At nine o'clock yesterday a largo and appreciative juvenile audienco as sembled at Liberty Hall to witness tho opening scenes of "The fall term of '83." The classic appearance of the curtain on the stage elicited consider able criticism, and the general appear anco of the building was likewise tho subject of remark. About 114 were enrolled in the classes of Mrs. F. E. Martin, Miss Carrie Field and Miss Kate Connolly. The primary depart ment of the school, in charge of Miss Dora Badollet and Miss E. Haber sham, is located in the old school building on the hill; about SO pupils were yesterday enrolled in that divis ion, me instruct is tortunate in me Cape Hancock Station. Capt. Al. Harris, of tho life saving station at Capo Hancock, wa3 in the city yesterday. In answer to a ques tion as to how that important branch of the public service was getting along, he said, very slow. The crew is sup posed to go on duty October 1st, but so far he has received no instructions from headquarters, but is daily ex pecting orders to that effect. He has picked out a crew of eight experienced j men, and is impatient to get orders to ! place them in adtive service. Thatat is an immediate necessity is well illus ' trated bv the recent sad accident whereby the J. 0. Cousins was lost and four human lives swallowed up by the sea. Llad Capt.

Two of Astoria's bar pilots have now been at sea over a week without any tidings from them and but for the foresight of two others yesterday the' also would probably be afloat. About eight days ago Pilot Wood took out the ltarentfttoM', and Math ews the Hi cor Xiih: the tugs that towed the vessels out refused to take the pilots back, and they having no other recourse, and their pilot schoon er, the J. C. Cousin being at the time missing, they wore obliged to go back to the vessels and go to sea. Yesterday Pilots Olsen and Rich ardson took out two vessels, the for mer the Sruttidi Tor, and the latter the Western Jicile. They got one of the ships boats from the Cairnxmorc that .1 . W. Welch bought the night the wreck was sold, and fitting a sail in her, sent her down to the bar to beat outside and take them oil'. Olsen went out first, and the tug refusing to take him off, the little boat dropped alongside, repea ting the same perform ance with Richardson. The two pilots succeeded in reaching Astoria in safety last evening. An existing need at the Cape Han cock life station is a new boat. The boat there now is a good one, no bet ter, but she is only 27 feet long, and totally, inadequate to the actual needs of the service. A boat 40 feet long, that would carry a sail, would be of inestimable value to Capt. Harris and his men. When the tide is making in and a stitf breeze blowing, it is all that crew can do to make way against it. With a larger boat, self-righting and self-bailing like the present one, but f size sufficient to carry a sail, the ossibility of loss of life in caso of dis- ter would be greatly lessened. The station is one of the most important in the couutry and needs a boat of the intensions we have indicated. C. W. Fulton has associated with him his brother, G. C.

It is understood that a second concert will be given at Liberty Hall in about a week, and those who remember with pleasure the entertainment given by the society a few months ago, will need no urging to form a part of the large audience that will greet tnem on their next public appearance.

"Young man, you see that small is land to your right ? well, that is whero it is said, many Indians have been buried years back." The island in question is situated in Shoalwater bay, near the mouth of Bear river. It re sembles a round, rocky mound, not over an acre in area, and is supposed to contain the remains of all the In dians who have gone to the happy hunting grounds from this section. 'Yes," says our informant, reflective ly, "they say that gold and other val uables are buried there in large (plan tities, but I have never known of any one who has recovered anything from there or even made search for hidden treasures, but then it is there, so the Indiana say. I attempted to laud on the island once, but upwards of 400 snakes, of all sizes, come down to wel come me, and I concluded to call round again." Doubtless many things of interest could be obtained on this little island if one felt disposed search for it, but we are of theopi that little of value will ever come to light Pacific Journal.
