A Choice Bit of Parchment Describing
the Funeral of Washington.
' Among the effects which fell
into the hands of Miss Kate Ge r
hard, of this city, on the death
of her friend, Mrs. Margaret Ma
dy, in Albany recently, was a
copy of the Ulster County Ga
zette, No. 88, VoL II, published
by Samuel Freer and Son, Jan
4, 1800; price ,25 cents. -
It is a most valuable piece of
old paper, containing as it does
the notice of the entombment o
the remains of General George
Washington, whose aeath occurr
ed on the 14th of December,
1799. The paper is printed in
mourning. . u nder the su o-head
'Washington Entombed" is the
following notice:
"On Wednesday last, the mor
tal part of Washington the great
The Father of his Country and
Friend of .Man -was consigned
to the tomb, with solemn honors
and funeral pomp.
"A multitude at persons as
sembled, from many miles around
at Mt. Vernon, the choice abode
and last residence of the illustri
ous chief.- There were tne
groves, tne spacious avenues, tne
beautiful and sublime scenes, the
noble mansion but, alas! the
usfc inhabitant was now no
more. That great soul was
gone. His mortal part was there
indeed; but ah! how affeeting!
how awful the spectacle of such
worth . and greatness, thus, to
mortal eves fallen! yes! fallen!
fallen!
"In the long and lofty porti
cos, where oft the Hero walked
in all his glorv, now lay the
shrouded corpse. The counte
nance was composed the
dignity of the spirit, which late
ly dwelt in that lifeless form.
There these who paid the last
sad honors to the benefactor of
his country, took an impressive
a farewell view.
"On the ornament, at the
head of the coffin, was inscribed
surge ad Judicium about the
middle of the coffiin, Gloria
Deo and on the silver plate,
'GENERAL
GEORGE WASHINGTON .
Departed this life, on the 14th
December, 1799, Et, 68.' ,"
Decscriptive of the occasion
are the following paragraphs:
"Between three', and "four
o'clock, the sound of artillery
from a vessel in the river, firing
minute cruris, awoke afresh our
solemn sorrow the corpse was
moved a band of - music with
mournful melody melted the
soul into - all the tenderxess of
woe."
"When the procession had ar
rived at the bottom of the elevat
ed lawn, on the banks of the
Potomac, where the family vault
is placed, the cavalry halted, the
infantry marched toward the
Mount and formed their lines
the clergy, the Masonic Brothers,
and the Citizens, descended to
the Vault, and the funeral ser
vice ot the Church was perform
ed. The firing was repeated
from the vessel in the river, and
the sounds echoed from the
woods and hills around."
'Three general discharges bv
the infantry--the cavalry and 11
pieces of artillery, which lined
the banks of the Potomac back
ot the Vault, paid the last tri
bute to the entombed Command
er in Chief of the Armies of the
United States and to the depart
ed Hero."
"The sun was now setting,
Alas! the son of glory was set
forever. No the name of
WASHINGTON the American
President and General will tri
umph over death! The un
clouded brightness of his glory
will illuminate the future ages."

