ST.. MARy's ScHooL.-We had the
pleasure of being present for AN hour
and Il half, this forenoon, nt the IBIS
tribution at Saint Mary's School," in
Virginia City. The exercises COM
menced precisely at half past 10 o'clock
and were witnessed by II large number
of ladies and gentlemen, principally par
ents of the pupils, and invited guests.
At the time designated, the guests be-
ing all seated, a splendid brass band,
consisting Of a dozen instruments,
struck up the beautiful Norma Eu-
trance March, and in marched, keeping
correct time with the music, one hun
dred and fifty scholars-young ladies
OF seventeen years of age, down to lit
tie Misses Of fve-all neatly and prettily
dressed in white, with blue silk belts,
and some with red and blue sashes. 4
more beautiful, interesting, fairy scene
Iii, up with the light of intelligence,
beauty, and innocence lit has not
been our fortune to behold in this
State. We were pleased, edited,
and instructed, in witnessing this
beautiful Distribution" The eIer-
cises were under the special direction of
Rev. Fathers Monogue and McNulty,
and Sister Frederick, assisted at the
piano forte by Miss Neagle. After the
elegant entrance march, played by the
band, the exercises opened by Miss
Georgia Beckwith~ delivering, in a clear
aud beautiful tone Of voice, the ''Open-
ing Address elegantly worded, aud
feeliugly delivered and no doubt lear-
ing indelible feelings Of kindness to-
ward the ''home Of the orphans which
did not previously exist among listening
strangers. The lei part of the exer-
cises was the singing, with piano ac-
compartment. of Columbia, the Gem
of the Ocean," by twenty-five young
ladies, the chorusses being Joined in by
the whole shool. Our readers can best
Judge how magnificently beautiful this
elegant and patriotic song was rem
dered, when we will just mention that
one hundred and fifty sweet voices made
the music. 1t was indeed sublime-and
10 hear a repetition Of it, we would will
travel a greater distance than
Gold Hill TO Virginia city. The
=. Coronation Ode" was prettily rem
dered, accompanied by Mss Neagle on
the piano. after the coronation Of six
young ladies, by placing upon their fair
heads q beautiful wreath, which inter-
esting ceremony vas gracefully done by
Father Monogue. After which, Miss
G.. Beckwith and Miss VI. O'Donnell
played Lucia de Lamermoor' on the
piano. FAIRY Flowers" a musical
dialogue, by Misses E. Sterrett, ].
Dirks, L. Toolc, L. Bailey, and L.. Mar
zen, was then very PRETTY sung. The
presentation Of premiums then COM
menced and conducted in a creditable
manuer-a lis, Of which we should like
to publish, but time and space in writ
ing this brief notice forbid. "Pride
Polka" "wheu Erin shall stand mid
the Isles of the Sea, "The freed Bird
Sophie Waltz" "Distant Chimes
q. c." (musicnl dialogue, by Miss
". Cashion and Miss y. Murray-gayand
sparkliugly reudered) were among the
musical and highly intellectual feast
offered during our stay. The hour OF
twelve having arrived, our editorial du-
ties at home having limited our time,
we Reluctantly left the gay scene of
youth, beauty, the looming girls OF
our young State. When we left the ex-
~ercises were not more than one-third
complete.
FIRE.-This morning, at about quar-
ter past nine o'clock, a small, uuoccu-
pied, frame building, in the rear Of the
Eclipse stables, on Main street, in this
town, caugh, FIRE. 1t is supposed that
the fire was kindled by the igniting Of
some rag that lay outside the door sill,
from sparks flying from a n~eighboring
chimney. The building is owned by
Mr.. Mayer, the barber Liberty Hose
Company were speedily on hand, and
doused the glim with a heavy gush OF
water. Yellow Jacket Hose is out OF
service, but the boys from that Company
brough. down several hundred feet Of
hose, py hand. The eItinguishing OF
the flames Was the work Of one Liberty
second. The steam whistles of the yell
low Jacket, and other Gold Hill proper
mines blew alarum blasts; and Monu-
! mental No. 6. of Virginia, rolled out
their machine and were on their way
down to our burgh, when the cessation
| of steam shrieks notified them that the
flames were squelched. Tho will for
the whole deed our folks will remember
the readiness Of No. g.. Unfortunately
we cannot reciprocate the kind DISPOSE
ton and service Of the Virginia firemen
in kind, as We cannot, owing to natural
| difficulties turn our water pressure over
the divide, Though if our hose is eye'
needed, our boys will be sure to roll II
over the hill, J but We a and will show
our appreciation and gratitude in Other
ways. Especially to No. 6. Our W
Liberty Hose is " quicker n lightning .
in jumping on to a blaze. Darned il
they amt. They can soon wash out o.
spirit any combustible short Of gunpow'
der or nitroglyceriue. We feel safer,
more sure of our insurance guard, every
time we see our boys play smoke with
a FIRE.
