i- LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS Itemized Account or Doings in Cily and Country. NORTH SALEM SCHOOL. i Shabbj', Inadequate Building, hut Excellent Work Done There. In our school reports we hnvo de voted clue spa.ee to the East Salem school, and the school in South Salem, and now wc propose to give a column to describing the condition of school affairs in North Salem. The building is pleasantly situated, with ample ground around it, and when the maples, that were set out in the spring, shall have attained proper growth, there will be refresh ing shade on all sides. But the building is incommodious and in a sad state of disrepair. Since It was built, some fifteen or twenty years a"0, the population has grown be yond the accommodation afforded, and the dilapidated, untidy appear ance within and without, does vio lence to the sense of the becoming. The taxpayers naturally feel dissa tisfied at the neglect of their wants, when so handsome and expensive a building has been put up in East Salem. During tho summer recess a thorough renovation should be made, and a room ndded to meet the requirement of that section. Joseph A. Sellwood is the princi pal of this school, and his sole as sistant Miss Maggie Cosper. In the professor's room we found thirty-five scholars present, although the aver age attendance is given at forty. Class A of the third grade were busy with a review lesson in reading, and answered with edifying promptitude and readiness a series of questions growing out of this study. Mono syllables, dissyllables and polysyl lables were dcAned ; tho character of the various accents used described, diphthongs and other orthographic peculiarities explained. B class of the same grade was then examined in geography, Idaho and Arizona being the subjects of review. The boundaries, rivers and mountains; chief towns and princi pal products were given with a read iness that showed the lesson had been well learned. Classes A and B, grade 2wero also successfully put through a review lesson in the same branch of study, class A devoting its attention to Ar izona and Alaska, and B class tell ing what it knew about tho New England states. These exercises were convincing to the visitor that the lessons aro thoroughly taught in the North Salem school, and tho faculties of the scholars so stimula ted as to profit by what they learn. B class, grade one, was then called up for a grammar lesson. Tho noun was tho object of inquiry, and its eight forms of construction given. It is complained by some philologi cal writers that the English is a grammarless tongue. "Wo have not cases enough for our nouns to ex press the various relations in which they are placed, and the indeclinable form of our adjectives, pronouns, and indeed, all classes of words, de prives our expression of many shades of mode and tense. This was shown in tho exerclso under con sideration. This examplo was given, "John strikes Robert with a stick." John is nominative, Robert objec tive, and in what caso is stick? In tho Latin it would be ablative, tho object by which a thing is done. We could hardly follow Prof. Sell- wood's class in tho conventional rules supplied by tho text book, but wo noticed that a "subjective mood" was invented to help them out of a dialectic difficulty. Tho proper use of the apostrophe, as a mark of the possessive case, was the subject of a short exorcise, and Its correct use was pretty clearly understood. MISS MAGGIE COSP.EII has an average attendance of 01 scholars, a decrease of ton during tho last month, Severe colds keep a number of hor scholars at home, and she repor.tesomo few cases of pneu monia. Her classes are B class, grade 3 A and B grade 4, and Tt aln&K. irrwrto 6. On entering this room we found A class,1 srrade 4, busy with mental arithme tic, Kimplo probloms In addition and subtraction were workod out by a prescribed formula, tho little tyros evoluing tho numerical facte from a garniture of eggs, marble, apples and Buoh like, and giving tho nwult with unanswerable precision. This s the earliest formative procaea to which the mental powers are sub jected, thUninmfiraUKeoffHOtoon tuiued in tuonuilti plication tablegiv aim and direction to the early pow ers of absorption. It was now near the noon recaJ, but a few minutes remaining to hear B class, grade 3, In grammar. These were little things, ranging from eight to ten, yet they showed re markable brightness. They gave tho parts of speech as far as adverbs very readily; would compose a seutance containing three nouns, three adjectives and three verbs as ordered. Then hey repair ed to tho blackboard arid wrote a number of sentences, paying duo care to capitals and nunctuatlon. At 11:60 the bell mnjr, tho schol ars left their seats under direction of the teacher; made a circuit of tho scnool room several times anil tucn made their exeunt without noise or confusion. The order in this school Is excel lent Prof. Sellwood is entitled to trreat credit for close attention to his duties and the gratifying results of ins labor; in Miss uosper lie lias an eillcient co-worker, who is deserving of equal commendation. In a talk with these teachers, after the school was dismissed, we found both en thusiastic in the cause of education, and their useful zeal is communica ted to tho children under their charge.

