Various Hoppenings In and Out of Town. The tunnel of the Ocean Star mine near Washington is now in sixty feet. District Attorney Gaylord yesterday filed an information for robbery ‘against John McCarty. A number of private residences en Aristocracy~-Hill are being r modelled, and repainted. Mrs. Sarah Foulkes, a native of Wales, was naturalized in the Superior Court yesterday, The trial of the case of Frank Coffey vs. Henry Powell commenced in the Superior Court yesterday. The Pittsburg mine is to be started up again. There has been but little work doneon it for a long time. John Hooper, a native of England, yesterday declared his intentions to become a citizen of the United States. * A few days since Rev. J. Sims lost his cane while riding in from Pine Grove Cemetery. The finder will be rewarded upon. returning it to him. Mrs. Rogers, Directress of the concert to be given at the Theatre to-morrow evening, has extended to the Transcript the usual press courtesies. Large droves of sheep and cattle are being driven: into the mountains. The grangers are very partial to vhe grass that: grows in the slickens country. The eight criminal cases before the Superior Court this term have all resulted in convictions. District Attorney Gaylord tries to be sure he's right before going ahead. The mines on Deer creek require an immense amount of timber to keep their insides in ahape. There is headed that way a constant procession of wagons loaded with lagging. Samuel Tyrrell, W. K. Spencer and J. P. Stone were re-elected last Saturday ag members of the Grass Valley Board of Education. The large vote they received indicates with their services heretofore and want some more of the same kind. The Chinese Laundries, _—sift Much consternation has been caused by the announcement of the Chinese laundrymen that they will close their establishments next Saturday rather than submit to the raise in licenses of from $10 to $30 ®, quarter which then goés into effect. One hotel proprietor who now pays $11 a week for washing avers that it there is no Chinese competition, and numerous other cases of a_ similiar character are being cited to the City Trustees as a reason why they Should goback tothe old rates. It is believed by many that the Mongolians are only trying ‘to bluff the city government, and that in case of a failure to do so they will open branch ‘establishments outside the corporate limits. _ If they do not work more than three hands in a laundry within the city limits, they “escape the tax entirely. A Veteran Speaks. Epftror Transcrnt:—Your _ remarks to-day about the action of our President in ordering the Mexican Veterans to meet at Grass Valley on the Fourth would be merited, were it not for the fact that the President determined to parade us there before he knew there would be a celebration at Nevada City Nrvapa, June’26. Vet. As the celebration at Nevada.CVity was a fixed fact before the one in Grass Valley township had been determined upon, and as the exact condition. of affairs must have been known to the worthy President. of the veterans—that is if he keeps himself posted at all, the remarks in yesterday’s TRANSCRIFT. about ‘‘cheek”’ were right to the point. Burned to Death at Sicrraville. A Truckee.dispatch says that the tin shop of A. Smith, at Sierraville, was discovered to be on fire Monday morning. Smith, *in ‘the hope of saving some of his property ‘from the building, rushed in, was overcome by the heat and smoke and perished Is Me Alive or Dead?. Charles H.

S, Parker, Wellivgton, Q., says: “While crossing Lake Erie, I gave it to some~fellow-passengers who were seasick, and it gave immediate {given to solve. a Mr. O'Neill Propounds Some More Inquiries to Mr. Cowtlery. A short article’ concerning Mr, Cowdery’s examples appeared’ in Sunday’s TRANSCRIPT. This article purports to come from a pupil of the Oakland School. Iclaim Mr. Cowproblems. wrote the questions, he probably wrote or ‘reviewed the. questions when placed onthe board. If Mr. Cowdery marked the questions he must have looked over every question written by members of the class. Teachers usually know what questions they have givena class, and usually keep the pupils’ papers and the examination paper, This last, Mr. Cowdery kept, or how did the questions get into the Transcrier of January llth? If any gross blunder was made in the printing of the problems, why didn’t Mr. Cowdery know it and have them corrected last January? When the problems were published last Friday, and solutions call ed for, why didn't Mr. Cowdery hasten to the TranscriPT office and correct these questions? Iam fully satisfied that the problems published last Friday are the ones handed to the Transcript for publication on or just before January 10th, 1882 In support of my position I submit the following evidence: Saturday forenoon, June 