Our quiet little stream is well known
for its fair ladies and gallant young men.
One of the latter, Mr.. Bill D., few
evenings since, called on one of the fair
ones some distance away. After spend
ing the happy hours in rowing the far
distant hills and valleys of pleasure, he
was carried to the summit, and permits
ted to gaze upon his future destiny, and
such was his wonder and establishment
at bebolding the precipice beneath, that
his mind became dethroned and his
vision darkened. In fact, he is in crit
ical condition, for ON returning home he
put up his Baalam in the stable, pulled
off the bride, and fed him, but left the
saddle on bis back, buckled tight. In
the morning he again fed his baalam,
but his vision had not returned, and he
did not see the saddle. After awhile the
Squire, his father, came out, and though
his eyesight is somewhat dim. he saw
the animal running around in the lot
with the saddle on, and enquired of his
son the cause Of it. recommend Flagg's

The duty Of providing for free schools
having been left to the County Court of
each county, the country children are at
home growing up in, ignorance. Rev.
WA. MACK, While he was Superintend-
emit for the county, established ninety
one free schools, Ia number of them sup
plemental,) to which $500 white and q
900 black children were sent. The teach
ers Of these various schools now say that
since the free schools have been discon-
tinued, about two thirds OF the scholars
have stopped going to any school. They
find it impossible to get mp enough
scholars in a radius. small enough for
them to come to school, to pay them
selves for their trouble. The only school
system fitted for the country is the free
school plan. There may be some rea>
scnable prejudice against it, but it is the
only way in which all the children can
be taught by competent teachers. About
fifteen new school houses were built b.
the Superintendent, which are also used
as churches. for Divine worship. by min
listers of all denominations. Below we
give the locality of these edifices:
Two in the Frierson settlement.

A DUCK y WHO Swan AWAY FROM HER Az

A "DUcK" WHO SWAN AWAY FROM HER Az
FIANcED.-We clip the following story from the
Ireka Journal of a late date:
rustic damsel of some fifteen summers was
wooed by young man down on Hot Creek, in
Pitt River Valley, and the parents were greatly
in favor of his attentions to their daughter. The
match seems to have been made by the old folks
the girl consented, and the happy bridegroom
procured a license from Shasta The day ar
rived, the Magistrate and invited guests were all
present. and everything seemed to be going on
merriy until about couple of hours before the
ceremony was to take place. The young lady,
seeing no other chance to evade the hymenial
knot, broke and run. On reaching Hot Greek,
she tied her clothes in a bundle, fastened them
on her head, and swan across the creek She
then proceeded to Pitt River, n very deep and
swift stream of hundred yards in width, and
swan that in the same manner Her woud-be
lord, and parents and friends gave chase, but
there being no boat to cross, were unable to
catch her. party, however, went up to the
ferry, few miles above, where they crossed and
made diligent search, finding her some three or
four hours afterwards at a house on the opposite
side of the river. That young lady evidently
does not generally ask, " Mamma, may go out
TO swim" The last heard of the would be hus-
band, he was trying 10 sell his license for half
price.

BAD BoYs.-The Auburn Stars and Stripes says
that their town is infested with two or three boys
who are great annoyance to the people of the
place. and that they are bent upon stealing and
destroying property. They lately set fire to a
chicken house in the suburbs, and had it not
been for timely discovery and prompt action it is
probable that great many fine residences would
have been destroyed. Although these boys are
the sons o: worthy and estmabe parents, no
check has been put on their actions, and the
Stars and Stripes urges the citizens to take the
matter in hand in order to prevent further depre-
dations being committed.

New RALRoAD.-The following is from the
Sacramento Rscord of Sept. 27th
We learn that the Directors of the Central Pa
cifc Railroad Company have ordered a survey to
be made, for the purpose of ascertaining the
shortest and most direct route for "A railroad from
Sacramento to San Francisco. Neither of the
two existing roads is the shortest possible, and
in these days of intense business activity and
perhaps over-srained business competition every
mile and every minute that can be saved between
the great centers of trade and population be-
comes a matter of Importance. If the new road
can shorten the time between Sacramento and
San Francisco much as a half, or even quar-
ter of an hour, it will be regarded as a benei-
cent enterprise by the entire business commu-
nifty. We understand that the surveys for :he
new route have been actually commenced, and
that as soon as they are completed and the line
of the road determined upon, the work of grad
ing and laying the track will begin.

What Makes n Man.

Not numerous years, nor heightened life
Nor pretty children and wife,
Not pins and chains and fancy rings,
Nor any such like trumpery things;
Not pipe, cigar, nor bottled wine,
Nor liberty with Kings to dine;
Nor coat, nor boots, nor yet hat,
dandy vest or trim cravat;
Nor all the worlds wealth laid in store;
Nor Mister, Reverend, Sir, nor Squire,
With titles that the memory tire;
Not ancestry traced back to Will,
Who went from Normandy To kill;
Not Latin, Greek, nor Hebrew lore,
Nor thousand volumes rambled Ger,
Not Judges robe, nor Mayors mace,
Nor crowns that deck the royal race;
These all united never can
Avail to make a single man
A truthful soul loving mind,
Full of affection for its kind,
A helper of the human race,
A soul ofbeauty and of grace;
A spirit firm, erect aud free,
That never basely bends the knee;
That will not bear q iather's weight
of slavery's chain for small or great;
That truly speaks of God within,
And never makes league with sin;
That snaps the fetters despots make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God, and Him alone;
That trembles not at tyrnnt's nod
soul that fears no one but God,
And thus can smile at curse and ban;
This Is the soul that makes the man.

EFFECT ON WHEAT MARKET.-A Chicago dis
patch of the 2Gth, ult., says;
New York special says the prospect of a
terrible war between Russia and Turkey Just
developed by the cable dispatches, has created Il
hutter among spectators and dealers in the New
York grain market. Everybody has taken to
torecasting that the future effect of an Eastern
war on our markets will be of the highest con-
sequence. The shipment of Russian wheat by
the Baltic will shortly be stopped by the ap-
preaching Winter. If a war RACES on the Black
sea and closes the Dardaneles, the southern
channel for the shipment of wheat will also be
hermetically sealed, with the Russian supply
virtually cut off for the Winter. France, Ger
many and other parts of Europe will be forced
to rely on America for food, and the result will
be rapid rise in the prices of our cereals. The
aspect of the Eastern question is therefore
keenly watched.
