living at a distance we would say, if you are in want of anything in the confectionary line you have only to
send your orders to Mr. K., and we will guarantee that you will be satisfactorily served.
DIBBLE LODGE.—At a meeting of Dibble Lodge No. 109 F. and A.M., held at Omega, December
2d, the following officers were elected: William H. Sanders, W.M.; S. R. Goodson, S.W.; William Colbert,
S.W.; D. C. Teeples, Treasurer; W. P. Jones, Secretary; Harman Horn, Tyler. The installation will take
place on Saturday evening next.
PURSE FOUND.—On Saturday last, John S. Gregory, while on the up trip to Moore’s Flat, found,
between the Yuba bridge and the Kennebec House, a purse containing money and other articles. The
owner can have the same by calling on Gregory and describing the contents.

exclusively, at Temperance Hall. The subjects treated on will be “Health, their God-given Rights, etc.,
illustrated and inforced by recently discovered physical laws and facts in nature.” In the evening, Doctor

THE AMENDMENT ADOPTED.—A Washington dispatch of the 19th instant, says Secretary
Seward has issued a proclamation declaring that the amendment to the Constitution abolishing slavery
has been ratified by the requisite number of States. The Secretary must have included the action of quite
a number of Southern States which are not now represented in Congress, as he could not have been
officially notified of the action of Oregon and California; but he is the sole judge as to whether it has been
legally adopted.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AGAIN.—The School Trustees were highly indignant, at an item
published in the Gazette a few days since, in which we objected to certain scholars being permitted to
attend the schools, and took particular pains to notify their friends that the objectionable pupils had been
dismissed, and that the article in question was written in consequence of a personal dislike of a member of
the Board of Trustees. How far the facts will justify this assertion we leave the community to judge. The
scholars alluded to have not been dismissed, but are in daily attendance at the school, and further-more,
in a conversation with a member of the Board, in speaking of this subject, he remarks to us that “it will
not do to be too particular about our associates, but take the world as we find it.” This remark was not
made by Justice Smith, and this item therefore cannot be construed as a “personal attack” on him; on the
contrary, it was made by a personal friend, whom we highly esteem. But the welfare of the public schools
demand that prompt and decisive action should be taken by the Trustees, and this with us outweighs
personal consideration. We might attribute the neglect or indifference of the Trustees in this matter as a
personal dislike to us, if we had been the first to bring the subject to their attention, but it was not until all
other means had failed that we consented to refer to it, and the charge that we were actuated to do so from
personal dislike to any one is false in every particular.
SOLDIERS’ ORPHANS.—Mrrs. Lizzie Bell, of the State of New York, is now in our town, soliciting
aid toward the foundation of an asylum for the support and education of the female orphans of the soldiers
who have fallen in the war for the Union. The institution is to be located in the interior of New York, and
its benefits will extend generally to the orphans of the soldiers of the Republic. Mrs. Bell has been in the
