She has only one eye bow, hat as she has no hair to comb, tad the state of her face will not permit the use of powder, the difficulty iu mak- . : ing her toilet is not so noticeable. . From Athens, under date of August - 26th, it ia stated that during the storm - in Samia, a town on the Turkish fron- " tier, the lightning struck a powder magazine which exploded with a terrible ' report . The destruction to property was .: great. The residents panic stricken fled , to the country. It is the opinion of experienced mi- . eers that somewhere between Boise river and Boise basin there are excellent .mineral deposits in an old channel of Moore's creek.

For fifty-two ! weeks we have labored to edify and Inter est ihe readers of the Register, devot ing all our time and whatever of ability we may possess to that end. The result is before you. If you deem the Regis ter worthy of continued support, we ask you not only to come forward with ycur renewals for another term of fifty-two weeks, but to induce as many of your neighbors and friends to come with you and Subscribe Jor the Register as you can influence so to do." The larger and more generous the subscription, the bet ter land uiore interesting will be the paper. .We purpose doing fuller justice to the wants of the people in the coming year than we have in the past. We are able to promise this because the means in our hands are superior to those of the year gone by, and because that great Teacher, Experience, has added materially to our knowledge of these wants and desires. Our next number will appear in an entire new dress throughout, and greatly enlarged. It will contain more than three times the amount of matter heretofore given., and all will be afforded at the same old price three dollars per annum, in advance, for a single copy. If each reader of the Register for the past year would hand in one new mine along with his own renewal, our subscrip tion list would he doubled. Will not each subscriber do this much for us ?

San Francisco telegrams, during the week, have informed us that unusual ac tivity has prevailed there in the wheat market, and prices have advanced very rapidly. The price at the present writ ing is largely in advance of that of the corresponding period of last year, it be ing quoted on the 28th of August at $2 422 50 per hundred pounds; while last year, on the 28th of the same month, quotations were but $1 551 70. All things considered, the present is the most favorable year the producers of Oregon have ever had. Buyers in this city are freely offering one dollar per bushel a very fair, paying price for wheat. The Portland UuUetin states that the wheat receipts in San Francisco the present year are much smaller than for any pre vious year for many years, for the same period. To August 23d, of last year, the receipts were 125,749 sacks; to the same date of the present year, the re ceipts were 62,509 sacks a falling off of 03,240 sacks, or more thau one-half. Our producers can judge for themselves, talcing their data from the above figures, whether to hold their wheat for still higher prices, or to sell at the present re munerative price. This advance in pri ces happens at an opportune season, as farmers generally have not disposed of their crops, and will be left to choose for themselves, whether they will take the "chances" on a further advance or a sud den decline in the market. :- Siuce our last report wheat has ad vanced in price, in the San Francisco market, from $2 152 25 to $2 40 $2 50, and is still considerably excited. This sudden and unlocked for advance is caused by the advance, in two days, in Liverpool, of 6d per quintal. The causes of this sudden advance in the Liverpool 'markets are the subject of much speculation. .It is urged that one cause is the report that the crops in Scot land have been injured by the weather ; another that the great Irish crop, the potato, is., a., failure j another that the cholera in Russia will prevent exporting wheat from the Baltic to England ; but the most plausible reason given for the advance is the threatening attitude as sumed by Russia toward Prussia the Czar having issued a ukase permanently abolishing the privileges granted to Ger man citizens. r A war between these two powerful nations would eventually result in getting all Europe by the ears, and a u feast of blood" would result. In the event of such war England and France will look to the United States for their supplies of breadstuffs. If these signs of war shall prove genuine, prices ' may still further advance; but if, on the other hand, they shall prove unreal, and no' war result from them," then prices may falL Producers and purchasers alike must be their own judges in the matter we but state facts as we get them.

