NAIL FROM HuMBoLDT-Mr Loupc, the mail
carrier from Humboldt Bay, arrived on Wednes'
day night. The mail will go and come weekly,
hereafter. The Times thinks that the stage com
pany did not understand the expense of the route
when the contract was made; it is Il dismal route
Of over 100 miles, and at one place it is 45 miles
between houses. We suppose they understood
the expense and consequent loss at first, but their
while new routes become valuable, and they own
them. Lohpe is a regular mountain exprcssman,

cc,' (Mrs. Addums,) played here on Wednesday
and Thursday nights, to moderately good honscs;
neither appeared to so great advantage as we
have seen them elsewhere, but. even under great
disadvantages, the performance was pleasing
Mr.. Addams is the best delincator of Yankee
character now in this State, and has earned con
siderable fame; his wife is woman of remarkable
versatility and power Of mind; her literary ex-
cellcnce is, perhaps greater than her merit as an
actress, though as such she is deserving We are
glad TO see that they are successful, and as they
go mol tn we wish them kind reception, and as
sure all who delight in Yankee oddities, that they
will be pleased with the Adams Family.

they say must be true, you know that on a

had charge overlook a cripple, limping along
by the side OF the track, when our hero, the

SCHOOLS

Mr.. Row Dear Sir: In examining tbo I,S,
annual report of the State Superintendent ot
Common Schools, see that the Directors in
some oi the Districts in our county have CON-
mitted an error in making out their annual re-
port to the Superintendent, which shows care.
lessness, if not something worse. Thus the
Districts of Beccaria, Burnside and Penn. SET
down the total number of scholars for the Drer-
age, which is clearly the opposite of what the
Department requires. There is also some
mistake IN the returns from Bradford Gir.rd
and Huston. These can be nothing more than
mistakes, because 1t is not reasonable to sup
pose that the scholars in the above named dis
tricts have all erery day attended school. The
State Superintendent Report shows the arer-
age number of scholars attending school in
our county TO be 3,55S, which of course is
wrong by the above districts giving the fofgl
number instead of the acreage. 1t is clearly
the design of the Department to furnish cor
rect and authentic data for all practical purpo-
ses, in everything relating to our school sys
TEN, and it is the duty OF Directors TO furnish
the same with correct Reports | am Sorry TO
see that Our county is not the only one at fault.
Instance the Report of Allegheny county.
which shows that the total number of scholars
IN that county is set down as %, ,4S4, while the
drerGge is 2S,6S5, thus making the average
over go greater than the total which is sim
ply ridiculous. If the numbers are reversed.
the difference would nevertheless be too small.
hope for the sake of our county that the
saline mistakes, or any others, will not be COM
mitted over again. The mistake or careless
ness If You please, is SO easily avoided, and
equally SO detected, that should any of the
Directors furnish our gentlemanly County Su-
perIntendent with like Reports for the cnsu-
lng year, hope he will send them back to
ihem for correction. Let other counties do
as they please; as for us, let US do right cs-
pecialiy when is so easily and cheaply done,
being no Inconvenience TO either health or
capital. L am warm friend of general edu-
cation, believing it to be the only trne source
OF happiness and peace to us as people, and
the only principle that viii uphold us as a ma
ton. have therefore no further counsel TO
give in this matter, except that the several
school districts in our county Will hereafter
avoid the aforementioned mistake.

Frightful consequences are likely to ensue
along the lower Mississippi, which is now high
cr in some places than was ever known, by
the accession of combined floods coming from
the upper rivers. The Mississippi is rising
from st. Paul, the lower Missouri and Illinois
rivers are both high and rising; all their trib-
utaries are at flood height. The high water
is occasioned by heavy rains extending through
the whole Western and Northwestern country
and not by the usual Spring mountain rise !;
should that follow before the freshct flood sub
sides, the whole of the lower country will
doubtless be inunnated.

Mt. VERNON HoUsE.-This hotel, situate in

ken by our friend L. W. Ten Eyck. The house
is large and well adapted for the accommoda-
tion of guests, and as Lew. is a clever. atten-
tive and accommodating fellow generally. we
have no doubt of his making an excellent
landlord, or that he will keep the best kind Of
hotel, and that all who stop with him will
fare we'll. We direct attention to his card in
our advertising columns
iHE LUMBER TRADE.-The great bulk of the
lumber prepared during the past winter in this
county, passed down the Susouebanna last
week There are some RATS back vet but
their number is small. The number that will
reach market this season will be little short
oi last years product. in consequence of the
general depression of business during the last
eight or ten months, it is not to be expected
that great activity will manifest itself in the
market, and it is altogether probable that pri-
ces VIII be low Still, if the sales are eener-
ally for cash, times will soon brighten IN in
our county.
