We clip the follow iug correspondence from tbe Daily Oregnnian of Saturday, Feb 17th: EniiNK, Ftbiuary 13. This town u favored with a ite of extra ordinary beauty. It ia located in an amphi theater bounded by mountain that cat the clear atmosphere with a hor.ion of every ouliue. The broad area thus enclosed is a fertile plain, interspersed with conical hills and peak that (re pyramidal, all crowned with vegetation, which on the distaut range bristle in lofty dr tree. The Willamette river flow along the margin of the city, add ing greatly to the char.us of the landscape. The most conspicuous edilice iu the town i the uoiversity, a brick building, which provide rooms for recitations, cabiiiet and library. The student rind accommodations in th homes of the citizen. A donation of fifty thousand dollars, riade by Mr. Villard, who had previously gives several thousand. ha placed tlii institution upou a permanent foundation. To this hu been added a State tax of one-tnnth of a mill. Theae resources together, with tuition, fee aud interest on the endowment previously invented, make up the iucome of the college. This is barely equal to expense now accruing, and with the lucrcase of atudeut will be inadequate. Indeed, another buildiug, ou an extensive plan, is now almost indiogeusable, Ouratate Uuiveraity ft discharging it functions in a creditable manner. Your cor respondent ha unusual facilities for forming a sound Ppiuion on this subject, and it ia due to all psrtir concerned to express it. It faculty is composed of the following gen tlemen: J W Johnson, Mark B&ilcy, Thot Condon, George H Collier, John , Strauh, C. l-ambert. The preparatory department is under the care of Mr M P Spiller. The regeuts also (ejected two tutors Miss Lkiie eary, a graduate of Mill teuunary, . the beit eudowed. and appointed institution en this coadt; aud Mr. Emery E. Burke, grad uate of this university. No part f the Willaaiette Valley i more beautiful or fertilo than that in which Eu- uet.e ia situated. The wheat garden of Lane county bloom around it These lauds, ex uberant in fertility, are beginning; to rebel against abuse. Year after yesr, for the life time of a generation, the ataplo wheat toll hu been exacted, aud nnw the pro)u;ate tillers are being compelled to introduce a more intelligeut aud varied till Age. The fertility is uut exhauHad, but the constitu ents of wheut in the soil. A rotatiou of crops is absolutely demanded. Deeper plow- iug gives, only temporary relief. Draiuage will be a permanent benefit, but a wise hus bandry alone can restore the vigor and fecun dity of nature. Yunr correspondent met J G Gray trca: nrer of Lane county, who had jujt nude Up the annual tax due the State, amounting to fJO.000. . Nature ha made a remarkable proisi.iu for supplying thi.i town with water. The peat winch srparatea it from the . river is so i.nnea mat upon its spie or summit a rescr oir can be constructed, at au elevitiou far above the loftiest buildings; and tbo force be ififfcient to t?ircut the water in case vof fir without the interposition of engines or any other mechanical Aid. The supply of water cao le pumped up from the river hy machinery impelled by iUoivn curronc The tntiro X()eiie will bo red up; d to a point bo- w the eiicapest method vf supplyiug this udispeii9ablo fluid. The bountiful supply thus provided will make Eugene a perfect garden. It is not lacking iu horticultural tiute. Many of it home are embosomed hade aud adoruud with shrubbery. The business of this city is increasing. Thirty car loa Is of flour are now awaiting triuiKportation at tbe Eugene City mills. The company which owns this flue property is composed of Mtssr Patterson, Gray, Edris and Swu't. A furniture manufactory has been established. A traveler passing through the business streets of Eagene is favorably impressed with the fine assortment of piods exposed for sole, aud with the gen eral iur of activity. Among leading mer chants tire Messrs F B Duun, S II Friendly, 1' U Hendricks, J H McClung, A V Peters, W I'ettu.an, 8 Warsliauer. IIoveyA Ilmpph rey are Itaukers. At this sravon, as might bo expected, the town is quiet. The daily arrival and de parture of the traiu furnishes au agreeable diversion to the citizens, and gentlemen of leisure stize the opportunity to air them selves, aud the ladies share in the general exhilaration. There- is a zeal about a rail road station in the rural districts never tasted in cities. Many a greeting is ex changed, itm of new communicated, bus iness transacted, and altogether there i an interesting manifestation of our social life ou such occasion. The eveut of the past week was the dedi cation of the house of worship erected by the Presbyterians. The building provides a lecture room, study and class room in the basement, which, however, is all above ground. Over these extend th auditorium, capable of (eating 800 person. It i finished in g'od style at a cost $4350. It is veiy creditable to the citizen of Eugene that nearly three-quarters of thi sum was con tributed by them. At the dedication the church was c.owded, aud a large number were obliged to stand during the service. The clergymen of the city participated. The sermon was preached by Rev A L Liudalcy, D D, of Portland, and the solemn act of ded ication was pronounced by the pastor, 1'ev E R Geary, D I). In the historical sketch, Dr Geary paid a deserved tribute to the cit izens and church member who bad contib nted to tbe erection fund; nor were the la dies forgotten, without whose efficient help the building could not have been famished. Meter Wiu Edris, S B Eakin and W Mc Cornack are the building committee; the el ders of the congregation are, Meure Alfred Stowell, Cal? in Honna, John Straub and Robert Pattison. After the sketch, con gratulatory addresses were made by Revs , Meesr Parsons, Wooley, McLafferty and Condon. A special choir waa organized for i th:i nrcMiun under th leadership of L O ' Adair, E.q., Prof. Ouoa presiding at the organ. This eveut is worthy of notice aa ao illut tration of tha publio spirit displayed by one of our interior towns the whole property being set apart to it (acred use entirely free from debt Dr Geary, in a fine spirit and with eloqaeot utterance, expM-med their gratitude to a few liberal friend iu Port land, by whose generous donation all in debtednes was avoided.

