Grace Church School.

The Easter term Of the Grace church
school commenced January 10th, and
has had sixty-fve scholars upon its
roll since that time. The average at
tendance during January and Febru-
airy, was fifty, March and April the
average has been forty. The advance
ment in most Of the studies has been
good, especially in the higher grades;
but these classes have suffered from
the unfortunate habit of many parents
who allow pupils to attend at will, and
to drop ont Of their studies entirely If
they are inclined to do so; or if placed
under discipline. Such mistaken kind
ness is not only an injury 10 the en-
tire class, but is d sore trial to faithful
teachers and scholars. 4 request has
been made that the school should CON
tinue a summer session, and if suiii-
cient number can be guaranteed before
June lst II will reopen on the first Of
July. The success of the school dur
ing the past year. assures a permanent
institution which will grow in future
usefulness If it is encouraged and sup
ported as NO hope it may be.

A Launch.

The General Garfield MAS launched
at Saint Helen on Wednesday of last
week. A big concourse assembled to
see her take her first bath ia the
waters of the Columbia. Many went
on board before she was launched and
took Side which they will long re-
member. No naiad ever slipped more
gracefully into the waves than she.
The cheering was prolonged as she
swept down with her joyous freight of
human beings. She foated down
nearly opposite Columbia city before
the Gazelle brought her to, and tcwed
her up TO Saint Helen. The Gazelle
also had big crowd on board, and
old and yonng appeared To enjoy the
occasion very much. The Columbian
informs us, but forgot To say whether
the vessel is to be rigged as a ship,
bark, brig, schooner, sloop, steamer,
barge, scow or canoe.

Tualamet

We reproduce fine little poem to-
day written IN 1876, 10y Mrs. A. Da
wilson of Oswego. Tualamet island
is beautiful tract of land situated in
Clackamas county, on the west side Of
the Willamet river, between the
mouth of the Tualatin river and Os-
wego lake. 1t was formed int" an
island "a few years since by a canal
connecting the waters Of the Tualatin
river and Oswego lake; consequently
it is surrounded by the waters Of the
Willamet and Tualatin rivers; hence
Mrs. ID. originated the name Tuala-
met, 10y taking the first syllable Of the
Tualatin and the two last syllables Of
the Willamet. Tualamet should be
accented the same as hillamet.

Death Of Mrs. Paddock.

0regonian 30th: After a brief i'll
ness, the beloved wife of Bishop Pad
dock, the newly appointed bishop of
the diocese of Washington territory,
died at st. Helens hall, in this city,
yesterday morning, of typho-pneumo-
ma. Bishop and Mrs. Paddock ar
rived in this city from the east over
week ago. The fatigue, excitement
and labors, incident to the trip across
the continent, proved too much for
the lady. On arriving in San Fran
cisco, she became too i'll To leave her
room. When the steamer sailed for
Portland Mrs. Paddock was taken from
a sick bed and conveyed on board and
arrived here in very precarious state
of health. This condition, notwith-
standing the most tender care and the
bes. medical attendance. has continu-
ed Ia grow worse until death super
yened. The affiictIon is eculiarly
sad one, coming rs 1t does upon the
very threshold Of her entrance with
her husband upon a new field, and one
widely remote from all the associations
that have gathered around her life.

Horse Education.

In something written We have an
indistinct recollection uf having made
reference To a general disposition
among boys in their teens, as well as
boys Of maturer years, To enlighten
ana bless the world with their pro-
found knowledge of the horse and his
history. Our books and newspapers
are full of this kind of literature, and
it varies in style from the production
Of the child At school. commencing
with: The horse has four legs and
tail; up to the eloquent tribute Of the
scholar when he quotes from Job: That
his neck is clothed with thunder and
the glory Of his nOstrils is terrible.
He smelleth the battle afar of, the
thunder of the captains and the
shouting Between these two ex-
tremes OF the child at his first school
composition, and the professional
literature, we have every grade of pre-
tentIon, and each protesting to have
mastered the whole subject. As we
approach the close of this nineteenth
century, We begin to look for some
thing better in this department Of
knowledge from those who assume to
instruct. And II Is to be found in

New YORK, April ga char
acteristic Broadway scene was
afforded yesterday in front of the
Astor house. Immigration latter
ly, as is we'll known, has been
something unprecedented. Poor
creatures emerging from Castle
garden, where they are cooped up
like fowls, take a stroll along
Broadway and return before the
gates are closed in the evening.
A party of Italians dressed as at
home, came sauntering up street
yesterday afternoon. and when op-
posite the entrance Of the Astor
house encountered Sam Brannan,
who was enjoying his afternoon
cigar. Being strark with their
quiet, h,mely good nature he gave
father, mother and daughters some
money. OveGoycd with their un-
expected good fortune, they seized
poor BrannaDs hands aud repeat
edly kissed and kissed them. A
cheering crowd collected, and
