' ALTA CORRESPONDENTS,

Alta June I'd, 1878
EDIToI HERALD: With your permission I Will
make mention, through TIE columns of your val
liable paper, of few facts And incidents in con-
nection with this town aud its surroundings.
This is not as large place Sacramento or
Auburn, but it is a significant fact that the peo-
pie are prosperous and happy. We have nearly
all the facilities for a town of more than common
Importance, but hts are held at too high figure
for men of ordinary means to purchase
Quite large number Of men are employed OF
the mills of ToVle and Could, and the Bear
River hIlil Co. TAylor md ipickens are doing
quite an extensive business in connection With
their store, They have large contracts for rail
road wood, and deal in shakes..and bolts, ard are
also experimenting in the manufacture of hoops
made from q species of vih cherry. The cit-
zens of this place look with Q feeling of pride
and satisfaction upon alarse and commodious
school house, built by contribution last Sum-
mer. The district school is now in progress
and is taught by Miss C Lytle. The teacher is
spoken of very highly for her many accomplish
ments and able manner In VIII ch she elucidates
intricate questions and examples. The school
room is occupied in the evening, once week.
by the Alta Debating Club, and Church services
are held also once n week by the Rev. Mr.. Pneo.
Hon. T. NJ. Banvard has been to heavy ex-
pense this Spring in repairing and furnishing
his hotel, and identifying the adjoining grounds
His large and spacious dining room is a weekly
resort for those who delight to sport in the gay
and festive scenes of the dance and to prone
nade swing and keep step to the familiar old
tune, Buffalo Gals are you Coming out to-
night" Last Saturday night we were honored
with a voluntary visit by the Gold Run Brass
Band, which discouIsed some excellent music
for the dancers, and only retired at the signal
whistle Of the Stanford horse which was to con-
vey them back to Gold Run. This band was or
ganized under the supervision of Capt. Davidson
and consists of about twelve members. 1t was
put in training but short time since, but owing
to the thorough and systematic discipline of the
leader they have become an honor to their own
town and of service to the community.
But little is said here in relation to politics.
bat the anti-raroad men are somewhat interest
ed to learn what action will be taken on the apart
of the Democrats and Liberals to secure victory
in the coming election. 1t is notable fact that
the PLACER HERALD is paper much sought af-
ter, owing toits advocating the right principles,
although false delicacy prevents some from
rendering justice unto those to whom justice is
due. Yours Truly, S.A. H.

tobacco in Gny form are not only filthy habits,
but are damaging both to our physical health and
mental reasoning, and by teachers should be
treated accordingly. The common practice of
having the pupils sweep and do general chores
around the school we de not countenance and
think should never De required unless the pupils
seem anxious for the task to be sure the school
house should be kept neat and orderly and the
books in the library arranged systematically, but
this we think Is the duty of the teacher They
(the teachers> should play with the children in
all their sports, and be on the watch respecting
the use of their language correcting promptly
all ungramatcal, profane or quarrelsome express
sions, and settle any little misunderstanding
that may arise They Should be polite to their
pupils and require them to be polite to each
other. The use of nicknames should not be al
lowed. If teachers have rules laid down and
they or any one of them should be broken, the
offender should in no wise be excused from the
prescribed punishment, bei slight or otherwise.
Visitors of respectable character should be en-
couraged to visit the school, not alone on Fri
day but to call in at any time. Teachers should
be neat in person ant. require their pupils to be
the same They should not give their pupils too
long lessons, lessons that they cannot in reality
commit; but You say, the lcw says we must get
so far in such time. To this we would say, let
the pupile commit the most useful part and make
reading lessons of the rest, by doing so you will
find better success attend your endeavors to teach
your pupils something useful 'PupiM should not
be allowed to speak silly pieces at their Friday
afternoon exercises, or az any other time Tat
ting should not be allowed, and to prevent it
some punishment should be attached to the Of
Tense. There are many other things that a teach
er should attend to daily presenting themselves,
which when offensive should be checked at the
moment.
The above mentioned duties may by some be
considered too tritling to demand attention, but
if teachers no,c-d-doys would give more time to
the lille things of life which make the true lady
and gentleman, we would have less use for pla-
ces for the punishment and correction of adults
and very likely wiser and better class of people
in the next generation. One other suggestion
and i am done: There should be at all times o
union of effort between teachers and guardians
for it has long been demonstrated that nothing
satisfactory can be accomplished Dy one unless
the instructions of the other harmonize III every
essential particular. Yours,
You Know

Medicinal POisOns or. the Wane.

