It is n matter of congratulation that tho new school building, for the Jack sonville DNtrict, is so near completion. 'o are assured that within two weeks it will be leatly for occupation. Occu pying tho mou promiuout point in the town known as tho Highain Knoll and surmounted w ith a handsome bel- frv, tho building is a public ornament, and in its internal arrangement retlects ciedit on the tasto and judgment of tho Directors. As a school building, it is, in our opinion, everything that is desired to meet tho wants of (lie youth ful portion of our community, and noth fug'is now wanted but an experienced and suitable teacher, who is full com petent to be entrusted with the moral and intellectual deelopment of our children. We understand that it is tiie intention of the Directors to levy an tiililtt iitittil rt in in itii f flirt rtiiitint n- j)encof the school for tho coining vear, and thnt the salarv of the teacher will be a secondary consideration, and ev - ery effort wilfbe made to make the in - stitution an honor to tho district. So far, the Directors have shown a praie- worthv enl in behalf of education, and tlillllLllflittt It V liivit tv viiisvii l we hope the people of the town will Fiistaiu them by bearing the additional burden cheerfully, and enable them to lay tho foundation of such a school as Southern Oregon is murh in need of. Tho necessities and advantages of edu cation cannot be over-estimated. Tho liberal support of a free school is a du,0llr,n'0nrc',cUcrl",or, loimmomUv. tv that our people owo to the coiuiuu- uity as citizens, looking to their own protection and the general welfare of tho State. The bestowal of an educa tion is a duty they ovvo to their child ren as parents, mid money spout'iu the support of frco and liberal institutions of learning is better invested than if earning two per cent, a month, llct- ter far, give your children a substan-1 tial education to enable them toclbow their way through tho worldin anv ' sphcre of life, nuil diseharco their du-, ties as citizens, though they bliotihl be gin life without a dollar, than to with hold uduention and leave them thou tands to squander and quarrel over. It seems unnecessary, hovvover, to insult the intelligence of our teadero by Miy ing nuythiug more on this point, and wo expect that by cheerful co-operation with tho diiectors, our new public school will bo a monument of the gen erosity and public spirit of the commu nity, and be looked back upon with prido and gratification by the rising" population of our town; when they, in turn, shall have taken part in tho ac tive duties of life; and with the thought that their manhood and womanhood owed much of their usefulness to the liberality of tho fiicndnof Act learning. Dloouvd Stock. It may bo inter esting to stock fanciers to know that' "Ida," a filly of "Hilloman's," had a, fino horse coU by "Jack Miner," on tho' 2d inst. Jack Minor is said to bo tho fastest horso that over came to Oregon, and as Hillcmau is hard to beat, this foal will be an object ol interest among men who pay attention to tlionfl'aim of tho "luif." Ida is tho property of Messis. McLaughlin and Kliiipelwho havo mined the foal "Ilcniy Welsh." llicu Spkcimex-. In another colunin wo mentioned tho fact that a rich spec imen had been found on Jackson creek, which yielded ioily ounces of gold. Wo now leam fiom Colonel Diowthat it was taken fiom a small quart lead, owned and worked by a French miner, on Shively Gulch. The specimen weighs one hundred and forty ounces, and in thu opinion of thoso who have been it, will yield not less than ono bundled ounces of gold. 1'iiKAK op X.m'in:. Last week, a maio belonging to .Mr. Thomas Funis, of Williamsbiiig, Jo-ephiue county, had twin foals, one of which was a horse and the other a mule. T hoy aro both well formed and lully developed. This singular ficak is well authenti cated and is a nut for stock misers and horso f.iueieis to crack.

About forty minors turned out last week and helped to complete tho toad fiom the summit of thu divide to the diggings. Tho camp is now within thill miles of this place Giving out. Ir is n favorite expression w ith cioak eis and l.vy people, to say that our mines arc "giving out." Imoiji ocular proof, and from the iuot"roliablo infor mation, wo havocoinetotho conclusion that they aie really "giving out" not becoming ehntited but'thoy are gi ing a fair and remunerative yield for the labor employed in them. "Giving out," do you s.tv ? Why, during the present week -Air. bturgcs.of Applcgatc, brought into our ollire a solid chunk of gold, weighing ouo hundred and eighty dollars which was taken out by China men on Star Gulch, a few weeks since.
