running WILD on SCHOOLS County Superin-
tendent Knkade has received further instruc
tons from the State Board that is likely to make
him a fyingmachinH. The thing runs about this
way. All schools must be positively and lawfully
graded after July 1st, 1873. The Superintend-
ent must visit and grade the classes. Whenever
a class wishes to enter higher grade the Super
intendent must examine them, and if satisfactory,
by his order send them up. This he must do
as often as classes want to be promoted. There
are Al schools in the county and as he could not
visit them in rotation, We may say, to him they
are Al miles apart; the classes in each school
ought to be regarded abont four times year,
and he should visit them that often. To grade
a school and thoroughly examine it will take two
days Then we have 2S952 miles for the Su-
perintendent TO travel a year, about 1000 miles
more than around the world. If he travels 20
miles day it will take him 1443 days to get to
all the schools, just 07S more days than are in
the year, and 37S days to do the examining, just
- days more than the year contains. Bully tor

FREAKS OF THE FKosr--On Thurs ny and Fri
day of last week we had severe frosts doing
more or less damage. At Threlkll's ranch
Nickason's. and other points from two to five
hundred feet lower than Auburn, vines, plants
and fruits were considerably injured while here
on the hills, and even higher up in the noun
tains, nothing to speak of was injured This We
have known to be the case over and over again
in the foothills. We have no doubt of the cause
of these seeming freaks of the frost, and we may
now as well give our theory to the public. The
richer, moister valleys in the foothills furnish
heavy dews at night which, when the tempera-
ture falls low enough, freezes, thus destroying
fruts buds and tender plants. There is an
upper current of dry air that sweeps over the
hills and elevated hillsides and plateaus, from
the ocean and great valleys in the day and from
the Sierras at night. These take up the dews
that might otherwise form on the Vegetation
there and thus prevent frosts. The time is CON-
ing when the hills will be chosen as the favored
OTIS for the most tender fruits and vegetation,
and water for irrigation is all that delays that
day.

IMPORTANT News The telegraph informs us
that the railroad has moved to dismiss tie tax
suit of Placer county VS.. the c. p R. R.. which
has been argued and submitted in the United
States Supreme Court. In the absence of far
ther particulars wenterpret the action as follows
The case was about to be decided against the
company, and the decision woud virtually settl
and dismiss the seven cases now pending on in
junction i'll the United States Circuit Court at
San Francisco. This would make the company
dissorge large amount of money due these
seven counties, at once, which they may keep
for two or three years while the cases may drag
their slow length in their regular course in the
United States Courts. Thus they will now pay
Placer some S24, 600 that was due in 1861 nearly
five years ago, that it may cheat the seven coun-
ties ont of the taxes now due, for two or three
years more, with the ultimate hope of securing
enough of its creatures on the Supreme bench
through Grant to finally escape taxes altogether
Can man be friendly to the rascalities Of this
company and be true to the public? Answer this
question, taxpayers of Placer.

WEATHER AND CRoPs.-Perhaps we should not
complain of the weather yet, or despair of crops.
The farmers of Placer are fortunate in having a
soil that stands drouth well, and what are term
ed dry seasons elsewhere in the State, are gen
erally the most profitable years TO the farmers in
Placer county, they having generally, even in
these seasons, fair yields, and obtaining better
prices f'r their surplus. We have had next to
no rain for near forty days, and yet our agricul-
turists do not complain much except that the
ground is too dry to pillow for next years Sum
mer-fallow. The critical time with wheat and
barley has passed. the heads having formed, end
the yield that follows depends entirely on wealth
er, and capacity of the soil to retain moisture.
The dry blighting north winds that prevailed a
few days ago did much damage to grain pros
poets. These winds are more blighting to grain
fields than the absence of rain. On the whole,
there is not yet any real reason why our cultiva-
tors of the soil and fruits should be discouraged.

GRAxD CoNCERr.--The children and parents
Of the Auburn singing school, under Professor
Foster, have determined to give grand concert

inst, in aid of the classes, and to try and make
the future lessons of the school free to all chill
dren. The ladies' of Auburn we learn from Pro
fessor Foster, have signihed their intention t.
forward the movement, which insures it com
ing success. At the concert readings. dialogues,
speeches. addresses, singing of select pieces by
scholars and by classes, etc, etc. will be the
chief features of the exercise. Miss Nellie Cos
ter will preside at the piano, Professor j. W.
Crow, of Sacramento, and Mrs. Reamer and

OBITUARY.
Miss Alice z, Meagher, whose untimely death is
noted above, was born at Condemned Bar, on the
American River in this State, on the l4th day of
January 1854. Since 1855 she has lived in this
county and by the sweetness of her disposition and
her kindness Of heart, had gained the affections Of
all her friends aud associates while the uniform
gentleness of her department forher the respect
Of all within the circle of her acquaintance. The
poignant grief of those who knew her best, and the
unfeigned sorrow that prevades the community
generally in consequence of her death, attests the
high regard in which she was held.
1t is always sad to be called upon to mourn the
loss of those we cherish and esteem, but when one
is so suddenly taken from midst in the bloom of
youth, when the future seems full of promise and
the heart is full hope, it is sorrowfu indeed and
with mournful emphasis we are led to exclaim
"Oh what a shadow ore the heartis fung q
When peals the requiem of the loved and young. y
