ALTURAs COUNTY.

From Mr.. F. G. Farris, who returned iron
Atlanta District, in Alturas county, ON lbs
Sunday. we learn few facts regarding quart
in that section OF the country.
There il very little work being done il
quartz in that region. The Monarch compan.
are running tailings through their mill and have
four men engaged in taking ore from thei
claims on the Atlanta. Mr.. Farris showed III
quantity of ore from that famous lode which
was literally full Of gold and silver, and wa
taken out ct depth Of about $50 feet The
Monarch company own 1.43l4 feet on the lode
and Mr.. Mattingly, the agent of the company
is now in London negotiating sale of this
property. II is rumored that an English com
pany has offered him 81 200 900, bat it is not
quite up to the price he asks. Mr.. John Tile.
man, Of Yuba District, received letter from
Mr.. Mattingly few days ago in which he says
be was succeeding well in his negotiations.
Mr.. Atkins the Superintendent OF the com.
pany. returned few days ago from the States
and has taken charge Of affairs in Yuba or At
lanta District Judge Heath intormd Mr.
Farris that he had out about CITY tons of rock
from the Variety lode which he intends crush
ing in an arastra and which he thinks will pay
well. The Monrrch company have sunk
shaft at the end Of their tunnel down such
depth that they could 60 no further on ac-
count Of the water, and they found the richest
rock ever found in Alturas. One piece OF ore
that was taken out assayed over SIS. 900 to the
ton. The officers Of the company are very
particular and viii allow none Of their ore to
pc carried OF even as specimens. Business of
every kind j. dull 10 Alturas.
Mr. Paris informs Us that on Tuesday, June
9TH, Mr.. Richard Masters, Of Gold Hill, while
crossing North Boise on horseback. en- route
from Gold Hill to Atlanta. the water being
very high, his horse was washed down the |
stream. loosing his footing. and brought up
against drift, upon which Masters climbed,
while his horse went under the drift and was
drowned.
DIR. Farris brought no later election news

CEDAR CREEK.-Erqln the Deer Lodge In.

companies sluicing on Cedar Greek. 70.
Railey, who has just returned from that camp,
informs the fgdegsndsgs that there is at least
1900 inches Of water in the creek, and thst
the high water will prevent other claims being
worked for several weeks. He gayy there are
ut least 400 more men in the mines than can
find employment during this season, even after
the water subsidies. Money is very scarce,
and many men were leaving for California and
Oregon and other countries. One saw mill

Ere at Franklin.

We condense from the VenaDgo Spccta-
tor, the following particulars Of the burn
ing of the Franklin exchange:
Our citizens were startled by the alarm
OF fire at half past four o'clock on We'd
nesday afternoon, and in few minutes af-
terward the Franklin Exchange, one of the
largest hotel buildings 10 Western Penn
sylvania, was a mass of fame and smoke
1t WAS Immediately seen that it was im-
possible to save this noble structure. As
the flames made headway the intense heat
from the doomed building drove the fire.
men away from its front, but they worked
Ike saiainanders, and did all that is posi-
bic for men to accomplish.
\ telegram was Immediately dispatched
to Oil City for help, and was responded to
by the arrival of the Steamer Vigleut No.
! ON a special train. SIZE Immediately
went into service AMI rendered efficient aid
in staying the further progress Of the frc.
AS the huge pile of the Exchange be-
came one mass Of bright red flame, and the
sides began to shiver and fall, the scene
was awful and beyond description. \ FIVE
story building, dry as tinder box; with
nothing about it to guard against fire, but
slate root, the rapidity Of the destruction
barely gave time for the escape of its in
mates in the upper stories. A fire under
the same circumstances, happening at night,
wonld have Involved terrible loss of life
and destroyed the half of the business por.
ton Of the city.
There are conflicting accounts as to the
cause of the fire, but they do not widely
differ. One is, that the call and the lamp
boys amusing themselves with a dog by
tying paper to his tail, saturating it with
refined oil and then setting it on fire. 1t is
supposed that the dog, thus rigged as a
freship, followed :he lamp boy to the oil
room in the cellar ana set fire to barrel
Of oil, The other account is, that lamp
expl oded while the lamp boy was lighting
it and fire was at once communicated to all
the oil in the cellar. That the beginning of
the fre:.was oil is apparent from the dense
smoke which instantly filled the house, and
from the rapidity with which the flames
spread to every nook and corner of the
building Forest Republican.

A CAT Sucks BABES BREATH.-The
following cat story we find in one Of our
exchanges. The reader can take it for
what it is considered worth:
A cat nearly caused the death of child
in the vicinity of Sandy Hill, Perry county,
few days ago. Our informant states that
Mrs. Jeremiah Hull left her child, aged
about nine months, in the room playing
with the cat, while she was engaged in an
other part of the house. After some time
she went 10 see about the child, when she
saw the cat sitting on its breast with its nose
inserted in the child's mouth and its paws
clasped around its neck, Mrs. Hull ran
and threw the cat from the child, which
was almost lifeless, but the cat Immediately
sprans back on the child, placing its nose
in the child's mouth and claspng it around
the neck as before A second time the
animal was thrown back, and then greatly
enraged it sprang forward and caught the
child by the throat, After releasing the
child, the cat was taken out and immedia-
tely killed. The child recovered in a few
days.

The Fenian Scare.

The authorities of Canada are frightened
out of their wits over an imaginary inva-
sion of their territory by the Fenians. The
cry "To ARMS" has been raised through
out the Canadian provinces, and troops are
marching with desperate haste to guard and
protect the frontiers against the threatened
invasion. The whole country seems to be
in astate Of fearful fermentation, and tae
Canadian newspapers are clamorous for the
United States Government to assert its au-
thorty, and come to the rescue. Alas
what great smoke little fire may create.
The Canadians may just as well keep cool !;
their troops return to their quarters; and
their rulers cease to make donkeys of them
selves. They are in 40 danger, just now,
from any Fenian invasion, and may for the
time being quietly lay their heads upon
their downy pillows, and repose in safety

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE at Centre.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE at Centre
vile next week ought to be attended BY all
the teachers in the county, and by the di-
rectors also, as far as possible. OF course
no one expects to learn everything in a
week. The institute is not intended to
take the place OF full course, or even
single term, of academic study. But one
who is determined to make the most of this
opportunity will receive great many val.
liable hints, both as to the matters to be
taught and methods o! teaching. Not only
young teachers but those who have spent
years in that honorable profession will be
likely to gain some new ideas and here as
elsewhere those who know the most and
have attained the greatest proficiency in
he art of teaching will make the most i'm
rovement at the Teachers Institute. But
'he actual knowledge to be gained is scarce
iy so important as the stimulus to thought,
the professional enthusiasm which may be
'xpected to result from such a meeting of
he teachers in county with those COM
fetent to teach them. And this enthusiasm
in their profession is one thing that is very
much needed by the teachers OF Elk Coun-
ty. Let them by all means spend week
together aud stir up one another to take
hold of the work in caanest. Let every
teacher commence the summer term with
the zeal Of an artist let the directors feel
that they are placed in charge o. the most
important business OF the state; aud let
parents watch the progress OF :heir chill
dren's education with at least as much in
terest as they would the painting of their
portraits; and in six months there will be
a call for another Teachers Institute, which
will be attended with more interest than
any previous one, and followed by proper
tionally greater results.
