Newspaper Page Text(Drcflon Statesman ' : AND UNIONIST. SALEM. FJUDAY, NOV. 12 THE CITY AND COXJWTEY. Wednesday, Nev. lO. Prosperous. The Medical Department of the Willamette University, starts on its course this winter under favorable auspices. There, are twenty students in attendance on the loo tures, and the chairs arc all filled by Profes sors well qualified in their respective depart ments. Contributions too, for their Journal are coming in, and it ia expected to prove a valuable adjunct of the institution. River Travel. We learn that in the fu ture, the Pi T. Company' propose to start a boat from Portland for this place on every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, five times. The water is rising and the indications are that trips will bo made reilnrly, so that travelers will now be able to depend on making their time according to calculations. The boats will be kept pretty busy with freight this winter; there arc, it is estimated, a million bushels of-wheat await, ing transportation in the counties on the river. t'osTtr Socp.j-A friend from Yamhill in forms us that Mr. J. J. Burton, of that coun ty, recently brought home a pair of fine Span ish fowls for which he had paid $25. lie put them in the ben bouse wlfh the oommon stock, and a few nights after the boys levied a contribution on. his poultry yard for a soup. Tho first that fell into their thievish clutches were the blooded stock, who suffered decapita tion maugre their high extraction. The raid era did not report wnetner tjjeir. meal was more than ordinarily palatable.but it is to hoped that such is the case, as otherwise there would bo a great loss without corresponding gain. ; - ' ' j Goiso Ahead. Gen. Reed evidently does not intend that for want of a few fine days his new Opera House shall stand through the coming winter in partially unfinished state. Yesterday workmen were busy all day on top of the building despite the steady rain. Some were engaged in putting up the cornice to the western part of the edifice, others were carry. ing up the firewall to the height of the front building, others again were busy at the win. dow casings and so on. On Saturday last the wind was so strong that the workmen were compelled to leave the upper and exposed parts of the building. But a few more days work will complete the exterior, and the bal ance can be done at leisure. A Two Mosths' Trip. Mr. A. A. MeCnlly and family were absent from Oregon two months, and the extent of their journeying during that time, plainly illustrates the great change that has come over the fortunes of the Pacific coast with the construction of the Conti ncDta Railroad. They were eleven days going in a pleasant and convenient manner from Portland to Philadelphia, visited some of the principal cities of the Atlantio sea board, went to Chicago, spent weeks in visi ting friends in the West and Northwest, and weDt to St. Louis, where Mr.- McCulIy attended the National Capital Convention as a delegate from Oregon. Then- they returned to Califor nia, and thenoe came overland by stage from Sacramento, making a tour we could hardly have comprehended as possible of achieve ment if looked forward to five years back. Mr. MeCnlly brings back with him some sub stantial trophies of his successful travel. We have received from him a bottle of sorghum syrup, made on a friends' farm in the West and a pocket full of hickory nuts gathered by him on a farm in Iowa, owned by him and " Dave," in 1844, at which time the now stalwart hickories . were mere withes in size. Thursday, IVetr. lO. Correspondence. Postmaster Rickey in forms us that the letters mailed in tho office at this place, average 250 daily. .Married. Oct 31, 1869, by Rev. B. N, Longsworth, at the residence of the bride' parents, near Jefferson, Mr. D. W. Jones to Miss Maria Baruett. The good people of Corvallis were probably gratified by seeing the Albany steam up to their city yesterday, us the river has raised sufficient to encourage the attempt. As Esd. The last brick of Reed's new building was laid on the walls yesterday And now we hope .soon to see the jinsightly scanoidmg away from the walls of this orna ment to tho town. The stage office will hereafter be located at the Express office, whero those desiring to see Mr. Corbett on business will generally find him. The stage will, for the present, stop at tho Union Hotel near the long bridge, which m ty be considered the Salem " terminus," and a very good "terminal point," hungry passenger will find it.

