Of three years. All appointments by County
Superintendeuts to fill vacancies expire with

any interest in public schools leave his business,

man. Let teachers stir themselves, too, and
show themselves men among men. Certificates

A CORRESPONDENT says: The woods on the
summit of the Stringtown hill were on FIRE one
night recently. Viewed from the South Feather
river, fifteen hundred feet below, the sight was
both novel and grand. The fire seemed to
burn 10 circles, and at distance looked like
the camp-fres of vast army. The people of
Stingtown remained up nearly all of the night
that the event occurred, to witness the imposing
spectacle.
IN ORDER.-We paid short visit TO our
County Hospital, aud were pleased q find the
different apartments neat and clean and the
sanitary condition of the inmates good. Dr.
Mott elsewhere, publishes an official list of
the Indigent sick of Butte county and it is
right to state, that during his entire term of
office, not single death has occurred among
the inmates.
CAVALRY COMPANY Tile Union men Of
Susanville as we learn from the Quincy Union
have organized a cavalry company, under the
State law, and have on their muster roll sixty
five names. We observe the name of W.
Sanders, q former resident of Oroville, as %
Lieutenant. The company do not permit any
one to become a member who is not uncondi-
tionally for the Union ard the maintenance Of
the laws. That is sound.
