H EVENING NEWS.

the school is a very healthy condition.
Through the kindness of Mr.. Williams,
the Secretary, we were furnished with
the following facts regarding the school:
The average attendance for the past
month has been eighty, fifty of whom
were males and thirty females. There
are two Bible classes, m of males and
the other females. There are FIVE teach
ers in the juvenile department. The
library of the school AT the present time
consists Of $50 volumes; l63 Of which
are new and contain much good reading
matter. Some ofthe works contained in
the library are by standard authors, and
of such IL character as would lend much
TO the morals of our young men and
women if they read such books instead
of spending their time in reading the
yellow covered books which may be
found in the private rooms of almost
every young lady and gentleman in the
State. The musical department of the
school is under the direction of Mr..
James Dorr, who, from a long expert
nee in imparting musical knowledge
to pupils, is the very man for the posi-
ton he occupies. The singing of the
children will satisfy any one who is a
Judge of music that they have been pro-
perly trained in this branch. On Christ
mas Mr.. Door will give another OF those
concerts TO which the people Of Gold
Hill and Virginia were treated some six
weeks since. II certainly must be very
gratifying to the parents Of children to
see them taking part in the exercises Of
the Sabbath School instead Of running
around town and visiting all the immor-
al sinks of ~iniquity with which all cities
and towns abound. How many parents
in Gold Hill and Virginia to-day are
graduating their children for the State
prison. by allowing them free scope in
Decorating the Sabbath and forming
evil habits by evil associations? The
child, like the tender branch of a tree,
is easily bent; and as its course Is
shaped in youth, so will it be in man
hood. We therefore say that much re-
SpOuSibility rests on the parent of every
child. Train up the child the way in
which he should go, and when be is old
he will not depart from it. Aside
from all the moral benefits aris-
ing from attending the Sabbath
School, much useful knowledge is daily
impaired to both children and adults.
Besides what is, read, there is all the
experience OF the teachers, who use their
utmost endeavors to enlighten the minds
of those under their charge. In behalf
of those who are laboring TO carry for
ward the good work, we would solicit
the parents of children to see that their
children attend some Of the Sabbath
Schools every Sabbath, and by so do
ing you will confer a lasting benefit on
YOUR child, promote the morals of the
rising generation, and help roll for
ward the great car of civilization, edu-
cation, refinement and good morals
thereby doing a good work which will
be more lasting than the lofty moutains
that surround US.
GRAND CoNCERr.-0n neXt WedneS-
day evening, at the Gold Hill Thester,
Madame Minnie Bernard will give a
grand vocal and instrumental concert,
to which the citizens of Gold Hill are
specially invited. Madame Bernard has
a high reputation in New York-as well
as among the people of San Francisco
who have known her-as q ballad and
opera singer. She is known, also, as u
most distinguished vocalist in divine
music, having been u leading member
of the choirs of several churches in the
East. On the occasion of her concert
on Wednesday evening she will be as
sisted by a number of ladies and gen.
tlemen, well known as amateur artists
of some celebrity. We bespeak II full
house. The admission is only Il dollar.
SOMETHING GooD.-Saturday evening
we were at Charley Whites saloon, and
Dennis Ryan, who does the agreeable,
caused us 10 take some of u mixture
which we believe he called Thomas and
jeremiah. They must be genial spirits,
for they went down together without a
struggle. If you want sometime good
in the way of II beverage, give Charley
a call, and have Dennis or Grey make
it up for you.
SERMON YEsrERDAY.-Rev. II. D. La
trop preached the first of a series of dis
courses, appropriate to the Advent, at
the Episcopal Church, yesterday morn
ing, which was listened TO with deep in
terest. Ii was a finished and scholarly
production, and to our mind exhaustive
and conclusive ofthe points taken. The
congregation of this church and u
citizens generally lose a rare treat if
they do not attend this course.
DAYroS.-Mr. Shay, of the Dayton
P~ost-ofice news depot, to the
good people of that vicinity, through
the medium of a large poster, that he
has lust received u large stock of Christ
mus and New Years Gifts, consisting OF
Gift Books, Albums, Novels, ANIMALS,
TOYS, and a large lot of Holiday Gifts.
Young and old, grave and gay, all are
invited to purchase.
WIDE AwAKE.-About three O'Clock,
a morning or two since, near a dozen OF
the most suspicious-looking characters
from Virginia City anne down to Gold
Hill. Their appearance here caused the
Gold Hill police not a little bother in
watching them, as it was thought by
some persons that the Geiger Grade
road agents were around.
Snow on THE MoUSrAINs.-We learn
from a passenger by the Pioneer stage
of yesterday that the snow on the sum
nit is Eve feet deep on the Dutch Flat
route. The snow at Cisco, however, is
only about.a foot in depth. We don't
believe the summit story by three feet,
at least.
INPRovENESTs.-The horse whim used
for hosting out ore from several of the.
surface mines in gold Hill proper, has,
within a few days past, been neatly
housed, protecting the motive power OF
the within from the inclemency Of the
weather.
To THE SICK AND AFFLIcrED.-The
Medical D~ispensary on South B street,
near TAYLOR, Virginia, is a place where
people will be furnished medical advice
and medicine at reasonable prices, etc;
an institution truly for the benefit OF the