A JpimNAfc reporter is reliably In formed that surveyors are now at work above Stayton. WHILE THERE'S LIFE, ETCl There is Still an Opportunity to Secure the Removal of the Depot Site.' It is with great trepidation that the writer undertakes to broach the subject of the depot to his many In telligent readers, again, after they have seen fit to drop the matter en tirely, but he will not admit that there Is another question of equal Importance to the city of Salem, her inhabitants and future weal before them at this time. What causes the writer to resume consideration of this "interesting" subject, is the fact that ho has re cently gotten some information that he thinks concerns the people too deeply to allow it to pass unnoticed. This is that the removal of tho depot site might be secured without expense or bond to the people of Salem. Of course, it was evident, from the way business men did not turn out to tho meeting called by Mayor Murphy, one would be led to think they did not want tho site chnnged; but in conversation with several of the heaviest property owners and taxpayers of tho city, a reporter was led to believe that tho 10,000 bond asked for by Mr. Koehler, scared them oil. It is now learned that tho build ing to be erected at this city will cost upwards of seven thousand dollars, and that it will bo tho largest and best depot on the Oregon division. Work will be commenced on it as soon as possible. Now let us consider the present O. & C. time card: Overland express leaves San Francisco now at 0:30 o'clock In the evening, arrives at Salem at 8:10 o'clock In the morning, a good hour for breakfast arrives at Port land at 10:40 a. m. Leaves Portland at 4 p. m., arrives at Salem at 0:30 p. m., a good hour for supper arrives at San Francisco at 7:40 a. m. These time cards are so arranged now that the best part of tho day is given at both Portlaud and San Francisco, and passengers going to those cities may attend to a good deal of business and return on the next train. Considering this, there is no likelihood of tho present time card being materially changed soon. Considering tho fact that tho depot building to be erected hero is to bo a good sized building, could it not be made the eating house for supper and breakfast, and by chang ing tho time of tho local express trains a very little, both could be hero at dinner. Tho hours at Al bany for tho morning and ovenlng meal are out of all reason, making passengers wait too long at evening, and waking them too early in the morning. Suppose Salem, then, to bo tho eating statien: Trains would then stop here twenty minutes. Suppose the new depot were to bo erected at tho corner of Court and 12th streets: The passengers would have time to look around; seo ourstatecapltoland public school buildings, tho univer sity buildings, several handsome residences, our beautiful broad streets, and other things that would attract, and perhaps some might stop off to see more of such a pretty town. Supposo tho depot! to bo at tho old locatien: tho view Is not cheerful, no chanco for passongors to seo the city, and a very slim chanco for many to stop oil' for a further view of the city. It Is said by some who are in tho railroad swim, that if the matter could bo presented to Col. Chas. Crocker In the right light, that tho removal of tho depot could bo cosily secured. Why not send a good man to San Francisco, and seo about it? It will bo a positivo shame if tho peoplo of Salem allow tho narrow wishes of a few, who can't raise their ideas above their own porsonalitios, to hinder this enterprise. It is a questlonjof cither prosperous growth, with the depot In sight of town, or of a slow plodding future alike intliQpast. If It remains whore It is. Mother, Iteaa.

Aiuoni! the assurances of health aftorded us by tho regular discharge of the bodily functions, none is more important mm rename tnan mat which regularity of the bowels gives us. If there Is any even a tompo nry Interruption of this tho liver and tho stomach suffer conjointly with Inactive organs, and still great er mischief ensues if relief Is not speedily obtained. A laxative, abovo all cavil on, the score of min eral composition or violent effect, Is Hostettor's Stomach Bitters, ap proved by tho medical profession, and a most important item to the family materia mediea of American households. It is botanic, painless in action, and if persisted in, effect ual. Tho stomach and liver, in no less degree and no less promptly and thoroughly than the bowels, are regulated and roused by it, and it is an admirable defense against malaria ami rheu matic ailments, and a benign rem edy for kidney complaints, nervous ness and debility. Yesterday F. P. Tnlklngton, of Talkington & Aiken's saloon, caught a Chinaman named Sing, who had been working for them for two or three- years, in the act of stealing cigars, a trick ho had been at for somo time.
