Mrs. Matte A. Bridge lectured at the city
hall. Monday night, on "Secial Breakers
to large and appreciative audience. After
giving few statements as to the effects of
alcohol Oh the system and brain, she pro-
eeeded to give her opinion. in very forcible
language, of the doctor who should prescribe
alcohol for a patient, mentioning some cases
that she personally knew. The balance Of
the address was confined mostly to series
of very interesting stories which were told
in pleasing manner holding the people up-
der her sway till the close. Temperance is
a subject which has been handled so often
that it seems hard to say anything new, but
Mrs. Bridge made her hearers listen as
though they had never heard of the subject
before. The order was exceptional for Cor.
Wallis.
Mrs. Bridge also appeared before large
audience at the city hall last Wednesday
evening and delivered very able and in.
structive lecture on the subject of Otdfel-
lowship, its history and good works. Mrs.

The Curfew Law.
May Sth, 1885.

Albany Democrat: ''Ths Curfew Law of
this city, requiring young men and women
under twenty-one years of age to be off the
streets, except on business, after 9 D. M
and before ) a. M, is being rigidly enforced
in Albany. Young men six feet tall, some
smooth faced. some with affecting mus
tsches, even though they lack but short
period Of their majority, have been summar-
ily sent home to their beds on several occas.
ions. Naturally enough it is very embar-
RAISING business to the young men. Take a
boy of twelve or fifteen and he is used to
being boesed; but when he reaches twenty
it is mighty .Ihumiliatiug to him to be Or
dersd home. The Democrat has always ad.
vosated the law, and does not 60 back on
itskpast record. If minor wishes to be on
the streets all he has to do is to get the per-
mission Of his parents or guardian, which is
. complete protection if he presents it to
the Nightwatch. If his parents refuse to
sign any such permission he ought by all
means be made to stay at home" Corvallis
should have such an ordinance, and if en-
forced would have beneficial effect. Let
tho new city council consider this subject.

decided to hold the next regular Grand

Several months ago Mrs. John F. Benson,
living near Corvallis, was severely burned
by an accidental explosion of bottle filled
with gunpowder. Skillful SUI gical aid was
invoked, and everything possible was done
for the unfortunate woman, but her severe
wounds gradually grew worse until last
Friday evening, when she died.

down his pen on last Mon'lay morning and

gramme ia being arranged, which includes
contesting of various kinds for substantial