On the 27th of August the telegraph brought us the intelligence of steamboat and rail road disasters in the i.ast and south, that were truly appalling. At Revere, seven miles from Boston, an accommoda tion train was run into by the lightning express, making a complete wreck ot the train, killing some twenty-one passengers and wounding some forty or fifty others. This happened on the evening of the 26tb. On the morning ot the same day, on the Philadelphia, and Erie road, near v estport station, a mail ana ireight train coll ded, causing the death of six, fatally injuring three, and wounding and maiming some dozen others. On the 27th, near Mobile, Ala., the steamer Ocean Wave exploded her boiler, creat ing terrible destruction among her two hundred passengers. Sixty or severity persons were killed, and many injured. Out ot one family on board, consisting of seven, six were kslled. Only three of her officers escaped. Such terrible loss of life demands the closest investigation, and it is to be hoped the authorities will probe the causes of these several acci dents to the bottom ; and if there be blame let the guilty suffer the extreme penalty ot the law. Entered nrro His Rest. Sir. Be- ri&h Brown has retired from the manage ment of the Olympia Standard, and his valedictory appeared in the ' last issue of that paper. Mr. Brown announces his permanent withdrawal from party ser vice and partisan politics. He will not permit himself to ' be classed with the spoil-hunters," who, in their passion for place, fling to the winds the ancient prin ciples ot tne JJemocratic party. The New York Herald says General Hancock, from present appearances, will be ' Pennsylvania's favorite son" in the Democratic presidential convention, and he seems to be the favorite among the Southern Democracy inclining to the "New Departure.'' Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, and ail the old departure lead. ers think, with Sir. Greeley, that it is too soon vet to talk of the party candidate for the succession ; and be is waiting for something to turn up. Stephens Rises to Kxplaix. Alex aoder II. Stephens, of Georgia, has da clared his settled determination concern ing the New Departure. He affirms that if the Democratic national convention adopts a platform jo agreement with the Ohio resol u tion s--aecpt i ng the " fraud u Lsnt" fourteenth and fifteenth" amend. merits, as he . states it be will himself depart to C-rca of a. new party. - Mr. Editor Sioce our County Fair is so near at hand, I have been led to jot down a few stray thoughts, not on the subject of fairs in general, but of Linn County Fair in particular. ' Let me first call attention to the fol lowing, taken from the Premium List, under the head of general remarks: "The people in general, and especially the ladies, are requested to furnish pic tures and other ornaments for the Pavil ion." This looks like a kind invitation, and it is also generous to allow the ladies a free admission ; quite the thing in the present day of '"ladies privileges," what ever the coming "women's rights" may bring. Rut it is not my purpose to discuss "women's rights" or privileges either, except as connected with our agricultur al(?) Fair; and to get at the clearest un derstanding of the thing, let us study figures, for unless they "lie" (the figures i mean), our Fair aforesaid is very much of an agricultural sham. To bejiio then with totals : The total premium list, first aud sec nd, including the fire classes of cattle, seven classes of sheep, and five classes of swine, amounts to 1,443 75 ; surely this is devising liberal things Look a little closer. 81,625, nearly two fifths of the whole amount, is distributed iu two classes and divided into seven premiums. Thee two clus.-es are, one would suppose, representative classes : "o one could possibly condemn a stranger I he should judge or the tone ot the Fair from the two classes thus honored. aud if-the Linu County Agricultural Association represents the sentiment of the county, the spirit of the two classes mentioned must be the animus of this, the liest agricultural county in Oregon. H hat are the men most interested-io these two classes in the noble (?) art of horse-racing they are commonly called horse-men, jiwskeys, gamblers, race-course bummers, politely dubbed "the sporting fraternity," and these, judging by the premium l:et before me, are "par excel lence" the nobility of our county, the true aiiriculturistf, for whose btnefit the Society exists. A train, "the people in general, and especially the ladies are requested," &c. A word to the ladies: your total pretu iunis amount to about six hundred dol Jars in other words if you fill the pavil lion with articles useful and ornatuental, things to gratify the eye and the palate, it" vou iret all the premiums on the list, you get for your butter, and cheese, and preserves, and bread, ana caKe, aua flowers, together with sewing, and spin- Diog, and weaving, and knitting, not to mention the numberless little arts which adorn and make comfortable our houses, ami Ac Society n vavtiun, for tbese you eet a little more than Class 4, No. 1. ' "iUlie neais, o in a, irno m mi vjw. , Space and time will allow but one or two more items. ' Let any sensible man look over Class 14, Mechanical Depart ment, and see whether one first premium in the whole class will pay a mechanic for his ticket, his entry tee, the time, and expense of taking any of the specified articles to the grounds, returning the same, and the risk of possible damage to the article, is there a cabinet-maker in all Oregon who would let a bureau worthy of a premium go to the grounds and back for four dollars, or a sofa for two ? Is there a ' carriage maker who would send a first class - buggy there ' for the premium? Is there a blacksmith who would carry bis four pieces of work out there acd back for the amount re wonld have left, if he gained the first premium? or a tinner who would for two s dollars, take ten pieces of ware, or a founder five pieces of casting ? Rut perhapn some one thinks i they should have public ' sprit enough to build up the Fair, and pay their own expenses taking the honor for equivalent. My answer is, try the same theoty with the horse-jockeys. ; Finally, when you go to tbe fair, com pare notes, see how few entries there are in Classes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13 and 14. and you will find that at least half the amount paid for premiums will go to the races The Gazette, of New York, has infor mation that the bodies of active third Assistant Engineers, G. W. McGowan, II. W. Moran, A. W. Mitchell and M. Shonbcrg, who were attached to the Monitor Iron Clad WeehaxcTi-en when she sunk in Charleston harbor on the sixth of December, 1863, have . been taken from her wreckhaving been fouiuL" at their posts in the" enirine room. Superiority 1 of Oregon Wool. At the Mechanics' Institute Fair in San Francisco there is on exhibition some of the woolens of the Oregon City mills. The San Francisco Bulletin,' iu comment ing upon the superior excellence of these fabrics, says of Oregon wool this : Oregon fleeces command 3840 cents. The superiority of the Oregou fleeces is in the fact of. their being cleaner, and of longer staple. The lack of rain in Cali fornia compelis wool-growers to shear twice a year; while in Oregon, the larger amount of raini allows of a full year's srrowth. Obtuse on Thfoloot -A Dutch man, who in a fit of passion was swearing terribly, was reproved by a church deacon who chanced to overhear him. s ? 5 'Why do you swear so, Hans ?" said the deacon, "don't you know that it is a gieat aio ?"

In Warrensburg, ' re cently, Mrs. Alice Day discovered that her husband had another wife, and shot herself dead. The husband, who was in prison for bigamy at the time, when he heard of the self murder of one of his con sorts, was so overcome by sorrow and re morse that, having nothing else within reach, ho swallowed a box of hooks aod eyes, a bottle of hair-dye, a brass breast pin, several pieces of glass, six vest buttons, and a small pen-knite. These miscellane ous articles did not prove fatal ; but at last accounts Day complained ot indigestion. NEW TO-DAY. WI1UAM DAVIDSON, REAL ESTATE DEALER, Office, No. fit Front Street.
