Rough on cal,fornia Cabbage.

The Albany Democrat says: Last Thurs
day evening about nine o'clock several of
the members of Dr.. R.. C. Hill's family,
three stopping with them during the Ali
ance, and Miss Nettie Sparks, who boards
with them, wen taken suddenly i'll and
began vomiting. DR.. J. L. Hill was called
and Immediately saw that they had all been
poisoned by something which they had eat
en-. Two OF the persons came very near dy-
ing, and it was only by the considerable
work that they werc brought ont. It was
ascertained that those who had eaten some
cabbage tCalifornia cabbage) were afflicted
while the others were not, and there was
nothing else on the table could have caused
it. It is thought that Paris green had been
put on the vegetables to kill bugs, as is a
common practice with many of the Span
iards particularly around San Francisco, and
it had worked itself into the body of the
cabbage. DR.. Hill made thorough anal
ysis Of the cabbage and found that it con
tanned arsenic in considerable quantities,
which no doubt came from the use of Paris
green. The family OF Michael Peyser were
also taken sick on Wednesday from ssting

Mns,c in phi1omath.

Probably no other little town engages so
earnestly in the cultivation of good music
as Philomath. On Monday evenings class
meets in one part of town. on Tuesday eve
nings amale quartette meets at the house
of one OF the citizens; on Wednesday eve-
nings class In vocal music meets at another
place in town. On all the ether evenings
of the week the time is taken up by the
band OF some of the classes above mentioned.
Organ, guitar, violin and cornet are to be
heard everywhere at almost all times. Prof.
Jones has vocal classes, instrumental classes,
teaches the brass baud, composes his own
music, and does all he can; but always has
more than he can do. Mention ought to be
made of composition, offered in modest
way to the public at our last public rhet-
orical. and done originally by Prof. Jones.
It was played as duet by two Of his class.
It was good and deserves a dedication far
more than much Of the sheet music bought
of publishers. The Cantata ofsthe Months
and Seasons will not be offered at the close
of the present college term. The books
seem too slow in coming; but we trust that
SO good thing is only postponed.

Nedtcsl Lectures.

Mrs. Anna NJ c. Potts NJ. D., who COM
mences series of lectures on Physiology,
health and disease, at Hamilton's Hall, on
Tuesday evening next, is the recipient of SO
many favorable press notices that we feel
assured the citizens of Corvallis have a
veritable treat in store for them. The
Oregonian of recent date says: SIT is not
often that our people are presented with an
opportunity of listening to a course of lec-
lures of ssch superior merit and real prac-
tical worth. The lady in speaking of a
sound bsdy, enunciated the following truths.
that there is law that all moving bodies
change without attention. All animated
nature must wesr out. Her remarks upon
tobacco and aIchohol and their serious ef.
fects were especially striking and commend
able. The lectures were full of good sound
sense expressed in way that everyone can
understand. DIR. Potts has proven herself a
aramatist of high order. The applause dur
ing the lecture was frequent and prolonged,
coming in very appropriately. Her private
lectures to ladies are spoken of in most
enthusiastic manner and are regularly at
tend I'd by our best ladies'" We advise
everybody to attend Monday evenings
lecture. Remember the first lecture is free.

Gets a ,.Frea" Ticket.

One of the beauties and charms of an edi-
tors life is in dead-heading it on all occa-
sions No one who has never tasted the
sweets of that bliss can begin to take in its
glory and happiness. He does one hundred
dollars worth of advertising for railroad,
gets stpass" for year, and rides twenty
five dollars worth, and is looked upon as a
dead-hea He 'tpuffs' a theater or concert
troupe ten dollars worth, and gets one dol
lar in "complimentaries, and is thus passed
in sefree." If the hall is crowded he is
grudged the room he occupies, for If his com
plimentaries were paying tickets the troupe
would be so much in pocket. He blows and
puffs church festival or ice cream sociable
free to any desired extent, and barely gets
"thank YOU for it; and if he should happen
to attend, his silver is as much expected as
any other persons. He does more work for
the town and community than all the rest
of the POPULATION put together, and genera
lily gets cursed for it.aH, while man who
denotes dollar for the Fourth of July or a
base ball club is gratefully remembered.
No it is sweet thing to be an editor. He
passes ''free," you know.

