this bay witnessed the highest tide fol
years. Logs that had been lying on the
tideland immovable for years were floating
around. The water overfowed the dykes,
breaking them in various places, and doing
much damage. Tillotson brothers lost
about thirty head of sheep that were run.

Frank Marshall, of Albany. was ex-
amined before Justice Holgate Tuesday af-
ternoon on charge of indecent exposure of
person, preferred by Frank Thorp, of Fair
mount precinct. Two little school children
testified as to the crime being committed,
and identified Marshall as the man. The
defense offered no testimony and Marshall
was committed to jail in default of $500
bail. The defendant had just served a ten
days sentence ia Albany Jail for assaulting
a lady school teacher when arrested and is
evidently bad one. He hes frequently
annoyed the people of Fairmount precinct
with such acts and will no doubt receive
heavy and merited sentence. E. E. Wilson
the prisoner and w. E. Yates
appeared for the state.

The day previous, while re-
moving some obstacles to navigation in the
vicinity of Peoria, the Corvallis ran on 9
.nag, and, but for the foreshought aad
prompt action of Caprain Hatch in beach
ing her, the steamer would have sunk in 90
feet of water After running her aground,
the assistance of farmers in the neighbor-
hoed was secured in baling out the vessels
hold. This accomplished, soft patch was
placed over the aperture, which prevented
the leakage sufficient to enable tae boat to
reach Corvallis, where the necessary repairs
will be made to the hull at once. When re-
paired, the steamer will again resume work
on the upper river.
A splendid specimen of gray eagle,
measuring eight feet, two inches, from tip
to tip, was shot a few days ago by Caleb
A. Davis on his fathers farm three miles
north of town. The specimen was mounted
by NJ. Fl. Kriebel and now occupies a
prominent position over the door to our
sanctum. It is female bird and said to be
one of the largest ores ever seen in this To-
cality. In preparing it, Mr.. Kriebef has
displayed deal of artistic taste and famil-.
iarity with the birds habits, it being
in q flying attitude, with wings
extended. During the season, Mr.. Kriebel
has prepared 26 China pheasants, which
have met with ready sale to travelling men
and residents of this city, who have sent
them to friends in the East. Among the
purchasers was w. s. McFadden, who sent
two of these beautiful birds to Judge Lind
sey, at Pittsburg, Pa. Judge Lindsey will
be remembered by Corvallisites as the gen
