our PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Present and Future Of che
Institution.

Our reporter has gathered the fol.
lowing notes from our public schools
The total attendance is nearly $50.
There are 80 pupils in the High
School and 50 in the Grammar De-
partment. The Principal, Miss Ed
mund, has charge Of both divisions,
the grammar grade having been trans
ferred TO the High School room, with
Miss Loschenkohl as assistant.
A class Of four will graduate from
the High School in June-Miss Lille
Berg, Michael McElroy, Miss Jennie
Dunkle and George Bliss.
Miss Plumstead has q we'll disci-
plined force Of 80 that are making
good progress.
Miss Phillips has charge Of a crowd
ed room, two-thirds Of her pupils be-
ing boys, who are polite and orderly
under her management.
Miss Steler's pupils are progressing
well, her little ones being charmed
with the introduction Of copy-books.
Mrs. Wendell manifests great skill
in managing her flock of 20.
The series of attendance cards
adopted by the Board of Education
have proved a success in regularity Of
attendance.
Teachers meetings will be held the
first Friday of each month, wherein
topics of discipline and advanced
methods will be discussed.
Miss Loschenkohl, Miss Plumstead
and Miss Steler are members OF a
Chautaqua club, holding weekly meet
ings.
Miss Edmund was recently made a
Doctor Of Mathematics by Boston Uni
versity, Of which institution she is a
graduate.
In a prize contest with questions in
mathematical astronomy, psychology
and trigonometry, the first prize wal
conferred on Miss Edmund by the
University of the city OF New York.
The teachers all say that Mr.. Trem-
bly, is the right one for Trustee, as he
is ever attentive to the wants OF the
school.
Mr.. Whitmore proved his generosity
by presenting to the school a set OF
Chambers Encyclopedia.
The general discipline of the schools
is very nearly perfect, and the public
schools Of Eureka are a credit to the
town.

Started for His Ranch.

Last Saturday r. Sadler, accom-
panied by Ed. Watkins, started for
his Diamond Valley ranch and got a
few miles beyond Diamond station,
finding they could not pull through
that day, they returned to Diamond,
stayed there over night and came to
Eureka the next day. They started
out again on Monday morning with a
wagon, driving four horses and lead
ing two. They took with them pro-
visions and blankets, intending to
push through to the ranch and camp
along the road if necessary.
LATER.-Sadler and Watkins ar
rived home last night. 1t took them
six days to make the round trip. Mr..
Sadler says it took a whole day, with
six horses and a sleigh, to make seven
miles. He also reports the snow to
be two feet and a half on the level all
over the section he travelled. Dead
cattle, he says, are Eel lying around
the ranches in large numbers.

Reflections Of an Old Man who
Fougnt Intemperanee o Years.
A number Of people were sitting sbout
~afountsin In 9 park. A venersble-look'
ing old man dipped up a cup Of water, and
going Dyer 10 q bench, he sat down and
placed the cup Of water beside him, and
then he took out q guar. bottle and placed
IL beside the wster.
mo one can accuse me Of playing the
traitor, said the old man, addressing some
one who stood near him, 81 have made
hundreds Of sacrifices and fought like q
hero, but / now knock under. The ma
jority Is against me, and / can do nothing
but bow my head in submission; and I will
now begin TO show my obedience TO the
popular will by proceeding TO fill myself
up with this liquor"
He took q drink from the bottle and then
took q swallow Of water.
Long and desperate fight" he contin-
ued. wiping his mouth. CT began 10
years sgo and not until to-day did I put it
down."
"whst fight do you mean2" asked the
man who stool near.

myself TO the ravsges OF the majority"
What ravages Of the MAJORITY What
do you mean7"
The old man took another drink from
the bottle, wiped his mouth and thus re-
piled:

where l was born and raised, and where
l was first persuaded to devote my life

votes against prohibition"
He snufied, wiped his eyes, tilted the
bottle again, and continued: Twenty.
Eve thousand majority against the work

And now, sir, l am determined that the
majority shant get away with me. / am

Colusa (Cal.) Sun: The Sun for
the past six years has been trying tC
get some one to stack straw with an
alternate layer of alfalfa fresh cut, and
not allowed to cure at all. John Boggs
informs us that he stacked in q barn
last year well cured hay with alternate
layers OF fresh cut alfalfa, and that ii
worked like a charm. All the aroma
of the alfalfa is retained. Amos
Roberts informed us also OF a dairy
man in one OF the bay counties who
tried it last year with straw, and he
says it is better Than green alfalfa, as
there is no danger from cows eating
too much OF it. They a the straw
up clean. This gentleman does not
pasture his alfalfa, as he finds it more
profitable to feed in this way. An
acre of alfalfa will feed more than
double as much stock by cutting and
stacking it with straw, as it will to
pasture. We are glad that the expert
ment is being tried, and that we can
announce its success The following
Of this plan will create vast wealth.
All the straw now burned can be
made as good as the best hay.

