for the Denocrets


Pupils OF the Public school Of Cleroi<ss.


Your exhibition of Wednesday last gave
great satisfaction. but to none more than to
your superintendent. It spoke plainly Of many
days of close and constant application. Ittold
that the merited commendatiOn and applause
given in the decorated ball, was dOubly your
due In abe plain and humble schoolroom.
where for months you have patiently toiled-
toiled, no doubt. many of you, under great dis
advanta ges; often without encouragement from
the cheering visits of friends and relatives.
Your Superintendent fully understands all
your trials and sacrifices, and sincerely sympa-
thizes with you. He knows the sorrow OF the
tender bud, leaving fond and too indulgent
mother, for the kind yet less indulgent teacher,
where books and duties are substituted for toys
and pleasures. He understands the sacrifices
made by the opening flower, to obtain the just
mead of praise due to worth and merit alone,
when it would be SO readily granted to its beau
ty and freshness; and also of the impatience OF
the maturing fruit, remaining concealed by it's
protecting foliage until its bright and golden
hue proclaim its fitness for the purposes and
duties of life. But you are now amply re-
warded for all these trials aud sacrifices, not
only BY the applause of your friends and rela-
tives, but by the information you have ac-
quired under the guidance of your most excel
lent teacher, whose satisfaction at your success
is greater than your own.


You no doubt desire and expect your Super
intendent to award the degrees Of merit among
the pupils OF the exhibiton,-that award must
be made, If at all, by your kind aud accom-
pished teacher. She alone is sufficiently skill
ed and cognizant of all the facts to justify such
an undertaking. Yonr Superintendent must
decline making any comparisons between the
forming, but opening flower, aud maturing
fruit--they are all alike TO him of equal and
abiding interest. Though you should at oil
times cherish and cultivate q worthy emula-
tion, let it never descend to strife. envy or dis
cord. Enjoy your vacation which you sOjustly
merit by your past conduct and industry; and
when your school opens again, show at once
that the fears are groundess, that the applause
Of the public will make you vain and idle;
show that it has had the opposite effect, Of ma
king you more orderly and respectful 10 your
conduct and that it has increased your industry
and pplicatior-that such will be its effects, il
truly the belief and wish of your Superinten-
dent.

MErEoR.-.A brilliant meteor was observed
BY many of the citizens of Placerville. about
ten o'clock, last Wednesday evening. The o.
server of Saturday, says:


The meteor was about the apparent bulk of the
full moon, and was so intensely brilliant that sur.
rounding objects weresas plainly visible as at noon
day. Attention was first directed to this strange OBJ
ject by dull, roaring sound overhead, and BY the
vivid glare of light which instantly followed. The
body swept quite across the heavens from northeast
to southwest at an unusually slow pace, occupying
fully quarter of minute in the transit The light
which it emitted when at the zenith was Of blush
cast but as it descended towards the horizon, the
meteor exploded and fell to the earth in fragment:
of deep red hue. For nearly an hour after the me-
teor had disappeared tits path through the heaven.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Rcliable information has
been received that the negotiations between the
English Government and the New York, New
Foundland and London Telegraph Company have
reached point which admits of no doubt about

reliable source that the Atlantic Company are ac-
lively engaged in making the most thorough tests

the necessary contracts at an early day.
In the meantime the Company have decided to

The Santa Fe Gazette, owned by an U States Indian agent, edited by one Johnson, and long known as brazen pufing g-machine for clique of contractors and certain army officers, finds fault because no editorial name is announced in the Arisonian. This is altogether a matter of taste We know of newspapers that would be more respected if the editors name was not published. The Gazette is also greatly exer- cised concerning some few preliminary facts we published in reference to the contract system of the army it's operation in this vicinity, and the want of proper military force in a country whose great mineral resources are fast developing We anticipated all this from the Gazette. Nu- merous friends warned us pathetically and sol emly that to touch these tender points would cause storm-in-a-te9.pot at Santa Fe However we are not seriously alarmed. We publish paper for the benefit of the people and the Ter rltory-a course of conduct with which the Ga zette IS entirely unacquainted and as we have the countansnce of our entire population, and the good wishes of many intelligent army off cers v'ho desire to see abuses corrected, we progose to keep on, hoping to do some good.
