Why is it that the Umpqua acade
my, which but short time ago had nc
superior in southern Oregon as ar
academy, now has no teacherl The
above is query that great many cit
izens whe aided in erecting and sup
porting it are now asking. Never be
fore were the prospects for full schoo
brighter. Because of the absence O.
saloons and other immoral influences
many parents preferred sending chill
dren here to all other schools in the
county. At this late day many ar,
desirous of having teacher engaged
and school started. But no actor
has been taken by those in charge o
! the institution Al the conference O.
the nj. E. church no report was made
and rome advocated selling the buildin!
and donating the proceeds to anothe
school, which is situated at consider
able distance from the men who bull
this academy, and who would not b
benefited thereby. Besides, we woule
like to know wherein lies the good pol
icy of abandoning an institution tha
has good, substantial fence around it
is well seated, has two excellent mu
sical instruments, and whose last teri
was the fullest spring term it has ha'
for many years. We hope some actio
will be taken and the academy wilFrt
gain its past reputation, despite tn
efforts of some to destroy it.

A Boar Story.

Last week while a gentleman was
out hunting in the woods near Hardy
Elif9s place, he shot deer which ran
into the woods and he was unable to
find it. A day or two after a Mr..
Walker found where the deer had been
dragged for some distance and partially
devoured by bear. He procured a
steel trap and set it; the next morning
he went to the place and found the
trap gone. He went to Mr.. Eliffs
house and found young Mr. Eliff and
his dogs and went back with him to
the place and put the dogs ON the trail.
They had not proceeded far before they
found the pole hanging from the forks
of tree, with the chain and trap on
tie other side, with The hind foot and
tendons of the leg of a monster lear.
The dogs went short distance further
and commenced baying. Mr.. Elf
vent to where they were and shot a
large female panther out of tree,
which he and the dogs soon killed. A
young dog went back into the brush
and commenced barking. They went
to the place and found two young
panthers, about half as large as full
grown cat, which they TOOK to Mr.. Ell
IFS house. The strangest part of the
story is that an old cat with some young
kittens adopted the young panthers
and nurses them. Mr. Eliff informs
US that it is amusing to see the old cal
Ing the young whelps up fight oi

There are thousands Of people living in this
country to-day who never expected slavery and
other fixed institutions TO be brought TO On
end iu their day and generation. Those
wrongs to a down-trodden race we're deemed
invinoible, but yet one generation has seen
them blOtted out, and now the present one
sees just as great evils confronted with an
army just as strong as any that ever waged war
for the benefit of the oppressed. Change is
written everywhere. This Ills and woes of man
kind arc claiming attention, and the coming
generation can erect the monument over many
of the hOurishing evils of to-day. In no pro-
fessiOn is there more advancement being made
than In the science of medicine. Physicians
are learning TO practice common sense as well

PeYuna and Manalin for q large number of the
complaints of mankind, and with astonishing