24th, 1882, Mr. Cowdery was asked if in example No. 2 of the examples recently published he inte: ded to have al'owance made for the position and motion of the heavenly bodies. Mr. Cowdery said that he did, He was then offered $20 for all the correct answers to two of the examples and did not at that time make or attempt to make any corrections in the astronomical example. Si-ned, J. G, O'Neill. Witnesses—J. G. Hartwell, E. P. Hubbard. ‘“‘Pupil’s” statement came to the TRANSCRIPT office in the afternoon of Saturday. Who wrote it is not under consideration. Mr. Cowdery’s capacity to tell the truth can also be considered later. The question now is—Why hasn’t Mr. Cowdery solved the problems? These problems must have been used in class and in examination. The questions were published last January. Again, three of the problems have been published, the answers called for and an abundance of time Again we ask— Why hasn’t Mr. Cowdery explained and solved the problems? That work belongs to him. One of two reasonable hypotheses may be selected. Either Mr, Cowdery previous to Saturday forenoon ‘didn’t know that there wasanything to be explained in the problems,” or he now sees that he can’t give an arithmetical solution to the problems. ‘But the problems must have each been-marked about ten in the examination. How else could ‘the following credits be made by the pupils ‘pamed?” (Names reserved) ‘97, 98, 99, 99, 99.’ It is not my intention to take any advantage in this discussion. If I intended any such advantage I would ask right here if you —always give ten credits on qnestions you can’t solve yourself? , CONCERNING THE PROBLEMS, A farmer sells 6 horses and 5 cows for $945. If } the price of « horse and 5-9 the price of a cow is $115, what did he receive for_each ? The examination purports to be an examination in arithmetic. The first question is a p'oblem in algebra. A reasonable way of solving it is to let x. equal the price of a horse, andy equal the price fo a cow, then 6x plus 5y equal $945; and 9x plus 5-9y equals $115; then by elimination dispose of one of the unknown quantities and find the value of the other. Having found the value of one of the unknown quantities, substitute that value in one of the equations, and tle second value readily appears. Any use of “horse” and ‘‘cow,” or any other words or apy fractions tised to represent the quantities .will not change the nature of the problem. The second problem: New York is 742 30° W. L., San Francisco 122> 45’ W.L. Ifan eclipse of the sun is visible in New York at 35 minutes past 2 o’clock'P. M . at what time would it.be visible in San Francisco ? The second problem isa problem in astronomy. The data given for solving the problem is entirely insufficient, therefore the prob!em cannot be worked. : a An eclipse of the sun for our planet results only from the moon coming between it andthe sun. All parts of thé earth darkened by an eclipse are not darkened at the same instant. Hence fining the difference of longitude, and from that the* difference of time between New York and San Francisco does not solve the above ‘example. A couple of evenings’ observation, would be enough to show, what nearly all have observed, that the moon moves around the earth from west to east. If New York and San Francisco are both to witness the same eclipse, the eclipse will be first seen at San Francisco. It is farther to the west. Then as the moon moves eastward in the heavens, the shadow or eclipse will move east on the earth. If the earth did not rotate, the eclipse would move about 3400 kilometers or 2100 miles per hour. (Page 175, Newcomb and Holden’s Astronomy, 1881.) so rotates at the same time from west to east, the apparent rate of motion DISCUSSION: dery is the person interested in the . He made or selected, and } As teacher, . -Hth, 1880,is-an—article—folowing+ “““What’s the matter?” ‘needs an answer. As the'earth al-. P NEVADA CITY rate of the motion of the shadow, therefore, varies from 1200 miles to 2100 miles per hour. (Same authority, p. 176.) Why this variation in rate of motion? A few of the reasons are: The earth moves in an elliptical orbit, and the sun is in one of the fovi of the ellipse. A straight line from the center of the sun. to the center of the earch swe-ps over equal areas of this ellipse in equal times (same authority, Kepler’s second law p 123.) But since the earth is‘fatther from the sun at one season than at another, it follows that the earth moves’ over tinequal areas of the ellipse in most equal times.» It makes a difference whether the eclipse occurred at or near the first of July or at or near the first of Janvary. liptical orbit, and in a constantly moving orbit at that. It makes a difference then what year thie eclipse occurred To solve this problem, one should have given, the position of the