LOCAL HEEVIElES.

The steamer Mohongo will arrive
next Sunday.
The town is crowded with strangers.
The hotels are full.
The Telegraph Line stage was de-
layed last night till very late.
Five car loads of steamer freight ar
rived at the depot yesterday afternoon.
The next steamer will bring crowds
from San Francisco, Santa Barbara,
and their associate towns, to attend
the fair.
To-day is the last of the Education
al Convention. A surprise is in store
ut the Convention of teachers. Let all
be present.
Three of Mr.. Andrews teams left
the depot yesterday loaded with as
sorted merchandise for Cerro Gordo;
also one team for San Bernardino.
Mr.. Green, the agent for the "Halla-
day Patent WINDMILL" is putting up
an 1s-foot mill for Mr.. Beaudry, on
Beaudry Place, to pump water for irri-
CATION and other purposes.
Last night Madame Duret played
Jack Sheppard, and made a success.
The play was the best which has been
put on the boards by this company.
The HERALD's space forbids any fur
ther mention this morning.
On the first page of the HERALD
will be found an interesting article
upon the subject of dairy farming,
from the pen Of an intelligent gentle
man who has made study of the
matter.
The O'Neal's, father and son, were
discharged from custody yesterday.
The Grand Jury failed to find that
there was any presumptive evidence on
which to hold them. The murder of
the Indian at the Encino Ranch,
therefore, still remains mystery.
Hotel building and repairing seems
to be in order just now, in this city.
Determined not to be outdOne in this
direction, Messrs. Hammel & Denker,
of the United States, have nearly COM
pleted re-carpeting of the halls, par
lors and sleeping apartments of their
popular house, so that, when COM
pleted, the interior arrangements will
be as new as the newest. 1t would
seem, by the patronage this house re-
ceives, that it's greatest need is an en-
largement to about double its present
capacity.
The elegant barouche of J. J. Rey-
nolds, now being made at the carriage
shop of Page & Gravel, is nearly COM
pleted. 1t will be ready for service on
Monday next, at which time Mr.. r..
will exhibit homemade vehicle that
eclipses anything "On wheels" here
abouts. This masterly piece of work
of Messrs. Page & Gravel, clearly
demonstrates the fact that carriages
and vehicles of every description can
be manufactured here, so as to COM
pare favorably, in style and workman
ship, with the best Eastern manufac-
lures.
The following passengers left this
city for San Francisco, per steamer
Orizaba, which sailed yesterday morn
ing: Mrs. Hartenstein, Mrs. Grape, A.
Brown, j. A. Campbell wife and six
children, J. II. Stonbridge, Mrs.
Hughes, A. j. Hanscom wife and ewO

Question = Should children learn

Question - Should children learn
their lessons at home?
Considerable discussion took place
both by teachers and parents. II
| seemed the prevailing impression that
this should depend upon the age of the
student. Young children ought not
to study at home, while Older ones
should.
Mr.. Waldron, of the Cienega, gave
an exercise in grammar. His class
were young children ten or eleven
years of age. He developed good
lungs, active minds, and good knowl-
edge for young pupils. His pupils did
not seem to possess the ordinary hatred
of grammar, as an abstract study.
Their little brains will always retain
the knowledge given them, and will
pursue the study with pleasure. They
are fortunate in their teacher. The
class had received but eighty lessons,
and average ten years in age.
After recess DR.. Lucky explained the
use of Boards Presentation Reading
Course, to interest young children in
reading.
Mr.. Furlong read an essay on ele-
mentary law i'm the public schools.
He thought the subject worthy of con-
sideration. In Rome law was studied
in the common schools. Cicero tells
us the study of the twelve codes was
customary in the schools. Every per-
son is amenable to the law, and the
government under which he lived.
How can man have respect for the
government and it's lawsl unless he
knows that upon which they are
founded? Here, especially, the people
should understand the elements of law,
because they are Gthe law makers.
In the Legislature there are few
legal minds, and the legal work is
left to few operators, not always the
best men. Those who have no OppOr-
tunity of knowing what the laws are,
often are sent to the legislature. They
are Outwitted at every point by the
sharper representatives of monopoly
and mOnOpOlists. Educate the child
rem in the schools in law and when
they become men and representatives,
thev will remedy these things.
Many of our Offic as cannot put a
proper Interpretation upon the laws
they are called upon to execute. They
should be educated in this respect.
Mans liberty must be in narrow
compass when he knows not its limits.
The practical value of law is great.
1t is practical in the school room. 1t
is not difficult in it's rudiments. A
series of text books should be made;
and as soon as pupils study history
and grammar, put them into law.
Give them an analysis of the consti-
stitutiOn of the United States, and of
their own State; then the elementary
principles of law depending upon
these. Not that all should be law
yers; but that all should know law.
Mr.. Du BOis asked at what age a
boy should be instructed to draw his
fathers will.
Considerable merriment, and some
desultory talk followed.
On motion the sentiments avowed
in the essay were endorsed.
On motion adjourned.

