Our parish School Board consisting of five
members have organized by e!ectng O. Fl
Brewster, president, Perrin Nicholas. treasurer,
and Chas. DeIery, secretary. The Treasurer
has given bond in the sum of five thousand
dollars, and fifteen or sixteen hundred dollars
have been placed in his hands to be paid out TO
the Wards of the parish in proportion to the
number OF children in each Ward.
We clip the above.paraghaph from the Rad
ical organ in this place. No matter how or
why such men were put at the head of the Pub
lie School system of this parish, it is act
dsgraceful to any age or people. The whole
secret of the business is, plainly an intention
to use the machinery of the public school to
promote the political ntrigues of the Radical
adherents, demagogues and thieves in our
midst. The better class of our population have
been ignored and studiously so, no doubt in
organizing this board and thousands ofdollars-
raised by taxation upon that class and the in
terests Of children placed in the h ands of men
totally unfit for or worthy of any public trust
1t will not be long, under such scandalous
treatment as this, before the people will resolve
to abolish public schools altogether, They
are already but little better tina hot-bads OF
Radicalism and loafing places for children be-
cause the matter of education is only an Incl

ELDER Brand Is PERsEcUTED.-The
people of Carson are well acquainted
with Elder Brand, the Josephi,e preach
er-of the Reorganized Church of Latter
Day saints. l. seems that the Elder is
now in Southern Utah, on q mission.
He finds the Jordan Of Deseret hard
road to travel. Ia a late letter 10 the
Corinne Reporter be details some of his
troubles. "The Bishop Of Lehi" got
after him with a stick of cord wood at
Provo he and his fellow missionaries
were assAiled with rocks"-stoned,
like st. Stephen, for their faith at
Battle Greek "the boys" booted and
groaned during service, and policemen
and "the boys" pelted them with stones
One brother got bit en- the head. Then
the old school Mormons "pat up job"
on the Elder and bis friends. Brand
~as asked to bap,ize some of ''the boys;
out he smelt a mice and did not perform
that rite. He shresdly concluded that
they wanted to bsptize him. He de.
clined to take the chances of being keel
hauled. We infer that the followers of
Brigham look on him as o fire Brand.
Seriously, the Elder seems to be in no
little danger from the Destroying Angels;
and it would seem 20 be the better part
Of valor for him to abandon bis mission
in the realms of Brigham Young.

Seat. He has not as yet made sufficient
progress to Justify him in returning an
estimate. Nat saws that young ones
are unlimited in Reno, and everybody

LsoAfs IS AssAlLED BY FlRs n THI
RsAa.-The Enterprise iaflicss the fol
lowing good thing on Charley Lesa,e
Last Saturday Charley Legate, the
we'll known proprietor of Legats's Chop
House, in this city, met with one OF the
most singular accidents We have ever
been called upon 10 record. He owns q
very enc cabinet of ores and minerals,
and being about to show his collection
to . friend, be went to Perry L Twins
saloon and borrowed of Beeny" a
magnifying glass some Eve or six inches
in diameter, kept at the saloon for the
convenience Of persons wishing to ex-
anime . fine cabinet Of ores kept there.
Armed with this fine large glass, Leg
ate took bis friend 10 his residence and
exhibited 10 him all the magnificent
specimens in bis large collection. Thus
far all right; but upon his return Char
ley met an acquaintance at the corner
OF D and Union streets, and stopped to
chat with him, folding his hands behind
his back, as is his usual habit. Those
who know Legate also know that upon
congenial controversial topics bis con-
versa,ional powers are almost unlimit-
ed. Standing with his back TO the
south, his left hand clasping bis right
wrist, aud holding the big magnifying
glass in his hand, he talked on, utterly
unconscious that all this time the mag.
infer vas doing duty in his rear as a
burning glass. After the glass had kin
died some dozen or more 6res in the seat
of his breeches, be began 10 imagine
that be smelt something burning and
mentioned the circumstance to his
friend, who said that he toe had for
some time thought he smelt burning
cotton. The pair then concluded that
there must be q FIRE in frsme house
near which they were standing. They
entered the house, and finding a woman
there told her they thought her house
mus, be on FIRE, a. they had noticed
strong smell of burning cotton while
standing 10 the street. The woman said
she had no FIRE about the house and OBJ
served no such smell as they spoke of |
They could still smell burning cotton,
and turned about for the purpose Of
an adjoining building, hen
the woman cried out "Good Lord,
Mister, you're all on FIRE behind u
Clspping his hand behind him, Legate
found it but too troO." His overai!s |
were on fire 10 the rear for a space of
ten inches square his pantaloons were
burned through, shirt burned. and
pocket handkerchief in his rear pocket
more than half consumed. He came
near being a roasted scientist, and for a
time WAS q very active fireman.
