evening the scholars connected with
this school made their Easter offerings,
which consisted Of the small sums
brought each Sabbath for four months
past. The exercises were held in the
evening, in place of the regular services,
and were exceedingly interesting. The
scholars, one hundred and twelve in
number, divided into twelve classes,
each had . name, and an emblem sug-
gssted by their title; and - the CLASSES
were called in rotation, three or more
advanced to the chaucel, one presenting
the name, another r~ecitiug the Scripture
verse, and = third verses appropriate.
At the close, the offering in coin was
presented, in baskets, purses, plates or
cups, and the emblem left. Between

the most cheerful and happy style. We

mer Rector Of the Parish, was present.
and addressed the scholars in a pecu-
>liarly pleasant and happy manner. Rev.
Mr.. Lathrop also pointed the moral OF
the emblems. Tho Assistant Superip-
rtendent then bestowed gift books to
twenty scholars for meritorious conduct
for three years past, and announced the
mount, OF the offerings TO be $40. He
also stated the whole expenses OF the
school, from It's organization ave years
ago., to be Sl,lsI "a, and the amount
realized BY the concerts and this offering
Of the children TO be Sl,2l3 I5-a re-
sui, probably unparalleled in the history
Of any other Sunday School on the
coast. A large audience OF parents and
friends WAS In attendance. aud all seem
ed pleased with the exercises.
GoSs USp,R.-0n Saturday evening
last, at 9 o'clock, in the town Of Dayton,
= man BY the name Of Gsrwood, but
generally known ~ " Montana" while
in the Jail yard with other prisoners
made An attempt TO escape from the Off.
Ger in charge. The turnkey took the
prisoners TO Jail as soon ss Garwood
started, and At once informed Sheriff
Shaw Of the escape Of Gsrwood. Shaw
was at the time eating his breakfast,
but Immediately sprang on his horse
and gave chase TO the fugitive who had
started down the river. When about
half a mile below the Rock Point mill,
he discovered bis man hurrying off as
fast AS he could. In = few seconds he
hailed him and ordered him TO stop,
which he refused TO do. Shaw told him
if he did not, he would shoot him but
the man ran to the river and attempted
TO swim across il. Shaw fired FIVE shots
at him. He may have been hit, or he
may not but y thing is certain, be
did not reach the other shore. The river
10 very full, and the current rapid. Mr..
Shaw informed US that his action in the
matter WAS strictly in accordance with
what he conceived 10 be his duty rs su
officer. Garwood was committed for a
hne OF S22, for = disturbance Of the
peace but il is believed there is some
thing Of a more serious nature behind
the scene, which he did not want found
out while in custody. Therefore be
jeopardized his life 10 get away. He is
said to have been q hard case, and was
one Of the characters who fed from the
wrath Of the Vigilance committe in Mon
tana. II 10 hardly probable tina: = man
would make the attempt TO cross a stream
like the Carson at this time 70 escape
serving the term Of eleven days IN the
County Jail. l, i, a great pity that a
few more could not be run into the river
a. nothing short Of = river could wash
away their guilt.
A GRAND vlrw.-Lass Saturday even
ing, q short time before sunset, we, in
company with the proprietor Of the
washoe Exchange, climbed up a ladder
to the top Of the building. Having =
good glass with US, and looking to south
east, the view was really grand, con,id-
ering we were in the and of ssgebrush.
Far over the hills the Walker river VAL
lev lay stretched out 70 the east az far
as the eve could extend, and covered
with green grass, while the large lake al
the Sink Of the Carson was quite visi'
Bile. We would advise ell those who
complain OF this being a country where
nothing can be seen from the top Of q
tall building in Virginia with a glass, &c
try il and take q look over the country
and see if they do not change theii
minds. Some day we design making 9
trip to the summit of Mount Davidson
from which the view is said TO be grand
NoRl HlLLlRIsx.-LaSt night, Heller
the renowned magician, gave another
entertainment at the Opera House
There WAS a large audience present, who
seemed to DO we'll pleased with the en-
t~ertainment. The performance, las
night, was altogether superior to any
vet given, and was certainly well worth
seeing. Nearly the whole performance
was entirely new. People who have no
seen this wonder Of the world should b
sure to do so. Let no one iail 70 SCI
him before he leaves, IS he intends t
20 from Virginia to Salt Lake.
PrasoxAL.-we had tho pleasure o
meeting Mr.. C~hsppelette in Virgins
city, yesterday. He is in from Meadow
Lake, on business, and will return OF
next Saturday. He is the Superintend'
ent of the Mohawk miIe aud mill. Th'
mill will be started up in ten days, whei
he expects to show some good results. H'
speaks in high terms Of the prospects o
the district. All the mines that arr
being worked look well. The snow /
melting away rapidly and will be sbou
all gone BY the middle Of May.
ELECTION IN VIRGINIA CIrY.-The cleo
ton in Virginia city is passing OF qui
city. In fact there does not seem to b
as much liquor drank as on other days
when nothing unusual is going on
Both parties claim a victory, but tn
whole of the regular Union ticket will
probably be elected-eIcept, possibly
the Mayor.
