We should judge Glendale to be a very
healthy locality. The Meadows for many
miles around are fenced in and under
cultivation for grain, corn, II nay
raising. A large store is kept at Glen
dale by Messrs. Schmidt 4 Savage,
where all kinds Of groceries, PROVISIONS

Ashley, our present Congressman, from
the State of Michigan, with what was
known among the early emigrants as
the Michigan Pony teams, who led the
van Of the emigration Of that year.
Ashley was treasurer Of the company,

A BuRGH PUEr.-Julius Silversmith,
of New York, recently delivered a lee
ture before the American Mechanics ln.
stitute, in which he said that: " Rapid
strides were made in California, when
in the years 1889 and 1860 the silver
mines Of washoe, 10Y known as the
State Of Nevada, were first iscovered
and worked. Few of you u realize
the immense activity, life and hustle
this advent produced until the indom-
table spirit of enterprising men finally
succeeded in rearing, in the short space
of time of one year, in the very midst
OF an UNEMPLOYED country, where the
Piute savage had scarcely allowed his
fires to die away in burning embers, a
city of over 10000 inhabitants now
the commercial center Of the Silver
State, and known upon our Northwest
ern geographical chart as Virginia City.
In the very midst of this burgh is that
famous Comstock Lode, from which
nearly $4,000 900 in gold and silver
are annually extracted, and in point OF
space or area not exceeding half the
length or breath Of our Broadway IN

GOLD Hill PUBLIC SCHOOLS. We
learn from DR.. Waterman, Principal OF
the Gold Hill Public Schools, that dur
ing the month Of October, 1877 pupils
were enrolled in the registers OF the
Public Schools Of this town. The aver
age number belonging was ITO. VI this
number LAG were residents OF the town
of Gold Hill, and the remaining "a pu-
pills, who attend the Divide school, be-
long 10 Virginia city. The average
number belonging to the two school
rooms in the Second Ward is l22.
THE SABBATH SCHOOL CONCERT, on
Sunday evening, at the Carson Presey-
terrain church was well attended and u
very pleasing affair. The exercises con-
sisted of declarations, dialogues, sing
ing, and a brief discourse by Rev. A. F.
White. As usual heretofore on such
occasions the church was filled beyond
its capacity for seating people. The
collection taken resulted in $40 for
Sunday school papers. This sum, we
understand will furnish 100 copies
weekly for one year.-ARpedt.

lars (based on currency, to bear two
per cent. interest per month, and re-
deemable in two years. This Is nm eA-
cellent chance to invest several 0
sand dollars, with good interest on the
money, and certainty Of redemption.
