The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1894-01-05

ssLittle hatchet" Paul is to be commended
for the assiduity with which he applies him
self to the prosecution of his studies in voice
culture. His name appears on the pay roll
of this Office and he reports with great reg.
ularity-on pay day. We too ''dearly love
lord" to venture reprimanding the future
tragedian We fear, however, he is in
danger of wondering off into comic opera.
If Bill Hairless don't keep away from this
office he is going to get hurt. He came
in here the other night with his big feet
and stepped on Gazette" our pet dog.
She already had her tail cut half off and
now her hind leg is crushed, which caused
her going into hospital for repairs. An ed
itor can stand good deal, but when fellow
comes in and walks on our dog, we draw
the line.
A young Corvallis business man had oc-
casion the other day to visit our neighbor
city Eugene. Arriving at Albany on
his return trip, he stepped off the train to
change cars, but didn't change, and not un.
til Jefferson was reached did his mistake
become apparent. He should have a guar.
dian appointed to serve in the capacity of
railroad guide, when he has occasion to travel
in the future.
The claim of Annie Long against the
Friendly estate was garnished this week on
an execution from Lane county. The exc.
cution was issued ON Judgment obaained
by E. P. Coleman against John Long for the
sum of $l73 and costs and interest from
June, 1891, which now amounts to about
be made to set aside the interest of Mrs.
Long in the claim attached, on the ground
that 1t rightfully belongs to her husband
and that the assignment made by Long to
her was fraudulent.
''God bless the man who first invented
Sleep" so Don Sancho Panza said and SO
says Albany. They had quite fire down
there the other light, but seemed unaware
of it's existance. Officer McLagan, as us.
nal at his post of duty, noticed the light
and suggested to Carl Hodes, at the tele-
phone exchange, that fire was raging in
Albany, who in turn notified them that the
town was burning. Had an Oregon Pacific
train been handy, the Corvallis fire depart
ment would have taken their apparatus
down and put it out and thus avoided
awakening the tired people of that sleepy
town.
The editor of the Echo.Leader has re.
ceived charming Christmas present su-
perb in artistic value. 1t is painting of
"Mary's Peak, situated in the Coast Range
about fifteen miles from Corvallis, and the
work was done by Mrs. Wallis Nash for
the Episcopal church at Corvallis. We
learn that Mrs. Nash is doing noble work
in this line to elevate the popular taste.
The painting is a rare gem in its conception,
delicate and artistic in TASTE The work
suggests culture and refinement that should
be highly appreciated and generously re.

Mr.. J. R. Beegle, foreman and associate
editor of the Hillsboro Independent, was
married to one of the fairer sex in that city
last Sunday, we are informed. J. r. had
an experience while enroute to the last meet
ing of the national editorial association in
Chicago which Col. johnson and other COM
rades of that trip delight to relate, and if it
is true that he has taken this important
matrimonial step it will not be fair to pre-.
sumo that another occasion for a ''josh" of
the kind will be presented. We wish Mr..
Beegle and his fortunate bride all happiness
and prosperity due to faithful members of
the profession.
