THE COUNTY.

FNAScIAL.-It appears from the Auditors
statement, published in last weeks Journal
at length, that the total financial receipts of
Nevada county, including balances on hand
from February 18th to October Sd 1859, was
S70,643 10. The receipts from the various
sources were as follows: Balances in differ
ent funds, S20,l45 65 received from prop
erty tax of 1859, S23,s52 a6; delinquent
taxes, S265 II; poll tax, S7,2l5 "a; mining
license, S4,3l6 GA; license taxes, Sl3,lls 81;
auctioneer's per centage, S2i Sc; roads and
bridges, 1886 So ; fines, 1882 O5: State
school fund, 81 1896. The total expenditures
were $5S,3l2 II. leaving total balance on
hand eft SI2,530 SO. The total debt is
$149,285 Sc. The assets of the county, con-
ssting of cash balances on hand, $4,9 l3;
uncolected taxes, $38,33S 70; court house
property, S35, 500; due from State on ac-
count of assessments, and a judgement Ct
So ,0e0 against securities of Hope-amount
in the aggregate to $50, $40 81.
DISTRICT CoURT.-This court has been in
session since Monday, Judge Vanclief, of ST.

is trying a suit at Downieville in which Van
clief is interested. No business of import
ance had been transacted up to Thursday
School MATTERs-Dr. Overton. the coun-
ty superintendent of schools, Informs the
Democrat that there are l,665 children in the
county between the ages Of four and eight
cen years, of which So are boys and 8f3
are girls. The number under four is 995:
making a total of 266o childreh in the
county, OF which number 1893 were born
in California, 81 are orphans, and one deaf
and dumb. Only 600 children have attend
ed school during the year, and the average
daily attendance was only 305. 1t thus ap-
pears that only about one-third of the school
children of the county have attended school
during the past year, while the other two
thirds are growing up in ignorance The
length of time the schools have been kept
varies from four to eleven months, and the
amount paid teachers runs from fifty to one
hundred dollars month.
BRUTAL EXHIBITION. THE Demotrat gives
an account of fight between a bull and a
large cinnamon bear, which came off at
Hughes race track last Saturday, and which
was witnessed by two or three hundred per-
sons. The bulls horns being sawed off he
could not effectually defend himself. His
face, head and legs were terribly lacerated,
and his upper jaw broken.
RAILROAD SURvEY.-From the same paper
we learn that Sherman Day, who isnow en-
gagged in making railroad survey from Fol-
som to Auburn, offers to continue the same
! to Nevada, and give an estimate of the cost
OF the road, if citizens will pay him $500
for the service.

Gen. Allen paid our town brief visit this
week. He looks hale and hearty, is as
warmhearted jovial and hopeful as ever,
and talks encouragingly of his prospects.
He is living in regular '49 style, camping on
the Weaver ditch near Orleans Flat, super
intending his contract on the same. Now
that some of the miners are washing again,
his tail flume at Columbia Hill will, we hope,
soon prove source of profit to him. 1t is
splendid property, receiving the waste dirt
from numerous good claims, and holding a
rayine bed that of itself will prove remuner-
atiye. Long may he flourish.

PEANUTs.-A number of our home gar
deners experimental this year with the pea
nut or goova pea, or ground nut, as it is va
riously called and with the greatest sue
cess. The vine grows well in loose rich
soil, and fruits abundantly. One vine in the
garden of Mr.. Moore had on its roots nearly
a pound of nuts. Mr.. VIM. Abbey raised a
fine crop. The nuts on his vines were nearly
as large as those brought from Africa. Mr.
John Hills experiment was equally success
ful. Next spring, large quantity of seed
will be planted: and in year from this time
home raised peanuts will be for sale IN o6r
stores. They can be wholesaled readily for
twenty-five cents pound, at least, until
they become very plentiful; and we advise
every gardener to plant some. Nothing like
variety of products to insure profit.

Those arrangements have been made in view of the
