State of California arrives and Oregon sails to-morrow. Mr. Kelly picked up one of Meg ler & Co's. boats adrift on Friday with the net, wens clothing etc., on board. Last nijjht was the shortest night of the year, which accounts for so many being up so early this morning to go a trouting. The family of our friend W. B. Clark at Stony-point, Shoalwater bay, lias been visted by the hand of death. One of his dearest children was taken. Our sympathy is extended to the family. A telegram was received yester day by Mr. Powers from Rev. Dr. Lindsley saying that he could not be in Astoria to-day to preach as expect ed, but the usual congregational eerTice will be held at Presbyterian hall. Chief Barry and Officer Riley nave been once again honorably ac quitted of charges preferred against them, and now the council are em phatically of opinion that it is time such nonsense cease. Tax payers of the county think so, too. Capt. Geo. H. Johnson, of North Cove informs us .. letter of the 17th, tihat another body, supposed to be from the Republic, has been picked up and buried one mile from the beach, on high ground, about one and & half miles north of Tokes-point light. The remains could not be identified. Mr. T. A. Orcutt's new steamer Rosetta made her first appearance at the docks of Astoria yesterday. She is a very fine craft, and makes splen did time. She came over yesterday in less than one hour. Her route lays between this city and Knappton, and Gray's river and Deep-river. She lias good accommodation for passengers. m On Friday morning at 6 o'clock the bodies of two children, sons of Mr. H. S. Jory of South Salem, were recovered from the river at that place where they were drowned the night before. They had been playing on saw logs near the mill, and it is supposed that the eldest perished in trying to save the younger; aged ten and four years. Mr.Sam P.Smiley,the indomitable agent of the house of Painter & Co.. the pioneer printers furnishing house of the coast, called yesterday. Ourj late travels to southern Oregon were I in company with Mr. Smilev. Hei leaves for San Francisco to-morrow by the outgoing steamer, and we are glad to learn that his trip to Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho has been a profitable one. Advice to Immigrants. Our advice to immigrants looking for a good healthy country in which to settle is to look into the Nehalem ; vjiIIpv hpfrirA apffliticr "V neenm I them Astorians will do all in their power to have a railroad running in that valley at an early day. The soil is fertile and although the land is diffi cult to clear will be the more valuable for the excellent quality of timber found everywhere. The coal and iron hi its hills will yield an immense in come to the settler in the future. If you are not afraid of work go and take up the 1G0 acres allowed you under the new law, in the Nehalem, and clear off a home for yourself and I families, and our word for it you will never regret it. Cencerning: the Change in School Readers. Editor Astoriax : The Standard of June 19th in an nouncing the result of the vote on school books, takes occasion to pitch into the state board of education for having a vote taken at this time, and also lectures the county superintend ents somewhat for not refusing to vote at all, and thereby leaving the old books to be used for two jTears more. It then goes on to speak of the great cost of making the change, etc Now, I like to see a paper be rea sonable in its statements, and not try to make a great amount of capital where there is such a small amount of material. The trouble is, that in everj thing of a public nature, political journals can only see merit or other wise as they view the matter from a democratic or republican standpoint, while this is a question that should be considered and settled without any regard to politics whatever. I think it can safely be asserted that the necessity for change in readers and spellers at this time was as urgent as will ever be likely to uccur between the regular periods of four 3Tears. If the last legislature had not passed a law by which the state board of edu cation could order a change at any time, I suppose the schools would have been carried on until the four years had expired and the average parent or citizen would not have thought much about the matter. It is from those whose business brings them in close contact, with these books, who are as familiar with them as the business man is with his ledger, and who can see their merits or their defects as readily as a thorough sea men cm detect faults in the rigging or model of a ship, that they murmur and icmonstrances against the Pacific Coast series of readers first came. A man cm stand a good deal when he knows there is no help for it, but let a way be opened by which he can better his condition, and he will not be long in availing himself of that way. Just so it was in this case, if the legislature had not opened the way the change would not have been made, whether it was wise to amend the law I will not attempt to say, at this time. I attended the superintendents convention at Salem, not for the pur pose of voting for I could have re mained at home and done that, but to ascertain the general sentiment of teachers and others in regard to this question as far as I could, and also to obtain what information I could upon such matters in general. 1 soon found that a change in read ers was inevitable. The Pacific Coast series had absolutely no advocates, (although it appears they received the vote of two bounties at last), such being the cise the only question for us to answer was, which is the best series to substitute for them. I have not the time, nor is it neces sary, to go over all the arguments used for or against the different series of books then offered, but I think the teachers and people most interested generally will be satisfied with the se lection of the Independent series of readers and spellers. And now I would like to say a word in regard to the cost of this change, which is represented as something enormous. It sees to me that they go upon the principle that if no change had been made, the scholars would use the same books right along, whereas every parent knows that pupils are changing books continually. Just at this time there are no public schools going on in the state to speak of, and 1 think it is safe to say that when the fall or spring terms begin, over three fourths of the children will require different readers from those they used at the last term, and what is the diff erence in dollars and cents whether they have to buy a 'Pacific Coast" or an "Independent" reader. It certainly makes some difference to the child whether he gets a good book or a poor one. The fact that Bancroft & Co. , have offered to reduce the price of their books about fifty per cent, as an in ducement to continue them, gives some idea of the profits they have been making on them during the past six years, and still thev are no cheaper than those just selected, except that j as a last resort they offered to ex change the new for the old series where parties wanted the same grade of books. I am inclined to think that proposition sounds better in theory than it would work in practice. One of Vie Co. Snpts. Astoria, June SJ. 1S7V. The Ii&nd of the Setting Sun. Written for The Astoriax. The land of the setting sun! Where the wide Pacific rolls Tier swelling billows far and nigh, Like clouds against an angry sky; And its surf gives back its sullen cry, From the tropics to the poles. The land of the setting sun ! Where the wintry blasts ne'er blow, The green of the forests never fades; Sweet flow-rets ; nestle beneath their shades; And murmuring music floats thro' their glades In a tranquil dreamy flow. The land of the setting sun ! Where nature loves to dwell, In all her beauty everywhere On thy rugged mountains wild and bare; On thy sunny islets warm and fair In forest and in dell. We hail thee glorious land: Thy race is scarce begun. The land where labor reigns supreme; Where, joy and plenty smile and beam; And want and woe are but a dream, The land of the setting sun. Geo. P.