Efozau Feet.

Mr.. Charles Tyler, brother of Henry and
Joseph Tyler and son of Mrs. Argsbright,
returned few days ago from Eastern Ore
gon, where he had been herding and feed
ing stock during the winter. He met with
a very unfortunate accident; while he was
out one morning feeding stock during the
cold weather and upon going to the house
he placed his feet near the fire which started
him to jumping all round. Upon examina-
tion he discovered that his feet had been
very badly frozen. He remained there long
enough to recover sufficiently to enable him
to start to the Willamette valley. On his
trip down however he lost his way and laid
out over night exposed again to cold which
injured his feet again. Upon talking with
his brother Henry he says that he may re-
cover so far as to get along without trouble
in summer time but thinks he viii always
suffer with thens in winter.

VIM. Ballard, aged 27, unmarried, with q

back, crossed the ferry Monday evening
from Benton county, and entered Albany
says the Democrat He acted insanely,
and so was captured and taken care of over
night. Tuesd.y morning he was examined
and found OF unsound mind, and at noon
was taken to East Portland by Sheriff
Humphrey. This is WINS second offense,
he having been released from the asylum
last December. He is evidently the victim
of an abrse which is filing our insane asy
lum, and while there are several sparks OF
intelligence left in his brain, he is most ter
ribly weak, Intellectually and physically,
and probably will receive the treatment he
needs under the excellent care of DR..

recently moved to Portland made his appear
ance in our town last Tuesday after train

Portland it's business and prospects. The
real estate interests are booming there but
he claims that there is no excitement in the

see men of all sizes and kinds carefully ex-
amining all portions of Portland where any
vacant lots are to be found and when one of
them comes to nice unimproved lot he will
look at it carefully from every stand point
and if it suits his idea of choice property he
will forthwith produce map of the city
and after finding therefrom who it belongs
to he Immediately makes his way down
town to some real estate dealers Office and
negotiates fc- the purchase of the lot and
then perhaps he will return to select anoth-
er piece and SO on. Mr. Young is pleased
with his new business and will return socn
after tranacting some business which he
came here on purpose to attend to.

A Saloon Keeper Assaults Man and Is Shot
Dead.
The Marshfield, Coos county, Nesos gives
an account of the killing of Charles Strand,
proprietor of the Palace saloon of that place
by Peter Poos, on Thursday morning, Feb
ruary 22,l. ltappears that on the previous
day difficulty arose between them about
81 so bet on game of cards, and angry
words were indulged in. They then sepa-
rated, leaving the dispute unsettled, and
undoubtedly entertaining i'll feelings toward
each other. On Thursday morning Poos,
duly sober, walked into the Palace saloon,
took one drink and sat down by the stove,
while Strand, on seeing Poos enter, went to
the wood shed and procured "salmon
club which he had whitted out for the
occasion, and which was made of fir timber.
He then walked into the saloon, and reach
ing for Poes with his left hand, raised the
club with his right, while Poos retreated a
few feet, till stopped by Strand, who was
abous-to strike, when Poos discharged his
revolver, the ball entering Strands left
breast just above the collar bone, severing
the common carotid artery and cutting the
wind pipe, causing death in few minutes !.
After hearing all of the evidence and the
argument of the attorneys, the prisoner was
discharged, the evidence clearly showing
that the killing was done in self defense.

pointed ]. C. Church, of the firm of Robin
son and Church, Eugene, county judge of
Lane county, says the Statesman. From
what we can learn the appointment of Mr..
Church ia as good selection as could be
made in Lane county.
Gov Moody has been fortunate SO far in
his appointments, as far as we have been
able to learn, and we expect to he able to
refer to the administration of Mf. Moody
as one which all future administrations
might do well to emulate. So far he has
been the governor of Oregon, not that OF
some faction or clique, as has been too Of
