NORMAL SCHOOL.
We are in receipt of the circular of the
Oregon Normal School, Monmouth, Oregon,
for 1870 neatly printed from the Unenger
office. Faculty : T. F. Campbell, Principal;
D. T. Stanley, Prof. Moral Philosophy and
Physical Science; J. E. Fenton, Prof. Math
ematics ; M. L. Noftsger, Prof. English
Language and Literature ; D. T. S'tan'ey,
Seeietary of the Faculty. "The work of
the Normal School, is (.specially that of pre
paring teaehers for the duties of the class
room, either in grade I schools or colleges."
The need of such a school lias been long felt
in Oregon, and we are glad to know that
persons intending to prep ire themselves as
teachers can have the benefit of such an in
stitution. The present year wiB embrace three term's:
the fust begins Feb. 3d, 1870; the eexrad,
April 14th; the third. June 23d. A vaca
tion' of one week will be given between the
Second and third terms. Students can enter
at any time, but the first day of the term is
by far the best time to enter. Tuition per
te rn, 310. Janitor's fee pep term $1. There
ar no extras. All the classes are free to ad
stu lents. For particulars address the Secretary.
Why ToratKSTfcD Thus? Last Friday
two extensive Chinese dens, or wash-houses,
were removed to the immediate vicinity of
the Gazette office one across the street,
hi front, and the othi r three or four doors
below. The fumes from these places, next
summer, will be fearful, Unless some mflfc
effective system of sewerage is adopted. If
we must be cursed with such dens, can't we
have an ordinance requiring them to be either
oil the river or some of tne hick slrects?
Why al ow them to monopolize front street,
and thus breed contagion !

The bone-yard, so called, is a kind of

berhai'S. entirely so. Some are bemnnhaj
to decay, while others are partly petrified.
Some human bone3 have been founll ; one
perfect skeleton that measured something
over G feet., and oiie j w-bone that would
pass over the jaw of an ordinary sized man
quite easily.
In a collection gathered by Mr. Dillard,
of Summer Lake was the upper bone of the
leg or arm, 2i feet in length, broken off at
each end just above where it began to swell
for the joints. This bone measured 12 in
ches jn circimference at the smallest place.
Alsi a ra lias or curved bone of the arm 2
feet in length ; teeth, resembling the jaw
teeth of man, 4 to 5 inches in circumference,
and a vertebra, 5 by 7 inches. A shoulder
blade was brought into Silver Lake 38 inch
es in length, broken off in the thinner part,
where it was J of an inch thick.
This singular deposit has been visited by
some from the Willamette valley, among
whom was ex-Guv. Whiteaker, who, I un

worth visiting. Pearl.

The Yakima Settlers. For the first
e since the commencement of the Indian
roubles, in this an I neighboring territories,
we find the people oi the disturbed section
of country depending upon themselves.
The action of the sheriff of Yakima county
in the late troublss is mu;h to be commend
ed. Heretofore during an Indian alarm the
everlasting cry has been for "troops, more
troops," while at the same time the errantrj
towns were crowde I with any number of
well-armed men, who thought of everything
but doing the work themselves, and con
'tinted themselves by loafing around salooiis
and abusing Gen. Hownr.l for not doing im
pc ssibililies. The conduct of some of these
settlements has btea nothing less than dis
graceful, brave men were the exception
that, according to logic, proves the rn'e.
The actions of our brave fellow citizens in
Yakima county are in startling contrasi
with other portions of our exposed frontier
and proves them to be possessed of courage,
judgemrnt and determination to pursue to
the death the murderers of their friends and
relatives shot down in cold blood at the
threshold of their very doors. Let the good