The first production of thi fascinating drama filled every aeat in New Market theatre Monday night, and it met the full expectation of all who witnessed it. There is enough of the comedy iu it to make it rich and racy, and greatly relieves the te dium of the tearful drama. The talent em ployed in tbe production of thi play is first- class, which is an assurance of it faithful representation. Leslie Allen, as the old North Carolina farmer, i a perfect type of that character. Mis Viola Allen Dortrav the peculiar emotions of the situation with lite-like reality.

Expelled. We understand that at least one student waa expelled from the State University fo' violating the rule by partak ing of "the ardent" at the recent fire, while several were reprimanded. We suppose that hereafter the student will be more careful in violating rule of the institution. "Slow.Talei.io" Nichols.

Barlow, at Barlow's Station, Clacke mas county, in a communication, write as fol lowtt Fall sown wheat In thi (action of th coun ty, I think, ia pretty well cooked, though it wa a very cold roast But this is not th first time wheat has been killed by tbe frost, and as 1 bav had soms experience in tbe business, I will give ft to you for th benefit ef your au merous readers, or to whom it may concern. The fall of 1853 1 had a field of fifty acre well summer-fallowed aud (own early, and a nner stand and growth I have never seen. But that winter was very much like thia-very cold and no snow, but not to much high water. In the spring there wa not a live stalk or root in the field, but the ground was a lose a a pile of (lacked lime. I had no spring wheat It wa then th last of February. I walked ever the field, pondering what to do. I had ordered my men to get out the plow and team and come on to plowing. I met them aa they were earning Into the field, and said, "Stop, gn back to the barn and prenare ninety bushels of heat for sowing." The next day I commenced S 'wtng. I think it was on the 28th of FebrU ary. I know it waa the 4th day of March fiulshed. That harvest I threshed 49lj bushsla of as fine white winter wheat as ever grew, for each and every acre in the field, and there was at least five acres fell down that we never cut or tried to save, only by turning the hogs ia the field., 'They saved it in a manner that paid ta about aa well a if I had cut and threshed it, as pork was 121 cent a pound that year, but that bad nothing to do with the wheat I only irlve this aa an instance to show how much more wheat there would have been to the acre, and how it is possible we may make money by this freeze yet I know a freeze, where mound la fall plowed, 1 a good at a heavy coat of dressing. Now I am going to do the tame tldug over again, on the tame field, but net summer-fallowed, and if it ia a good season I expect to get ten bushels more to tbe acre than if it bad not frozen out I give this as my experience of that year, and what I will do this year if the elements will let me.
