The Salem Statesman is informed by Mr.
S,arkwcather, Register Of the Land Office
Oregon City, that considerable portion Of the
land claims in Oregon do not conform to legal
subdivisions, and consequently no patent will
be issued to such claimants until their claims
are amended and made to conform TO the re.
quirements Of the law, whether they are certi.
fed to or not.
These ileealitics, as explained by Mr.. Stark.
weather, are general oil over the State and
Washington Territory, and will involve great
difficulties if attempted to be changed into legal
form. Mr.. S. thinks that fair representation
Of these difficulties to Congress by the citizens
Of Oregon and Washington Territory will se-
cure an act Of relief and prevent vast amount
Of trouble to the people interested.
The informality most general is square
forty lying on both sides Of section line, and
a long forty, one-eighth mile wide and bali
mile long, neither Of which is admissible. It
is easy to see that change Of the lines at this
time would involve universal embarrassment
and considerable loss Of land. The attention
Of those concerned is called to the necessity of
petitioning Congress Immediately for a law le.
galizing such claims as have been made.

From the latest advces, it would seem that
Hon. Geo. L. Cole is not wanting in attention
to the interests Of bis constituents. Though
Congress has barely commenced its labors, and
as yet perfected no legislation for tho country
at large. be appears to have found means ia
introduce to its notice several measures, and
among them the following:
To endow military professorship in the
University Of Washington Territory; which
was read first and second time and referred
to the Committee on Military Affairs;
To amend an act entitled "An act donating
public lands to the several States and Terrific.
ri's which may provide colleges for the benefit
Of agriculture and the mechanic arts" ap.
proved July Cd, 1862; which was read first
and second time, and referred to the Commit.
the on Public Lands and
70 create an additional Land District in the
Territory Of Washington.
lfhe will follow this up by continued industry
in behalf Of his constituents, there will bo :. a
right smart chance" Of his re election. By bis
works he will be judged.

REGULATIONS FOR LENT IN THE Do
CESE .lE NIAQUALl.N.

I. All week days Of Lent from Ash Wednes
day doth Of Feb uary) inclusivcly, till Eastel
Sunday exclusively, are fasting days of oh iga
ti0ns, on which only one fall meal is allowed
a cup Of tea or coffee, with small piece o.
dry bread, is allowed in the morning, and Q
moderate collation. in the evening
2. The precept Of fasting implies that Of ab.
Stinence from flesh meat. But, by dispense
ton, the use Of flesh meat is allowed in this
diocese, once a day on all Mondays, TUESDAYS,
and Thursdays of Lent except Holy Thursday
and at every meal on all Sundays. BY the
for, going diSprnsation, then, there remain ouly
three days Of abstinence every week Of Lent,
the Holy Week excepted.
8. The rules Of fasting would be broken by
taking the full meal any considerable time be.
for0 noon without sufficient cause.
T. The use Of flesh meat and fish at the same
meal is prohibited.
o. There is no prohibition to use eggs, bu ter,
cheese and milk. Lard may be used in pre-.
pairing fish and vegetables on all days of Lent.
This dispensation extends to oil days Of absti.
nence throughout the year. r.s.
0. The Church dispenses from fasting (but
not from abstinence, except in special cases oi
sickness or the like) the infirm and valetudina.
rians, nurses and pregnant women, those who
are not twenty years Of age, such as are obliged
to make long and painful Journeys and voyages,
and all who, by fasting, would be rendered un
able to discharge the duties Of their employ
ment or would endangcr their health. All
such persons, however, ought to supply the fast.
ing by good works.
" Z. The spirit Of the church is, that fasting
and abstinence be joined with aims, fervent
prayers, and good works, according to each
ones ability. For Prayer is good with fasting
and aims, more than to lay up treasures Of
gold" said tbs angel to Tobias, xii, s. The
praseworthy practice Of saying the Rosary
every day in each family is particularly recon-.
menicd.
8. Fasting and abstinence ought to be oh.
served with pentential spirit; that is, with a
deep sense Of the guilt Of our sins aud hearty
sorrow for them, with sincere desire to return
TO God, and readiness to perform the satislac-
ton We owe Him for all our trespasses. Fast.
ing and abstinence in this spirit cannot fai. to
move God to mercy in our regard.
O. According to an indulgence Of our Holy
Father the Pope, Plus TX, the seamen aud sol.
diers in the U. S. service have only six days Of
abstinence during the year, viz Ash We'ines
day, the three last days Of the Holy Week, the
vigil Of the Assumption Of the B. V. NJ, and
the vigil Of Christmas.

