Owyhee tidal wave. [volume] (Silver City, Owyhee County, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1869-1870, 1869-09-09

We visited the Silver City Sabbath School
last Sunday, at the invitation of the super
intendent, Mr. Vass, and spent very pleas
ant hour among the little people, who are in
few years to take our places in the active
husipess OF life. The school is quite well
attended by the children, but the superin-
teDdent informs US that his greatest difficulty
* 10 obtaining sufficient number of teach
ers 10 attend regularly. This should not be.
If parents would only accompany their chill
dren TO school, as we were pleased TO notice
a few do. they would not only find pleasure
and profit in assisting TO develop the intel
lects Of their own but their neighbors chill
dren The school has an excellent library OF
books and distributes large number of pa
pers adapted 10 the capacity OF children.
The Good Templars furnish the use OF their
ball rent free, and very little interest on
the part Of the people ought to maintain
thriving 5 nday School. We believe the
school is not seclarian in its teachings being
under control OF no particular denomination
of Christians, so that all can patronizc il
without violating any peculiar prejudice they
NAV entertain as to church doctrines Those
who have the welfare of children at heart
should take an interest in the Sunday School,
No more valuable present could be made
boy than to take him from the street and
give him an introduction TO the Sabbath
school
George CowIes received news Of the
death OF an only dog day or two since, IN
der the head OF "Another Bark Stranded. "
From an article clipped from Colorado pa
per, we learn that old Pomp first saw the
light at sea, some nine days old at the time,
on his way from the land OF his forefathers,
IN the highlands OF Scotland, in the year
1855. and died in Central City, Colorado, IN
1869 at the age of fourteen. We have not
room for his history, except that he spent
his early youth in New ork, and was taken
By Geo. Cowles TO Illinois, and afterwards to
Colorado, where he has since resided until
his death, respected by all and venerated by
Younger pups Tor his quiet and orderly con-
duct, and dignitied demeanor. He was not
given to the reprehensible practice OF bark
ing at other dogs or passers by, neither did
he engage in disgraceful street fights. This
is the only youngster George ever brought
up, but il shows an aptitude for training the
young in the way they should go, that leaves
q painful reflection on the mind when we
reflect that P0mp was the only ward he and
his excellent lady have ever had an oppor-
tunity 10 practice their moral training upon.
Got Back Again.--Hill Beachey ar
rived in Elko on the 2Sth of August from
the East, where be underwent a severe at
tack of eryslpelas, of which it was feared for
a time he would not recover. Eugene How
ard, his superintendent on this oute. paid
him a visit and informs US that he is now all
right, with the exception of the loss OF about
one third of his flesh, which he could spare
however without great Inconvenience. He
brought with him Mrs. o. X. johnson and
another sister, besides a nephew, w. c.
Beachey, who takes general charge of the
books OF the line from here TO Winnemucca,
as well as that from Elko TO White Pine, and
will keep his office at Elko, to which point
all agents on both lines will hereafter report.
The stage started between Elko and
Cope, on the Sd, loaded with passengers.
