FOURTH DISTRICT School ExAMISATIoNs.---We
were present yesterday during portion Of the ex
animation Of the Boys High School Of the Fourth
District Of which Mr.. Torrey is principal and Mr..
McGregor assistant teacher Such OF the exercises
we gave satisfactory evidence that the energy Of
the teachers had not been wasted and that the boys
had struggled with aud mastered the difficulties Of
learning with becoming ambition.
The examination was not as thorough as it should
have been, being crowded into single day still, as
far as Il went It gave satisfactory evidence of the
fine progress of the School, and afforded the highest
qualification to the spectators present. We hardly
think full justice be done to either the teachers
or the pupils Of High School in a single days ex-
animation. Two days at least should be set apart to
such examinations, as in the First District High
Echools,
We may allude particularly to the examination Of
the boys in French, yesterday, as having disclosed
something especially excellent. The boys exercised
themselves in Ia belle language with smoothness
and correctness calculated TO induce the belief that
large part Of each day had been set apart to that
study. Yet we informed that only forty minutes
each day had been devoted to their instruction by
the teacher, Madame Bernos who Is likewise teacher
OF the French CLASSES In the Girls High School, This
fact, taken in connection with the fine display Of the
Girls High School In French the day before satisfied
as Of Madame B. unusual excellence and we con-
graduate the Directory Of the Garden District upon
their possession Of French teacher so sgnaly able
in both their High Schools.
The most entertaining part Of yesterdays exhibit
ton perhaps was the reading OF extracts from the
three literary journals written up by the boys OF the
three coursea--" The Spirit Of the Times +" The
Review" and-we forget the name of the other.
Many Of the compositions were creditable the edi-
torial controversies between the different journals,
lively and the criticisms, keen and sashiDg. We
cannot conceive any better more efectual method
Of teaching the and proper understanding Of our
language than that Of encouraging the different classes
in school totry their pens in literary way and then
engage In a war Of criticism. The criticisms read
yesterday afforded much entertainment to the specta-
tors.
This school contains eighty pupils; forty in the
preparatory department and forty in the superior de-
partment OF the latter number, ten are graduates,
and are to receive their diplomas at the grand exh
hition at Felicity Street Church to-day.
To this exhibition, we need hardly call attention.
II will be beautiful and delightful to all who shall be
luckily enough 10 gain admission into the church.
general invitation Is extended to the public but we
do not press the invitation because we well know the
church will not hold more than half the people who
60 u has been SO for several years past and will be
SO again to-day. The exercises are to begin at 10
O'Clock.

The BEAUTIFUL IN NATURE
About this, with pleasure, we often
read but seldom take the trouble to
enjoy. What could be more pleasant,
how could time be more pro6tably
passed, and what could more tend to
the refinement of the feelings of our
innermost soul, now so sadly roughen-
ed by contact with the business-world,
whose only idea is-wealth-the curse
of mankind, because it leads on to
luxury-than to take trip to the
mountains, where may be breathed
pure air, which shall expand the dust
filed lungs of those of cities, and in
vigorats the system; where too may
be seen the stately pine, gracefully
swaying to and fro with the breeze,
whose music shall enliven the care>
worn, and whose plumed top, as it
rises high into the ethereal blue Of the
heavens, reminding one Of the God
who in mercy has thus created in
beauty surrounding nature for the
humblest to enjoy?

SCHOOL STATISTICS. Through the
kindness of the Trustees we are fur
nished with the following interesting
particulars in regard to the condition
Of the District School, and the num-
ber of children in the township.
Bridgeport Township constitutes
School District No. 2, and contains
but one school, which is located in
this town. The total number of chill
dren in the district is 229, of which
121 are between the ages of 4 and Is,
and 108 under 4 years lis are boys,
Ia girls, and $50 were born in Cali
ifornia. The number Of pupils att
tending school is only 81, out Of 121
entitled to attend, the daily average
attendance being 30.
We believe there are ono or two
private schools at other points in the
district, so that the number Of children
receiving instruction is greater than
the above figures would indicate.
The total amount Of expenditures
for school purposes during the last
IL months was $1.543.9O, of which
sum $682.50 was paid to teachers,
and $861.40 consumed in the erec-
ten of q school house and purchase
of books. $1,369.53 of the whole
amount Of expenditures was raised
BY subscription amongst the citizens
generally, the balance $174.37 being
received from the school fund.
Our little town has reason to feel
proud of its iberality towards the
cause of education. The erection of
that school house, and the instructing
Of from 80 to so children during the
past year are the best things We have
done. Many little fellow may
emerge from that institution to fame
and usefulness, and will remember
the spot where he received the germ
Of his excellence long, perhaps, after
San Juan has ceased to exist.
The hydraulic press. (North San Juan, Nev. Co., Cal.) 1858-18??, 1858-11-06
are open and paying, and others not

are open ana paying, ana DINERS not
yet worked.
Along the creek there are several
extensive Tail Sluices-that of the
Clark Brothers being at least 1000
feet long, and valued a little time
ago at upwards of $4,000. The
Tail Sluice of Winham, Mcdowell
and Ewing is elsewhere noticed at
length.
The hills on each side of Sweetland
Creek are mostly composed of the
rocks named above. These have fire.
quent veins of excellent looking quartz
cropping from them, some Of which
must contain gold in remunerative
quantities. 1t should be tested by
all means. IF it is really auriferous
it will add largely to the permanence
and success eff the place.

SWEETLAND.-This old and famous

SwEETLAND.-This old and famous
locality, which was first settled in
1850, "still lives" and prospers.
Many amiable families reside there,
and several beautiful residences are
being built. The cottage Of Mr..
Hiscox is one Of the most picturesque
and tasteful houses in the mountains.
The reputation Of this town is not
stained by the crimes and rowdyism
which have afflicted nearly every
other mining village. The diggings,
though rich, have not been of that
kind which would attract a large
floating population with its wild ex-
cesses, being very deep and requir-
ing years of patient toll to open them.
Those who have had the courage to
persevere have done well, and will do
better.
The Buck. & Brock. claims, own
ed by Curtis 4 Co., have paid very
rich, and, we believe, are still pay
ing. The proprietors are now run
ming tunnel.
Cloke & Co., and tho Last Chance
company are also running tunnels.
The Manzanita and Tennessee
companies, as also Fowler & Co., and
Moore & Hillard, have all completed
their tunnels and are washing either
with good success or the certain pros
pect of it to cheer them.
The Kentucky company have late
ly got to washing, and have struck
rich dirt. They cleaned up last
week 1928 as the result of one and
a half days. washing. The gold can
be seen in the bottom dirt, whilst a
little above, prospects of Is cents to
the pan can be obtained.
On Buckeye Hill, which is ACROSS
the creek from Swestland, there are
several companies at work, and doing
well. Hitchcock & Lewis, Evans 4
Co., and Evans & DannaIs, are all
running in tunnels. The bed rock is
micaceous slate and sand stone, and
is comparatively soft and easily cut
or blasted.
In addition to the claims enumera-
ted, there are many others around
the village of Sweetland with which
we are not familiar, some Of which
