the Chamber. Mr.. freeman was the president OF

always been the custom OF the Chamber to elect
such persons to membership. he would vote for
them.
the great difficulty was that the mass Of merchants
do not take sufficient interest In the work OF the
Chamber, and that IL became necessary to add other
kindred interests in order TO retain the influence OF
the Chamber. Messrs. Griffith, Sands Wetmore and
OF Mr. Wetmore, the vote was taken, and both

bow Of the ferryboat Oneida, without being seen by
the pilot, and were run down Corcoian was res
cued, while his more unfortunate companion sank TO
the bottom Of the river. The evidence clearly

such was the verdict; the Jury, however, recon-
mended the pilots Of ferrybjals to be cautious In

COOP JoKE.-About the best joke
perpetrated on our Town election yes,
terday, appears in the Enterprise this
morning, in speaking Of the result in
the Second Ward. Read: "There was
$50 majority in favor Of building a
schoolhouse. This shows that the peO-
pie Of Gold Hill have not lost sight of
the importance Of educating the rising
generation" Capital joke on Gold
Hill! Why, we have no less than
three school-houses-a primary, an in
termediate, and q grammar-and they
are all in the Second Ward-and are
not excelled, in apy respect whatever,
either by the schools in Virginia City
or any other section Of the State. The
Enterprises comment might lead peo'
pie to surmise that we had no school:
in Gold Hill, and that we had just
voted to build a schoolhouse! Bosh
What we voted for yesterday was, tc
simply sell one of our school lots, a
we have no use for it, aud the proceeds
are to be applied to n little matter o
improvement of our schoolhouses. The
wonderful success in the result Of oul
Town election yesterday must have
caused the Local editor Of the Enter
prise to have become slightly obfuS'
Gated on the schoolhouIe question.
