ABSENCE OF MrSD.-The most re-
markable case of absence of mind, or
forgetfulness, we have heard of for
n long time occurred a month or two
sidce, a well known physician Of this
place being the chief character. The
Doctor is the owner of a valuable
gold watch, and while visiting some
mining property Of his situated
some distance southwark, he took off
his coat and vest in camp "A even
ing and threw them upon the ground.
Seeing an inside pocket to tine vest
(which he had not Heretofore dis
coveredl, he took off his watch and
placed it therein. Next morning he
was in a peck of trouble" because
he could not find the watch. a re-
ward was offered; but the watch
came not. In due time the Doctor
returned to this city, threw aside his
mining clothes and went to San
Francisco. On his return to Carson
he again visited the mine. and in
quired about the watch, but il had
not been seen. One day the room
he occupied when he first returned
from the mine was being cleaned
out, when it was noticed that there
was something heavy in the pocket
of an old vest about being thrown
into the street. 1t is needless TO say
that the extra weight of the vest was
caused by the Doctors watch being
in the inside pocket, whore lie had
placed il two months previously,
and where it had been for nearly
two weeks while lie was wearing the
garment.
TEACHERS ISsrIrUrE.-A notice
appears in our columns this morn
ing, calling for a meeting Of the
teachers, and the organization Of a
Teachers Institute. II is greatly to
be desired that n more general and
lively interest should be awakened
among the citizens Of this State on
the subject of education, and that
our schools should be brought up TO
n higher standard Of excellence. II
has been proved by actual demon
stration in other States, that the
Teachers Institute is n powerful and
effective agent agent in the accom-.
plishment Of this end, and it i,
hoped that the effort to establish
such an Institute may meet with the
support that il deserves. We under
stand that invitations have been ex.
tended to the teachers of Storey.
Washoe, and other surrounding
counties, and that n number will b,
present.
