AcADEMY-We learn it is the intention
of the trustees of the M. E. Church to
establish an Academy in Auburn, and
that arrangements are now being made
tor that purpose.
We are glad to see an enterprise OF this
kind attempted. 1t is what Aubutn needs
very much, and that it will I've successful
there can be no doubt. Many families
are settling in our county, and are anxious
that their children should have the benefit
of a school, which will no doubt he the
case under the management of the Rev.
Mr.. Hunter and Mrs. Horton, of our
place.
We hope that the citizens of Placer
county will give the Academy al the as
sistance that they can, and assist us IN
building up an institution which will be
our pride and baast. We fully believe
that it can be so encouraged and support
ed. And then families from the valley
will send their children here to be educat-
ed, being much more healthier, and plea
SAINT, for scholars, than the hot lowlands.
We shall speak of this matter again.

WILLIAM HATFIELD
Very respectfully,

Very respectfully,
WILLIAM HATFIELD.
discover in your No. of May aSth
that some splenetic individual over the
title of No. 2, is very much opposed to
the remarks of my amiabIe friend at
Yankee Jin's. He complains that never
attended but one Convention, and that
was disposed to ride. From the man
ner of his braying Judge him better adj
dapted for being rode or packed than any
other purpose.
He says, "Hatfeld is comparatively
unknown to the Democrats of Placer ex-
cept on the famous Divide" IT he will
step out from behind his anket screen |
will inform him that Hatfie d is Beef
Merchant, and would sooner undertake
to govern il Spanish OK as so unmanly an
individual as No. appears to be.
presume that No. 2 is on.y a kind of
political black board on which some de-
signing office-seeker draws his designs in
truck on0metry, and that he himself seeks
but subaltern place in the staff Of some
county office-'tis true the Democratic
party is occasionally encumbered with
fungus of this NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. HABITS,
and tobacco, and the farewell departure of
leg treasurers wi ! soon rid the party of
extraneOuS nuisances-and the first prin-
ciple Of an economical Democracy will

CoNF1AGRArION-L ABOUT $4,000.
About 2 O'Clock last night the city was
reused by the cry of fire, but on account
of the cries and disorders so common in
our streets ut night, it was at first suppos-
ed to be a false alarm. Ii was soon found
however, to be but too serious. IL begun
on the southwest corner of Kearny and
California streets, in the rear of the Star
Bakery, it is said. There was brisk
breeze blowing, and that, with the very
combustibe nature ofthe tenements there,
gave the fire great headway.
The Fire Department worked wonders,
particularly in preventing the fire from
crossing kearny street. The space burnt
over was about 70 by 100 feet. There
were six two-story houses burnt, and three
of one story. Il. b. Potter, the owner Of
the livery stable, suffered the greatest
loss. 1t is said that a number of horses
were burnt. Kroning & Plump, who oc-
cupied the grocery on the corner, lost
considerable amount.
OF the other houses burned was Gle
Lampion" kept by Frenchlnan, the
Buena Vista House, house occupied by IA
dress maker and tailor, and another and
IL house occupied by Sturk Jeweler,
and shoe maker, and in the rear was
Richards coal and wood yard, in which
considerable damage was done. The
whole loss is not less than $50, 0,Q0O.-.ata.

Of Saturday we gather the following:
The Democratic de egates are not in
structed TO go for McGibben for Lieut..
Governor, aS asserted by the Express.
There are some twenty-five children
about Downcville with fair prospect of
an increase.
a new paper is about to he started
under the auspices of Mr. Merrinan.-
The Echo wishes him merry time.
A company working on Durgan's Flat
struck spot in their drift the last week
that is paying them .'big." They took
out on Wednesday 81 oZ. and S., Thurs
day % oz., and OH Friday 55 ozs.
The "iggings about Coyoteville are
yielding vel One company OF four men
took out last week over $500 to the share,
and number of other good strikes have
been made in that vicinity lately.
On i nufSduy last, at anOut OCloCk, /,
A. NJ, says the California Express, the
people at Dobbins' Ranch were startled
by the sound of an exp osion like that OF
IA very heavy piece Of Ordnance. Fol-
lowing the explosion was whlzzlng
sound ike that OF a large cannon ball pas
sing through the air, which was succeed
ed by rumbling like the approach OF Il
train of cars upon railroad-blowing off
steam. At first it was supposed TO be the
explosion of the boilers of IL steam mill
in the Immediate vicinity, but on learning
that such was not the case, ii became ii
matter Of general speculation. A similar
sound was heard at the Keystone and the
Nevada House; but at the latter place it
seemed to come from high in the air. 1t
has been suggested that it must have been
heated air escaping from some fissure in
the mountain, but we prefer leaving the
question for the curious to decide.