moon in its orbit at a certain time and be able by Celestial Mechanics and trig onometrical solutions to determine the gxact position of the moon in its ed ge any future time and the angular motion of the moon at that time. Being able to do this, with a few other computations, it would be possible Ithink to determine when the shadow from an eclipse would strike the earth. Now some slight computations would be needed to determine the line on wnich the eclipse would. be central. Also another delicate computation woald be needed to determine the time when a point ina curved line, having met a given point, San Francisco (no latitude given) the same curved line at some other point will meet another point New York (no latitude given,) These are a few points suggested to one not an astronomer. What othe: ints might an astronomer see ? One F chin of, with the necessary data, is a long period of work. The next problem. No, 5 of the examination, is: A tield contains 29,855,296 sq. ft.-W hat would it cost to feuce it at $1.25 per rod ? This example hae an intinite number ot right answers, If a field were rectangular, one foot wide, then there would betwo fences 29,855,296 It. long and two end fences one ft. each in length. At so* much per rod, that answer iseasily found. If the field be rectangular and two {t. wide, then there will be two fences, each 4 uf 29,855,296 ft. long, and two fences two feet long, of this fence is a second answer different from the first. Any length may be takem for two sides of the field in the rectangular ‘form. Any other form may be assumed, as that the field is cir: cular or eliptical, is triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal and so on to figures of any numberof side regular orirregular. Every different answer correctly computed will be a right answer. : The data bercis.insufficient to make this an exaet-example. Whileto the astronomical example no answer can be obtained for want of data for want of the same materia] every number ot dollars provided it is large enough, answers for the example. Wonder ful problems to publish for public in spection, Tn explanation of these problems, Mr. Cowdery himself might have an swered that he had seen problems hke these in arithmetics, The nearer these are to any in arithmetics, the worse the case for the arithmetics. Even though misery does like company, if the company is. miseraule it’s Of littleadvautage. It 1s the province of the teacher to know what the minds of his pupils need, and to recognize the article when he -sees-t.—To-speak-of hair sp itting in connection witb these P obiems would be absurd. — Certainly there was no hair splitting in not knowing whether an example was an example in arithmetic, algebra or astronomy, or whether data euough had been: given to bring an example to having one or an intivite aumber of answers, Mr. Cowdery has shown, in these problems an entife lack of di«crimination, Ofvall the powers of the mini this power of discrimination is al! impertant as an educational factor. The power of discriminating distinguish28 the mind ofnearly every grown person from that of the infant, the mind of the scientist from that of the idiot. Finally this power of discriminating obtains for the mind all the material trom which is produced thonght and reason from the simplest to the most complex. = ‘‘Mind starts from discrimination.” ‘*The retentive powet works up to the height of the discriminative power; it can do.no more.” ‘Our intelligence is therefore _limited by our power of discrimination.” (Education as a Science, by Baine.) In conclud ng the above digcussion, I submit Mr. Cowdery’s intellect (not his probity) for measurement in the light of the examples considered and the educational principles set forth. In the Transcatet of Feb. 7th, 1882, appeared au article taken from a Stockton paper. Iusinuations were made in that article that ought to have been auswered. Not having the needed numberof the TRANSCRiPT I will intimate some of the :eferences then made and you may answer: In the Stockton Herald of Dec. the questions of the fourth day of teachers’ examination, then being held in Stockton. The article is entitled “tA Resignation of a Meimber of the Board.” Another title is, A short quotation from under this is enough. “The majority of the Board became satisfied that Mr. Cowdery had not acted with that degree of impartial ity in the e\amination’. that should characterize an examiver’s conduct This is evident from the fact that oue applicant, who received a sufficient number of credits to ‘entitle her to-a certificate, was refused a certificate on the ground that she} bad received ass:stance.” te I th.nk the above meters ‘ae i “‘glitering generalities.” ae ai ae We shall’ also need in the answer tow asked for, ‘proof that you area graduate of Union College.

