. It has
, been a long needed enterprise, and aeveral
unsuccessful efforts have been made to
found something of the sort. But we now
,. feel eoafidedt that it has fallen into the
right bands, and if energy and liberality
will farther the cease, Mr. Knight will
prove successlul in bis undertaking. But
t we mutt not expect him to do it all. Money
Is needed ;-and he depends upon the liber
ality of our citizens to aid him in bis work
He is willing to do all in his power, and his
donation of time, trouble, and other matters
of a more substantial nature, make no small
item to start with. He is a gentleman too
well known for us to say aught in his be
half, bat we do earnestly urge upon our
j readers to assist him in his laudable enter
prise. We an informed that Syl. C. Simp
son has kindly consented to deliver his lec
tare on, " The Geneva Conference " in aid
of the Library.- Mr. Simpson delivered
this lecture before the Portland public a
few weeks since, and the press spoke of
in the highest terms. Should this lecture
be given we have no doubt that a consider
able sum can be realised, and the publio be
' well repaid for their expenditure of coin,
thus killing two birds with one stone. Let
as keep this thing moving until we have a
permanent City Library.
Ruxawat. Yesterday' while patiently
- waiting for something to turn up worthy of
notice we suddenly saw a dense cloud o
dust and heard the hurried sound of elash
ing hoofs and spinning wheels. Taking a
glass of soda to eool down our intense ex
citoment we hastened to the scene of action
and learned the following particulars :
- team belonging to J. F. Anderson, of How
ell's Prairie, standing bitched in front of
Wade's store, suddenly broke from their
fastening, and wheelingshurt around dashed
down the street They turned down a by
street and ran towards the gas factory
where they dashed toward a tree, which
proved to be of tougher material than they
were. On securing them it was ascertained
.. that the damage would not exceed a broken
! -neck yoke and an injured harness. They
were driven back to the store and started
for home as though nothing had happened.
Inmixs. 0. A. Brown has just returned
from Eugene City, where he has been eol
letting Indians belonging to the Sileti
Agency. These Indians bad become a pest
to the inhabitants of that city ana it was
their remonstrance that induced the expedi
tion of Mr. Brown. Some thirty or more
were eolleeted, bat will not be sent to the
Agency at present on account of the prev
aleee of small pox among the tribes there at
present.
Rr.BPiLBtw. We learn from a citizen of
Cervsllis, now here in attendance upon the
Odd Fellows' Grand Lodge, that building
has al.eady bugun or the burnt district of
Corvallis. The eititens of Corvallis have
always exhibited a commendable energy in
. this regard.
Meah. The Oregon Herald in alluding
to the project of building a bridge across
the Willamette river at this point takes oo-
cas ion to reflect disparagingly upon the en-
' terprise of Salem. What do yon think of

A Padfcr. Tester day a very old man,

Gateh, of the University, had an attack of

disposition has already passed away. .
. From Daily of Thursday May 23.
About to Leavb Us. Prof. Lowell L.
Rogers will leave.Salem to-morrow morning
to take tbe steamer for Sau Francisco,
thenee everland to his old home, Buffalo,
New York. He has received advantageous
. and flattering offers for a lucrative position
and much as be is attached to Oregon and
- the Willamette University, he feels that he
cannot reject them. Prof. Rogers is yet a
young man, bat in the two years he has
has . been among us he has given
indubitable evidence of superior quel
ifications for bis profession, and of tbe pos
session of such powers of mind as will
make their mark anon the world. He
elected two years ago to the chair of Nat
ural Science in the University, by the M
B. ' Conference ; he has for a part of the
time occupied a position in the Medical De
partment ; ha - has lectured at ' nearly
all the principal points in the State on Tem-
peranoe and oa scientific . or literary
subjects, with eminent success; for six
months after Father Wilbur left tbe pastor
ate of the M, E. Church, he supplied the
, vacancy, doing double duty ; and, in brief,
has always ciuploj ed his active and un-
. wearying energy, in promoting the several
' objects to which he long ago consecrated
his life. It may be long before his place
be filled, in the school and church ; and
tbe social circle out of which be goes will
always have its vacuum. Many, very
many, sincere friends will join in wishing
Dim a Tosperoiis continuance of a career
' ' so aaspicionsly began.
A Goon Joki. We yesterday heard a
little anecdote of one of oar prominent dry
goods merchants that is rather too good to
keep. Mr. B , as every one knows, is
quite a liberal individual, but in this case
' good nature was somewhat imposed opon
It seems that some time ago one of his
, country customers under promise of a nice
dress pattern agreed to name her youngest
born ftvter this liberal personage. Monday
the fonomotber appeared with his name
" lake In her arms, and he immediately cut
off a handsome dress pattern for the yonng-
ster. Tbe fond mother departed jubilant
. , orer her sncoesa, and meeting a lady friend
related tbe circumstance to her and a hap
py suggestion was made, which was imme
f " diatsly pot into execution. Tbe friend tak
, ing tbe ehild in her arms entered the store
and accosted Mr. B thnsly : ''You
' nave Just presented Mrs. 's child with
a handsome dress, and I wish yon would
use this namesake of yours in the same
way.'! ' feeling justly proud of his
popularity, immediately presented No. 2
(as bo supposed) with the coveted article
and not until some hours afterward did he
discover the fact that he had given tbe same
namesake two costly gifts. We understand
that the mother of the child will hereafter
patrouize B 's store exclusively.
' : Pjc.ho' at Ialla. Mr. Lewis informs
as that the Dallas 8abbath Schools eontem
plate holding a grand picnio at that plaee
Saturday next. It is intended to make it
tbe grandest occasion of the season. Splen
did vocal and instrumental aafi' have been
aucared. and various amusetM utl' will be

