COLUMBIA HILL.-This little mountain town,
eight miles east of North San Juan, on the Ridge,
continues to improve. Mr.. Levi Ayres is COM
pleting handsome frame building, in which the
post-ofice, apothecares, and Justices Office will
hereafter be kept. Mr.. Woodruff has built ca
pacious addition to his grocery and provision
store; and Mr.. Rhen but recently opened a
saloon in one of the largest and finest new build
ings of the place. Other indications denote an
abiding faith on the part of its citizens in the
future prosperity of the town.

QuAILs.-Tuesday afternoon, just before sun

town. lighting down upon the hoase-tops and in
Several gardens. Mr.. Frank Clark succeeded in
capturing one with his hands. Their calls to
each other, while thus scattered, were loud,
continuous and shrill; which attracted a number
of persons to their different localities, who kept
up discharge of five-shooters at them with, as
we are informed, no very gTest success. Not a
quail-feather, from this kind of attack, was
moulted.

VALUABLE PROPERTY ron SALE.-The Inter

reputation. Mr.. D'Arche is a gentleman of un-
limpeachable honor, and the representations
which he makes may be relied upon as entirely
true. We have visited the claims to which he
alludes, and have heard them highly spoken OF
by others. They are well opened, and with the
use of Dunning's Undercurrcnt, we think could
be made to pay largely. Read his advertisement

CWEE1LAND, Sept. 20, looU.
ED. HYDRAULIC PREss-Dear Sir: Last 4th
of July year ago, festival was given a short
distance below this place, for the purpose of OBJ
tanning funds wherewith to build a school-house,
for the use and benefit of the children of this vi
cinity, that they might have at least rudiment-
al education. A pavilion was erected with the
lumber to be afterwards used in the school-house,
band engaged, viands prepared, and WELL
stocked bar put up for the bibulously inclined,
and highly ornamental and tasteful tickets struck
off and sold as 1 am informed, to the amount of
$1,000. Everything went off with great eclat
and credit to the committee Of arrangements, and
the apparent satisfaction of all present-the fes-
tval, as festival, was success. few days
after notices were posted to the effect that pro-
posals would be received for building the much
talked-of academy, and many trusted that the
practical part of the affair would now receive the
attention it deserved. Since then, nothing has
been done in the premises, and no report, that
am aware of, has been made through the local
paper, or otherwise as to the amount realized, or
its disposition. Under any circumstances, it is
the property in trust of the children, and ought
in some way be applied to their benefit. The ap-
parent neglect in this respect would imply i'll
management somewhere. Were half thepublic
spirit manifested in the matter of the school
house, was exhibited in getting up the festival
it would have been built long since, and the chill
dren would have exchanged the roadside for a
more suitable place of instruction, and the choice
phrases of slang and profanity there acquired,
for studies ofa more humanizing and elevating
character. Some of our citizens have become so
much dissatisfied with the failure Of those in
into effect, to decline assisting in any further
attempt. But hope better feeling viii pre-
vail, in case the project be renewed by individu-
ais of better Judgment and more economical
views. 1t does not seem thata finely finished and
furnished building is absolutely necessary
Many of the most prominent men of the coun-
try received the germ of an education that
opened to them career of briliancy and useful
ness in a common log cabin, in days when the
disadvantages were greater and more numerous
than at present in this State. A rough board
house, comfortably warmed and lined, with suit
able school books, benches, and permanent
school-mistress, appear to be the most essential
requisites. In regard to building the school
house, it could be easily effected by contributions
from those favorably circumstanccd, and labor
by others. Many would bevery willing to cut
supply of fire-wood for winter use, and any de-
fciency IN point of remuneration, could be made
up among the residents of the place, and meas
ures be taken to secure in the future our propor-
ton of the school fund.
My object in addressing you the foregoing, is
to demonstrate that where there is a will, there
is way to educate the
CHILDREN.

UNCLE CHARLEY.--To such of the friends of
Uncle Charley Roberts as inquire after him, he
desires to say, that his bodily inirmities for
couple of weeks past, have prevented him from
visiting them, as he would like to do !; and we
'mayedd ON our own responsibility, that'it is not
every animal that can either carry or pull three
hundred and eighty pounds over the steep roads
of this mountain region. Weeks, with full a
hundred pounds less flesh, finds it a difficult
matter; but with Uncle Charley it is next thing
to impossible.

Local Intelligence.


