OttumWa Male and Female
Seminary.

Those interested in tpis institution are ip-
formed that the next school year. will open
on Monday the ninth of September. Those
expecting to attend will do well to be pres
ent at the beginning of the term. The school
year will embrace four terms of ten weeks
each. The rates OF tuition will be So, So,
81, or So per term, according TO the branches
studied. A reduction of ten per cent. will
be made ip favor of such as pay strictly in
advance. "a
II Is our aim to afford advantages cfa
high order to such as attend our Seminary.
Thoroughness in the elementary branches
we deem of much more importance than ex-
tended attainments which are yet superficial.
The range of studies in this Institution en-
braces such as our youth Of either sex re-
auire to fit them for business, teaching, pre-
fessions, or for entering the higher c.asse in
college.
We are aware that the financial affairs Of
the community and country are such as will
lspder il difficult to sustain such an institu-
ton. We 60 on, however, unfalteringy,
resolved to do our part, and believing that
the community will do theirs. The times
are hard but our children must have bread
whatever it may cost. So, the thoughtful
parent will say they must have instruction
whatever exertion it may require.
The school will be held in the Presbyterian
Church, IN the rear Of which building is
about being erected for Recitation Rooms.
Students from the country can obtain board.
ing at reasonable rates.
The Primary Class will be continued, fo'
admission to which pupils win be required

GraYss HarhOr.

This harbor, on the Oregon coast, is at
of it:
Until recently this place has awakened
but little interest as the poiut adapted to the
formation of settlements and the building up
of II farming aud commercial community.
The United States Exploring Expedition,
as early as S4l, visited and ma e n survey
of this harbor, and the chart which that Ex-
pedtion furnished of the entrance to the
bar, and the soundngs of the channel with
in, including portion of the Chickess river,
is conclusive evidence of the fact that the
harbor has as good an entrance as has the
mouth of the Columbia river, and that the
nature and depth of the water within are
such rs to warrant the comparatively safe
ingress and egre<s of ships OF large size.
The bay is about 25 miles broad and about
80 miles long, but the greater part of this
sheet of water is shoal, and too shoal for the
navigation Of vessels of large size But cut
ting this sheet of water in various direc
tions, are channels of sufficient depth to ad-
nit of good sIoop and steamboat ma vigalion
while Immediately within the bar aud ad-
iacent to the land on the south side. is found
thirty, forty aud even fifty feet of water at
low tide. On the bar, at low tide, the least
depth reported upon this chart is eighteen
feet. The tides are known to rise here from
five to ten feet at ordinary times.
Within the last few months a town has
been commenced just within the southern
point of land, and abreast the deep water of
the bay. This town contains se> eral houses
and two or three stores, and it has also been
established as a military post where are
quartered one or two companies of United
states troops.
Bordering on the bay are large tracts of
tide lands where is found excellent grazing
for stock. Adjacent to these we find heav-
lily timbered lands, with here and there AN
opening of prairie The timber is princ-
pally tir aud cedar. The cedar is said to he
the largest and best of any found on this
coast
Several streams empty their waters into
this bay from the north. AS one ascends
these streams he will find numerous tracts of
rich bottom land which is open, and numer-
Gus prailies on the ground back from these
streams

ACCIDENT IN BuTrE.-A correspondent of
the Butte Democrat, wrtidg from Leonard's
Mill, March I8th says:
A sad accident occurred here on Saturday
afternoon last, which resulted in the death
of the head sawyer, Mr. Reuben Horton
During the temporary absence of the tail
sawyer he had run the saw through the log
three times, the screws being set for him hy
II stranger who happened to be standing by.
and the lumber thus cut off, instead OF being
remove ed was left lying on the rollers along
side the inside Of the saw After he had
thus sawed off three cuts" which were two
inches thick, six inches wide and sixteen
feet long, and three pieces in each cut, he
took hold of the top one Of the three last
pieces cVt off, which stood up eGgewise one
on top of the other, cl Sc beside the saw, and
in attempting 10 tip hem over sideways on
the rollers. they being held by the pieces
previously cut and lying there, caused the
pieces be had held of to can't" around and
instead of falling away from the sn W, which
was going at the rate of 400 revolutions per
rlnute, it fell and struck the teeth on the
back part of the saw and was brown end
wise with the force and speed of cannon
ball. The end of the piece struck him di-
rectly in the middle of the forehead Just he
low the roots of the hair. making a clean
cut through the hat and flesh of over three
inches in length, and crushing in the whole
front part of his skull aud MASKING one side
of hia face in most ghastly and horrible
manner
When he was first picked up and carried
out, which was almost instantly, he was sup
posed to be entirely gone, but he soon COM
menced breathing, and notwithstanding his
brains were oozing ont of the wound in his
forehead and kept dropping ont. he lived
about five hours bat at no time did he ex-
hihit any signs Of consciousness.
Dr. Bufum, Of Dogtown was summoned
Immediately, but soon as he sa W him pro-
nounced him past all human aid.
The deceased was we'll versed in his vo-
cation, having worked about sawmils for the
last twenty years, but, probably on account
of long practice had grown somewhat care
less. He was formerly from Michigan, lived
in Wisconsin some years and came to this
country year ago last summer from Iowa
where he leaves beloved family to mourn
his untimely end
lie was comparative stranger here, hav
ing been here from about January last, but
was man who highly esteemed hy all
who knew him. He was also a member of
