affairs OF Amador county nave oeeu ehlrus T.
ed for the past year. 1t is risking nothing
to say that they retire with the full and
abiding confidence of their constituents. We
have yet to hear of any serious complaint
against any of their acts or proceedings, and
we know that in oil instances they pursued
that policy which to them seemed most ad-
vantageous for the county, avoiding at the
same time the Infringement of private rights
How far they were successful as the mana
gers of the county business is best proved by
the prosperous condition in which they leave
the same. No money has been squandered; /;
economy has been practised, and general
supervision of affairs carefully attended to-
They need to ask no better eulogy than the
record they leave behind them.
The duties of the Supervisors are onerous
much more so than is generally supposed
They are the superintendent of the entire
business of the county; and their responsible
ty is only cqualed by the arduous labor they
are compelled to perform. The members of
the old Board-Mr Severance of the lst Dis
trict, Mr. Kingsley of the I'd, and Dr. Brown,
(President) Of the 3d-no doubt gladly give
place to their successors The Board could
have had no more efficient President than
DR.. Brown.
Mrs JULIA DEAN HAYNE.-This talented
lady is shortly to make second trip to the
mountains, and we are gratifed to learn that
Jackson is to be one among the first places
she sill visit As tragedienne, Mrs III
ranks among the first in America; and she
will of course be supported by talented
and superior company. Theatrcals Of this
kind viii be appreciated as an intellectual
feast by t3e people of the mountains; the
more so, when it is remembered that they are
SO often compelled to submit to the gross inn
positions which are practiced by the travelling
humbugs that are continually traversng the
State from one end to the other
New SCHOOL HoUsE.-Mr Tackaberry is
working with commendabe zeal in the new
school house enterprise, and we are glad to
learn that our citizens are subscribing liber
ally Subscriptions to the amount of over
$500 have already been obtained. 1t is pro-
posed to erect comfortable and roomy brick
building. The church edifce in which the
school is now taught cannot possibly be kept
warm in winter; and it is therefore earnestly
to be hoped that the new building will be
ready to be occupied by the time cold and
wet weather may be expected to commence.
To accomplish this our citizens must lend
prompt and ready assistance.
The IsRAELTEs-The Israelites of this
place and vicinity dedicated their new syna-
goguc, during the Jewish New Year Hol-
days, with all due ceremony. Their stores

ment commences, and will continue until Mon

vention; yet the Convention falls far short of
majority of all the votes cast
FRuIr.-Onr market is still supplied with
choice apples, peaches and grapes. The ap-
plies are from Oregon and are excellent; the
peaches are from this vicinity, principally from
the orchard of Horace Kham, and can
scarcely be excelled. If the quantity of fruit
continues to increase as it has for two years
past, it will soon be as plenty here as in any
of the other States

times must be expected Nevertheless. our
