GRAVE ROBBlNG.

1t seems that grave robbing is not confiet
alone to the Eastern States. The Albany
Democrat has the following:
Last week a young German, a stranger il
these parts died, and some of his country
men thinking that probably the grave rob
bers would get the body, agreed to watch
the grave at night for Il while. The frs:
night their vigis We're not rewarded by see.
ing any one, but on the second night at
about IL O'clock, a light hack containing
two men, drove up and stopped at the fence
at the southwest corner of the cemetery,
near where the body was buried One man
got out, looked at the grave and then went
over to the Indian camp near by, probably
for the purpose of getting some of the bucks
to assist in digging The Indians had evil
IDENTIFY seen the parties who were on the
watch, and told the man of it, for he almost
instantly returned to the hack on a run, and
jumping ill., put the "bud" to his horses
and drove away in hurry. A few days
afterward young lady was buried, and her
friends have also taken it upon themselves
to watch her grave until the danger Of the
removal of the body is over. We cannot
find words strong enough to express our dis
appreciation of this horrid work of body
snatching, and do hope that those scoun-
drels who have been making it their occupa-
tion will be brought to justice.

Liver is King.

The Liver is the imperial organ of the
whole human system, as it controls the life,
health and happiness of man. When it is
disturbed i'll its proper action, all kinds of
ailments are the natural result. The diges-
tion of food, the movements of the heart
and blood, the action of the brain and nerv-
Gus system. are all Immediately connected
with the workings of the LIVER. Il has
been successfully proved that Green's Au-
gust Floweris unequallcd in curing all person
afflicted with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint,
and all the nerveous symptoms that result
from an unhealthy condition of the Liver
and Stomach. Sample bottles to try, 10

THAT BENEFIT Last week we omitted
to mention the fact that the entertainment
for the benefit of the Evangelical Church,
in this city, on the evening of the 9th inst,
at the City Hall, consisting of recitations,
pantomimes, vocal and instrumental music,
etc, was complete success, financially and
otherwise. The hall was filled by an appre-
ciative audience, the programme was excel
lent, and everything passed off must hap
PLY. The net proceeds were handsome.

New FIBE ENGINE.-The new hand en-

Waterford, New York, arrived on the steam

day 1t was taken to the shop of Spiede1 &
Tracy, and set up, and on Wednesday morn
ing was tested by Young America Engine
Company, under the supervision of Chief
Engineer, T. J. Buford. 1t was a very dis.
agreeable time for trial-the mud being
ankle deep, in places-but the hosemen die
their work nobly, and the men at the brake
worked as slough they meant business
The trial was considered very satisfactory

NARROW GoUGERs.-A narrow gauge rail
road meeting was held at Charlottesville last
Saturday, and the sum of $500 subscribed.
There will be a meeting of the citizens
of Lebanon and vicinity at that place next
Saturday in the interest of the narrow
gauge. We understand that Col. Hogg
has made the proposition to the Brownsville
folks that if they want a narrow gauge to
run across the valley and connect with the
Yaquina road, and will grade and tie the
road bed, he will furnish the iron and rolling
stock. -. When last heard from the people
at Brownsville and that vicinity had raisel
about $4,000 for the railroad fund. :. The
narrow gauge railroad subscription paper
was started at Salem few days ago The
Kinneys headed the paper with $4,000

Don't Forget IT.

If you are troubled with nervousness are
disheartened tired of life, fear death or fee
out of sorts as the saying is, you may safely
conclude that you have the Dyspepsia OF
Liver Complaint The liver is very apt to
become torpid this season of the year as
poisons arising from stagnant water
or decaying vegetation are more numerous
and are through inhalation taken into the
blood. Unless the liver is strong and active
and furnishes a supply. of fresh and pure
blood to drive out the impurities, the above
mentioned SYMPTOMS surely follow, and if
not needed, end in more terrible diseases
and DEATH Whites Prairie Flower proves
itself the Great Liver Panacea It's action
on the liver is different from any medicine
ever compounded. Its cures are truely Won
derfuL Try it.. Price twenty-five cents
and seventy-five cents.

GooD TEMpLAR BENEFIT. 1t has been a
good many years since the citizens of Cor
Wallis have given the good Templar Lodge a
benefit. Many persons whose family duties,
business relations, and other good and suf-
fcient reasons, prevent them from connec-
ton with the Lodge have the Good of the
Order" at heart, and are kindly disposed to-
ward the organization. For over eighteen
years the banner of Excelsior Lodge No. g.,
has been proudly floating i'll this city. The
numbers who have taken the VOWS of Fldel-
ity at our altar are almost legion. Many of
them are true to those vows-some, alas .
are not. But that the organization has ac-
complished great good, no one, who is ac-
quainted with its history, will dare deny.
Many, to-day, are better, purer, nobler men
and women for having taken those vows
But our work is still in its infancy, and the
Lodge has scarcely entered upon it's grand
mission. But to carry forward any good
work requires self sacrifice, time, labor and
means. We need a new organ, new lamps,
and some other improvements i'll our Lodge
room, and we desire the citizens Of Corvallis
and vicinity-those who feel interested in
the great temperance reform, and who can
not make it convenient to do their part in
Lodge work, to give us "lft, fnanciaUy.
A small amount from each friend of the
cause would not Be missed by them, but, in
the aggregate, would help US wonderfully.
4 committee of arrangements are now pre-
pairing an entertainment, to be given at the
City Hall on the 14th of February, to which
the public will be cordially invited. From
the manner in which the matter is taken
hold of by the committee, we are satisfied it
will be success. Get your 80 cents ready.

FURTHER PARTICULARS Our Monroe
correspondent, under date of 10Th inst, +,
says: You ask particulars of suicide
There is no reason given, and no inquest was
held. Mrs. Banton appeared to be down
cast, yet attended to her work. On the
morning of her death, she did all the work
down stairs, and then went up stairs and
made the bed. The children had a swing
one end of the collar beams, and it is sup
posed she saw thia, and at once, ON the i'm
pulse of the moment, hang herself. Her
knees must have almost touched the floor.
Her daughter, only seven years old, cut her
down. That is all we know of the sad af
fair" Mrs. Edwards, .(wife of the County
Commissioner, who broke her arm, some
time ago, is doing very well, and hopes soon
to recoTer full use of the disabled member.

The CONTRAST. "A correspondent writing
from Yaquina Bay, under date of 10Th inst,
says: While the Columbia has been frozen,
the little steam launch, Eureka, has made
regular trips from Newport to Pioneer
from the sea to the head of navigation
without any difficulty. The ice has never
entirely closed the river between Elk and
Pioneer, "a miles from the bay. And this
has been the case with every "cold snap .
since 1854. While the Columbia has been
frozen for weeks at a time, people on the
Yaquina have passed from point to point
without any inconvenience. B.
