DAMAGE TO DIToHEs.-Mr. Charles Marsh,
who went to the head of the South Yuba Canal
on Wednesday last, to ascertain the extent of
the damage to that ditch, returned yesterday
evening. He reports that the damage is much
less than anticipated The head-gate and fif-
teen boxes, where the water is taken from the
Yuba, we're carried away, but the dam is still
standing, and it is believed the damage can be
repaired in the course of week or ten days,
when the ditch will be furnishing its usual
supply of water. The damage to the Omega
Ditch. which heads mile and half below the
South Yuba Canal, is somewhat more. The
dam was destroyed, and some four hundred feet
Of boxes carried away. 1t is probable they will
not be able to put in a new dam before next
summer. This will be serious damage to the
owners, but the miners at Omega can obtain
supply of water from the South Yuba Ditch.
OAKLAND SCHOOL DIsTRIcT.-A meeting
of the voters of this District was held at the
new school house on last Wednesday evening,
for the purpose of electing a teacher for the
ensuing term. About thirty were in attendance,
and the interest manifested furnishes a very
striking and commendable contrast to the in
difference shown upon this subject in other
parts of the township and county. Mr.. Boyn-
ton, the present teacher, and to whose assiduity
the present prosperity of the school is to be
mainly attributed, was reelected for the term
ensuing, receiving majority of all the votes
cast. When the new suspension bridge shall
make that portion of the town more accessible,
we look for the Oakland school to be one Of
the first in numbers and attainments in the
township.
HORRIBLE.-We are panied to learn from
the National, that the citizens of our sister
town have had their sensibilities shocked by
the panoramic exhibition styled the "Pan-tec-
na-thec-a." We do not think, however, that
the exhibitor deserves the severe structures of
the National; his fault, if any, was ignorance.
When he becomes better acquainted with the
citizens of the Valley, he will see and abandon
his cunningly devised but iniquitous scheme of
gTatuitously distributing copies of the Bible, or
lives Of Lincoln and Calhoun. We shudder
when we reflect that our contemporarys admi-
ration for the fine arts may have made him the
unwilling recipient of copy of the Scriptures.
Nothing less than nigger concert could re-
store the moral equilibrium of the National.
MALICIOUS MIscHIRF.-Last night, some
sacrihgious rascal sawed off the pickets and
destroyed portion of the fine fence recently
erected around the Catholic burial ground. No
positive evidence as to who perpetrated this
malicious act has been obtained. He must
have been engaged several hours in the work
Of destruction.
IkPoUNDING CATTLR.-An ordinance ha
been passed by the town Trustees, which will be
seen in another column, providing for the i'm
pounding of horses, mules and cattle found run
hlng at large in town. The ordinance takes
eject on the first Of January next.
In JAIL.-There are now only three priso-
ners in the county jail-Searls, under indict-
ment and awaiting his trial for murder; All XII,
convicted of grand larceny and waiting to be
aken to the State Prison; and another China
"Ah serving out sentence for petty larceny.
FRoBATB CoURT.-Wm. Daniel filed a pc
u'ion to-day, for letters testamentary, as execu-
VOr OF the will Of his brother the late John Dan
Di' The latter was one of the proprietors of