On Sunday-a Union reporter procured one of M. Byrne & Co’s. good buggy teams, and went to Nevada City. The reporter was accompanied by his family, and the ride ‘hrough that mountain city was pleasant in the extreme. When once out in the neighborhood of the dwellings the whole scene isfchanged. The residences are all cozy, vineclad, and home-like, aud give one_ the. idea that the dwellers there must of necessity be happy and _ content. The gardens are-a profusion of flowers, green lawns and pleasant shade and frnit trees. The houses all. look asif they had been newly painted and beautiful this Spring, so clean and neat they appear. A large number of the dwellings have pretty bay windows in which the occupants may sit of a summer afternoon and enjoy the view of the surroundings, or read, chat ani ‘pass the, happy hours away,” When persons visit Nevada City they should not content themselves by merely. taking a look atthe business portion of the town for that alone gives » poor idea of the extent of the place and the beautiful homes that adorn the surrounding bills.__In his rambles the reporter noticed also that a great many pew dwelling houses were being erected—in one locality no less than four are being built, all of modern style, and looked as if the people who vccupied them meant to say right there. In all parts of the city new dwellings were being erected, and not one vacant house was noticeed. Nevada is a beautitul little mountain city, and if her resources are not cut off by the heartless’ people o’a few worthless farms in the immediate vicinity of the rivers, it will continue to grow and flourish for many years to come, e— Three to Two. The County Board of Education met yesterday to consider the testimony in the case of Misses Mary McAuliffe, Ada Deacon and Maggie Ryan, tried on a charge of unprofessional conduct while writing for certificates at the last Teachers’ Examination, John T, Wickes, County Superintendent and Secretary of the Board, offered a resolution to the ef— fect that the certificates of the three young ladies be revoked. E. M. Preston seconded the resolution. The vote on the adoption of the resolution resulted as follows : Ayes—John T. Wickes, E. M. Preston. Noes—M, Byrne, M. B. B. Potter, Frank Power. The members of the Board, being pressed for time, did not explain their votes. Messrs, Byrne, Potter and Power signified their willingness to file with the Clerk of the Board written statéments as to the grounds of their findings. They may-satisfy the public school patrons of the county by doing this, but we doubt it. St. Mary’s Academy. The. closing exercises will take place at St. Mary’s Academy at Grass Valley on Wednesday evening. . A programme has been arranged for this occasion which excels all others in excellence and is calculated to draw a large auilience. Invitations have heen extended to the friends of the school and many of them “will avail themselves of the opportunity of attending. The drama of ‘‘Marie Antoinette,” with a full cast of characters, will be a feature of the eutertainment. The exercises will begin at 5 o’clock.—Tidings. — Fer County Clerk.

The fire bells sounded an alarm yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, when it was discovered that a fire was raging in the barn and stables belonging to Frank Guild. Owing to the long distance and being uphil, the hose companies_ were delayed in reaching the fire. Pennsylvania Co., Being first on the ground, got on a stream and extinguished the flames, but not before all danger had been averted te surrounding buildings by the heroic exertions, of citizens who formed a buck-et brigade. The origin of the fire is unknown, and when first discovered was burning on the line between Guild’s and Hook’s premises. The loss to Mr. Guild amounts to $500, which includes a furniture wagon, harness, hay; barn and stables. Mr. Hook’s loss is not over $50 or $75, being the loss of two or three outbuildings.

Various Hoppenings In and Out of Town. The tunnel of the Ocean Star mine near Washington is now in sixty feet. District Attorney Gaylord yesterday filed an information for robbery ‘against John McCarty. A number of private residences en Aristocracy~-Hill are being r modelled, and repainted. Mrs. Sarah Foulkes, a native of Wales, was naturalized in the Superior Court yesterday, The trial of the case of Frank Coffey vs. Henry Powell commenced in the Superior Court yesterday. The Pittsburg mine is to be started up again. There has been but little work doneon it for a long time. John Hooper, a native of England, yesterday declared his intentions to become a citizen of the United States. * A few days since Rev. J. Sims lost his cane while riding in from Pine Grove Cemetery. The finder will be rewarded upon. returning it to him. Mrs. Rogers, Directress of the concert to be given at the Theatre to-morrow evening, has extended to the Transcript the usual press courtesies. Large droves of sheep and cattle are being driven: into the mountains. The grangers are very partial to vhe grass that: grows in the slickens country. The eight criminal cases before the Superior Court this term have all resulted in convictions. District Attorney Gaylord tries to be sure he's right before going ahead. The mines on Deer creek require an immense amount of timber to keep their insides in ahape. There is headed that way a constant procession of wagons loaded with lagging. Samuel Tyrrell, W. K. Spencer and J. P. Stone were re-elected last Saturday ag members of the Grass Valley Board of Education. The large vote they received indicates with their services heretofore and want some more of the same kind. The Chinese Laundries, _—sift Much consternation has been caused by the announcement of the Chinese laundrymen that they will close their establishments next Saturday rather than submit to the raise in licenses of from $10 to $30 ®, quarter which then goés into effect. One hotel proprietor who now pays $11 a week for washing avers that it there is no Chinese competition, and numerous other cases of a_ similiar character are being cited to the City Trustees as a reason why they Should goback tothe old rates. It is believed by many that the Mongolians are only trying ‘to bluff the city government, and that in case of a failure to do so they will open branch ‘establishments outside the corporate limits. _ If they do not work more than three hands in a laundry within the city limits, they “escape the tax entirely. A Veteran Speaks. Epftror Transcrnt:—Your _ remarks to-day about the action of our President in ordering the Mexican Veterans to meet at Grass Valley on the Fourth would be merited, were it not for the fact that the President determined to parade us there before he knew there would be a celebration at Nevada City Nrvapa, June’26. Vet. As the celebration at Nevada.CVity was a fixed fact before the one in Grass Valley township had been determined upon, and as the exact condition. of affairs must have been known to the worthy President. of the veterans—that is if he keeps himself posted at all, the remarks in yesterday’s TRANSCRIFT. about ‘‘cheek”’ were right to the point. Burned to Death at Sicrraville. A Truckee.dispatch says that the tin shop of A. Smith, at Sierraville, was discovered to be on fire Monday morning.

