During this season when everybody hies himself to some cool and shady spot, the poor printer is forcibly reminded of the burdens of existence. While others are basking in the shade of some friendly tree, or sporting with the trout who has attached himself to a "fly," he is secure ly imprisoned inside his nfliee, and counts with anxious thought the click of the type, for fnar at the next moment some typo with lie fear of the hereafter would raise the cry of "copy." Thus day follows day, with no hope of release, but we are assured that in the "sweet bye and bye" the wicked will cease from troubling" editors, and this per secuted class shall be at rest So mote it be. Selah: Barn Burned.- A baru belonging to Mr Albert Hendrick, on Pleasant Hill, burned Friday night, July 28th. It is not known how it caught, as no one had been near the building for several days, but it must have been the work of an incendiary. In the barn was stored about 15 tons of hay, a seed drill, etc; his entire loss being about $1500, with no insurance. Luckily Mr Hendricks had just moved his thresher and reaper to another barn.

Thinking that yon would like to hear from this, at present rather isolated place, I will say for the henofit of those seeking homes, that notwithstanding qnite a rush here of late, there is room for more settlers on government land. The lands along Tide water are mostly taken, but up U.e streams which put into ths Siuslaw river there are good bottom lauds usually covered with al der and salmon brnsh easily cleared. The bottoms along the streams will average almnt J mile wide, the hills adjoining are .susceptible of being put into grass, which af fords good pasture. The Siuslaw river is navigable for aliout 25 miles and the north fork about 8 miles. A cannery is now in course of construction with the intention of canning salmon this season. The fishing season commences here about the middle of August. A large steam saw mill is also talked of aod will probably be built soon. A vast amount of good timber grows on the vpptr Siuslaw tid Lake creek which can be easily run to any point down the river. A. R. Bl'TTTOLFH, Florence, Lane County, Oregon. Lost.

Each year must pay it own way. Io addition to this Prof Condon wa al lowed $260 a year for th nse his large and valuable paleontological t collection. This triae Library," as it may well 1 called, halt been of much service in the school aud attracted favorable attention to it from far and near, aud it was time that some com pensation was made to its owner fur its use. UNIVERSITY FOND. The conditiou of the university fund on Jnne 30, 1882, as appears by a statement furnished by the state treasurer was as fol low: Cash unloaned aud on hand, $23,. 732 12; loaned on 31 notes and mortgage $30,342 13: total, $63,074 25, interest due loans, $3,907 96. From one to three years interest is due on some of these notes; and there is a year's interest, within a few dollars, due on the whole amount loaned, while the law under which the loans are made requires the inter est to be paid semi-annually. For instance a loaa ef $800 made oa April 14, 1871, has $242 22 interest due on it more than three years. On June 30, 1880, the interest due and un paid upon thi sum loaned was $1,813 77, less than on half of what it was at th same period in 1882. It i also apparent that the rate ef inter est must be reduced, if this fund is to be kept loaned. On Jnne 30, 1881, the amount uuloaned wm .$12,159 56, something more than a fifth ef the whole amount; while on June 30, 1882, the amount lying idle was $23,722, or more than one third of the fund. I therefore renew my suggestion ef last year, that the rate of interest be reduced to 8 or 9 per centum, and that ovenlue interest bear interest at the same rate as the princi pal.. UNIVERSITY LANDS. The grant of 72 sections, or 46,080 acres of land, tor "the stse and support" of the uni versity, was made " congress ia the act of February 14, IftfO, (II Stat 338) admitting tb state into the Union. From statement furnished me by the clerk of the board of land commissioners, it appear that the whole amount of land ha been selected and 45,046.92 acre listed te the state or approved by the department of the interior, leaving 1,033.08 acre not yet so listed or approved. From the imperfect condition of the rec ords of the earlier sale of these lands, the clerk wa unable, ia the time allowed, to furnish the exact report of the lumber, of acres sold, but give the statement approxi mately a follow: Sold acre (about) 29,000 Unsold, acre ..17,080 46,080 These unsold Wads h estimate U he worth $1 60 aa acre or about $22,000, Several tract of land constituting the se curity taken ia the case of seme ef the im ororident loan above mentioned, have been bid in by the board at judicial sales, aad are bow bald by them for tale.
