THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HOUSE.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HOUSE.
On Monday last the board of trus-
tees of the Presbyterian church of this
city met to open the bids for repairing
and improving the church. G. r.
Morrison being the lowest bidder he
was given the contract. The spire
will be torn down and rebuilt out of
new material with the same design, the
vestibule will be rearranged SO that
there will be but one entrance and that
directly in the centre, a new roof will
be put on and then everything repaint-
ed. 1t will be very nice when COM
pleted. This church has stood in It's
present location for over thirty one
years with but very little additional
work being put on, and it now deserves
a new lot of lumber and coat Or two
of paint. The Presbyterian denomi-
nation of this city and vicinity was
founded in Sept IS, 1853, with three
members, S. K Brown, John Grubbe,
and Mrs. E. Bell Hanna, with Rev. J.
A Hanna, as the first pastor. Since
that time, DR.. Geary, H. r. Avery, A.
Simpson, w. Monteith, R. Wiley, d.
K. Nesbit, L. G. Downing, |. +.
Knowles and H. P. Dunning, have oc-
cupied the pulpit. and now in this 'S9
year finds Rev. E. J. Thompson as the
pastor. he having been in this place
nearly every Sabbath day for the past
two years, and no more highly ednca-
ted or genial person can be found
than he This is the second Presbyte-
rian organization on the Pacific coast
and was first called the Marysville
First Presbyterian church. It's en-
rolment has been nearly 400 menbers,
e ard its present membership is over 70.
1t can be said that this church has rep
resentives III Il majority of the Presbyte-
rian churches of Oregon +. H.
Piper now of Salem, was the first per-
son to unite with this church after It's
organization, also one o! the first mem
bers of the Presbyterian church in that
city. Tim Donahue, the old sexton,
was the workman who layed the brick
for the foundation of Corvallis church,
and the brick and lumber We're made
and prepared here. The old bell
which has rung nearly every Sunday
for quarter OF a century, and which
was brought around "the horn" from
West Troy, Y. Y, will take rest for
while.

VALUABLE Cow DEAD.-Prof.
Yates lost his fine COW on Tuesday
forenoon last. She had beef baited
in the yard for awhile, and then was
turned out for the rest of the day.
She had gone ont towards w. r.
Hoffnan's place and in short time
began to kick and finally fell down
dead. There was some wild parsnip
growing in the professors yard and
probably she had eaten some of it,
which caused her death. She was
valued at $75. Mr.. Yates says she
probably concluded to take her life
because he voted ''yes" ON the COW
question on the 9th inst. Prof.
Grimm thinks she died flom eating
too much clover.
