There.are two other points 1 practiced in nearly ,11 our schools that J perhaps deserve. a passing notice. ' There .. .are usually toe many subjects taught at . -the Mine time, and the teaching is not sufficiently practical in its character. The boy of ten or twelve who is endeav , oring to master " simultaneously the dif- ; fewtit ,braTchea of reading, writing, - ';aritlaietior grammar, geography, alge tra, book-keeping, history, physiology, andr"thf natural sciences," is in a very way. to' receive an educ ition that :2Piy practical benefit to him in jEtfOtRekrs, unless . he is enabled to ' dwVctte roo-e time to their acquisition than is commonly allotted to the aver . jtge .school 'hoy. Our common -school a are . merely intended to lay broad and deep -the solid foundation upon which nay rest such an education as the pupil or nis parents may afterward afford or PIOCMTIETIONAL t . .choose to rear upon it. Anything that f1", goes beyond this is certainly subversive of -the best interests of free schools. During the time that a majority of pu pils are allowed to remain at school, it is impossible for them to receive more than a mere smattering of these numer ous .studies, which is hardly ever turned '' 10 prl ietfounl.. This leads to the second oinl. Considering that the ma jority men receive nothing more than common school training, it is lamentable to'realize how little of tbo practical en ters into it. It too often happens that the pupil who lias been "thoroughly drilled" regarding the articulation, ac cent, emphasis, inflection, modulation, "pauses and personation cannot readaplain sentence of good English either intelli gently or intelligibly; and that he who haa been "well ground" in definitions aud diagrams, analysis and synthesis, cat. not speak or write correctly half a dozen simple sentences, while it is no uncom nion.occurrence to find boys who have been "through the arithmetic" two or three times, as completely innocent of any practical knowledge of figures and accounts as if they had never seen the inside of a school-house. This is only too true with regard to the fundamental branches-of education, and it is much tnore noticeable in the so-called high branches. How nrnnv bovs nut nf n t W -e,l . k. sand are benefitted one iota fioin the . -precious time spent in the study of ''the ' natural sciences," of which we hear so j much in these days. Sufficient attention is n,ot paid to giving our youth an edu cation that will be of practical advan tage to them in the business oi life. Thoroughness in the elementary branches - is not sufficiently insisted upon. Now, there is a remedy at hand for this deplorable condition oi affairs. Ev ery parent and guardian should see to if that the pupils under their corftrolare taught that which will be of practical benefit to them in the business of life, and that they are taught this thoroughly and well, before devoting the days of their golden opportunity to the acquisi tion of those "airy nothings" that evap orate immediately upon contact with the world outside of the school-room. A3CM.'KS LETTER. Pu the first page of this issue we give Hancock's letter of acceptance of the nomination for President of the United State It merits a careful perusal from men of all parties. It iR at once candid, concise, comprehensive aud pointed. Jt . hat jthe true democratic ring to it. It betokens a wind familiar with the prin ciples of true constitutional government. It .carries conviction of self-reliance and honesty of puqiose. It betrays no weakness, or doubt, or vacillation. It ia bold in the consciousness of right and : strong and fearless in the uprightness of nthft cause of which it ie an exponent true deinocracv. f LSH. .AJ1 bur laws should be observed,..' The fact of the.evst-'nte of si strong tempta tion to evade pr defy ft' law should only call forth a more watqhful .respect for its behests. t Our fcVhand agnate hve re ceived legislative attention "here .and in V. T., and it is becoming that all jjood citizens attend to their enforcement. .A .society has been organised at Walla Walla to carry out these measures, and .they ofl'er a standing reward for informa tion leading to the conviction of the par ties violating the same. This has deter red .parties there, but the complaint is now made that parties of the Territory simply come over the State Line to the W. V. or Umatilla River, an'i there un hindered ply their law-breaking avoca tion with impunity. Now this must not be. Every sense of right , forbids such conduot. Our self respect as a state i should emulate as not to be a stumbling block or reproach to our neighbors. Aside from law, our best interests are subserved by measures for protecting the fish. We give a portion of the law on this subject : , Sec. 697. "It shall be unlawful for any person or persona, at any time, to place, or use, in any of the streams or rivers of this state, any drugs, charms, or powder, or to use any giant-blasting or gun-powder, or other explosive material, for the purpose of catching, killing, or destroying fish; and any person violating the provisions of this section, shall