A short article’ concerning Mr, Cowdery’s examples appeared’ in Sunday’s TRANSCRIPT. This article purports to come from a pupil of the Oakland School. Iclaim Mr. Cowproblems. wrote the questions, he probably wrote or ‘reviewed the. questions when placed onthe board. If Mr. Cowdery marked the questions he must have looked over every question written by members of the class. Teachers usually know what questions they have givena class, and usually keep the pupils’ papers and the examination paper, This last, Mr. Cowdery kept, or how did the questions get into the Transcrier of January llth? If any gross blunder was made in the printing of the problems, why didn’t Mr. Cowdery know it and have them corrected last January? When the problems were published last Friday, and solutions call ed for, why didn't Mr. Cowdery hasten to the TranscriPT office and correct these questions? Iam fully satisfied that the problems published last Friday are the ones handed to the Transcript for publication on or just before January 10th, 1882 In support of my position I submit the following evidence: Saturday forenoon, June 24th, 1882, Mr. Cowdery was asked if in example No. 2 of the examples recently published he inte: ded to have al'owance made for the position and motion of the heavenly bodies. Mr. Cowdery said that he did, He was then offered $20 for all the correct answers to two of the examples and did not at that time make or attempt to make any corrections in the astronomical example. Si-ned, J. G, O'Neill. Witnesses—J. G. Hartwell, E. P. Hubbard. ‘“‘Pupil’s” statement came to the TRANSCRIPT office in the afternoon of Saturday. Who wrote it is not under consideration. Mr. Cowdery’s capacity to tell the truth can also be considered later. The question now is—Why hasn’t Mr. Cowdery solved the problems? These problems must have been used in class and in examination. The questions were published last January. Again, three of the problems have been published, the answers called for and an abundance of time Again we ask— Why hasn’t Mr. Cowdery explained and solved the problems? That work belongs to him. One of two reasonable hypotheses may be selected. Either Mr, Cowdery previous to Saturday forenoon ‘didn’t know that there wasanything to be explained in the problems,” or he now sees that he can’t give an arithmetical solution to the problems. ‘But the problems must have each been-marked about ten in the examination. How else could ‘the following credits be made by the pupils ‘pamed?” (Names reserved) ‘97, 98, 99, 99, 99.’ It is not my intention to take any advantage in this discussion. If I intended any such advantage I would ask right here if you —always give ten credits on qnestions you can’t solve yourself? , CONCERNING THE PROBLEMS, A farmer sells 6 horses and 5 cows for $945. If } the price of « horse and 5-9 the price of a cow is $115, what did he receive for_each ? The examination purports to be an examination in arithmetic. The first question is a p'oblem in algebra. A reasonable way of solving it is to let x. equal the price of a horse, andy equal the price fo a cow, then 6x plus 5y equal $945; and 9x plus 5-9y equals $115; then by elimination dispose of one of the unknown quantities and find the value of the other. Having found the value of one of the unknown quantities, substitute that value in one of the equations, and tle second value readily appears. Any use of “horse” and ‘‘cow,” or any other words or apy fractions tised to represent the quantities .will not change the nature of the problem. The second problem: New York is 742 30° W. L., San Francisco 122> 45’ W.L. Ifan eclipse of the sun is visible in New York at 35 minutes past 2 o’clock'P. M . at what time would it.be visible in San Francisco ? The second problem isa problem in astronomy. The data given for solving the problem is entirely insufficient, therefore the prob!em cannot be worked. : a An eclipse of the sun for our planet results only from the moon coming between it andthe sun. All parts of thé earth darkened by an eclipse are not darkened at the same instant. Hence fining the difference of longitude, and from that the* difference of time between New York and San Francisco does not solve the above ‘example. A couple of evenings’ observation, would be enough to show, what nearly all have observed, that the moon moves around the earth from west to east. If New York and San Francisco are both to witness the same eclipse, the eclipse will be first seen at San