MATTERS EDUCATIONAL.
FCommunicated.1 I

Mr.. EDITORS. In your last weeks issue. po-
was signed by the teachers of that school, and in
which they disclaim all participation in what
they please to term the spelling tournament
Now it is fact, which cannot be successfully
contradicted, that there are many teachers who
did take part in the spelling exercises that pos
sess certificates of as high grade, and are equal
ly as competent rs the card publishers; and the
question naturally arises Had they been present.
would the record have been any better There
are also several teachers in this county who had
nothing to do with the exercises, yet-much to
their credit-they have not seen fit to publicly
parade the fact before the people of Placer coun-
ty. On the othor hand, the communication to
which We refer furnishes conclusive evidence, to
our mind, that the teachers of Forest Hill school
are possessed of degree of egotism, which, to
say the least, must be disgusting to ell sensible
people, Yours, HARRY.
DEAR HERALn-As we are not well acquainted
with Placer county affairs, we want to ask one or
two questions of our Forest Hill teachers. Until
last week we ignorantly supposed that in this
county, as in Others teachers all united and
no one attempted to cast ridioule on others, but
rather tried to excuse all short comings; but we
were very much disappointed in finding our mis-
take. Now don't imagine this is wall from
some distressed school mann, who missed twenty
four words out of twenty-fve-not at all; for we
were too deeply interested in being sick, to at
tend these eventful days. But pardon US if we
are rude, tbs the first time we ever heard of true
teachers making their pathway brighter by
casting deeper shadow others; and if this
is Placer etiqette, pray excuse us from any more.
TEACHER.
Mr. EDTroR.-As some little feelngis growing
out of the spelling tournament, by the Placer
county terchers, at Auburn, 1 have struck the
following style Of spelling in paper, and as it
simplities the old method some, l propose to
give it, through your paper, to the teachers of the
county.

FATAL ACCIDENT. A miner on Georgia ravine,
near Gold Hill, named David King, accidentally
shot and killed himself Monday forenoon. He
was going from his claim to his dinner with
double barrel gun, and took a circle. Men
heard him Shoot and soon after second SHOT
was fired, when some one remarked King must
have found game plenty. At night King was
not at home and it was supposed that he had
gone to neighbors to stay all night On
Wednesday, his continued absence created
alarm, and some men went to the place where
the firing had been heard, and there found King
dead. He had shot hare and put it in his
game bag, and in the act of loading the
empty barrel, when the other barrel went
off, the charge taking effect under the chin, and
killing him instantly The ramrod was still i'll
the barrel he loading. King was native of
South Carolina aged So years.

FIRE AT THE Overwhelmingly morning,
about o'clock, the residence of Mr.. Shannon,
near the Auburn Depot, was discovered on fire,
and before anything could be done to check the
flames, the building was wholly destroyed with
most of its contents. We learn there was an
insurance on the property but whether for
enough to cover the loss, we don't, at this writ

PANoRAMA-The exhibition of panoramic
views, given by Prof. Potter, at the Court House,
last Friday evening, proved superior to the pub
lies anticipations. The house was crowded,
probably owing to the low price of admission,
rather than the anticipation of a grand show;
but all who attended agree in pronouncing it a
pretty good show" The scenes we're mostly
either very antiquated or very modern, which
fact alone would add to them certain degree of
Elnterest.

A PLEASANT T1ME.-The Odd Fellows picnic
|at Leets Grove, near Roseville, on last Saturday
EHas great success. Thirty car loads came up
Prom Sacramento, carrying full 1900 or 9, 600
people and from 800 to 1000 people from the
country made up fully 5000 picnicers. The
grounds are splendid, rolling praries with large,
Spreading oaks planted by nature so as to fur
|nish abundance of shade, carpeted with grass
|snd wild flowers, and no underbrush, making
them just the loveliest picnic spot imaginable
Dancing, dining private circles, socials, foot

extremely enjoyed by all present.

FROM THE PLANs.-A private letter from the
plains informs us that the hay harvest has COM
menced, somewhat earlier than usual, the
crop was hastened to maturity in consequence
of the very dry, warm Spring we have had. The
rain which fell about two weeks ago did almost
incalculable good to the growing crops though
they need more, and if more rain is not had,
and that soon, the grain crop will be as the hay
crop is, very light. Early grain, at present,
promises more than half crop, but without
additional showers, the late sown grain will be
an entire failure in acme parts. On what is
known as the red lands and bottoms nearer the
foothills, early sown grain will make fair crop,
in any contingency

EAppreciative audience. But the really amusing
Aha laughable part of the entertainment was pro-

How to Correct Children.

In all your fault findings and re-
Dukes about little things and common
things, use consideration for your
child's feelings. When there are little
personal fanits OF uncieanliness, IN.
tidinesS, want Of respectful manners,
selfshneSs, or greediness, do not notice
them publicly; shame is a weapon
which ought to be used sparingly, and
never with regard to venial errors
the child thus irritated and mortified
may amend the fault, in order to escape
a second admonition, but it will not be
done heartily. You have taken away
higher motives, and destroyed the
pleasure which amendment would have
given. You have made her almost
ashamed to amend, feeling as if every
eye was watching her improved con-
d:;ion. Had you whispered the fault
kindly and gently, with an evident de-
sire for good and comfort, it would
have been the JOY of her heart to have
pleased you by the clean hands, tidy
hair, mended garment, and respectful
courtesy. Nothing will teach this con-
sideration for the young but love alone
Voc be to the home, the school. and
the children, where love is not the lead
ing principle! A proverb beautifully
says: Love rules mis- kingdom with
out 4 sword" Were every child sway
ed by this powerful and holy sceptre.
there would Of no Frightened looks be-
fore the teachers face, and rude jests
hshind her back; there would be fewer
PrniSh!nents, fewer falsehoods, fewer
!Trants in heart, more good learned,
and therefore less evil incurred, than
is 100 often the case. When dislike,
instead CT love, is felt fer those who
teach US, far worse results take place III
hsart and mind than i; we were !ett
altogether unt+aght. II is told Of j
