A BUSY RoAD.-The Virginia and
Truckee Railroad Is destined to become
n of the busiest In the United States.
In all probability, If the owners Of the
road had had an adequate conception
of the amount Of business to which the
road would be subjected. a double
track would have been laid. instead Of
a single one. At present twenty-five
trains are running over the road regu-
larly, besides q number Of wild trains.
70 keep these trains from hitting each
other Is a matter Of no ordinary diff
Guilty. The men engaged In running
the trains make four trips a day, and
have learned to live without sleep
almost altogether. At the northern
terminus of the road they have barely
time to visit Evans chop house, swal-
low a cup Of coffee aud bolt down a
piece of pie before making their return
trip.
An INVOLUNTARY SUICIDE, ALMOST.
We learn that at about 2 O'Clock this
mornIng. a man residing In Virginia
by the name Of Burns, while suf-
ering from acute pains came near dy-.
inc from the effects Of an over dose OF
morphine, taken undesignedly. In
ali probability he would have lost his
life but for the heroic treatment ad-
ministered to him by Mr.. Bolan and
John O'Connell. who happened to be
in the billiard room oil Cooley e Doyle
Mt the time the affair occurred. These
gentlemen succeeded by \ vigorous
castigation In keeping the sufferer
alive until the arrival OF DR.. McMeans,
who was sent for In post haste. This
forenoon we learned that the man was
out OF danger.
A Coop IpEA.-At their last meet
ing, the virginia City School Trustees
passed an order to the effect that per-
.ons having business matters to ar
rsnge or grievances to be redressed. In
respect to their children, must call up
on teachers outside Of school hours,
rbi, Ia a move In the right direction,
os irate women here and elsewhere ioi
some apparent or fancied slight or
done their children, have been
in the habit Of charging into the schoo
room during school hours for the pur'
pose OF bullying or threatening teach,
ers, q proceeding evidently In oao
taste and we'll calculated to weaken
the teachers Influence and demoralizt
the pupils.