Mias Amelia Soriber will tc crowned as
Queen of the May, and will reigu supreme
Everybody is cordially invited to partici
pate in the festivities of, the day.. Quite a
uumber of Salem folks are intending to go
over and spend the day.
Somsthiko New. H. D. Boon, of this
city, received a letter from G. L. De Prans,
of Portland, last evening, regarding a pro- a
posed yisit to oar city of Miss Meblig, the
celebrated pianist, who is now en rears tn
Portland. He is of the opinion that she
would give one of her eoneerts here, pro
vided we can offer sufficient inducement,
owing to the fact that she is to remain in
Oregon about two works.- The Portlanders
have subscribed over $1,300 in tbe purchase
of tickets, and she will probably arrive on
the next steamer. Prompt action is noces- I
ssry in this matter, and we must work the
matter np lively. Subscription books will
be opened to-day, at the book stores of W.
D. Boon and Giil Steel. Price of tickets.
$1.50.
A Correction. Rev. Father Croquet,
Pastor at the Grand Ronde Reservation,
requests us to correct an error which ap
peared some days ago in our local columns,
in regard to the number of Catholics on the
Reservation. The statement was made
that tbe Catholics numbered about thirty or
forty half-breeds and ten or twelve Indians.
Our correspondent says, "There are over
fifty adult Indian Catholics, not to mention
their children, in regular attendance at Di
vine service; beside, nine-tenths of the
children of the balance have been baptised
in the Catholie church, and are brought np
in tbe Catholio faith."
Water ahd Gas Pifr. The Superin
tendent of the Salem Water Works (W. F.
Boothby, Esq.,) informs us that the Com
pany has secured the right to make their
own water pipes. They have purchased
machinery to manufacture the same, and
will receive it some time in June, and set it
immediately to work. These wooden pipes.
wrapped with iron bands and coated with
asphalt urn, now take the lead in the great
cities of the West, and are 'found able to
sustain pressure. The machinery will come
from Chicago, where this piping is almost
universally ia use.
Musical Unio.v. The Uood Templars
have invited Mr. Prentice, of this city, to
furnish musie for their celebration the com
ing Fourth of July. He will probably Uy
the proposition before tbe Union this even
ing, at which time it is to be hoped it will
meet with their favor. This will ensure tbe
best of vocal music for this grand a-air
which will add very materially to the en
tertainment of those who may participate.
Growling ix the Lower Regions. A
gentleman from the country informs us that
at an early hour yesterday morning while
on the road to the city, be beard a loud ex
plosive sound, the vibrations of which
lasted nearly one minute and resembled
distant thunder, although there was not a
cloud in sight. Tbe White Pine earth
quake may have just arrived or what is
more probable it may be that old Mother
Nature is affected with Uncle Sammy Al
len's complaint worms.
Fruit Killed. We learn from Uncle
Davy Newsom that most of the cherry
trees along the Pudding river valley are
killed by the heavy frosts of this spring
Other fruit prospects are also injured.
Nearly all small fruits are killed and apples
pears, peaches, etc., will be very scarce,
There are similar prospects on Howell's
Prairie. Indeed, there seems to be but a
poor prospect for fruit anywhere in this part
of the valley.
That s Aiothixq. An item appears in
yesterday's Oregoninn, giving an account I
of flower thieves who had entered some
gentleman's garden and picked a number
of valuable roses. But we can just dis
count that, and give such plaintiffs a few
points in tbe game, besides. Mr. Geo.
Holman's yard was entered a few nights
ago, and some choice flowers dug up, roots,
dirt and all. Had the hole been smaller
they would probably have taken that also,
and made the whole exploit an unparalleled

New Bram Bass. Prof. Francis in
forms as that he has organised a new Brass
Band, composed of yonng men of this city,
which gives fair promise. They now num
ber eight pieces, and we understand are
progressing remarkably well in their prac
tice.