Attempted Odtbaoc. We are informed by parties from Lafayette, that last week two young fellows about fifteen years of age, suc ceeded in obtaining possession of a quantity of chloroform, and in administering it to a young lady of about the same age, with the intention of stupefying her and then violating her per. son . They were fortunately discovered before their villanous design was accomplished, and we learn that they are supposed to have ab sconded j probably they have been helped off to California by the steamer Oriflamme, per haj5 to avoid any disagreeable consequences that may follow the action of the grand jury now ia ssino. These yonng fellows coma of New Ads. David die baa in bis shop the premium style of cook stove that took the first prize at the Pafis Exposition, really the finest thing in that line and the most complete we ever saw. Uiafovago & Wright are out in full force this morning, with an ad. that should oommaud general attention. They have New Orleans sugar for sale. R. H. Price has set up a city hack, prepared with lamps, and is ready to carry passengers and baggage to the boats or to the cars (when they run) or to any point desired, Q. W. Hunt wants a good rail spliter, but candidates for President are not expected to apply. Mr. Reed opens his Opera House Friday evening for a social dance. . The last one was a social success, and pleasant gatherings are projected for tho win ter in fortnightly installments. The Opera Building Company is incorpora ted and organized, capital stock $100,000, President, C. A. Reed ; Secretary, P. L. Wil is; Treasurer, G. WV Rhoadea. The inten tion is to form a strong Company with means sufficient to take the block known as Reed's Opera block, complete the same in the best possible style, for the use and benefit of our city. The object is one that will certainly redound to the publio good, and we hope it will fully succeed. We need a general Hall for social purposes, lectures, concerts and pub ic meetings, and there is no one man in Sa lem able to invest $50,000 in the work. A corporation can safely do it, and will receive handsome returns. Friday, November Its. Cox A Ear hart have a fresh ad. in to-day- a sort of general card as to their business in tentions. Hail Storms. Early yesterday morning. the storm, which had been raging with great violenoe all night, assumed a new phase, and we had two hail storms, lasting for a few min ntes each, but covering the ground with a coating of- ice balls, ranging in size from duck 0 buck-shot. Raftiso. Yesterday we observed two large rafts of logs slowly floating down the river. and were informed that they came from about Buena Vista, and were for the uso of mills in Salem. The lumber business is lively, and there is no reason to expect it ever to be less so in the future. A large load of wood was also brought down on a flat the first of the season, we believe. Escaped Cohtict Heard From. Some lit tle time since, aa we learn, a convict employed at the biick-yard made his escape. . He was one of the three eonvioied four years since of the robbery of Mr. Love, at Canyon City, had worked out most of his sentence, and bad proved so faithful and trusty as to command confidence and -disarm suspicion ; but taking advantage of favoring circumstances, he made his escape. So, at least, we are informed, and also that he has been heard from as making his way to the coast, and that steps are taken to have him arrested before he can take pass age out of the country. I i River Navigation. Wo learn at tho office of the P. T. Company that the regular winter programme will be immediately put in opera tion. The Echo will start for the upper river Saturday, go to Harrisburg, and perhaps to Eugene. Next week the Albany and Echo will run the river above Corvallis. The Ac tive is now running to Salem ; the Fannie Patton goes to Corvallis to-day, but next week the Relianoe and Fannie will commence the regular passenger line from Oregon City to Corvallis, going up Monday, Tuesday, Thurs day and Friday, and down on Monday, Wed nesday, Thursday and Saturday. It is expect ed that one of the irregular boats will always fill the intervening days, and make a line every week day from Portland to Corvallis. Life a Failure. Salem, Nov. o, 1869. Ed. Statesman : : Mortimer began life un der the usual conditions of povery, with out friend uor influence to help. He re solved nevertheless, to make his mark. He became industrious, and industry brought him wealth. He was sternly upright, and that secured respect. His generosity kept pace with his gains, and that won renown so that at the age of fifty he was the richest man in bis State, and its cniet magistrate He erew ill." medical science was impotent Sir," said his attendants, " the brittle thread will snap before the sun goes down." Astonished, he said, "it cannot be,l sbnll be ud to-morrow." Jvery art was applied in vain. The agitated form grew weak. Tick. tick, the seconds went, and before the shad ow8 came the catastrophe was upon him. Turninir to the wall, in an agony no pen can describe, he cried, "my life has been a failure." and was dead. How many men in Salem, are living to exclaim at the last, my lile has been a failure T" Beta. Eeport of Secretary of Oregon Child- MA Cv;n4-. Salem, Nov. 4, 1869.

Tb Society have oovr a pwl building upon the t air Grounds, with fixturea aod appurtenances necessary to carry on the business all paid for aod it is to be hoped that, with the benefit of this fact and witb the experi ence of the past Fair week, the work can be carried oo still more snccesl'ully another year; keeping alive, too, tho claims of the Society on the hearts ot the people who gather yearly at this place. The Board wish here to express their ap preciation of valuable services rendered by Joseph Holman. Esq., who devoted much time and labor " to forward this scheme. Many donations of money, fancy articles and provisions were received, too numer ous to mention in a newspaper article, and all the donors are here cordially thanked for help rendered. And it is to be hoped lhat all who come next year will eubstan Donations from Grave Creek, a distant part cf the Statit shows that the institution is becoming known and appreciated. The year past has been one of labor and difli culty to the Board, for obvious reswons, tbn greatest of which has been the want ot money to carry out the intentions ot the Society ; yet, under these clouds of discouragement we see the silver lining, giving hope and proinlxe of a brighter fu ture. Only one child has been received, and thitt one under plea of the necessity ol immediate assistance, and befoie tho Home was Dnished. M. Royal and w fe took charge of the bouse after it was finished for several months, hut other business demanding bis attention, be left, and the Home is now ciosed until another suitable person can be found to fill the place. 1 I submit the above, Harriet Clarke, Secretary.

Politicians, with an eye to appoinments and profits, would doubtless be glad to have us spend a few hundred thousands ot dollors a year in maintaining a lot of useless civil and mill tary officials to watch it, with fat salaries and liberal rations, but we imagine the people will hardly approve of this plan, They would rather not throw good money after bad. We bave paid out $7,200,000 gold, and we cannot get back. Let us take General 'ihomas' advice, have no civij government at all, but. only keep a small military force at one or two sposts, and there slop. True, of Course. The Portland Herald says Mrs. F. M. bates, the accomplished actress, was "the eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Parr, having been born in 1514 " ! We implicitly believe the Herald's state ment, of co urge, but are rather surprised at never having heard this remarkable story before. Then again, we would like to know how the lady enjoys having her age made so public. Pat Fagerty went all the way from Manchester to London to thrash Nick Fitzpatrick, winding up the perform ance with the assistance of au awful horse-shoe. He was detected and brought before a justice. A part of the examination annexed : . j Court came from Manchester, did you not ? 1'at xour honor has answered cor rect.

Patrick saw a bull pawing in a field, and though what fun it would be to jump over catch him by the boms and rub his nose in the dirt. The idea waa bo funny that he lay down and laughed to think of it. The more he thought of it the funnier it seemed, and he de termined to . do it. Bovus quickly tossed him over the fence again. Somewhat bruised, Patrick leisurely got up, witb the consolatory reflec tion, 'Well, it is a mighty foine thing I had my laugh foorst.' j Coaahs at d colds are ofien overlooked.
