SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2o.-Reports from Sacra-

that OF ls62. The whole valley Is submerged,
and travel is suspended In every direction.
Several railroad accidents, caused by the wash
ing away OF the tracks, have occurred, resulting
in the loss Of life.
The American river is higher than ever before
known.
The levees of Sacramento withstood the flood,
and fears will hereafter be entertained for the
safety of the city.
The levees at Marysville were broken away,
and the greater part OF the city was overnowed.
The roads over the Sierra Nevada mountains
were rendered impossible, and the arrivals of
the mail and express matter from Virginia city
and other places In Nevada was carried by men
on foot. Such disastrous storm was never be-
fore known on the mountains.

The policy OF the State, clearly defined
and steadily pursued for the last ten
years, has been TO secure the utmost pos.

recent selection the Board have aimed to
secure also the utmost attainable excel
lence, and they are fully persuaded that
in this endeavor they have not been IN
successful, To pursue the course recon.

surely defeat the policy of uniformity,

books Of inferior merit. They rene
