TIM NEw SCHOOL Housr.-Tbs pub.
lie school house just completed at the
corner Of E aud Smith streets, Virginia,
is a building very creditable, not only
to the city, but to Mr.. Currier, the con.
tractor and builder. We took a look
through it this morning, aud u cri,i.
cal judgment pronounees It well and
strongly constructed, and a very suit
able building in every particular. Hav.
ing particularly referred to it a few days
since, however, we will not enter extern
siyely into details at present. 1t is 10
fset long, by 40 feet wide, and two
stories high, with proper recreation
grounds, and outbuildiugs attached, and
excellent arrangements for ventilation
are observable. There are three school
rooms on the lower floor, for the pri-
mary departments, and W. on the up
per floor for intermediate and grammar
departments. Both sections are pro.
vided with Mushrooms, hat and cloak
rooms, etc., and the two school
rooms on the second floor are separated
by q very well arranged movable parti.
ton, which when occasion requires can
be conveniently set aside, thus giving a
spacious hall the whole length, and
nearly the whole width Of the build
ing. In this hall will be given
the grand promenade concert and
ball tonight, the proceeds Of which
will go to defray certain extra but
very necessary expenses in finishing
the building, constructing n sidewalk in
front, etc. The floor of the hall is very
firmly constructed aud supported, there
fore no fears need be INDUCED il Of its
breaking down, even though people
should pour in there ten tier deep. 1t
cannot break down; those who think it
can are no mechanics or judges Of good
carpenter work. We noticed rather a
peculiar feature, in each school-room
being provided with ~blackboards, three
feet in hight, extending around the
sides Of the room, just above the
wainscoting, making it very convenient
for both scholars and teachers in illus
trating studies. We like that school
house. 1t is quite n different institution
from the slab-benched old shanty in
which we were boosted up the ladder of
learning, and the scholar who can't
learn fast and effectively in this new
school house must be an inevitable
blockhead.
CARSON IrEMs.-Tho Appeal of this
morning gives the following : George
W. Chedic, County Assessor for Ormsby,
told US that up to date he had collected
$500 on personal property tax ; 3d.
900 for poll tax, and $4,000 lnterusl
Revenue tax. These amounts, together
with $40, 900 to be collected on real es-
tate, will place our county finances in
good shape. Senator Nye, DR.. Muuek-
ton, John James and Bill Leet, bid fare
well to their friends in Carson on yes
tsrday, and started for Pine Grove.
They think they have n rich mine at
that place, and if so their poor friends
and relatives may expect q remittance
very soon. Tony Ward, au old resident
theater actor Of the Carson Temple of
Thsspis, arrived from White Pine yes
terday. The young man has had fair
success in tho land Of chlorides and
thunderstorms, and i, now on his way
to New York, 10 organize a troupe for
the purpose of giving our citizens q
chance to see some legitimate drama.
The Carson race track is o In first
rate condition =; in fact, was never in
better. Much fac stock is coming in
daily, and good sport may be expected
on the 18th. The races will be entirely
under the supervision of the Carson
City Jockey Club, and from our personal
knowledge of the character Of tho men
OF that body, q "square deal' will be
made.
FREE TEMPERANCE LECTURE TONIGHT.
DR.. c. S. Haswell, Grand Lecturer oil
the I. o. G. T. for California and Ne.
vsds, gives a lecture this evening At the
VI. z. Church, Gold Hill, on the subject
of Temperance. He lectured last even
ing on the same subject at Silver City,
to the largest audience seen there for a
long time. \ lecture IN Temperance
is generally looked upon in this section
rs something rather o~utlandish, stale
and dry, yet when served up By the
Doctor, it is particularly entertaining
and good. He is no angulGr.faced as
celtic, but that genial smile and friendly
nose tell US that he ia fully capable Of
treating his subject With the ability de-
rived from experience, and natural tact
combined with true humor and good
sense. His lectures are free, and no
collections taken up. Crowd the church
tonight, listen, ponder, and be wise.
OPERA HOUSE, MELopEoN.-Thsre was
n huge audience last evening, on the
occasion Of George Goes benefit, not
w%i,hstandirg that there was also
another big house at DR.. Simms' lee
ture, at Athletic Hall. The dress circle
presented a fine array Of ladies, and the
entertainment given evidently pleased
the audience well, to judge from the vo'
ciferous applause. Billy Asherofts
song and dance arrangement Of Ny
Father Sould Charcoal" was deservedly
received with high favor it is one OF
the beat acts anybody ever saw on that
stage, when performed by Ashcroft.
"~Impudence and Assurance" and the
"Slaughter Of the I~nuoeents," were
well done and no mistake. The excel
lent piece Of "The Streets Of New
York." concluded the performance.
Tonight another capital bill is pre-
sented. Go to the Opera House.
DR.. Sims LgcruRss.-The last OF
DR.. Simms' lectures, o: Athletic Hall,
Virginia, was given las. evening, and
Notwithstanding that the price of ad'
mission was doubled, he still had q
crowded house. His subject was " Love,
Courtship and Marriage" and We GER
~,ainIy never saw a more interested au
dance. His lecture was very good, bu'
when he or my other lecturer presume'
70 tell the ladies to never marry a mar
who has ever got drunk once, who
wears, tells lies, or chsws tobacco, W.
decidedly object-although We don''