HEROIC FEAT-On Tuesday the horse of Mr..
Frank Smith became frightened by some part
of the harness getting detached from the buggy
to which he was hitched, and falling about his
heels. He started off at mad scamper up the
Main street, Mr.. Smith being in the buggy at the
time, and having hold of the lines, upon which
he pulled with all his strength, to no purpose
the infuriated beast seeming determined upon
effecting runaway and smash-up. ASH Usual
on such occasions, the excited spectators all
screamed "Wo-a.'' and Several inconsiderately
rushed Just far enough into the street ahead of
the frightened horse, to cause him to shy off to
The other side, and thus greatly imperil Mr..
Smiths safety. Observing the inininence of his
lposition, and feeling convinced if the animal
were mot stopped before he got the brow of
the hill and made the descent other side, that
the consequences would probably be fearful
Constable w. S. Edwards darted from the neigh
borhood of the post-office, the horse, driver
and buggy went furiousy by, and with the speed
of a reindeer, ran after and overlook them in
front of the Bank Exchange, where he seized
the frantic animal by the reins near the bit, and
held on with heroic determination. The horse
plunged and endeavored to keep on his course;
but Constable Edwards, notwithstanding the
danger to which he exposed himself, kept his
hold, ,andsucceeded, after being partially dragged
for some twenty or thirty PAGES, in guiding and
forcing the animal in the direction of the Knick-
erbocker Saloon, where empty wagon stood,
and against the tail-board of which he was
fortunate in bringing him up. This bold feat
was admired by every one who beheld it, and
was probably the means of saving Mr.. Smiths
life; for the high rnettle of the horse could have
been subdued~at the time in no other manner.

NORTH BLooMFIELD.-Several years ago,
North Bloomfield, then and until recently known
by the vulgar appellation of ''Humbug," had but
few rivals among the prosperous mining towns
of the mountains. Even at the present time,
the place presents an imposing appearance. 1t
is compactly built, and covers considerable of an
area; but contains quite number Of vacant
houses. Its mines are inexhaustibly rich, and if
there were facilities for working them-as will
be seen elsewhere in this paper, they are about
making preparations for furnishing-inl less than
years time the town would far transcend all its
former prosperity and greatness. This result
would be inevitable. There is a range of table
land on the hillside north of the town, contain
ing thousands of acres Of moist, loamy, arabic
soil, where a succession of fine farms have been
opened, which, in a few years, with other conven-
fences such as grist and sawnills, will be able to
furnish most of the domestic staple commodities
used for the support of life in populous commu-
mites.
The town is snugy located between hills, in
profound concealment, which is penetrated only
upon entering its Threshold. It has an excel
lent brewery, TWO SOOa HOtels, tne large anu
well-stocked provision store of Mr.. Brownell, on
one side of the street, and of Mr.. Nash, on the
other; fourishing bakery kept by r. D. Skid
more, cigar store, by L. Phillips, besides the
usual number of shops and saloons common to
mountain villages.
North Bloomfield has future-depend upon
it. 1t could not be otherwise, with her favorable
situation. What a town fall into premature
decay whose diggings prospect, in some spots,
a dollar to the pan from which pieces of gold
are taken weighing as high as eighteen dollars
and half Whose surface soil has as yet scarce
ly been broken into with an extensive range
of productive agricultural soil in close proximi-
ty? Preposterous!

Our SENIOR SENATbR.-Hnother anecdotei is
told ON Senator Gwin. Eight or ten days ago,
he had an appointment to address the people in
the evening at Moore's Flat. Late in the after
noon of that day, he drove into Orleans-a mile
distant-and had his horses put up; after which
he repaired to the bar-room Of Denton's hotel
and settled himself into chair, with news
paper. He remained reading for some time. In
the meantime night was rapidly approaching.
One of the Senator's political friends approached
him, and after exchanging salutations, inquired
''How long it would be before he thought of going
over: %
The Senator, mistaking the drift of the ques-
ton, replied, "Not till after supper
''Won't that be too late, Senator? You can
sup after arriving there ventured the friend.
'Where ?" said Mr.. Gwin.
cat Moore's."
sMoore'sl Isn't this Moore's?'
''No,' said the friend; ''this is Orleans Flat.
Moore's is a mile distant"
''The devil have made amistake. Landlord,
be good enough to order out my horses.'
The horses were accordingly ordered out and
hitched, and in moment afterwards the Senator
was driving out of the town at a much livlier
pace than he entered it; by which operation
Denton lost his prospective hotel bill, and the
good people OF Orleans were deprived the pleas
ure of hearing the honoroble Senator speak.

WoN'T Dove had a performance on We'd
nesday evening from Pickering & Kings theat-
rical troupe, of which an infant prodigy was the
chief advertised attraction. Now, there were
two weighty reasons why the company failed to
draw. One was, that children are better appre-
ciated here in the nursery than on the stage; and
the other, that dollar as the price of an adTnis-

SANS PosITIoN.-Sam Wagner (colored} has
caught the infection of the times, and grows
eloquent in his vocation of town crier and bell
ringer. He can summon together a religious,
social, or political gathering on shorter notice,
and with more artistic ease, than any of his
mountain cotemporaries in the same line of
business. His outcries are spiced with wit, and
his harangues usually end in moral. This
style of street oratory secures him attentive lis
teners, who not unfrequently respond to his earn
est appeals with applause.
Sam belongs to no particular party. He has,
however, preferences between them, leaning in
the direction of his ''old Kentucky home.' All
parties find it to their advantage to employ him.
He lights up and extinguishes down their distinc-
tive burners, as occasion may require. With the
intention of dischargng the latter duty, after the
Republican speakers had concluded their speech
es on Wednesday evening, he mounted their
rostrum, but couldn't stick. He lost his balance
by mischance, and tumbled into the street. 1t
is therefore very certain, that although Black in
complexion, the term Republican presents too
slippery platform for Sam to stand upon.
