hrs, we visited was the Grammar Schooi
laugh, by Miss Dimick. We found IN
,ys%,ge attendance in this school to b
~ duTins the last month ; per centage o
attendance during the month, IS increas'
dur;oc that time, three boys and five girls
largest class in the school, 20 members
The school room We found to be an eS
cellent one, for several reasons !: first, from
the fac, tina, there is plenty Of room TO
bo;h scholars and teacher second, for tn
reason that it is ventilated in the bes
possible manner, having q valve, or trap
door. in the roof. with an opening tina
extends down into the school room. ant
TO this valve there are two ropes attached
one Of which will open the valve wher
pulled upon and the other will close it
The furniture in the room is Of the mos
improved style, the room being Furnished
with desks and chairs for each scholar
the desk having a drawer for books ant
papers, while in the top OF each is an ink,
stand, which is set down into the WOOD
almos, level with the top, and having Q
cover that works on a hinge. 1t prevents
any ink getting spilled on the desk OF
books. The walls are supplied with TWO
large blaek-boards; also with the follow
ing maps and charts. Map Of the State oil
Nevada. Map Of the United States. Map
of Penmanship, Wilson's Historical Chars
or Map, Col,on's Map Of Europe. Monks

history. physiology, ETC.; also a full set OF
outline maps. Each school room Is also
supplied with a large case, with glass door
and shelved of in proper order-these are
for the double use Of bookcase and caoi-
net. From the school of Miss Dimick we
next visited the school Of Miss Cordiell.
The average attendance at this school. as
near as we could ascertain, was ~. The
school room is not as complete as thai OF
Miss Mimick's, although il is seated in
the same style, and is supplied with all
necessary maps. etc. This school wa
engaged in singing AZ the time OF u VISIT
therefore We were not able to gather
many particulars in regard to It.
The next school visited was the 1nterme-
diate School. under the charge of Mrs. S.
II. Summers. Average attendance. SO
boys, "a: girls, 10. This school room is
furnished with similar furniture to the
other rooms, and is well conducted-the
scholars being perfectly satisfied with
everything. as was shown by a vote taken
in our presence. The infant school taught
bv Miss George was dismissed before we
were able TO get around TO it, but We paid
"A visit TO the school room, and found II
furnished with seats and desks adapted to
the little ones in this department. The
hat and bonnet rooms are underneath the
school room Of Miss Dimmick, and are
fixed up in the bes. of style for the accom-
mediation of the scholars. The play
grounds are not very extensive, but are in
good order, part Of them being covered, so
that the children can play in bad weather.
From all that we could see for the limited
time we had TO spend in the Public
Schools Of Virginia City. it is our opinion
thar there 10 not q Public School on the
Pacific coast tina, has better accommoda-
lions and a more perfect apparatus for
properly impar,ing knowledge than the
Virginia Public Schools. AL Of the teach
ers seem to take both interest and pride in
the schools under their charge. and the
Trustees show an interest in the schools
seldom shown by any public officials
there being no less than three in the
school Yesterday, one of whom went with
us and the others. to ascertain II anything
was wanting. More anon.
Cor CAuoHT.-Yes,erday, while coming
up through Gold Hill, we noticed Marshal
Johnson with a bundle Of shirts under his
arm and a Chinaman by the hand. II
seems that the Marshal gave his clothes to
a Chinaman TO wash, and the clothes not
having been brought home, the Marshal
went after them; but John informed him
that he mus. identify himself or nary SHIRT
could he have. This was too much for
Johnson's delicate nerves, and feeling that
the rights Of q good loyal citizen was be-
ing insul,ed. he arrested his shirts and
also the Chinaman. and took them to the
Station house. We observed a delegation
Of nine Celestials bound for Virginia, for
a lawyer. We don't know how this mat
ter will end, but we hope not in blood.
Run AWAY. - Yesterday afternoon, ut
abou, 8 o'clock, 4 horse attached to a wagon,
and coming down Taylor street, from some
cause, became frightened and started Oft at
full speed, and when about half way between
d and C streets, the man in the wagon was
thrown out, falling between the horse and
the wagon, and alighting on his back, but. as
the mud on Taylor street is about four inehe,
deep, the man was uninjured. The horse
passed down Taylor to C street, here he ran
into the horse Of Feusier, which was standing
in front of his store, which caused him to run
AWAY also. The first horse and wagon passed
down c street, and the horse and wagon OIL
Mr.. Feusier passed down Taylor street 70
near the Sisters, where the horse became
detached from the wagon and then stopped
causing but little damage. The other horse,
we expect, is still running, as we have not
heard Of him since.
CLoo DANCE. = That clog dance for
$500, comes OFF tonight, at Music Hall
The las, Of the coin was put up yesterday
afternoon. II is thought there will be
some Of the best dancing done that has
ever come off on the Virginia stage. All
who wish to have a treat. be sure and be
on hand. Both parties are certain o.
winning.
FoR New GRgSADA.-This morning
Mr.. John D. MeGowan and two Of tn
EMPLOYEES of Music Hall, took their de
parture for the new mines Of South Amer
lea. We do not know whether the.