The WORK BEFORE Us.-The follow
ing is an extract from an address de-
livered at Harvest Grange feast in
Damascus, ILL.,, lately, by f. Hatch
away:
The chief work of the Order of Pa
irons of Husbandry is to lift the farm
ing class to higher standpoint of in
telligence and refinement. True, it is
ready and more than willing to assist
the farmer in attaining material pros
perity, but we must be careful not to
overlook the great object of its organi-
zation. In our day the tree of know
ledge is the tree of life, and if the farm
ing class will only partake more plen-
tifully of the fruit Of the tree of know
ledge their days will be longer and
SUMMER and more prosperous in the
land. There was time when brute
force conquered and ruled classes, and
even nations, but the world is
changing, "and the thoughts of men
are widened with the process of the
sum-" Now brains, not brute force, is
the winner, and the man, class of the
nation will win at last, though the
struggle be ever SO long. The farmers
and their families work hard with
their hands.

EDITOR HERALD:-Wb0se business
is it to see that the city ordinances
are complied with? We pay a City
Attorney, Marshal, Mayor, and
several policemen. Surely it is the
business of some of them to see that
the laws are obeyed. We have an Or
dinance fixing fire limits in the city,
and this law Is violated every week;
and no one will try to prevent it.
When the authorities are spoken to
they refuse to act, and say, "the Coun-
ell violated the law first, by builing
an engine house." If we understand
the law, the Council has the right to
grant to any person to build frame
building in the fire limits. They
granted that permission in building
the engine honse. But no one can build
such house without their permission.
We hope that the Council will see to
it, that these disgraceful huts are pull
ed down. CITIZEN.

nure. The preparations of sulphate of
ammonia and phosphate of lime came
next, the heterogeneous matter seeming
to assist in the solution Of the mineral
ingredients of the soil. The results
with other combinations We're no bet
ter than on unmanured portions. The
average results were very good, as the
soil was naturally a good one, had
been we'll MANFRED in previous years,
was thoroughly drained, and kept clean,
and it was only in the last years Of the
experiments that the above differences
manifested themselves. In one par
ticularly dry season, the portion treated
with stable manure was most produc-
tive, and the unmanured portion next;
indicating, that in dry seasons concen-
trated. artificial fertilizers had an injur-
ious rather than a beneficial effect
Stable manure, on the contrary, seemed
not only to generate moisture in its de-
composition, but also to attract moisture
from the atmosphere. With beans, the
second best crop was obtained 10y the
use of alkalies alone, or combined with
other manures The general results
seem to substantiate the observation
that the use of mixture of all the fer
tilizers essential to plant growth, espe-
cially of the three in which the soil is
deficient, viz: nitrogen, potash, and
phosphoric acid, is better than employ
ing them separately; since one, by
reason of the accidental deficiency of
the others in the soil, may not be able
to exert its full effect. The author con-
cludes that it is possible, by mixture
of the active ingredients of Peruvian
guano, to produce substitute for that
fertilizer

DOES FARMING PAY.

W. Brown, of Rockland Co., n. H.
discusses this question in a communica-
ton to the GERMANTOWN TELEGRAPH
in the following plain practical fashion
Farmers do not live up to their privi-
leges They may have as good living
as those in towns who expend three or
five thousand annually for that purpose.
Their tables may be better supplied, the
articles of much better quality, as fresh
vegetables, butter, milk, cream, eggs
and fruit. A horse and carriage; more
leisure reckoning the articles consum-
ed by the farmers family at the price
his city friend is forced to pay, we
shall not find as much difference as one
would suppose. 1t would be found
more apparent than real.
1t is the few in occupation that ac-
quire fortunes. Where one succeeds,
multitudes fail. Perhaps as large a
proportion of farmers grow wealthy as
in other class of equal means. If
people would live as economically as
formerly, probably as much money
could be laid up as at any time. Habits
of extravaganza have done much to
bring the business into disrepute. And
it is visible in almost everything.
Houses and furniture, clothing, horses,
carriages, harness. \ stable-keeper re-
Gently informed me that formerly he
found ready sale among farmers for
his secondhand carriages, after running
them for year or two. Now there
was no demand from that quarter The
best was none too good for them. So
in almost everything else the farmer
vies with others for the best; hence so
long as the desire to make show and
Guido others is the leading idea, money
must be scarce the cry of hard times
will be hard If people would study
camfort and not seek to follow the fash
ions, much useless expense would be
avoided a great reform in public
opinion is needed Rural life should
be made more popular, and domestic
service more respectable.
Nothing but mistaken ideas have
produced the clamor that farming does
not pay, and that it is an unworthy oc-
cupation. With all the drawbacks
many do make and ARE making money
by farming; and time only is needed to
show the truth of what | have written
In the meantime let us go on and trust
mother earth, knowing that in the end
we shall come out all right.
