limited, u notice thereof must neces-
sarily also be limited. Quite a number
of parents and friends of the scholars
were present, thus manifesting their
laudable interest in the cause of edu-
cation. The scholars numbered nearly
fifty, Of both sexes, their ages ranging
from ten to fifteen years, and a more
intelligent looking assemblage of
young Americans we have never wit
messed anywhere-not ever when we
first essayed the ascent Of the ladder of
learning from the rude benches Of that
old "Down East" school-house, per-
suaded upward and onward by q big
stick in the hands of the village school,

days they operate OIL different tactics, rs
witness this large handsome new
school-house, we'll lighted and yenti-
lated, and with comfortable, convent
ent seats and desks of the latest and
most approved pattern. When we
entered, and during vi short stay, the
examination was entirely upon what
we used to consider the mysteries and
miseries of arithmetic. The whole
school was very thoroughly exercised
in it, and displayed 4 wonderful de-
gree Of Intelligence and correctness
therein. Some of the most advanced
scholars ranged around the sides of
the room did whole black-boardS
full OF the most formidable looking
sums, explaining what was meant by
the serried ranks and platoons of fig

in a perfectly clear, concise and salts
factory manner. Twas wonderful
how they did 1t, but they did," Then
the teacher asked any amount OF out
side, skirmishing questions III the same
subject ut random, calling OH the vari-
Gus scholars by name to answer. And
they were all ready with their answers,
too. Even the knottiest kind of prob
lematical propositions In that line
found the pupil called upon ready
with his or her answer. But it
was q pleasing rs well as amusing
feature TO notice sometimes, when the
answerer was a little incorrect, dill-
tory or In doubt, how the hands OF all
the rest Of the school were animatedly
and ambitiously raised, each pupil,
little or big, thus emulously Signitying
that they knew the correct answer.
Emulation is an incentive paramount
to all others in school education, 4
point evidently understood and apprc-
ciated in the management of the Gold
Hill Grammar School.
DESPERATE SHOOTING AEERAY AT
DAYTON A TEAMsTER MORTALITY
WoUNpEp.-About . o'clock this morn
ing a shooting affray occurred at Il hay
yard in Dayton, between 4 couple of
teamsters named Andrew Calvin and
James Mooney, resulting in the severe
and perhaps fatal wounding Of Galvln.
The particulars Is we learned them are
as follows: These men each have 4
team. and have been employed for
some time past hauling wood into Day
ton from the FL Dorado canyon, and
Palmyra section. Yesterday or last
evening they had 4 dispute relative to
each others teams, and some harsh
language passed between them. This
morning they were hitching UP to
drive out, when meeting each other,
Calvin asked Mooney If he meant
what he said the evening previous.
Mooney replied that he did, and
hard words were interchanged.
Directly Calvin pulled his revolver
and ordered Mooney also to draw,
which he did, and shooting commenced.
Calvin got in the two first shots with
out hitting, when Mooney fired, the
ball entering Galvin's right breast,
dropping him and ending the attray.
Mooney was arrested. DIR. llaZlitt, of
Dayton, was called, and DR.. Hall, of
Gold Hill, telegraphed for. who re-
paired thither Immediately. Calvin
was found to be shot through the right
lung, the ball entering just forward OF
the nipple, which was extracted by DR..
Hall at the lower point Of his shoulder
blade, having passed entirely through
his body. He must have had his left
hand raised against his breast, for the
same bullet grazed the palm Of the
hand and shattered the second joint Of
the first finger before it entered his
breast. DIR. Hall considers that his
chances of living are very poor,
although he may possibly recover. lie

ROUND THE CoRSER. - In another
column see the advertisement of SisSa's
new saloon, at Virginia. He has given
il the above decidedly original name,
and it Is . very appropriate one-for
the entrance, instead Of being on =
street, as formerly, Is now "round the
corner" and justa few steps up Union
street. If his patrons cannot get IN
through the front door now, they VIII
find that side window very convenient;
When they get inside they will find
one of the neatest, cosleSt, pest ar,
ranged little bars imaginable, well
stocked, with nothing but the very
choicest brands Of wines, liquors and
cigars. Don't fail to find the place,
Just "Round the Corner"
