He arrived at Port-land by special train Sunday mffrning at 3o'clock, and sailed on the E'der for SanFrancisco two hours later the same morning.He reached Astoria about noon Sunday, butowing to the roughness of the bar was com-

pelled to lie there until Monday morning.The Elder experienced strong head winds allthe way down, and arrived at San Fran-cisco Wednesday morning, March 12th, at10 o'clock A. M. Crossing the bay to Oak-

land, Mr. Whiteaker was placed on board aspecial train and hurled across the continentas rapidly as steam could drive him. SaltLake, Omaha an 1 Chicago were successivelypassed, and Oregon's congressman was borneto the nation il capital in triumph yesterday

arriving there at 10 A. X. Some idea maybe formed of the celerity with which Mr.Whiteaker was hurled toward his destina-tion by the run made between Omaha andChicago a distance of 500 mile3, accom-

The steady increase of our subscription isa sure indication that times are "gettingbetter" in the Gazette office, at least. Asan advertising medium the' Gazette, beingthe official paper of the State, as well as ofBenton county, possesses many advantagesnot enjoyed by any merely local paper.

Charles Brailley. In the Gazette of

Feb. 4th we published an account of the sui-

cide of Mr. Charles Brailley, almost an en-

tire stranger in this community. The par-

ticulars of .the sad affair, as far as known tothe public, are all fresh in the minds of ourleaders. Upon the first page of the Ga-

zette, to-da- will be found a letter from a

young friend of the deceased, written fromhis former home in Ohio, which seems to addto the melancholly of the sad fate of YoungBrailley, and increases the deep mysterywhich surrounds the sad and terrible affair.

Sent upon an important mission, and with

money at hi3 command, for the asking, whatcon "J have induced him, in the very primeof life, to commit such a fearful act, is be-

yond human conjecture, and he leaves notone line of explanation. In a short time,perhaps, an elder brother will arrive in Ore-

gon to fulfill the mission upon whichfUharleywas sent.

Sad News. Last Tuesday our citizenswere startled by a telegram from Eugene,announcing the death of Mr. Robert Fagan,a rising young lawyer of that place, whowas well known in our city, having former-

ly taught school here. He died, of typhoidfever, at 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning, 18thinst. the dawn of his 31st birth-day- . Mr.

Fagan was a young man of acknowledgedability, a consistent christian, respected andhonored by all knew him. Surely " Deathloves a shining mark. " Peace to his ashes.

the. county we hear that stock are sulrenngseverely from the late cold storm. Stockare generally in a very poor condition, grassis exceedingly scarce, and the trround nowbeing soft they readily mire down withoutsufficient strength to extricate themselves.

A large fir tree fell during the severewind storm on the night of the 5th inst.across the house of Mr. Starr, in Yamhillcounty. The house was completely demol-

ished, but mo3t singularly, none of the fam-

ily, all of whom were in bed, Were injuredin any way.

An indignation meeting was held at Day-ton on the 8th inst., and resolutions con-

demning the action of President Haye3 invetoing the restriction bill passed unanim-ously. At the conclusion of the meeting "R.B." and a Chinaman were burned iu effigy.

A little shooting match occurred at Ash-land the other night. Some hoodlums un-dertook to rock the cabin of Chas. Williams,a harmless old man, and one of the partyreceived a load of fine shot as he was aboutdeparting from the scene at double quicktime for his pains.

The Union Sentinel says : The loss of3tock in this (Graid Ronde) valley is com-paratively light,' as most of our farmers andstock raisers had sufficient feed prepared tocarry them through safely, and there can' beno' doubt of increased demand- - for stockduring the coming spring, so that tho3e whohave exerted themselves in prepariu' feedwill reap their deserved reward.

Coming Already we notice many stran-

gers in our midst, attracted hither by thefact that we are certain to have railroad con-

nection at Corvallis in the near future. Mr.

Harry Penn, of Jackson county, a practicaltinner, was here a few weeks since, lookingout a location for starting in business. Hereturned last Monday, and has deckled tolocate in Corvalli3, and will bring his familyhither in about two months. What weused now is a few more business and dwell-

ing houses. In less than 90 days there willbe a great demand for houses. Judgingfrom present indications, Corvallis will, dur-

ing the comming summer and fall, hi one ofthe liveliest little places in Oregon. Thefew days of sunshine we have enjoyed,seems to give new life and activity to everybody. The junction of the West side withthe Willamette Valley and Coast railroad,fully opens a bright future for our own lov-ed "Heart of the Valley."

Railway trainsyesterday took to Temisvar about 5,000 fug-itives, while 500 people went by steamer toSzegentes. Engineers and soldiers are busywith their relief pontoons and' boats; therebeing still great need of them. The emper-or has contributed a further sum of 10,000florins. Of 9,700 houses in Szegedin, all ex-
