MIDDLEWAY, April 4, 1882.
Mr. Editor IL notice in the Register. of
last week Q copy of an Act passed at the last
session concerning the school districts of JEFF
ferson county. AS you say it was not known
such an Act would be passed, I desire
to give an explanation. It will be renem.
bered that sometime last year the County
Court changed the Magisterial districts, and
also that the law requires the school districts
to conform to the magisterial. The County
Superintendent wrote me and also the State
Superintendent in reference to the matter,
stating that inasmuch as only five sets of
books would come into the Sherif's hands it.
would be next to impossible to ascertain the
amount of district tax for each district where
there was part of TIVE school districts in one
magisterial, and also there would be trouble
in the enumeration of pupils, and desired
that something should be done to remedy the
difficulty. After a free conference with the
State Superintendent it was concluded that
the Act passed was necessary, and was the
only remedy, hence its passage.
L also see a correspondent is making in
quiry about the dog law. The amended act
is about as follows The sheriff collects the
tax. On the first of March he returns his de-
linquent list to the County Court, whose duty
it is to place said list in tho hands of tho
constablss, and if the tax is not paid when
called for, it becomes the duty of tho CEN
stables to kill the dog. Dogs are also recog>
nized as property and are as much the sub
jsct of larceny as other property. Tho pro-
Goods arising from the dog tax is to be APP
piled to the payment of sheep killed by dogs.
This is the substance of the recent act.
Eight thousand dollars was appropriated
for Normal Schools, and the same provision
as last year made for the education of a GER
tain number of colored persons at Storer Coll
iege who desire to qualify themselves to
teach. Respectfully.

MIR. Editor:
DEAR S1R:-Our little village and the en-
tire surroun ding community were %dreadfully
shocked yesterday, about l o'clock, P. b.,
by the following accident, which occurred at
the dam of the Riverton Mills: DIR. Will
liams, of Front Royal, who was about rs
years old, but remarkably active and strong
for one of that age, in company with Smith
Turner, 4 lawyer of the same town, was seated
in a fishing boat, just below the dam, fishing
for bass, when by some means the boat was
allowed to come too near to the fall of the
dam and was caught by the falling water and
instantly turned over. Fortunately for him>
self, Mr.. Turner had enough presence of
mind and was able, in his struggles, to get
his feet against the breast of the dam, and in
that way make one great bound for life, in
which he succeeded, By throwing himself SO
far from the dam as to be able to swim away
IRON the sweryes and make his escape. But
the Doctor held to one end of tho boat, which
turned over and over until he lost his hold,
and then he was left alsne to battle with the
dashlng, toaming water, and as no one could
get to him for about ten or fifteen minutes,
he was rowned. Charles Harris and Charles
Hennings were the first men to his rescue,
and they deserve much credit for the skill
and nerve displayed in manning q boat
through the schultz of the dam to got to him.
But it was too late. He was taken to the
shore, where several of tho citizens had
gathered, and they went to work .immediate>
ly and did all they could for him. But it
was then too late. DR.. Garrison was present
In a very few minutes and pronounced him
entirely dead.
DIR. Williams was a man of wide intellect.
Ii is said that he was one of the most highly
educated men of this county, and the aeci>
dent will prove to be a great loss to the in
telligent community, as well as to his many
bereaved relatives. He was an old and ex-
psrienoed fisherman, and as such let his sad,
fate be a precaution, even to these who know
most about fishing. They should be the most
careful. SERy