In carriages, hacks, and omnibusaes, started
P.nu-.u ; ,
a atasM for the Penitentiary in response to
an invitation received from the Snp't of tbe
institution . Aoeepting a seat in the bnggy
of oar goed-looking friend Tom Reynolds,
we accompanied tbem to see the sightr. On
our arrival we were shown around with the
rest. About ninety conflicts were bnsily
engaged in their various occupations. Af
ter strolling around the grounds for about
au hoar we again entered oar vehicles and
started for the city. Having received an
invitation from the Faculty of the Willi
ctte University to visit the school the crowd
stopped there on their return. They were
warmly welcomed by Professors Gatch and
Powell, and escorted into the building, and
after being seated tbe scholars marched up
from their various departments. Some ex
cellent vocal mosio was then given in honor
of the occasion, and by unanimous request,
J. W. Whalley, of Portland, addressed the
students in a few well pointed and appro
priate remarks, fallowed by songs by the
school. Prof. T. H. Crawford, of Port
land, then made a few remarks, after which
the school again marched out. The Odd
Fellows then strolled through the building.
taking note of the excellent order and man-
. agement everywhere apparent. Quite a
number of them went up into the cupola
and viewed the city from that stand-point,
obtaining as fine a view as ean be found
at any point in the city. Leaving tbe
building in groups they finally arrived in
town, and as the hour was still early, many
of them visited tbe Water Works. Our vis
itors seem pleased with the general appear
ance of onr fair city, and their visit among
ns will no doubt prove a source of pleasure
to many of tbe Representatives.
From thb Cocjtbt. We were yesterday
talking with a gentleman who has traveled
extensively throughout tbe country, during
the past few weeks, and his reports are very
flattering, as regards field crops of all de
scriptions. Wheat is looking finely, and
there is a fair show for a larger yield of
this grain than there ever was before in
Oregon. A larger amount has been sown,
and it if growing nicely. Farmers feel
very jubilant over the evident good fortnne
in store for them. The recent rain was a
welcome visitor, and will push vegetation
forward rapidly. The fruit prospeets, how
ever, are very slim, cherry trees being
nearly all killed, and but few plums have
escaped serious injury by tne late frosts.
stall Pox Scare. The fact bein
known that there is small pox among the
Indians en the Silets, has made the .people
of this valley a Utile nervous. Tbe Indians
are occasionally straying out to the valley
and their appearance is the signal fur a
panic. This has given 0. A. Brown, Mes
unanf fh
senger for the Superintendency, no little trou
ble and active work. He has to " bob
aruund " here, there and everywhere, to
remove these fugitives from the neighbor
hoods into which they happen to stray,
Yesterday afternoon be received a telegram
frem Albany slating that more Indians had
arrived town in a panic come up imme
diately, etc Mr. Brown started instanter.
- A CcECTiojt.- A gentleman in North
Salem informs us that we were misinformed
in regard to the donation of an acre of
ground by the city to Mrs. Harper, by pay-
meat of a small sum. The facts of the
case are, as stated by our correspondent,
that she, ic connection with friends and
relatives, paid $170; wbile'the city donated
tlie remaining $30
Goon Txhblars' Rro alia. Capital
Lodge No. 11 of this city have just received
set of oiBeerV regalia, which in point of
finish exceed anything of the kind we have
ever teen belonging to the order. They
are made of silk velvet and ele-autly dece-
rated with gold fringe, tassels and devices
of various styles in accordance with the
rank ot offioc. They cost about 115 in
coin and tbe Lodge may justly feel proud
of them.

At this seasonal! the great lines of travel
begin to swarm with human beings Intent on
business or pleasure. Arc these moving mul-
tituteds aware o( the danger which ensues
from drinking different varieties of water and
breathing atmospheres to which their lunga
are unaccustomed ? lo thev realize how im
portant it is to be prc-armed with an anditode
that will defend their svstems from the evil
consequences of such changes and from all
ailments and disturbances wlUch arise from
the miasma so plentifully evolved from the
soil at this period of the year? Such an anti
dote certain In its protective operation ami
free from ever thing objectionable in its com
position and flavor has been fortweuty years
before the world. Vo instance can be adduced
during that period in which Hoatetter's Stom
ach Hitters has failed a.- an acclimating med
icine, or a.- a preventive of the body Ills to
which the undefended pvstem is liable In un
healthy localities
A good appetite, perfect digestion, a vigor
ous condition of the nervous system, function
al regularity, and a pure active circulation,
are the elements of health, and these signal
blessings may lie secured and perpetuated y
the use of this powerful vet harmless vegeta
ble tonic. Such is the experience of all w ho
have used it as a safeguard against the diseas
es which debility, Irregularity and a morbid
condition of the solids and fluid of the body
are sure to invite.
