If we linve deserved the patronage of the public in the part, we liope to make the REGISTER till more deserving Ota liberal patronage in the future. At the coiiniieiicemcnt of the year we adopted the cash system payment of subscriptions in advance experience satisfying us that in no oilier wav could we publish the REGISTER with profit to ourftelf. We shall continue the same line of policy in the future. All subscriptions ending with tiiis utimbcr will lie dtscoiitinued, unless payment for another year lie made U tore the issue of No. 1 Vol. 6. It U much the best plan, both for the publisher and the subscriber, to pay tM you go: the subscriber is iu no worry about duns, and tlie publisher knows to a dot just bow far his finances will allow him to indulge in any ad ditions or attractions that may suggest themselves for the benefit of his pat rons. - We hope the cash system will receive tlie endorsement ot every one of our readers, and that many new ones may lie added to our lists. Okck More. There are mite a number of persons in Linn county who are indebted to us for the REGIS TER from the first number issued, to number 17 of volume 5 four years mid four months. All of them, we believe, have been dunned, and all of them promised to pay but, we are sorry to say, with one or two excep tions, all of them have failed to make good their promise. They owe us tin? money, and we are not able to make them presents of tlie accounts; but it they will come forward and pay us toy time during September, 1873, we will allow tbem reasonable di-comit on their bills. We make tliis offer as an inducement for all to pay up, as we do not wish to sue on each account. We simply want what is due us noth ing more. Republican Primary.-The attend ance at the Republican primary in this city lat Saturday was the smallest within our knowledge, seventeen being the highest vote cast for any Delegate. Our Democratic friends who met to elect delegates immedi ately after the adjournment uf the liepubiicau primary, claim to have had a larger attendance, a prominent Democrat telling us that they bail twenty-five Democrats and three white men."

We are in receipt of a note from Mr. J. M. Propst, dated Pine Creek (W. T. ). August 18th, in which the writer in forms m that their health in that coun try is excellent, and all Oregonians thereabout doing well. Thev are busy harvesliiig, with good crops. Wheat and oats sown on the soil, are yielding, the first twenty, and the latter thirty bushels to tlie acre. Mr. Propat has side oats with heads that measure twelve inches in length. Orass was luxuriant and green at the date of (he note, the days warm and ulshtsoool. Mr. P. thinks that por lion of W. T. better fanning couutn than the Willamette Valley. Figs. We are Indebted to Mr. Sta Mealey for two ot the largest ripe figs grown in tlie garden of his father h ihlscity. we have ever seen. They were ripe and luscious. inary examination held before Justice Crow, on Wednesday, at Jetterson, the following facts were elicited: Charles Miller, an old man, and James Slater, a soldier of the late war, got into a dispute iu relation to money which Slater alleged Miller was owing him. Miller was riding in a wagon, iu which rode another man and a woman, while Slater was on horse back, leading another horse, bei.hid the wagon. Suddenly, while words were passing between the two, Miller drew a derringer, fired at and hit Sla ter, as above described. Slater, who Is reported to have been in poor health for some time past, was severely wounded while fighting the battles of his country, and in consequence there ot .as drawing a pension from govern ment. We learn that Miller was held to bail in the sum of one thousand dol lars to answer at the next term of the Marion County Circuit Court. Hon. Geo. K. Helm lor the defense, N. B. Humphrey, District Attorney, prose cuting. Need Reproof. We have some boys iu this place, youngsters about half way along to a moustache, at that age when they have the least sense and the most impudence, tliat would be suitable subjects for all of Solomon 's roil, not a stroke being misapplied. Looking out of our office window tlie other day, we saw two of those "smarties" arm in arm. iii a half gufflle, pushing their way noisily along tlie sidewalk to the annoyance ol every passer. Arriving at tlie corner of the street where stood a youth ot about 'heir own ase from the country, the one oil the outside gave tle other a violent push sending hun butt with his shoulder against the country boy, nearly knocking him off his pins. They then took to tlwlr heels. Tlie victim of their ill-manners looked after i beni a moment, and then quietly pur sued his way. This act of these two boys was not only ill-mannered and mean, but cowardly, which nothing but a good spanking would correct. Sheep.

Consider able sickjiess, principally among chil dren, prevails in Brownsville. Diar rhea and flux is what's tlie matter. Dry Goods. N. Baum Is expected up from San Francisco on the next steamer with an immense stock of dry goods of every description, among which will be found the latest in ladies dress goods, trimmings, etc., together witli boots, shoes hats caps, and a splendid stock of men's and boys' clothing. Baum's acknowledged taste U an assurance that the ladies will en joy a rare treat in viewing rieh aial beautiful goods displayed on his coun ters for their special use and benefit, upon his return. A general invitation is extuinled to all to call and examine his new goods upon their arrival. Kvnawat Arm Broken. Mr. Chas. Barnes, an old citizen of this county, was thrown from a wagon on Wednesday, causing the breaking of his left arm iu two places, at the elbow, and between the elbow and shoulder, and bruising his head and body considerably, lie has a span of large young horses, which he was driv ing, hitched to a wagon. In going down a little pitch beyond the depot, the wagon tongue tell to the ground. letting the wagon on to the horses, which caused them to rim away, seri ously if not fatally injuring Mr. Barnes as above mentioned, and tearing tlie wagon to pieces.