The pleasures Of sleighriding In COM
psny with a nice young lady may be
broken by a very simple incident ss was
exemplifed. last Thursday afternoon, when
a young couple passed up Main street In q
cutter behind a gay span Of horses belong
ing TO Pat Stanton. A dog rushed across
the street and caught one Of the horses by
the heels, and started both OF them of on
a pace more lively than was pleasant to
the occupants OF the sleigh. The young
man pulled the team into deep snow and
stopped them, but they, striking their
heels against the whifletrees, and being
already excited, started on q keen run.
When near the corner OF Henderson's
blacksmith shop the young lady seized one
Of the reins, causing the team TO make q
sudden turn, which threw the driver out
into the snow. The young lady, rather
than take desperate chances, then jumped
out. Both Of them escaped injury. as did
also the team, and no damage was done
to the sleigh. The team, in fact, behaved
very nicely after having landed their
driver. They bolted across the "big ditch"
on Buel street, and getting on to Spring,
made q neat turn on the Clark street
bridge and ran mp CLARK street, where Max
MeEwen jumped into the moving sleigh,
caught the reins and turned the team into
a deep snowbank alongside Of the Mob
Hill fire engine house, and there kept
them until they were cooled off. In the
mean time Pat Stanton followed them on
horseback and drove them towards the
stable. Judge Wilson and A. E. Kaye
then took the team, when they attempted
another dash. The latter held the reins
and kept them we'll in hand while on a
IN, and drove them up Eureka Canyon
to Tom Dixon's house. By this time they
got all the fun they wanted aud paced
quietly back to the stable,

TERRY'S TEAK.
He Missed It Twice, but the Third
Time He Helped Himself.

ne mfsseu III TWICE. Dut the Inifu
Time He Helped Himself.
A remarkably intelligent dog that
makes its home about the fre.engine
house on Ferry street station, has ex-
cited considerable attention of late for
p-recociousness, vouched for by several
persons. The 6remen are in the habit
Of sending the dog for it's own dinner,
and every noon a tin pail is given the
animal, which it takes in its mouth by
the handle and trots off to q butcher shop
near by. The butcher puts some meat
in the pail, and the dog brings it back
to the engine house before he touches a
morsel of its savory contents.
One day, two or three weeks ago, the
dog started off for its dinner as usual,
but when he arrived at the butcher shop
the butcher was too busy to attend to
him. Terry, the dog, growled and clanked
his pail about the floor; but at last,
becoming tired of waiting, trotted back
to the engine house with the empty pail.
The fremen knew the dog too well to
believe he had eaten his meal, and, con-
Guiding he had not been to the shop,
sent him back. Presently he returned
again with the pail still empty, for il
seems the butcher was still pressed with
customers. and preferred to wait upon
his two-legged before his four.legged
one. The mysti6ed fremen now told
the dog to be off a third time and get
his dinner. The dog stood still q mo-
ment, then, as if a bright idea had
struck him, he went off like a flash
without his pail. Presently he re-
turned with a large slice Of tender
loin in his jaws and wagging his tai
f~uriously. as if at his own sagacity
proceeded to devour the meat. Tht
6remen thought il was funny that tn,
butcher should be so generous. but said
nothing until a man came running NJ
TO the house and declared that the doI
had rushed into his butcher shop and
watching his chance, had seized q slic,
OF steak just as he placed it on hi
block. Inquiry was then made and i
was then learned that the dog, afte
being refused his meat at the accus
toned shop. had gone to a strange shoI
not far away.-N. Y. Star.

Abusing n Pillow.

A young lady school teacher of this
place, one night last week dreamed
that she was whipping one OF her
scholars, and from reports she certainly
had terrible time Of it. She walked
up the inmates of the house by scream
ing: Won't you be a good boy
wont you study your lessons-wont
you quit sticking pins in the scholars ?'
Her mother, thinking that something
must be the matter, rushed into the
young lady's room and saw her stand
ing up in bed beating, kicking and
otherwise abusing a pillow.

Mining and Metallurgicai Exhibi.
tiOn.

The guarantee fund OF the Inter.
national Exhibition Of Mining and
Metallurgy proposed to be held in
London this year is rapidly increasing
and we expect that the exhibition will
be held as proposed. We would like to
hear OF some OF our leading mining
men taking steps to have Eureka
District suitably represented. f. G.
Morrison Of this place has a collection
of mineral specimens from this State
and all parts Of the world, and it can
hardly be excelled by any other in
America. Mr.. Morrison is Just the
man to be sent from this State, if a
thorough knowledge Of mineralogy is
the requisite qualification to represent
us, and his collection would do us
great credit at any exhibition of the
kind anywhere in the wide world.

The Weather.

A January thaw commenced here
last Friday evening, followed through
that night and Saturday morning
by a very heavy gale Of warm wind.
A few hours Later nov commenced
falling and added four inches more
depth to that which had previously
fallen. The Chinook wind thawed
a great deal of the old snow and left
ground bare in some places, but piled
it up very deep in others. Along the
Eureka and Palisade railroad it had
the effect of filling all the hollows and
cuts along the track which had been
cleaned, and for miles north Of Alpha
a subsequent frost encrusted the rails
so that it had to be picked off, shovels
having become almost useless.
