The School Superintendent is consulted when new buildings are to be erected; when furniture or libraries are to be purchased, and whien a teacher is to be employed. Now the whole amount paid by the State for the ser. vices of all its, County School Super-. intendents is only $43,300, or an av. erage salary to each of $867 80.

This man is the Quartermaster, and was found at 8 o’elock Monday morning, thirty-three miles inside the Cape, on the paddle boxes and upper deck of the Pacifle, which at one time formed part of the raft on which Mr, délly was floating. Ten men and. one woman were on “the raft at one time, but the Quarter“Thaster is the only surviyor. The woman was washed overboard, and the Chief Engineer and Virst Officer jumped over.to save her, but wete both drowned before they could re gain the raft, Captain. Howell was on this raft, and only gave: out on Sunday morning, being at the’ time the only survivor except this Quartermaster. His fate therefore is a “wnatter of certainty. The Cutter discovered the floating portion of the wreck and sent a boat. Thg man says the steamer positively collided with a vessel which struck her just about midships on the starboard side. The steamer California passed in plain sight of this raft while several were surviving. Other vessels also passed in their vicinity. The two boats did get away from the wreck, The Walcott also Fecovered one or two dead bodies. The steamer Gussie ‘Telfair reports seeing a vessel “in distress outaide the Cape with the flag Union down, bowsprit gone, which was undoubtedly the vessel colliding with the Pacific, The steamer Telfair has recovered three . bodies. =. ~ Tur Sea Lion. —The sea lion ~ which passed up, the river’ Monday . . last, was on Tuesday amusing himf the entire day in front of Com‘took’ 8 tanch, 10 miles above Sacramento.

It ia presumed they had ta'en down the gun and were playitig with it. At’ apy rate, an accident occurred as above stated, and the wound was not considered fatal. But the strangest part. of the affair was the little sufferer’s premonition, of death. At 5 o'clock, yesterday morning,he raised his, -head:' and ina distinct tone of . voice exclaimed: ‘At 20 minutes past12 o’clock!”’ But little heed was taken of this, the remark being his mind. But at 9o’clock ‘in the evening the remark was slowly. and loudly repeated: ‘At 20 minutes began to grow anxious as to the fate of the little one, and. were not slow to believe the words uttered to be the clock closely after it had strick the hour of tweive, and, as the time wore on, the patient grew continually more feeble, until the: clock indicated the time to be 20 minutes past 12; when death ensned at the very moment prophetically stated by the child on the previous morning andthe following evening.

Lage Superior’ Copper MrInes.— There are now in the region known as the Lake Superior mining district gines and 40 stamp mill. The latter have 739 stamps, all told, and are capable of crushing 3,674 tons of rock every 24 hours. ‘Phese figures we obtain from the London Mining Journal, Thecopper mines of the Lake are worked toa greater depth than is perhaps generally supposed, as much as 3600 feet having been obtained in a few cases. The machinery in use is said to be of the very best material and workmanship, and the latest improvements in applianceg suited to ecpper mining are constantly being introduced: Thus far the amount collected in assessments exceeds that disbursed in dividends by about $2,000,000, but the. value of the improvements upon the mining properties far surpasses this. sum. Prospecting and development are being carried on with vigor, and the district shows signs of great ae tivity as well as ‘permanency, OgrricuEs 1s CanrrorNta.—Montgomery Queen, of Queen’s Califor‘pia Circus and Menagerie, has purchased one hundred African ostriches and is about colonizing them on his place’ near Haywood, a small town fifteen miles from San Franeisco,.

INFLATING Batoons.—Coal gas is generally used for inflating balloons. Although it is sim or seven times heavier than lbydregen gas, it is still less than half the weight of air, being less liable to leak through the envelope. ‘The ascendiug power is. determined by well-known laws. For example, the balloons used during the siege of ‘Paris contained about 40,000 cubic feet. The weight of ut 2,000 pounds, while the weight of the same volume of air ig about 5,000 pounds, thus giving an ascend‘ing force of 3,000 pounds, or the difference between the weight of the gasandair.

A Man wits a Forx m His Sromach.—Does anybody remember the man with the fork, that unfortunate clerk of the greatstore ot the Printemps, who, pretending to swallow a fork one day, realty did swallow it for gdod and all. I related: his pathetic story in my letter at that time. Forabout a week the poor fellow was the sensation of all Paris, the il--. ' lustrated papers gave his portrait and a picture of the fork, the comic papers carieatured him, he was made acts at. the variety -theatres,and of endless seed in the duily press, powerless to relieve him of his internal piece of silver ware, and he was finally discharged from the hospital with the fork stilllodged im his stomach. More than a year bas elapsed . § since then, and of course he ought to have died long ago. But he is still alive, and as well as possible under the circumstances. He resides at Dijon, but is shortly to return to Paris, where'ke will of course /be an object of interest and curiosity to. all the medical faculty, to say nothing of the worldat large.

It ia presumed they had ta'en down the gun and were playitig with it. At’ apy rate, an accident occurred as above stated, and the wound was not considered fatal. But the strangest part. of the affair was the little sufferer’s premonition, of death. At 5 o'clock, yesterday morning,he raised his, -head:' and ina distinct tone of . voice exclaimed: ‘At 20 minutes past12 o’clock!”’ But little heed was taken of this, the remark being his mind. But at 9o’clock ‘in the evening the remark was slowly. and loudly repeated: ‘At 20 minutes began to grow anxious as to the fate of the little one, and. were not slow to believe the words uttered to be the clock closely after it had strick the hour of tweive, and, as the time wore on, the patient grew continually more feeble, until the: clock indicated the time to be 20 minutes past 12; when death ensned at the very moment prophetically stated by the child on the previous morning andthe following evening.

Lage Superior’ Copper MrInes.— There are now in the region known as the Lake Superior mining district gines and 40 stamp mill. The latter have 739 stamps, all told, and are capable of crushing 3,674 tons of rock every 24 hours. ‘Phese figures we obtain from the London Mining Journal, Thecopper mines of the Lake are worked toa greater depth than is perhaps generally supposed, as much as 3600 feet having been obtained in a few cases. The machinery in use is said to be of the very best material and workmanship, and the latest improvements in applianceg suited to ecpper mining are constantly being introduced: Thus far the amount collected in assessments exceeds that disbursed in dividends by about $2,000,000, but the. value of the improvements upon the mining properties far surpasses this. sum. Prospecting and development are being carried on with vigor, and the district shows signs of great ae tivity as well as ‘permanency, OgrricuEs 1s CanrrorNta.—Montgomery Queen, of Queen’s Califor‘pia Circus and Menagerie, has purchased one hundred African ostriches and is about colonizing them on his place’ near Haywood, a small town fifteen miles from San Franeisco,.

INFLATING Batoons.—Coal gas is generally used for inflating balloons. Although it is sim or seven times heavier than lbydregen gas, it is still less than half the weight of air, being less liable to leak through the envelope. ‘The ascendiug power is. determined by well-known laws. For example, the balloons used during the siege of ‘Paris contained about 40,000 cubic feet. The weight of ut 2,000 pounds, while the weight of the same volume of air ig about 5,000 pounds, thus giving an ascend‘ing force of 3,000 pounds, or the difference between the weight of the gasandair.
