ANOTHER BUSINESS FIRM.
The Carriage Factory in use Once
More. and a New Stock Yard
Opened.

Another business industry has
sprung into existence in Corvallis,
and the old carriage factory. or that
part of it remaining in this city, is
to be put into active service. Bodine
& Peck is the name of the new
firm, and the proprietors hail from
Linn county. A warehouse and
stock yard have been opened up at
the carriage factory site, and all
kinds Of grain and produce will be
stored for anyone wishing such ac-
commodation. Scales for weigh
ing stock are on the grounds, and
hay, oats, chittim, barley and 9TH
er produce from the farm will be
bought by the firm. No more at
tractive town for a home can be
found in the Willamette Valley
than is Corvallis, and gradually
people are coming to a realization
of this fact. with a resultant in
crease in the population and bust
ness activity.

number of hose are allowed to run all
night there is little water left in the tank
by morning. Should there be fire,
which is liable to occnr any night, there
would be but little water for the occasion
and if there was there would be no force

SAVED THE BABY.
A Little Girls Heroism-The Home and
its Contents Were Burned.

The story is told by neighbors OF
the heroism of little girl who re.
sides with her parents in the vicini-
ty of George Mercer's, a dozen mi
les or more southwest of Corvallis.
The family is named Manning, and
the members of it are compar-
ative new arrivals in the country.
They own and occupy farm pur-
chased of Jerry Henkle by Mr.. Tim
mons and family, who returned to
Missouri some time ago, after a re-
sidence of a year or SO in Benton.
The father and mother, according
to the story, were absent from
home, the mother having gone a
mile distant to the neighbours on
an errand. The little babe and her
sister, the latter of whom is describ-
ed as but few years of age, were
the only occupants of the house.
During the absence of the parents.
the building caught on fire, and
with its contents was burned to the
ground.
But the babe was saved. The lit.
tie sister discovered the flames In
time, and seizing the infant in her
arms, she carried it out of the house
and made her way to the neigh
bors in safety. where she recounted
to the alarmed 1istners. the story of
what had happened at the home.
The incident occurred several days
ago.

FRIDAY, JANUARY % 1874.
the GOLDEN PERIOD OF LIFE.

We have been led to believe that
time does not deal kindly with age.
AS a man grows old his eyes grow
dim, his ears lose their hearing; his
touch becomes less acute; his teeth
decay; his limbs tOtter and his func-
tions gradually lose their vitality.
Aet We have just read in q medical
journal that from fifty to seventy
ought to be the best part of a mans
life. This writer, DIR. G. 5. Carr, of
Columbus, Ohio, says that man
after fifty years is capable of more
mental work and sometimes even Of
more physical work than before. His
judgments are truer, bis experience
has taught him a great many things
he can never learn in college, and if
he conducts himself wisely, the best
mart of his life is before him. Every
thing conspires to make a man more
useful, and happy, and cOntented,
Freed from the tOrtures of ambition,
and the screenings of lust and greed,
the years between the ages of fifty
and seventy are the golden days of
his whole life.
Mr.. Carr's words are certainly en-
couraging aud we are glad to know
that we have only fairly entered upon
the golden era Of life.

JENNINGS TRIsUTE TO GORDON

One of the most touching and elO-
quent speeches made in Atlanta at
the funeral of Gen. Gordon was the
one delivered by Governor Jennings
of this state.
The Atlanta papers paid him high
and eloquent praise.
That our readers may pass judg-
ment on the speech for themselves,
we produce it here.
The governor said:
''In the days when the war clouds
hung dark over the country, among
the very brightest Of the stars that
shOne over the blood. drenched land
one bore the name of "GOrdOn," and
when peace stretched out her hand
and babe the world be still, GOrdOn's
star still beamed undimmed by the
smoke of battle or the mists of the
field. He led his people on the dead
ly field and when there were no more
legiOns 20 lead in battle front, he
led them in the ways of peace, and
to him, more than to any other man,
do we owe the kindly feeling that
today prevails between the people of
the north and the people of the south.
Fearlessly he told his own people
the truth, and by the magnetism of
his presence won them to think and
feel with him. He took the olive
branch of fraternal union in his hand
and with the same dauntless spirit
that moved him in battle he called
the people of the north to look and
to listen; soon the story he had to tell
found its way deep down into their
souls and they offered him their
friendship. Twas then he said, eff
you take me To your hearts, you must
take my people, too, for l am theirs
as they are rhine, and cannot and
will not fOrsake them in the hour of
need; ;" and the great heart of the
north felt the truth of his story, and
feeling, loved the south for its splen-
did son.U