Francisco. It is farther to the west. Then as the moon moves eastward in the heavens, the shadow or eclipse will move east on the earth. If the earth did not rotate, the eclipse would move about 3400 kilometers or 2100 miles per hour. (Page 175, Newcomb and Holden’s Astronomy, 1881.) so rotates at the same time from west to east, the apparent rate of motion DISCUSSION: dery is the person interested in the . He made or selected, and } As teacher, . -Hth, 1880,is-an—article—folowing+ “““What’s the matter?” ‘needs an answer. As the'earth al-. P NEVADA CITY rate of the motion of the shadow, therefore, varies from 1200 miles to 2100 miles per hour. (Same authority, p. 176.) Why this variation in rate of motion? A few of the reasons are: The earth moves in an elliptical orbit, and the sun is in one of the fovi of the ellipse. A straight line from the center of the sun. to the center of the earch swe-ps over equal areas of this ellipse in equal times (same authority, Kepler’s second law p 123.) But since the earth is‘fatther from the sun at one season than at another, it follows that the earth moves’ over tinequal areas of the ellipse in most equal times.» It makes a difference whether the eclipse occurred at or near the first of July or at or near the first of Janvary. liptical orbit, and in a constantly moving orbit at that. It makes a difference then what year thie eclipse occurred To solve this problem, one should have given, the position of the moon in its orbit at a certain time and be able by Celestial Mechanics and trig onometrical solutions to determine the gxact position of the moon in its ed ge any future time and the angular motion of the moon at that time. Being able to do this, with a few other computations, it would be possible Ithink to determine when the shadow from an eclipse would strike the earth. Now some slight computations would be needed to determine the line on wnich the eclipse would. be central. Also another delicate computation woald be needed to determine the time when a point ina curved line, having met a given point, San Francisco (no latitude given) the same curved line at some other point will meet another point New York (no latitude given,) These are a few points suggested to one not an astronomer. What othe: ints might an astronomer see ? One F chin of, with the necessary data, is a long period of work. The next problem. No, 5 of the examination, is: A tield contains 29,855,296 sq. ft.-W hat would it cost to feuce it at $1.25 per rod ? This example hae an intinite number ot right answers, If a field were rectangular, one foot wide, then there would betwo fences 29,855,296 It. long and two end fences one ft. each in length. At so* much per rod, that answer iseasily found. If the field be rectangular and two {t. wide, then there will be two fences, each 4 uf 29,855,296 ft. long, and two fences two feet long, of this fence is a second answer different from the first. Any length may be takem for two sides of the field in the rectangular ‘form. Any other form may be assumed, as that the field is cir: cular or eliptical, is triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal and so on to figures of any numberof side regular orirregular. Every different answer correctly computed will be a right answer. : The data bercis.insufficient to make this an exaet-example. Whileto the astronomical example no answer can be obtained for want of data for want of the same materia] every number ot dollars provided it is large enough, answers for the example. Wonder ful problems to publish for public in spection, Tn explanation of these problems, Mr. Cowdery himself might have an swered that he had seen problems hke these in arithmetics, The nearer these are to any in arithmetics, the worse the case for the arithmetics. Even though misery does like company, if the company is. miseraule it’s Of littleadvautage. It 1s the province of the teacher to know what the minds of his pupils need, and to recognize the article when he -sees-t.—To-speak-of hair sp itting in connection witb these P obiems would be absurd. — Certainly there was no hair splitting in not knowing whether an example was an example in arithmetic, algebra or astronomy, or whether data euough had been: given to bring an example to having one or an intivite aumber of answers, Mr. Cowdery has shown, in these problems an entife lack of di«crimination, Ofvall the powers of the mini this power of discrimination is al! impertant as an educational factor.

