UPsET-A wagon containing eleven
persons, on the night of the Both ult., /,
was accidentally upset on steep grade
Just at the residence of III. A. johnson,
Esq, two miles north of Jefferson, pre-
cipitating the whole party to the ground.
The soft condition of the ground pre-
vented the I" serious killing" of any of
the party but two of the young ladies
sustained painful injuries-one lady S
wrist being sprained, and another lady
was deprived of consciousness for short
time. Nick Springer came out with a
whole skin, but he was perfect fright,
being covered with mud from one end to
the other! The wagon turned completely
over, and "it's the greatest wonder in
the world" that the party escaped with
SO few bruises.

Letter from the County School Super
intendent.
OFFICE OF COUNTY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
For LINN COUNTY, OREGON,
December 3Uth. 1869.


OFFICE COUNTY School SUPERINTENDENT
For LINN COUNTY, OREGON,
December 3oth. 1869.
EDITOR REGISTER As there have
been several applications to this Office for
copies of the school law, of which there
are none for distribution and as several
districts suffered loss last spring through
errors in their reports, or through too
great delay in sending them to this Office,
have thought it best to call the atten-
tion of the clerks of school districts to
this subject, through your columns, with
your kind permission.
The law provides that before the first
Monday in March of each year the re-
port must be made to the Superintendent.
This means that the report must be in
the Office of the Superintendent on that
day, as that is the day on which the ap-
portionment of the school fund among
the districts is made, and he cannot know
of reports still in the offices of the clerks,
or in the mails, or perhaps in some ones
hat, where some reports appeared to have
been carried week or two before they
reached the office, and were too late in
consequences.
It is evident that the 29th of Febru-
airy is too late to make a report, espec-
tally when that month has but % days,
as last February.
In fact, making the report should
never be put off later than January, as
then it will have all of February to go
to the office, and it is hardly possible
that accident of any kind could delay a
report if mailed before February. It is
wrong, also, for the children Of any dis

A CHANGE.-The Eugene Journal
says that Ben Holladay has removed
Chief Engineer Brooks and appointed
Hon. Jesse Applegate in his stead. The
Journal further adds. " We regard this
highly commendablc appointment on the
part of Mr.. Holiday as being particu-
ularly to the interests Of the people of
Eugene. Mr.. Applegate is reliable
and experienced man, and may be ex-
pected to perform the duties of the Office
satisfactorily. We are glad that one Of
the most worthy citizens of the State has
received the position. We believe, SO
far as Mr.. Applegate will have power or
influence, the road will be located so as
to promote the best interests of ALL

trlct to be deprived of their portion of
the public fund through the neglect of
the clerk who has taken an oath to per-
form his duty.
The report should contain:
1st. Number of legal voters.
I'd. Number of persons over four and
under twenty years Of age.
Sd. Number of male scholars
4th. Number of female scholars
5th. Number of quarters school
taught.
9th. Kind of books used.
7th. Number of scholars in average
attendance.
Sth Amount paid teachers from dis
trict tax.
9th. Amount received and paid teach
ers from the county fund.
10th. Amount of incidental expenses
1lth Total amount of tax levied and
collected
18th. Names of teachers employed
The whole number of the male and
female scholars, in the 3D. and 4th items
above, should amount to the I'd item, the
number of persons over four and under
twenty years of age. In two reports
last Winter there was a discrepancy in
these amounts. One in particular re-
ported 81 persons over and under 20
years of age, Is of whom were males
and 21 females Is and 21 is only 80,
leaving Is persons who were not account
ed for as male or female. There being
an obvious error in this report, and the
number 80 being probably the nearest
right, it was made the basis of the appro-
priation for that district
One report also failed to mention any
school taught; and had not the clerk
happened into the Office just in time to
its share of the fund.
These mistakes arc brought to the
notice of clerks that they may guard
against similar errors, as the items men
toned, the number of males and females
over fur and under twenty years of
age, and the number of quarters school
taught, are absolutely necessary in order
to entitlc the district to share in the
fund. 1t is doubtful if there has been
single apportionment at which some
district has not failed to get Its just por-
ton of the county fund, through error in
the report or its failure to arrive IN time.
But if the clerks will take this notice in
good part and act accordingly, there need
be no such cases the coming March.
Perhaps they had better cut out this
article and keep for reference, and, if in
consequence, the reports all come into
this Office in time, and correct, SO that
every district gets its fair share of the
puolie fund, leaving no occasion for
fault finding or i'll feeling hereafter,
| shall be amply repaid for writing this
communication. j. w. MACK,
Co. School Supt. for Linn Co., Oregon.

FROM LEBANON.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
LEBANON, January L 1870

LEDA4Sof>1 oduudiy L, 1ctO
The holidays have passed pleasantly
with the citizens of our rural village.
The Masons had supper in their hall
on Christmas Eve, on which occasion
their officers for the ensuing year were
installed. We understand that all lad a
very pleasant time-supper abundant
and of the very best, and the company,
as it was composed exclusively of Masons
and their families, of course was pleas
ant The Good Templars had supper
in their hall Christmas evening. We
understand that it was a grand affair.
Provisions of the very best were SO
abundant that not more than half was
consumed, though there were about one
hundred persons present. BY the way,
this Lodge, We suppose, is one of the
most prosperous in the State. 1t now
numbers about one hundred members in
good standing; and new members are
initiated at almost every meeting.
Since the annual meeting of the
'' Lebanon Ditch & Manufacturing Com
pany," the general impression is that the
ditch will be dug and mill erected by
next harvest The new Board of officers
are live men-are determined to push
it through. About fifteen hundred dol
lars of stock has been taken since the
annual meeting. BY the way, delesa-
ton from your city was up here this
week to see if some arrangements might
not be made by which Albany might
have the benefit of " the ditch" We
would have Albany to understand that
this ditch is to convey water to Lebanon.
If YOU wish to use the water at Albany,
you are welcome to do so, after Lebanon
has had the benefit of it, Albany is too
near Lebanon, at any rate, to ever make
place of much Importance. From the
great adoo which is made about the
OREGON CENTRAL RAILROAD
Passing through Albany, We are led to
infer that the future prosperity of your
city depends upon the accomplishment of
that event. We are happy to be able
