Died..

In Vancouver, Sunday, December ID, 1877,
Capt. VIM. II. Turnbull, i'll the Seth year of
his age.
Deceased was a son of Capt. James Turn
bull one of the early pioneers of this coun-
try. He early learned to follow the vocation
of his father, and was general favorite both
among steamboat men and the travelling pub
lie He was several years in the employ of
the O. S. n. Co. on the Upper Columbia
River, was with that Company at the time
his health failed him, and remained nominally
in their employ for some time after he re-
signed his position they continuing to pay
him salary, hoping he would recover
Some months ago, in the midst of his trouble,
he suffered great bereavement in the death
of his wife, leaving him with three little chill
dren But his mother and sister received
him into their homes, nursed him tenderly to
the last, and now have the children with
them to care for as their own. His disease
was cancer, and only those who have been
with him can know what he suffered, and APP
preciate the patience and fortitude with which
he bore his terrible afilicton. He was man
of sterling worth, temperate and honorable,
virtuous and kindly atfectionate to his wife
and little children, and of a benevolent dis
position toward all his fellow men. In view
of his great suffering in this last illness, death
was to him blessed relief and a relief to his
friends, who were powerless to check the
progress of his terrible complaint, but could
only stand by and cheer him as best they
could as they smoothed his way down into
the valley of the shadow of death. He has
gone now, and they know that he is at rest;
that peace which passeth all understanding
is his. They will always revere his memory
as they point his children to his spotless
character and conjure them to emulate his
example. The funeral ceremonies, which
took place at the Catholic Church yesterday,
were of a most impressive character, and a
large number of friends followed his body to
its last resting place in the family lot at the
City Cemetery. The appropriate words of
the Priest in the few remarks he made were
based upon the following words of Revela-
tion:-"Blessed are the dead which die in
the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labors
and their works do follow them"

Rev. +. Walker, is associated with
our earliest recollections in Oregon.
The following from the pen of a
brother pioneer of his, tells the short
and simple annals of that good man:
CLATsoP COUNTY, Oregon,

EDITOR AsToRIAN:
Permit me to correct slight mis-
take copied in your daily of the 23d
inst, from the Oregontom of the 22d,
in relation to Rev. +. Walker or
"Fatber" Walker. He, as per our
record in giving his name to our Pio-
neer and Historical Society of Oregon,
was born in West Yarmoth, Maine,
August II, 1905. Started for Ore
gon March IL, 1888; arrived August
20, 1888. He, with Rev. G. Eells,
established the Spokane Mission at
Tshimakain, now Spokane county,
w. T., early in the spring of 1889,
where he and associate Eells remained
till the massacre of DIR. Whitman and
the Americans that were spending
the winter at his station in 1S41. In
the spring of 1913, he with his
family and the survivors of the mis-
sions of the American board of com
missioners for foreign missions were
brought to the Wallamet valley,
where he finally located at Forest
Grove, and closed his labors on earth

Medical Department of the Will
lamette University.

The twelfth regular annual course
of lectures in the medical department
of the Willamette University at
Salem, Oregon, will commence with
the public address on the evening of
December, 18th, 1877.
In accordance with the general adj
vance of Medical Science, the require
ments of thorough Professional Ed
ucation, the maturer experience of
other and older Medical Colleges, and
the recommendation of the American
Medical Association, the Faculty of
Medicine, with the concurrence Of
the Trustees, have extended the term
of Lectures to six months instead of
four.
In order to aid the student to pros
ecute his studies more etfectually,
there will be but four Didactic Lee
lures daily, upon which the class will
be thoroughly examined each day.
This course gives the student more
time for careful study and reflection,
while it also secures to him the inval-
liable benefits accruing from frequent
reviews. This system has worked
most admirably since its introduction,
and hence it will be continued in the
future.
The means for illustrating these
lectures consists of set of chemical
and philosophical apparatus, a good
chemical laboratory, supply of phys
Illogical charts, a complete set of
anatomical models, full series of
specimens in materio medico, surgical
and obstetrical instruments and APP
pllances, ETC., etc.
The clinical facilities for the study
of diseases are sufficiently ample !;
each Professor pledging himself to
use the utmost diligence to secure
clinical material for the instruction of
the class.
l.. l.. Rowland, NJ. d., is the Dean
Of the Medical Faculty. The oppor-
tunity afforded for the study of med
icine at this institution is quite as
good as can be found on the Pacific
coast.

New YORK, Dec. 2.-The Worlds
special from Washington says: What
ever may be the tone of the message,
there seems to be no doubt the Presi-
dent has become somewhat alarmed
over the course of the Senate on his APP
pointments, and will make some changes
if opportunity is afforded him. For
instance, if the nomination of Lawrence
for collector at New Orleans fails, no
doubt he will nominate PackaI d.
Packard's friends have assurances of
this. If this is done, it will be taken
as an evidence of very decided change
in that class of appointments in the
South, and this will conciliate the Re
publican malcontents in the Senate,
but if the message does not, there is no
way to peace with Conkling and Ed
munds that can be OWNED here Just at

its important features are known
TO be:
First-Opposition to the repeal of
the resumption act or to any modlti-

ton. He will state that both the
secretary Of the treasury and the
comptroller of the currency believe

alton of the silver dollar with a fixed
legal tender limit and legislation look
ing to a conference with other nations

Mexican policy for protection of the
Rio Grande border, stating that he is
about to order there the increased
force of cavalry lately authorized by
congress,
Fourth-He will comment upon at
length and defend the civil service
reform policy of his administration,
and indicate the abuses it has cor
rected.
F'ifth-He will recommend that the
award latel y made on behalf of the
Dominion on account of fisheries UNI
der the treaty Of Washington, will be
made a subject of future action.
Sixth He will recite his coarse in
removing troops from the states of
Louisiana and South Carolina, and
declare the results have fully justl-
fed it.
Seventh-He will inform congress
there is but little OF interest in our
foreign relations, except negotiations
for the modification of our eXtradl-
ton treaty with England and for a
new one with Mexico.
