upon such a condition of affairs. There
IS genuine work upon the part of the
greater portion of the scholars, and the
teacher is laboring faithfully to do his
duty to his school. But he has too
many pupils; too many recitations to
hear-and the corroding cares and
anxieties that such task involve are
leaving their marks upon his counten-
ance. While here, Mr.. Merton, a di-
rector of the district, came in, and
seemed to take a deep interest in the
welfare of the school. School closed,
and | accompanied Mr. Elliot, the
teacher, to his home, where a warm and
palatable supper was in waiting. Here
I remained over night, and for the kind
hospitalities received, the writer feels
deeply indebted to Mr.. and Mrs. El-
liot.
Morning dawned, but not clear-the
elements were disturbed. The rain
was battering against the side of the
house with fearful force. The wind
was making sad havoc among the trees.
In short, it was regular Nebraska

huge logs that the storm had thrown
in my way, and padding through mud
and water of varying depths, reached
in safety the great city of Vancouver.

WASHINGTON TERRITORY COLONY.

WASHINGTON TERRITORY COLONY.
The 5. +. Call of March 18th says:
"About the lst of March eighteen
families arrived in San Francisco on
their way to new colony on Puget
Sound, the place having been selected
by delegates sent out last winter.
Their destination is Greenfield, new
township recently located in Snoho-
mish county, Washington Territory.
Some of these immigrants departed
ON the steamer Dakota on Monday,
and the remainder left yesterday on
the Oregon for Portland. These col
onists are members of large associa-
ton called the Kentucky colony,
which originated in Hopkins county,
Kentucky, last year. The eighteen
families are the advance guard of the
colony. The association consists of
l50 families numbering between 700
and 500 persons. The main body of
the colonists is expected to arrive in
this city some time in July. There
are twenty-six families in San Fran
cisco who have organized and made
arrangements to join the colony.
Immediately after arrival upon the
ground next summer, the coming
immigrants propose to commence the
manufacture of boots and shoes, and
to erect tannery, lumber mill and
grist mill. The site of the new town
is opposite the island of Cameno."

School Matters.

On the 9th inst. | left town for the
purpose of visiting some schools in the
country. / travelled on foot, and being
blessed with plenty of sole surface was
enabled to navigate with fair degree
of speed. l had started for Fourth
Plain, but when about half way there
found crazy little frame school house
by the wayside, where the curling smoke
from the chimney indicated that a
school was in session there. | went
in-found twelve little bright-eyed ur-
chins busily engaged with their studies,
and presided over by Miss Ida Hurt
of Brush Prairie. The school was very
quiet, and the interest and mental ac-
tivity manifested were greater than
are generally found in our schools.
Miss Hurt is quite young, has had but
little experience in the work; but her
success thus far goes to prove her well
calculated for the pursuit she has
justly chosen. But l pressed on
and Just as the sun had reached the
zenith | opened the gate in front of
the residence of VIM. Douthit, and soon
was comfortably seated before a blaz-
ing fire within. Dinner was announced
and, on invitation, the writer was soon
seated by the table and partook with a
liberal hand. Mr.. Douthit is an ar
dent friend of good schools, and having
several neighbors who cherish similar
views upon this subject, the cause of
education is not likely to be neglected
in that neighborhood.
l again renewed my journey and af-
ter about an hours travel arrived at
the school house on Fourth Plain. This
is large frame and commodious build
ing, and well adapted to the purpose
for which it was built. 1t is located
at the edge of the green timber on the
west side of the plain. From here the
Cascades are in full view. The cragged
sides; the deep ravines; the dark lines
Of dense forests that mark the courses
Of winding streams and characterize the
foothills, can be distinctly traced;
while those towering peaks clad in the
yarb of eternal winter render the
scenery sublime. Turning from this
beautiful view again enter the school
room, and find striking contrast be-
tween it and the one l had visited
EARLIER in the day. Fifty scholars are
now before me instead of twelve

Newspaper Decisions.

I. Any person who takes Il paper regularly
from the post-Oflice, whether directed in his
name or anothcrs, or whether he has sub
scribed or not-is responsible for payment.
T. If a person orders his paper discontinued,
he must pay all arrears, or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
then collect the whole amount, whether the
paper Is taken from the office or not.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers and periodicals from the post
Office, or removing and leaving them uncallcd
for, is prma facia evidence of intentional
fraud.
