Charles Everest left yesterday morning for Portland, after a ten day's visit in Corvaliis with his family, Mr. Everett is employed on the electric cars, holding the run between Portland and Van couver. He states that things are on the boom in the metropolis, that tlere is a vast amount of building on and work is plentiful. Mrs. Ed Buxtoto, who several months ego underwent a surgical operation in a Portland hospital, is differing intensely and is considered in a critical condition at the family home in tbis city. Many friends hope for the speedy recovery of this estimable lady. Miss Minnie Bux ton, the daughter, who is a graduate nurse, is at her bedside. A .few days.. ; ago Grant Elgin, Thomas Callahan and Dick Kiger were down on the bottom along the river on the latter's place four miles below town and ran across a deer. It is a seventh day wonder that the venison got away, as it undoubted ly looked good to the aboye men tioned ' gentlemen. Only the re-j spect in which they held the law saved the deer's life. Some contemptible cur took it into his head to cut the glass in a number of windows on Main street. By the use of a glass cutter or some very hard substance the large glass in the windows of the buildings occupied by John F. Allen, the First Mational Bank, E. W. S. Pratt and P. M. Zierolf were cut deeply and in a Bense ruined. There are no words expressive enough to use in dealing with the person who is low enough to com mit such an outrage. It seems strange indeed that in a city like Corvaliis, a city of orderly law-abiding citizens, there should be such a disregard for the rights of others and disrespect for the law, among the younger element, as is frequently manifested. Beeides innumerable cases of petty stealing about town, the report is now made by responsible persons that Crystal Lake cemetery is being visited by youug boya and certain shrubbery broken from that placed on the graves. This is surely a deplorable state of affairs, and young men in their teens are old enougb to know better. If the dead cannot rest in peace,what is to be expected next from this class ot youngsters? F. P. Sheasgreen came up from Portland, Saturday evening, in order to viBit with his daughters, Miases Harriett and Mable, and to nttend some items of business.

Daly came up from ortland, Saturday, to audit the usual grist of monthly bills for OAC. . While here, in talking of certain reports regarding hin:self, Mr. Daly said in unmistakable anguage that there was no founda tion c f truth whatever in an article which appeared in the Portland Telegram a month or two ago and which was reprinted m the Gazette to the effect that he expected to be come a candidate for the office of state treasurer.- He says he had nothing to do with such statement and the article appeared without his sanction or knowledge. The clam chowder supper given by the Christian endeavor society, of the Congregational church," on last Friday evening at the Farmer's iotel was an exceedingly pleasant ffair. The parlor and dining room were beautuully decorated witn Oregon grape, mistletoe and crepe p.per. The young people had everything well planned, and the ffuests were served in a most satisf actory manner. As this was the first clam chowder supper, some curiosity was naturally felt, but it has been prononnced by judges as being a perfect success. The en- deavorers had pledged their support for the new hymn books, which haye just been put info the church. This sum was realized and the so ciety is to be congratulated on the good work.