The'patrarchs took no mercury, no bismuth,
no iodine, no bromide of potassium, no strych-
ora, nc quinine. Happy old gentlemen they
did not even know of the existence of these "spe
cifcs, and yet they lived until it seemed as if
Death had forgotten them. Their medicines
were herbs and roots They have left this fact
on record, and the world seems now taking note
of it and returning to the first principles of med
ication. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, tie pur
est and most efficacious vegetable restorative of
the day, is also the most popular Thousands
Of persons who only q few years ago believed
implicitly In all the poisons which figure in the
pharmacGpia, now pronounce this palatable tom
ic and Alternative an al-sufficent remedy for dys-
pepsia, nervous debility, constipation, bilious
complaints headache, intermittent fevers, and
all the ordinary disturbances of the stomach, the
liver, the discharging organs and the brain. The
time is not far distant when most Of the power
full and venomous drugs now so recklessly adj
ministered by practitioners of the heroic" school,
IN cases that might easily be controlled by milder
treatment, will be utterly discarded by all phil
osophical ply sicians AS it is, the professionals
have already put the dangerous PREPARATION aside
and adopted Hostetter's Bitters in their stead as
safe and excellent household medicine adapt
ed to almost every ailment except the organic
and deadly contagious diseases. For more than
twenty years this famous restorative and preven-
tive has been annually Strengthening its hold up
on the public confidence, and it now takes the
lead of every advertised medicine manufactured
in this country.

BRIEF LocAIs.-Ihe officers are making some
progress in the search for the murderers of
Chas. s. Strobe, at Michigan Bluff, ON the oath
ult. We are in possession of some information
on the subject, which would not be proper to
make public now. Auburn has been duller
this week than usual, from which we infer the
Argus beggar is still plying his vocation. -.

SCHOOL iPtcNIC.-At 9 o'clock last Saturday
morning as per announcement, a goodly num-
her Of children representing the different schools
IN town, accompanied BY older members of their
several families, assembled at the Public School
grounds. With each family came basket heap
ed with the choicest eibies the cook best efforts
or the gardens choicest vines could produce. AT
800 the assemblage formed in procession, and
led by martial music, marched to the grounds
on the old Norcross lot, in the suburbs of town
The grounds had been well prepared for the oc-
casion; all underbrush and struggling limbs had
been cleared away, several swings put up aud
seated, long table erected and implements Sc
cured for various games of amusement. On
reaching the spot the baskets were, for the time,
placed beneath the spreading boughs of a large
hVe-oak, and the children, animated with the
thought of days uninterrupted freedom and
eniivened by the exhilirating breeze which sang
70 them song of ruddy health as it passed
'nfough the leafy tree-tops on its way from the
snowy peaks of the Sierras to the burning plains
q the broad valley below, were soon scattered
III little groups, making themselves merry with
'arlous innocent amusements. All was passing
e"yiy and with perfect satisfaction, when little
'sfore noon, Miss Lizzie Adrian was thrown from
"onggy when near the grounds, and very seri-
Oesly injured (see particulars elsewhere). The
''curfence of this sad accident, cast gloom
over what had just been merry throng. Though
'ue ''ole was spread with everything good to eat
1Ha IN great abundance,it it was partaken of with
poor relish. Merriment had ceased, and after
INNER many began to leave. The smaller chill
-eh unable to realize the condition of the in
'I'eo one' persisted for time but early in the
A'efnoon all, instead of to the Hall to dance, as
S" NV oeen the calculation, had retired to their
,,'omes with sad hearts, there to deplore the un-
40 @ppy fate OF the injured girl whose friends are
- numerous as her acquaintance.

SAD AccIDENT.--As Mlss LIZZIE Atiian and
Young lady from Sacramento we're being taken
TO the picnic grounds, last Saturday, IL Mr..
Lincgar's carriage. the horse SHE'D at the rust
ling of dry bush hy the wind and increased
his pace, and turning sharply upset the buggy,
throwing Mr.. Lincsar and the lady from Sacra-
'ncito on a bush and Mss Adrian on the hard
f,1und close by The two former were consid-
nrably bruised, but not seriously hurt. Miss
Adrian received a concussion of the brain and
Jther severe bruises that came near being fatal,
IT She can even now be said to be out of danger.
From Saturday noon to Wednesday noon it was
impossible for the physicians to give much as
sGrance of hope, it being doubtful if the base of
the skull was not injured, and fatal pressure
oI: the brain, but since that time Miss Adrian
has been improving and her doctors think she
will recover. 1t was terrible shock to her
brain and system, the blood oozing for hours af
Ter the accident from one ear. A surgeon from
sacramento made three visits, consulting with
the local physicians. Miss Adrian is an Auburn
Sr great favorite of bur people and the mel
ancholy accident and her dangerous condition
created deep regret and great alarm in the whole
"ommunity. We are pleased to say that she is
getting along favorably.
