Most of the sehools of this county . have a monthly Roll of’ Honor pub-. lished in some of the papers of the} attained ninety per cent afe placed. . thé idea is a very good one provided . 4hestanding is honestly earned.

There are so many exercises for which extra credits are given that . the merest dolt, if he will ‘but sit qui. etly on his bench and not transgress . avy of the rules of the school, can . ‘gain a higher standing than the “_y studious but, mischievous one who occasionally receives-a check for bad deporttnent. This has become-to ié so. well known to pupils ‘(and ought to be to parents) that the publication of Rolls of Honor has become a farce, ‘ Superintendent Kennedy of Santa Clara cofiity, i in a late address before thé Teachers Institute r ‘sample of all the others. ‘ofthat county in speaking on this -subject says; ‘‘The standing teached ‘by our pupils is somewhat remarkable. You can hardly look into'a paper near the, close of the school ‘month without seeing ‘the Roll of ‘Honor of some school. I have taken the pains to examine these.ad-. vertisements, for I can eall them nothing else, to see what I could de‘duce from them. They spgak vol_ames, butnot inthe direction they -ayere intexded. They do not show the scholarship of the pupil,but how poorly qualified for bis work the i individual was who examined. them. 1 noticed in many departments that . over two-thirds of the pupils names were on this roll. In one school, ———out6f forty pupils, thirty. were on the Roll of Honor, Out of this thirty'sixteen received 100 per cent each in scholarship. . .The remaining fourteen saaiving from 95 to 99 per cent. This Roll of Houor is a fair The idea -of pupils making such a percentage . ' is simply absurd. We may, by our tlaming publications, convince parents: that their children are fine schelars, but we know that they are not. Our pupils are promoted and graduated year after year on these wondeiful percentages, when onehalf of them: cannot honestly make forty per cent in their studies. This ~-+ris one reason why the pupils ot our "__eourse or not. dion, schools are not better scholars. They know that they will be’ promoted whether they, uuderstand the Henee they do not It is full time to-remedy this matter. The honest. teacher should be above such practices. Let nb place our pupils where they belong. Let pupils be promoted on merit, and not on their parents social posiLet us do this and it willdn‘erease the efficiency of our schools vand the scholarship of our pupils fifty per cont."

A crushing, of fifteen tons of ore has just beer cleaned 1 ms > at the Larimer mill, atid the result was gold to the value of about $900 or $60 tothe ton. From the same crushing sulpburets weighing 4600 pounds were saved which assay at the rate of $200 a ton. Théevhatt of the Pittsburg is now dowi a little over 100 feet and the first Jevel bas ‘been started. G. V. Union. The Pittsburg is sitiiiited out near Deadman’s Flat, about three miles southwest from Grass Valley. .The ‘whole flat and the hills adjoining ‘are traversed by ledges. ‘There is a study. perfect net work of them, and most . _of them carry gold.

Tuesday. a man was bitten*by a dog on upper Main Street. We. noticed a dog attack. a little boy on Main Street, near the Union Stable, on Sunday. Cases are frequent of late, of dogs being so watchful that they bite passers. If the parties interested are satisfied with the programme, we are. We are certait, however, if. some one else’s dog should bite the owfiers of these vicious dogs, they would make Rome howl. ° Montell’s Restaurent,. hig We call attention to the advertisement of O. D. Montell, to_be found in to-day’s paper.

Desrerate Arrray aT Wni0n Hizy.— Union Hill is “located about two miles East from Grass Valley. It is now called ‘the Barbary Coast of the county, and late events there entitle it to the distinction. We mentioned yesterday that William Michels had been shot and badly wounded, by William Lockhart, last Monday evening at Union Hill, On ‘Tuesday evening last about 5 o’clock another fight ocurred at tbe _satiie place between two golored men, which tesulted in Wm. Walters, (known-cs Peg Leg) receiving a stab in the left eye. Frank Jones (or Hump Back Frank) did the cutting. Walterg will not lose the sight-of the eye, as Dr. Jones informs us, but he had a close call for it. Again at the same place, Mrs. Walters and an Indian got into a row which resulted in the Indian receiving a wound by an axe or a hatchét on the right side of the head. The woman says the Indian endeavored to violate her chastity ard she struck him, It is supposed-that the Indian is dead, but: his body could not be found by. the officers yesterday. District Attorney Gaylord and Under. Sheriff Potter came down yesterday, and had the proper arrests made. The examination of these cases will take place to-day. -The man Michels who was wounded by Lockhart, on Monday, seems to be getting along well, Dr, Jones is the’attending physician. —Grass Valley Union of Aaareday. tp’ Considerable interest was caus\by it having ‘leaked out that Miss Edvra,Dean Proctor—who bas instituted suit against Francis D.
