Christmas Day In Corvallis.

A Corvallis exchange says that
Christmas was not a day of flowers
and tunshine In Corvallis. The winds
that blew were not zephyrs, and they
carried with them no perfume from
blooming clover fields. The crlckets
did not chirrup at evontlde, nor the
robins trlll a merry lay I'm the old
apple tree. The swallows did no
twitterlng in the sunshine. nor did
the whip-poor-wil make his high
dive at the time when the stars we're
due to peep out. On the contrary
the old ccw had a hump in her back
and the old inhabitant had one in
his'n. The winds moaned n grave
yard moan-let as they whipped
through leafess trees or the way
faring mans whlskers. II was one
of the wettest days this dry town has
seen In years. The downpour con-
tinued through the daylight hours,
a total rainfall OF 100 inches.
II raised the total for the month OF
December TO 1904 inches, making
1t a banner month for moisture.

London, Dec. 30-The grave al
Highgate cemetery, which is alleged
to be that of Thomas Charles Druce
was opened this morning and found
to contain the body of an aged and
bearded man. The features we're
unrecognizable, but the fact that the
coffin contained body instead
of block of lead, as declared by
the claimant of the title, George II.
Druce, is looked upon as a fatal blow
to his hopes of securing the estates
and name. The perjury charge
against Norbert Druee, who said he
saw HIS father in his coffin Is years
before the fifth duke of Portland wa
generally supposed to have died,
falls TO the ground. The atle of the
bogus funeral, told by Robert Cald-
well, of New York, is proven false
and Herbert Druce states he will
push the perjury charge against
Caldwell. Coldwell is now under
arrest in New York. The grave was
opened under the protection of an !
electric lighted shed. Curiosity /
seekers were barred and only those
concerned in the litigation were al
lowed to be present.