rangements for getting rehears

As a result of his labors, rehears

There is to. be no football game
next Saturday, between teams
from OAC arid Albany College.
The great blow and bluster in
dulged in by the management of
the champions of Linn county
some weeks ago, bas been gradu
ally growing weaker, until it fi
nally winked out in an expiring
gasp last Saturday evening.
.Knowing that OAC had every
available date filled up to Thanks
giving, partisans of the Albany
team began aspiring to the cham
pionship of the state, and taunted i
the farmers with being afraid to
meet the Albany aggregation.
Manager Johnson on behalf of
the Agricultural College team,
sent Albany College a challenge
for a game after -Thanksgiving,
which Manager. Thompson re
fused to accept. He, however,
sent a counter challenge which
stipulated that the game be plav-
ed on the Albany grounds on
December 6th, 1002, the details
to be agreed upon by the mana
gers of the teams. - -
Before this challenge reached
he farmers, they had considered
Albany's failure to accept their i
first proposition, and, being ex
ceedingly anxious to nip the as
pirations of the Albany school,
they sent a challenge containing
five propositions, giving Albany
er choice. -
What followed is thus told by
the Albany Democrat: '
"In a telephone conversation
last evening between Coach Ed
wards and Manager Johnson of
the Corvallis team, Manager
1 hompson ot the Albany team
being sick, arrangements were
made for a game on the college
campus at this city on Saturday,
uecemoer o, wituout gate re
ceipts." '
The Albany Herald gave a like
account,; showing that it was
thoroughly understood at Albany
as well as at Corvallis that defi
nite and final arrangements had
been made for the game. The
terms named in Albany's chal
lenge that the game be played
in Albany, Dec. 6th, and that
details be agreed upon by the
managers (Edwards officially rep
resented. 1 nompson, who - was
sick) were all complied with.
The OAC management be
lieving that Albany was acting
in good faith, began preparing
for the game. Coach Herbold
was engaged for an additional
ten days and Coach McFadden,
01 dtaniora, was securea as an
assistant. Arrangements were
also made to run a big excursion
to Albany on the day of the
game.
Then Manager Thompson, of
Albany desired to- negotiate
again. He wanted to alter the
conditions already agreed to,
Although OAC had offered to
play at Albany and divide the
gate receipts after the expenses
of the teams had been paid, Al
bany chose to refuse this proposi
The season for killing China j
pheasants "closed Sunday. - Game
Warden Quimby estimates that
.S.ooo - upland birds - have been
killed since the season opened.
Mr. Quimbv believes there
have not been so many viola
tions ot the law as during former I
seasons, Out there was enough 1 to:
keep him and. his deputies busy.
In fact, at the present time, sev
eral cases are pending. . The
Warden has confiscated one case
sent from Benton county, and
consigned to - parties in . Seattle,
as well as three other - lots from
other places intended .for San
Francisco parties. Oner of the
latter confiscation was shipped
by a banker in ;: Salem, who
claims that the birds were for
friends in San Francisco, and
while that is undoubtedly the
truth, it is iust as much aa in
fringement of the law as though
they were actually for. sale. If
the Warden winked at one per
son for sending birds out of the
state to friends,, he would soon
have his hands full, as many
persons would sell them outside
and claim that they were giving
them away to friends. The line
must be drawn somewhere. '

Now comes Manager Thomp
son, declaring that the team will
not play unless an admission fee
is charged. It was feared that as
Manager Thompson had acted in
bad faith in one instance, his
conduct might not be better in
the future, so he was asked to
wire immediately and place him-
telf on record as to his inten
tions, as the farmers were under
heavy expense; which they did
not wish to continue if there was
tobe no game. Thompson re-
mafaed firm in his refusal to play
under the conditions that had
been agreed upon, and the game
was declared on. Uoach Her

The new school house of the 'Monroe,
district is nearing completion. ; On ac
count of scarcity of material daring the
past summer and fall its completion has
been retarded very much to the regret of
the board of directors who wanted a fall
term of school. According to the con
tract it should have been completed a
month ago. It is now painted and plas
tered. The windows have been placed
ur the casing and the blackboards hare'
been completed. The building presents
a most attractive appearance. When it
is entirely completed it will be one of the
best school houses in the county, The
rooms are so arranged that by opening
folding doors the two rooms can be made
into one large room. The halls and
cloak-rooms are most conveniently ar
ranged.
Such a building as this is a credit to
the entire county-. It will do much to
ward building up Monroe. It will cause
many of the citizens of southern Benton
to go to Monroe during the winter to ed
ucate their children. This will no doubt
be the cause of many, new dwellings be
ing built. The citizens of this district
are to be complimented on their progres
sive 6pint. The clerk, Adam YViIhelm
Jr., and the board, Mat Wilhelm, James
Martin and James Pfouts deserve great
praise and credit , for their efforts in se
curing such an excellent addition to
Monroe. .With such officers - in charge
a wide awake and successful school
