DAsTARDLY CoyDUcT.-An inhuman
wretch by the name of Shubert,
crossing the plains from one of the
Western States to Walla Walla, with
wife and two step-daughters, the
oldest aged about IL years, fell out
with his family last week near the
mouth of Sinker creek, took the
wagon and team, with all their eff
fects, and drove off, leaving the wo-
man and two girls on the sage plain
entirely destitute. c. IL. Johnson,
of the Sinker mill, and John Gaia
low went to their relief with team
and provisions and brought them to
Mr.. Johnson's house, where they
still remain. A subscription paper
was circulated in town day before
yesterday, and sufficient money col
Iected to relieve their immediate
wants. They will be brought in to
town where house has been pro-
vided for their accommodation
Such conduct as that of Shubert de-
serves seyerest punishment. We
hope our contemporaries in Oregon
and Washington will let the people
know what manner of man this Shu-
bert is, and hold him up to the exc
Grafton of all good people. We
have not learned his first name but
will do SO and publish it here
alter. Mrs. S. is represented to be
quite an intelligent lady, as are also
her daughters. We trust this COM
munity will meet them in q proper
spirit by encouraging them and Civ
ing them something to do by which
they can earn a comfortable liyeli-
hood.

THE Idaho World has reliable
information that Reynolds boasts
of having evidence to show dishon-
est acts in Wisconsin on the part of
our Chief Justice, etc. The Capital
Chronicle (Democratic) INDUCES in
the following just and liberal refec-
tons, quite at variance with the
usual conduct of Democratic papers,
for which it deserves credit We
cannot see that there is anything
g to be gained by the publication OF
inuendoes like the above against
zone occupying the honorable posi-
" ton of Chief Justice. Ifthe editor

in Lis controversy with Reynolds,

"render all possible aid, provided
"we can do so without dragging the
ermine, which we are pleased thus
g far to say has been unsoiled, into
"the controversy. The people do
mot believe that any good will re-
"sult to our interests by the Judges
taking part in our political con-
troversies. So say we. The Chief
"Justiee will sustain no injury,
neither can our party secure any
more votes by thus forcing outsid-
" ers into these personal and maybe
personalities"

o. r. KIRKPATRICK, who followed
the horse thief to Elko, found his
man recovered the horse, together
with Presby's saddle, at that place,
where he was detained some time
awaiting a requisition to bring the
thief back to Idaho. Finally getting
it he started back with his prisoner,
and at Winnemucca had the misfor-
tune to let him escape. We have
not heard by what means nor can we
learn the name or description of the
rascal.

From Cope.--J. F. Dye returned from
Cope District on Tuesday, having given the
camp thorough examination, and reports
very favorably both as to quartz and placers.
He was there at the time of the discovery of
the placers by c. T. Russell and secured
claim, which, though wafer cannot be had
at present, he thinks will pay fair wages in
the spring. The Argenta he regards as the
best quartz lode he ever saw, so far as can
be judged from the small amount of work
that has been bone. The California, Pioneer
and others be thinks will prove valuable.
Geo. p Brewster arrived yesterday with
similar tidings He brings specimens from
the Crescent, owned by Cage, Rinehart, Ew-
ing and others, showing sheet silver in con-
siderable quantities

School Examination.--on Wed

School Examinations Wed
nesday afternoon, by invitation of the teach
er, o. H. Purdy, Esq, we attended the tx
animation of the District School at the close
of the quarter, and were very well pleased
with the aptness and facility with which the
girls and boys answered questions in geogra-
ply, arithmetic and grammar, as well as the
clearness and distinctness with which they
read selections from their reading books.
Two or three Of the larger pupils manifested
a good degree of elocutional talent in hay
ing acquired correct accent round information
and pleasing meditation of voice.
The singing exercises were an interesting
feature, and reflected credit on teacher and
pupils.
The illustrations on the blackboard of &C.
ographical and arithmetical problems were
very well and correctly executed.
Taken altogether, we regard the examin-
alton as a success II is true, some embar
rassment, consequent on the presence Of so
many older persons, was visible, and occa-
sionally young rogue would perpetrate
joke when the masters back Was turned,
but it Is boyish to do so, and boys viii be
boys
1t is a long time ago, but we have dis
tinct recollection of once having been a
school-boy ourself, and of doing some naughty
tricks during school hours, for which we de
served, and had we been found out, would
have received good switching with beech
sprout.
The girls, though they looked the very
picture of mischief. restrained themselves
and behaved very prettily.
The only occurrence that tended to mar
the exercises and detract from their interest
was the presence OF band Of sqcaling hogs
in close proximity to the building, that kept
up such noise as to render some OF the
recitations inandible.
