LET HIM BE HoNoRED.-A daring youth
of this city, on yesterday, rescued an un(or
tunate female in the most heroic manner from
a watery grave. A Mexican woman was
sitting on the bank of the Yuba river, near
the old station house, and being little chow
come you So" suddenly fell backwards into
the turbid stream. The youth ia question
no sooner saw the catastrophe than he rushed
down the bank, utterly regardless of his own
safety, and reaching over as far as he could
without getting his feet wet seized the wo.
man by the petticoats and undertook to drag
her forth feet foremost She was little too
heavy, and pulled him in after her Both
were then in very precarious situation.
The heroic youth, however, hung to his pre-
cious charge In the meantime, q Chinaman
near by. after much persuasion, as he hap
pened to entertain hatred for the fair dam
sci, reluctantly went down to the scene of dire
dismay, and, Selling the noble youth by the
coat tail, pulled him backward As he emer
ged from the water, he drew the nearly
drowned female with him, and thus was the
virtue of true daring rewarded. We have
not learned the name of this youthful hero,
but, if his friends will furnish us with it, we
will take pleasure in giving him such promi-
nence as this sublime piece of heroism de-
serves.

The Northern District Fair.

AS we have before mentioned to our read
ers. the first Annual Fair of the Agricultural,
Horticultural and Mechanics Society of the
Northern District of California, is fixed by
the Board Of Trustees to be held in this city
on the 30th, 3lst Of August, the lst, ID and
Sd days of September of this year. The
premium list is already prepared and in our
hands for publication. The premiums, for
the objects they are intended to accomplish.
They are so diversified and general as to Gov
er every branch of business, trade, profes-
sion and calling. 1t is therefore to be hoped
that the efforts of the Board of Trustees will
meet with a hearty response from the people
for whose especial benefit this society Is es'
taLlished. The farmers, herdsmen, orchard
lists. and mechanics of the Northern counties
of the State should awake to the work OF
fostering and promoting home Society, ana
making it the pride of the North. Inc
means are within your grasp, and it only re
ouires the determination and will on your
part to do so. The agriculturist and horti-
culturist have the climate and the soil to en-
able them to compete with the world; while
the mineral wealth of our mountains is un-
surpassed. The support of this Society
should be a matter of pride with the people
of all the Northern counties. 1t will be the
means of showing the productiveness of cur
soil, and the wealth and growing prosperity
of our citizens. 1t will stimulate a spirit of
rivalry between the citizens Of the Northern
and Southern counties, that will be untold in
in its benefits upon the State at large and the
people of our own section. Upon these con-
sideratons, we hope that all will take an in
terest and contribute whatever they may
have worthy of exhibition at the coming
Fair. The Board of Trustees are laboring
assiduously, and will spare no pains to have
one of the best exhibitions ever witnessed in
the State; and if the exhibition does not ex-
eel that to be holden at Sacramento, it will
be the fault of our own people. Let all per
sons, Of whatever occupation, trade or pro-
fession from this time on, prepare to make
the first Fair Of the Society worthy of the
District it represents.
