It is also said that the late abundant rains have furnished pools of water all over the desert. . . .There exists quite a small pox "scare" in Prine ville at the present time. There is really little or no cause tor it. We have grave doubts of the existence of a case of smalt pox in Crook county, and if there is one, as has been reported, we see no cause for velline before being hurt. ...

This Oregon Pacific trouble is becoming very Intricate, and there are so many rum ors afloat It is difficult to tell how the wind is blowing. Several hundred of J. G. Mev- er&Co.'s men are in Corvallis demanding their pay, and that city is having a worse spell than smallpox. Job & Hamilton's bank is said to be guarded, and as well the O. P. office. Neugrass is said to have left last night at 5 o'clock, but this !s not au thenticated. At the front the laborer of Smith & Allen, sub-contrators, have quit work, the members of that firm having fled, one to California and the other north. They were owing thein $4000, Searle & Deane had $1000 of their monev to meet this with. Rumors in reference to Searle & Deanc are mostly exaggerated. Mr. Mahar, representing them, reguests us to state that the item in the Herald to the ef fect that.they had been attached bv several creditors, including Stewart & Sox and Wallace & Thompson, was untrue; but we find that so far as Stewart & Sox are con cerned, it was correct. Other attachments were issued but not applied, and theirs has been dissolved; it is believed that Searle & Deane are all right; but there is an uncer tain rumor that they will make an assign ment, probably not reliable. lost any kind of a sensation may be looked for in reference to the matter So far as the O. P. is concerned it is said thev havenald nil their contractors. Sheep TiUF.VES.The Corvallis Times ha3 a long, labored article on the subject of the proclamation issued by his Excellency, the Mayor of that city, requesting people from other towns and cities not to attend the second annual ball given by the mili tary company of Corvallis, for the reason that grave fears were entertained that small pox would be spread in that city The Timet after saying a great many hard things about Albany, as a petulant boy will when he loses his temper, says : "Perhaps there was no danger of spreading the dis ease, for it has been well said that a man that would take the small pox from an Al banyite would steal sheep." Now let us see. The Mayor and people of Corvallis were so fearful that small pox would spread in that city that the Mayor made a puuuc request xnai panics irom Amany should remain at home. None but sheep thieves would take the small pox from an Albanyite, therefore the people of Corval lis are regarded as sheep thieves else their Mayor would have had no fears about small pox spreading. None but a Corval lis paper would have thought of placing Corvallis people under such a cloud as this. The Times 's unfortunate.

Quite a numbe r of young ladies and j oung gentlemen, friends of Win Stites called unexpectedly at the residence of the laUer's parents in genuine surprise fashion last evening. The evening was passed in games, social chat and hearty holiday good cheer. Home Agaix Walter East and Mr. Cuzzins arrived in the city to day from the Eastern suberbs, where they have been stopping for about twelve days. They are enjoying guod health.

Montetih & Sei their IMMENSE Qall early before A Fatal Fight Information was re ceived here yesterday of an affray at Ger- vais, says the Statesman, which will proba bly icsutt it the death of Robert Krebs, one of the participants. It appears that Krebs, whose home is near Brooks, a few miles this side of Gervais, was drinking in a saloon at Gervais with Charles Atwood a section boss on the O. & C, when they commenced disputing with each other over their respective physical prowess,each claiming to be the "best man." It was fi nally decided that they should settle the matter at once bv going outside of the city limits and fighting it out. Krebscame out ahead ; but afterwards three men In the crowd attacked him, and one named At wood 6tabbed him, probably fatally. A Challenge. "The Albany paperi are bellyaching and poking fun at the re quest issued by Mayer Lee in regard to the military ball. The Herald says all sorts of funny things and calls us tender feet, while the Democrat sarcastically says: 'Varily they have some very brave soldiers at Corvallis.' If you think 'E company hasn't got some fighting metal. they might meet your brass buttoned gen try halt way and hght you to a finish just for practice." Times. Come on and we will agree to fumigate particularly for the occasion, and if there isn't some fun along the Wiilamette then our name is not Den nis. The First Siirrife. Yesterday in re ferring to the death of Mrs. Isaac Hutch ins,we mentioned her husband as having been the first sheriff of Linn county. We learn that we were mistaken. The first gentleman to have that honor was Mr. Jason Wheeler, now a resident of Albany, who was elected in 1848 and served for two years, taking the census of the county in 1850. When elected there were about 300 votes cast in the county. Mr. Hutchins was the second sheriff, being elected in 1850, serving one term of two years. Superior. That is the name of the stove at G. W.

A. ma jority of people do not mind paying five cents for riding a mile ; but very few would pay 20 cents after the novelty wore off, except for special purposes. Sarcastic The Corvallis Times In a long article attacks the O. P. road in a savage manner,among other things saying they have purchased the press to be silent. The road may possibly runtwoofthe Corval- !is papers; but it doesn't the Democrat: at the same time we appreciate what a great service u nas oone lor the vaitey, and are willing to overlook some of their big faults, for they seem to pursue the same course taken by railroads and people generally, that is, get all they can for the leist price regardless of means.
