aud after the "Song Of Welcome"
the opening address was delivered by
Miss W. Timmons. The address was
neat, appropriate and we'll spoken.
We have not time to speak Of all the
exercises in their order but must say
that they were all very interesting
and we'll received. The little drama
entitled the (Which of Rosenburg,"
was the grand feature Of the day, and
was exceedingly we'll performed. Dur
ing the three acts Of the piece some
most excellent music was introduced,
and the singing was delightful. Sew
eral of the juvenile performers ex-
hibited astonishing dramatic talent.
"Rome's Victory" another little
drama, Examination Day at Madame
Savante's," and other pieces, were
very interesting. "Our Old Church
on the Corner" read by Miss NJ.
Cashion. and the song "God Bless the
Little Church." were both well re-
ccived by all present. An excellent
| closing address was delivered by Miss
Julia King, when the Parting Ode
| closed the exercises. A great number
Of prizes Of various kinds were dis
tributed among the pupils, much to
their delight, as was particularly to be

infantile. The following young ladies

CARSON IrEMs.-We extract the fol-
lowing from the Register Of this morn
ing: Yesterday was u great day for
the arrival of notables-Gov. Bradley,
C. L. Perkins and John l. CHM. No
wonder the cars were delayed. We
welcome the "local" to his post, and
trust that the example given him In
the modest, gcntlemanly conduct of
the Young American who has attempt
ed to I'LL his place during his absence
will have n salutary effect In leading
him to virtue and peace. ...G George L..
| Gibson, who returned from Reno yes
terday, informs US that the contract to
build the railroad bridge has been
given to Mr.. Thompson, and that said
bridge will be commenced forthwith.
Ike James is busy in the survey. The
old survey will be somewhat departed
from. Mr.. Gibson appears perfectly
satisfied with the arrangements, and
his Judgment will do TO rely on.... On
Thursday, the case of United States We.
B. +. Small ct al, was tried in the
United States District Court. before
Judge Hillyer and a jury. j. Seely,
U. S. Attorney, for the prosecution,
and Il. NJ. Clarke for the defense. The
complaint charged Mr.. Small as a de-
faulter In the sum of $2,8SS. The de-
tense showed that In consequence Of
the refusal Of the Postmaster General
to allow Clerks salary, office rent and
other items allowed by law for post
offices of the second class, the United
| States Government was debtor to Mr..
| Small. The case was ably argued on
| both sides and submitted to the jury,
who at a Int hour In the evening
brought In IN unanimous verdict for
| the defendants. Ben has q host OF
friends, and they will be sincerely
happy on hearing the termination Of
the suit, for he Is n good fellow and as
sincere a friend as eve breathed. and
no man deserves to be rich better than
B. F. Small. -, The Silver Stars will
play their regular practice game OF
base ball to-day, commencing ut ESQ
p. ". The boys are rapidly improving.
and expect to hold that ball and bat
against all competitors.
