Decoration Day.

Last Saturday at IL o'clock a. nl., the
business houses of the city closed, and
many of the citizens followed Ellsworth
Post, No. l9, G. A. R., headed by the Cor
Wallis Cornet Band, to Crystal Lake ceme-
terry, where the Post decorated the graves
OF their departed comrades with bright
flowers, and impressive ceremony. The
day was fine and all felt well paid for their
trouble. On returning to their hall the
Post passed some resolutions and vote of
thanks. and adjourned till evening. when
an impromptu entertainment was given at
the city hall. The exercises consisted of
music by the glee club and band; reading
the beautiful poem, ''Cover them over with
beautiful flowers" by w. E. Paul; by spec
ial request Miss Bertha Neugass recited
the poem "Absalom," and did remarkably
well; reading, "rhe return of the Hillside
Legion" by Miss Jessie Samuels; recitation
by Miss Millie Merrill, "You put no flowers
on my papa's grave" memorial address, by
F. NJ. johnson; remarks by Judge Burnett,
and the closing address by J. r. Baldwin.
For an impromptu affair." it was the most
entertaining ever givenin Corvallis. At the
close of the exercises comrlde Samuels paid
high tribute to the very large audience,
and the young boys in particular for the
very excellent order during the evening,
which is source of satisfaction to record.
Ellsworth Post, No. l9, is justly enccur-
aged at the success of the day, and will en-
deavor to make each succeeding Both day of
May more interesting than the preceding
one, and the people to see the Importance
of such an organization.

In the Benton Leader of last week we see
a criticism on what female writer in the
Oregon Oracle said of the use of tobacco
The Leader asks the question of the young
ladies, edo you wish to be wall flower
during youth, and pass your days as cid
maids?" To the last part we would ask
why not? That is a good rule, 'of two
evils chose the least" And now when wo-
men have equal educational advantages
with men, they need have no time to be
"wall flowers" (if we understand what. that
means) during youth, and to be an educated
and refined cold maid" which places her in
a position of independence, is a far more
desirable prospect than to be the wife of
dissipated man. The Leader denounces
the use of alcohol, (all honor to it for that)
but defends the use of tobacco. Surely
every one knows tobacco is the cause of
many diseases and often leads to the use of
alcohol This generation is laboring and
suffering under that fearful curse intemper-
ance, through the ignorance of ancestors
known how surely the sli ght dissipation of
their husbands and fathers would have been
transmitted tof their posterity, multiplied
and hundred fold, that they too would not
have warned and entreated their daughters
to shun those "ddictetl to the use of tobacco
as well as strong drink? The intellect,
health, happiness and prosperity of future
generations depends uron the wisdom and
discretion OF the young ladies of this gener-
alton. Then we say it is far better for
many of them to pass their days ia the
corner pettin2 poor kitty, iii necessarily
than to enter into relationship which will
probably make them miserable, and of be-
coming instrumental in transmitting an in
sserior intellect, disease and premature death
to their pns:erity. If the ''nine' young
men can't do without weed which will so
degrade and demoraize them, beside2 caus-
ing them host Of bodily ailments, would
IL pot be better for the mine" young ladies
and the world n general, if they remain
single? Let the ''tenth: establish q pure
and better state OF taings.-
It is greatly the fault of our young ladies
that so many of our young men use tobacco
or liquor. But to their credit be it said,
through ignorance. AS yet they have not
been fully instructed i'll regard to the fear
full coils growing out Of it, and the result
of such neglect is, they fail TO use all their
influence, and all the means in their power
to keep the young men from becoming dis
s;pated, or reforming those who have taken
the downward road. Girls, do your best
to reform your young men acquaintance,
but if they will rot reform, don't let them
drag you down too; but as you value your
own and others happiness in this world and
the world to come, pass them by on the
other side"

IndianoWar Volunteers.

From Col Kelsay we learn that much in
terest is being taken in his efforts to effect
an organization of the Indian fighters
Major Bruce has interested himself with
Col. Kelsay and together, with the assis-
tance of some others, they expect to be able
time of the meeting of the State Fair, or
possibly sooner. The nature of the organ
ization will be something similar to that of
the G. A. R., but this will of course be de-
termined after few preliminary meetings
have been had and the matter discussed
among themselves. The results from such
an organization would be more beneficial
than one would at first suppose. Aside
fir IN the social gatherings, camp-fres, re.
miniscences, renewal of acquaintance among
the old verterans, it is evident that an or
ganized effort would be more successful in
securing from the government the So, 5OO,-
600, or more yet due the volunteers in Ore
gon and Washington Territory. Their SER
vice has been of as much Importance to this
country as any other branch of the service,
and after having furnished their own horses
have been very reluctantly paid. No land
grants or pensions have been awarded the
Oregon volunteers in Acknowledgement of
their services in the war of 1855 and g.
Col. Kelsay and those interested with him
are to be commended ON their efforts, and
it is to be hoped they may he successful in
organizing the Indian War Volunteers.

DEATH FROM MUspERoUs INJURIES.

SA'.EM, May 2S.-Special dispatch to the
Oregonian: B. Coffey, farmer, living about
three miles from this city, died this morning
under suspicious circumstances. II seems
that on Sunday last he was in Independence.
Late in the evening he hired a nun named
small boat. On reaching the east side dis
pute arose between them as to the eompensa-
tion for so doing. Matney recrossed, and
returned brought with him two other par
ties. named Cooper and Lawrence, and the
three attacked Cofey with such severity as
to bring ON brain fever, from the effect of
which he died this morning. Coroner War
riner held an inquest to-day, and the jury
returned verdict that death was caused by
BRAIN fever, brought on evidently by illtreat-
ment received at the hands of Matney and
others. All the assauiting parties had been
drinking heavily, which no doubt was the
foundation of the whole Trouble. Parties
from Independence had. on the day previous
to the attack visited Cofsey's barn and
broke number of windows in one of his
houses, and his visit to Independence was
for the purpose of ferretting out the guilty
parties. The fact that he displayed consid-
cradle money led many to think that an at
tempt was made to rob him. The parties
have been all arrested by Sheriff Mimic, and
already lodged in Jail. A man who witness
ed THEFT attack has been held as an impor-
tant witness.
