A Minor Fals 400 Feet t. Instant

The Chronicle OF last evening has the
following story of miners fatal fall
This morning about $3.50 o'clock, .
miner named Richard Noall. fell from
the l, 900 foot level III the Gould h Chr
~ shaft to the bottom, which is q dis
lance of about 1876 feet. and WAS instant
ly killed. Both arms were broken in
three places, and his legs were broken
and the entire upper portion OF his skull
crushed in. He was native Of st. Bla-
zey. Cornwall, England, where he has
q wife and three children iv.ng. He
was about 40 years of age. His body is
at Barnes undertaking io)ms, from
which place his funeral will take place
tomorrow ut II N. Coroner Mayer held
AZ inquest this afternoon. From the
testimony of $. Il. Ferguson. foreman of
Of the mine, and Thomas Bradley and

fortunate man had been employed i'll

fore he fell, and they aelee that he had
light in his hand. H. ,ss not known

! The usual yearly examination OF The
Carson Public School is now in progress,
having commenced on Monday last in
the highest grade 81 the school, taught
by Miss Emlyn Walter. We consider it
little to the credit of the patrons of the
| school aud the Carson pubic generally
, that SO few of its citizens attend these
| public exercises for the purpose of noting
| the proficiency attained by the pupils,
and the capability and zeal manifested
by their instructors. Much is said pro
and con respecting the efficiency of
public school teachers and the results
achieved There i. no lack of discussion
ard yet but corporal's gnard OF those
most interested can be induced to wit
| ness these public exhibitions after many
and earnest solicitations SO TO do. These
EXAMINATIONS occur but ouce year. Is
it possible that business projects are Of
such vital importance that they can not
be laid aside for one day III the year ia
order that the parent may know to
whom he intrUsts, to n great extent, The
formation Of his child's character? We
think not.
Reading was the topic first considered
in Miss Walters class. Owing to a
press Of other matter this important
branch has been somewhat neglected
during the past year, yet the pupils
showed themselves equal TO the emtrs-
ency, and passed the ordeal with iuuch
credit Following came the test in spell !
ing and defining. We can not speak too
highly regarding the result of these e1-
ercises, no pupil falling below per /!
centaee OF 81, and the majority attaining !
100. The test in United States history .
followed, with equally good results. The !
method Of examination IN practical
arithmetic was. perhaps, 4 little severe,
but such a. to test thoroughly the capq-
blities OF the class. The following are
the averages attained ty those n this
class deserving especial commentator
in the branches specified; Arithmetic

BCNKsE HILL DAY was not allowed to
pass unrecoGniZed in Carson. The stars
and stripes loated from the dome Of the
| Capitol, the Mint. the Warren Engine
House and many hotels and business
! places. A squad of inlpromptu artillerists
was mustered into service: mainly mint
men; and We noticed lieutenant Bar
| lngame, Charley Wilson. Peck Burnham
! and eN-Sheriff Cummings handling the
| old Curry Kill Devil and making her talk
| the tone Of terror to the hlarsted British.
They bOwsed her up on Capitol square.
first on the north and then on the south
side, and rammed her home with wads Of
oakum, old shirt tails, grass. sage-brush
and SO forth. and got some whanging
music ont Of her. As they were blazing
away opposite our office door We Il Jticed,
after each report, what seemed the fall
ing of many flakes of snow. Upon close
inspection We discovered that these ap-
parent sno flakes were flakes of cotton
from the cotton wood trees. We heard !
many regrets that steps had not been |
taken to carry out our plan of a military |
parade and an Grafton. poem aud COLA |
ton here. The day was lively one and |
such an observance of the day here at |
the Capitol would have been appropriate
and handsome.

American Episcopal Churches OF Europe, under
the app ointment of the presiding BirhOp OF the
Episcopal Church of the United s. ates.
An evening paper of this city publishes the fol.
lowing:
"Through a gentleman who arrived to-day
from st. Pierre, the French colony in British
North America, intelligence has been received Of
most terrible sci les Of ASSASSINATION in single

"a whole family, consisting of an aged man "a

son-in-law Mons Cartier) and his wife and two
sons and daughter, and one Folquet, the keeper
OF their villa, were foully murdered on the morn

D'Lescales's mansion is situated about half a

Manly to la ge and enthusiastic crowd. He
did not enter into partisan poit CO. but asked
the p ople of North Carolina III 1876 to act upon
the principle that plry trickery was not polilic
but that duty to the country was next to devo-
ton to God. He wanted the men OF the South
united, not for southern preponderance or South

of q happy union and the equality Of the States.
He begged the people of North Carolina to cul-
tivAte good will between the sections. and hoped
the people Of all the States would do likewise.
He concluded amid great cheering, and was es-
corted to the depot by music and the two mill
tary companies OF this city, the route being illu-
minated with bonfres.

A PIGEON Posi- BETWEEN EUROPE AMI
AMERICA. An ocean homing bird of great do.
cility, intelligence and spirit has been found in
Iceland, which flies at meteor like speed of
$50 miles an hour, and is able to find its
home over sea and land from any part of the
habitable world. A pair of these birds, few
days ago, brought dispatches from Paris to a
lonely spot, congenial to their nature, in a
wild and rocky part Of Kent, within ten miles
OF London, in one and half hours. Press
carrier pigeons took theedispatches on to the
city, the whole distance from Paris to Lon
dor, by actual parcel mode of conveyance,
being done within one and half hours. If the
experiments at present being made in training
and educating them continue successful, it is
hoped by next summer to establish daily
miniature ocean mail between America and
Europe, The whole distance to be traversed
between sunrise in one hemisphere and sun
set in the other.-London Liue Stock Journal.

Ex-Secretary Delano's regularity in drawing
his salary during the forty-two per cent of his
time when he was "resting," suggests to the
New York Tribune the story told of colonel
Of one Of the New England cavalry regiments
at the beginning of the war. He was good
deal more expert in Furnishing whisky than
in fighting the enemy, and greater part of
the time was in very mellow condition.
His camp was flooded one night with a
furious rain, in which his tent was blown
down. He was dragged out and set up in his
night gown on cracker box in the center of
a deep pool of water. Maintaining an up
right position with great difficulty, he shouted
to his soldiers Courage, boys we are max
ing history Yes, we are making history, and
all the time our pays going on with the most
astonishing regularity At this point the
box upset, and he disappeared gracefully be-
meath the surface of the puddle.
