CLOSING OF THE SCHOOL.
.Last week being the close of the Spring
term at the Rosebnrg Academy, the greai-
er part of the six days was devoted in
examination as to progress in studies vo
the part of pupils. : . The examtuations
were highly satisfactory, and they coul1
not be otherwise with Professor Browne as
principal.1 ind J. M. Bower ' and Miss
Uattie OiltilandJas assistants, lioseburg
never had a belter corps ot teachers than
those named. - They are not only learned,
liuu have the qualifications which coins
uiand respect, direct lessons and imprest"
upon the pupils the necessity and import
ance ot close attention to studies, t'rof.
Browne it a graduate of one of the finet
colleges in the world; he was intemled by
Nature at the beginning for the important
work he has imposed upon himself; in fact,
we know of no Professor ia the State
who (lives better satisfaction as a teacher
and whom, for pure worth, should lwve
greater esteem !rin parents. Aud as to Mr.
Bower, we know of no gentleman more
competent as schoolmaster; he shows the
good breeding, the seme careiuluess ol
education, the same desire to succeed, and
the same regard as to the advancement of
pupils under his cra for which Professor
tsrowne is so lugblv esteemed. lli;8 UilH-
land is deserving ol t he highest pruise, since
no lady could have done U tter than she has
aud we know of no better lady teacher.

"A CORRECTION."
Wilbur, Oregon, May 14, 1879.
EnrroK Ciihistum cvWosukk : I sent
you a short communication lost; Maruh, in
which a statement was mode iu regard to
the death of one of our best eitisens, J. t.
Smith. - I was informed to-day bv his broth
er, who wss in attendance at Lis last mo
menta and heard his last words, that no
such expression was made by him as I re
ported. Also that my iufonnauts were uoi
present at the time and that they got their
information from the common talk in the
community. ' " t'o err ia human ; to forgive,
divine," and it affords me pleasure too
rect any error, and to add that it was no
intention on my part to misrepresent any
oue. I am also informed that the ill-feeling
in the Lodge was a business affair against
the Master and two other members of the
order. Hence his request to be buried by
the nitisens aud bis choioe of ministers to
officiate at hia funeral was Rev. Hull Tow
er, an aged and much honored tooul minis
ter of the M. E. church. I will add my
main object was to admonish those who be
lieve they can work out their soul's salva
tion by strict adherence to the laws aod
rules of- the Lodge, as I know many who
believe this doctrine to be safe, and if I have
awakened a proper interest on this poiut 1
shall be more than satisfied. F. R. Hll.u
The above, Mr. Editor, is only au ac
knowledgment of the truth. I only want
one or two woidsnow that full justice may
be done ; I only wish to say that if F. K.
Hill manufactured the siory lie wilfully
told an untruth, and if others informed in
formed him as stated, they uttered a false
hoot?. At the best, there wss a p.eco of un
wan anted intermeddling and a good deal
of lying. B. P. Sunu.

kno why he talks so, and why be wonld
utter a defense sgiinst the '"example in

him. It makes no difference it there was
one men or six men. so long as they told
an un'ruth :aud the only t jociion there is,
is that "George's" jealousy led him to be

Important Decisions.
Judge Watson rendered two
tnipoi taut, decisions last week. The
first was in the matter of the
Oakland election in which tlie
Judge declared that but two of
the trustees holding iftiee were
legally elected Metisr. Pike and
McKinnoii, and that Mr. Young
was elected... This being ttue,the
board ot trustees sinoe the elec
tion have been acting without a
quorum. The decision of the
Judge in the Canyon road case
was io the edeMt that A. A. Fink,
James F. Gazley aud James F.
Gazley, Jr., pay to Sol Abraham
and W. li. Willis damages to
the amount of $200 for olurrnct
in the Canyon load and collect
ing tolls belonging to VViilis and
Abraham. .
Death of Mrs. Haynos.
Mrs. W. R. Willis received a
dispatch trom Elkton on 1 bur-di V
stating that her mother, Mrs.
Sarah Il-tvneg, died on Wodncs
day, and would be I uried on Fri
u iy. The dispatch did rot reach
this city m time to permit Mrs.
Wills attending the tuneral. Mrs.
Liayiies leases a .husband, two
daughters and tour sons to mourn
he; loss, and through her many
vutues and line qualities, had
gained innumerable friends who
now sincerely deplore her death.
