Too Finely Drawn.

THE Hamilton New Inland Empire
tells the following good story: Mining
claims sent to the East for sale are usually
accompanied with well-written reports,
setting forth in glowing colors the great
merits OF the property offered. Lately
we heard of case where q well.known
mining expert, and as well collator of
news, was engaged to report ona Treasure
Hill mine, which was to be put on the
Chicago market Everything else being
In readiness, ye local put in his biggest
ticks on his report, and succeeded, doubt
less, in getting up the most voluminous
and highly -cOIored document that ever
descended from Pogonip. In due season
the papers were dispatched to the agent
in the lake city, who, unfortunately, was
gentleman that had never seen the Pa
cifc coast elephant. On examination Of
our local experts report he weakened;
saw in imagination immense mountains
of the shining bullion going for Q mere
song, as It were, and amer mature
deliberation utterly refused to act.
He wrote to the owners of the property
here that to sacrifice 1t for the nominal
figures demanded would be q piece of
wanton recklessness, to which he did
not desire to be q party, and for this
reason had dismissed negotiations, which
otherwise would have eliminated in the
early sale of the property. In fact, he
would like to have fingerin the pie him
self, and il the proprietors would only
hold on until next summer or fall, he
would come out and take look at the
mine, with the view Of purchasing it at
greatly increased rates. To point Q
moral in single line, our local friends
report struck him, and in this manner,

MALE ScHooL.-1t il stated upon reliable au.

emy at an early date We are glad to
learn that another effort is about to be made to
establish high school in Monroe; and hope
all those who have boys to educate will feel the
urgent necessity of giving their strongest aid

fact that our Male Academy is neglected ard
unoccupied, that We have no protestant II: ale
school Of any character, is by no means credit.
able to our place and civilization. Persons
desiring to locate here, travellers, and our
country friends, are all astonished at our IN
pardonable neglect in the education of our
boys at home. Town ana cities almost uni
ve:saly feel generous pride in having
schoole and seminaries of learning to which
they can point, as an object OF attraction and
hearty; but certaiuly we, have failed or are
egregious!y wanting in this noble sentiment
Individual efforts nave been made, and are
now being made, to lift from onr community
this reproach, to elevate the town o. Monroe
morally and socially. but these
efforts have been and are only feebly sustain

bring about a change in this matter; and let
all come up to the support of Mr.. F. I. Syme,
who will soon take charge Of our male acade-

at the Post-offi:e at 7: 80, and seeing some
mail matter in our box, asked very politely of

to get it. The reply was manly and to the point
"Thc mail will moi be given out Tonight
Now, this is not a complaint against the young

be conducted with reference to public accom-

of the light fingered gentry, on Saturday night
last, and set of teeth, and some thirty odd dol
lars in coin abstraeted. The money was taken
from the pants pockets of Mr.. Geary. The port
monai, from which the money had disappeared,
was found at the gate the next morning. The
teeth were found among the shrubbery in the gar
den, few days after. According to the Port

scattering all over the country, in search of new

get rid of these scoundrels and treat them they
deserve, at the same time not being too harsh on
them, would be to give each and every one caught

loaded with slugs. 1t would cool their ardor, at

ARRIvED.-Mr. E. Cartwright, agent for the
purchase of fax seed for the California Oil Mills
Tscently of Portland, has established his office for
the future in this city. Mr.. Cartwright has
contracted for the product of about 5000
of fax in this county, he having loaned
the seed to our farmers, to be returned by them
next Fall The price to be paid by the agency is
2i cents per pound, delivered in this city. The
seed used is the Bombay, producing prolific
crop of large seed, but the fibre produced is small
in quantity and of inferior quality. A yield of
from 25 to 80 bushels per acre is expected. which
will afford better pay than wheat, at present
prices. The land best adapted to the culture of
FAX is said to be the uplands ridges, said
lands producing the best winter wheat. This
branch of agriculture will probably become a
leading feature in our farming interests in the
future.