TnE CHANGING SESTMESr.- The fact tha,
public sentiment in England is fast changing in
favor Of the North, has recently been exsmpli
fed in remarkable manner. There have been
several elections for members Of Parliament,
lately, in various parts Of the kingdom, and in
every instance the rival candidates have gone
before the people solely on the American quvs.
ton, no matter what were the local interests
at stake. Il Is gratifying to learn that 10 every
case the man who avowed himself friend Of
the North was elected. Itis fact that speaks
volumes OF the true sentiments Of the English
people towards this country. The aristocracy
may sympathise with the South, but the great
mass Of Englishmcn are friends Of the North.
Henry Ward Beecher, during bis short stay in
England, did good deal to help this feeling
along There is no longer chance for quar-
rel between mother and daughter Blood Is
thicker than water, though appearances in our
relations with England have sometimes seemed
To falsiiy the old adage. 5as3g4i 'Fd 9tsd

THE LEGIsLATURE.

The members Of the eleventh session Of oui
Territorial Assembly may at least claim the
distinction of being the best abused body o.
legislators that has yet convened at the Capt.
tai. The wholesale denunciation INDUCED in
by some Of our cotsmporaries may be deemed
good policy, but we are compelled to confess
our obtuseness in discovering either the JUS
tice or policy oi such course. What is the
end to be accomplished' That there were
some measures enacted only calculated to ben
eht the few, and many of interest to the Terri
tory at large passed over is doubtless true;
but what legislative body is free from this
charge? Has no good "come out Of Nazareth y
If the Legislature effected no other good, dur
ing the session, than arresting the demoralzInG
effects Of Legislative divorces, it would, in our
estimation, have merited the thanks Of the
community. The record, however, contains

TUa.BoArs.-"lt 1t never rains but 1t pours, "
Is an adage that applies with some force to the
construction Of tug.boats on Puget Sound.
Uutil few months ago, the only tug-boat Of
value on tho Sound was the Resoiute, belonging
to Mr.. G. A. Mcigs, Of Port Madison. Recent.
ly three new boats (all Of which have been
mentioned in these columns) were brought into
service, oil designed for towing; and we now
hear Of fourth about to be built by and for
the Puget Mil Go. The machinery Of one Of
the Columbia River steamers has been pur.
chased for this purpose, and was shipped few
dsys since at Portland for San Francisco
whence it is to be shipped for Tcckalet. We had
almost forgotten Wright's new boat, launched
within the past year, and also designed origin
ally, we believe, for towing. This, with tn,
one in process Of construction for Tsekalct
will make six in all; enough for the present
business Of towing logs. This speaks well iol
the condition Of the numbering interest here
which must be in a prosperous state to give
employment to so many steamers. ~. /

DEATH OF THOMAS COD.

EDITOR HERALD During the warm days Of
last summer, the hero of the following poem,
being very much disgusted with the monotony
of newspaper life, was frequently known to visit
the falls at Tumwater, and other places where
the finny tribes were known to abound, to while
away few hours in hooking up the small fry,
something after the style Of Cleopatra. Upon
one occasion, after having fished long time with
Indifferent success, he got bite, but unfortu-
nately not at the end of his rod The monster,
being very hungry, had made an attack upon his
flank, and, before he could recover bis eqYili.
brium, he fell PROSTATE on the beach. His COM
panions seeing the danger in which he was placed,
FASTENED Immediately 10 his relief and through
the influence Of stimulating beverage (not
known where the gentleman now resides) he was
restored to consciousness again. lie looked upon
his escape as miracle and decided at once to
close out his institution in the wilderness, and
move to large city down the Sound, where he
would have u wider field for bis Imagination,
and be able to manufacture gas in larger guam
titles out Of the coal taken from the sable bed
Of Squak. His plans were carried into effect,
and every breeze that now blows from the north