Finally this power of discriminating obtains for the mind all the material trom which is produced thonght and reason from the simplest to the most complex. = ‘‘Mind starts from discrimination.” ‘*The retentive powet works up to the height of the discriminative power; it can do.no more.” ‘Our intelligence is therefore _limited by our power of discrimination.” (Education as a Science, by Baine.) In conclud ng the above digcussion, I submit Mr. Cowdery’s intellect (not his probity) for measurement in the light of the examples considered and the educational principles set forth. In the Transcatet of Feb. 7th, 1882, appeared au article taken from a Stockton paper. Iusinuations were made in that article that ought to have been auswered. Not having the needed numberof the TRANSCRiPT I will intimate some of the :eferences then made and you may answer: In the Stockton Herald of Dec. the questions of the fourth day of teachers’ examination, then being held in Stockton. The article is entitled “tA Resignation of a Meimber of the Board.” Another title is, A short quotation from under this is enough. “The majority of the Board became satisfied that Mr. Cowdery had not acted with that degree of impartial ity in the e\amination’. that should characterize an examiver’s conduct This is evident from the fact that oue applicant, who received a sufficient number of credits to ‘entitle her to-a certificate, was refused a certificate on the ground that she} bad received ass:stance.” te I th.nk the above meters ‘ae i “‘glitering generalities.” ae ai ae We shall’ also need in the answer tow asked for, ‘proof that you area graduate of Union College.

, (Grass Valley Union.) On Sunday-a Union reporter procured one of M. Byrne & Co’s. good buggy teams, and went to Nevada City. The reporter was accompanied by his family, and the ride ‘hrough that mountain city was pleasant in the extreme. When once out in the neighborhood of the dwellings the whole scene isfchanged. The residences are all cozy, vineclad, and home-like, aud give one_ the. idea that the dwellers there must of necessity be happy and _ content. The gardens are-a profusion of flowers, green lawns and pleasant shade and frnit trees. The houses all. look asif they had been newly painted and beautiful this Spring, so clean and neat they appear. A large number of the dwellings have pretty bay windows in which the occupants may sit of a summer afternoon and enjoy the view of the surroundings, or read, chat ani ‘pass the, happy hours away,” When persons visit Nevada City they should not content themselves by merely. taking a look atthe business portion of the town for that alone gives » poor idea of the extent of the place and the beautiful homes that adorn the surrounding bills.__In his rambles the reporter noticed also that a great many pew dwelling houses were being erected—in one locality no less than four are being built, all of modern style, and looked as if the people who vccupied them meant to say right there. In all parts of the city new dwellings were being erected, and not one vacant house was noticeed. Nevada is a beautitul little mountain city, and if her resources are not cut off by the heartless’ people o’a few worthless farms in the immediate vicinity of the rivers, it will continue to grow and flourish for many years to come, e— Three to Two. The County Board of Education met yesterday to consider the testimony in the case of Misses Mary McAuliffe, Ada Deacon and Maggie Ryan, tried on a charge of unprofessional conduct while writing for certificates at the last Teachers’ Examination, John T, Wickes, County Superintendent and Secretary of the Board, offered a resolution to the ef— fect that the certificates of the three young ladies be revoked. E. M. Preston seconded the resolution. The vote on the adoption of the resolution resulted as follows : Ayes—John T. Wickes, E. M. Preston. Noes—M, Byrne, M. B. B. Potter, Frank Power. The members of the Board, being pressed for time, did not explain their votes. Messrs, Byrne, Potter and Power signified their willingness to file with the Clerk of the Board written statéments as to the grounds of their findings. They may-satisfy the public school patrons of the county by doing this, but we doubt it. St. Mary’s Academy. The. closing exercises will take place at St. Mary’s Academy at Grass Valley on Wednesday evening. .

The fire bells sounded an alarm yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, when it was discovered that a fire was raging in the barn and stables belonging to Frank Guild.

The origin of the fire is unknown, and when first discovered was burning on the line between Guild’s and Hook’s premises. The loss to Mr. Guild amounts to $500, which includes a furniture wagon, harness, hay; barn and stables. Mr. Hook’s loss is not over $50 or $75, being the loss of two or three outbuildings.