be fined twenty dollars for the first offence, double that sum for the second, and treble that sum for each succeeding of fence, to which may be added imprison ment for any time not exceeding ninety days.". S-c. 698. "It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, to place in any fresh-water stream, lake, or pond, any lime, or deleterious substance with intent to injure fish, or any drug, or medicated bait, with intent to poison or catch fish; and any person offending against the pro visions of this section, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon con viction thereof, shall be fined in any sum not less than one hundred dollars, and not more than five hundred dollars, or be imprisioned not less than, five, nor more than ninety days, at the discretion of the court." CITY HALL, Weston is to. have a City Hall. One day this week Mr. I. T. Reese called up on our citizens to ascerta'n their ideas on the subject. In the course ot an hour or two 80,000 brick were subscribed to. wards the accomplishing of the scheme. Since that time lumber and labor have been subscribed to such an extent that tho City Coup.ci'., in whose keeping all this is to bo placed, can hare no hesitan cy in proceeding with the work immedi ately. The building is to be a two story brick 30x60 ft. The site selected for it is on the cor. of Main and Broad 'Streets. The: grounds needed for this purpose have been kindly donated to the city by the Hartmait Estate. The lower story is to be suitably arranged for convenient offices for the Kecorder, Marshal, &c and ood "partment for the use of the City v PIr P" I fpnated for a library and reading room, i a want of which toss i lo8 !,een tAt- The alacrity and liberal- j it v with which onr citizens responded so handsomely to the furtherance of this laudable object, is but another evidence of that energy and enterprise for whi h our city is to justly noted. The City Council have already in the Treasury sufficient funds togather with what has been subscribed to complete the Hall in good fhae. We hope that no time will be lost in commencing this work and that they will make it at once a credit and an ornament to our cityt Is the San Francisco Bulletin of the 27th ult, appears a dispatch from New York announcing the death of the mother of Senator L. F. Grovcr at Bethel, Maine, hgf:d 89. Mrs. Grover frequently said it was her only concern to live and die alone. She was closely watched by her neighbors, yet she had her wish. She was last seen alive on Saturday when' she entered her house. That she was not seen Sunday was not strange; but as there was no indication, of activity Monday morning, two neighbors went to the house, and finding the entrance fastened, they raised the window of her bedroom -and found the venerable lady on the bed with her clothes on and life departed. On the stove were a pot of tea and dishes of gruel and ginger tea. The London Standard of August IsS reports that $190,000 of gold have been purchased in open market for export to America. H02I CEVTEmnXLE. Centerville, Oregon. July 31st 1880 Editors Leader: The folio wing spec ial order is going the rounds of the prw: Hd'qitarters Union Veterans' .Union, Boys in Blue, New York July 22, 1880. General Order No." 1. The member' for each State of the National Commit ,tee of the Union Veterans' Union will at once proceed to organize the Boys in Blue in their respective States to pro mote the election of Garfield and Arthur.

In 1870 while Grant was president he issued a similar order to the truly loyal of Missouri to save that State from the liberal Republicans and the Democracy when they were led in revolt against radi cal proscription and tyranny by.B. Gratz Brown and Carl Schurt ' The resntt was that' the people elected Brown governor by a majority of -more than forty thou sand and the party Grant was trying to save went down into the vortex of rum beyond the hope of a resurrection, as the sixty thousand democratic majority of Missouri well attests. If the "old man" ver issued such an order as the dispatch tells us of it is quite as presumptuous as the one issued ten years ago and will be attended with the same happy result The Rads are on the ragged edge. .

United States than any other country" on the globe, and yet, nowhere on earth does the business afford so small a profit in the aggregate, as here. The trouble is that we burn too much property. It is said that the girl who can sit end j talk to a young man for an hour, when a flea is blazing its way around her waist, under her corsets, after she ia married will jump up and down and yell under like circumstances. An idea of the enormous populatien of China may be derived from the fact that the single province of Fooken con tains as many people as the whole of the United States. It is undoubtedly a fact that smaller and younger boys ride larger horses in this city than in any other place in America. A three-year old boy on a sixteen hand horse would be a novelty anywhere else. Gazette. A Democratic mass meeting was held last Wednsday night at the Academy of Music, New York, presided over by Gov.
