ScHooL MATrERs.-Mrs. Potter, an
experienced teacher, has opened new
primary school in the Baptist Church,
South c street, Virginia, with seven
ty-tive pupils. The primary schools
of Virginia are very much crowded,
one hundred and eighty pupils being
iu one department alone. T
The Gold Hill and Virginia Divide
schools have a total number of
schools amounting to two hundred
and seventy-tive. 1t is expected they
will soon increase to three hundred
and fifty.
The High School department of
the public schools of Gold Hill will
in a short time give an entertainment
of literary character, which, from
the pains taken, will he quite a treat.
We regret very much our inability
to give the number of pupils attend
ing our public schools, which Is
owing to the negligence of the teach
er of the different departments, who
should make quarterly reports to the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
of the number of pupils in attendance,
etc. We are not certain that the law
compels this course to be pursued,
except it be required by the Superin-
tendent, as section "a Of the amended
school law reads: "All teachers Of
public schools shall keep a register
Of all scholars attending such schools,
their ages, daily attendance and time
of continuance at school, ADD such
further statistics as may be required
by the Superintendent of Public In
struction, and shall deliver such
register at the close of their term Of
employment to the Board of Trustees
of their district The present Super
intendent, we believe, desires alquar-
terly report, and.thea only teacher who
has forwarded one is Miss Sarah
Hall, of Sutro, who reports the atten-
dance of her school as twenty-five.
We understand blanks will soon be
forwarded to the different teachers to
be filled out us prescribed by law.

PERsoNAL.-Mr. w. j. Hutchings,
Superintendent Of the Trojan mine
in Gold Hill, and the WIN. Penn
mine near this place, favored us with
a call yesterday. He is an expert
enced miner and u rusher, as his
work at the latter mine shows. On
Monday last he took charge of the
uline; on Tuesday made a contract
for building the store house, black
smith shop, DC; Wednesday all
the timber was on the ground;
Thursday the grading was finished
and the sills laid, and to-day the
building will be finished. He will
Immediately set eight-hour shifts to
work cleaning out the tunnel, which
is caved near the entrance. When
that is done, contracts will be let to
continue the work. At this rate it
will not take long to show what there
is in it, and enterprising, energetic
men are what we need to develop
the country. efH aa

MINING ITEMS.

The Excelsior Mill, so we are in
formed, will start mp to-day on ore
from the Cosmopolitan mine.
The Leopard Mill, at Cornucopia,
has shut down, and will proba bly,
not resume operations again for two
or three weeks.
The Knickerbocker Mining Com
pany has increased its capital stock
to loo, 900 shafes, being four and a
half Of the new Tor one Of the old.
The new stock will be ready in a
few days. Jf
IA party, with 4. s. Gould, Super
intsndent OF the North Carson, at the
head, have located a mining claim
near Limestone Ravine, southwest
of Carson, and dubbed it the F" New
Comstock. So says the Carson
i" Tribune"
A pocket OF water of considerable g
size was cut in the G. and G. shat
two or three days ago. 1t kept the
big pump running at lively rate
for a time, but Wednesday afternoon
the rush of water was on the de-
crease. The pump worked admira-
bly, when put up to eight strokes per
minute.
A meeting of the stockholders OF
the Kossuth company will be held
on May Sd, to consider proposition
to divide the mine into two compa-
nies--one OF 1,40O feet, to be called
the Kossuth, and the other Of l 300
feet, to be otherwise named. Both
companies are to have los, 900 shares.
The trustees say it IS inexpedient to
work the whole mine through the
present shaft.

SOUTH END MINE.

We were shown yesterday on the
street a specimen Of ore from the
South End mine, taken from the in
cline on the ledge, at about twelve
feet depth, which was remarkably
rich considering the proximity to the
surface. The specimen contained
several pieces of native silver as
bright as trade dollar, besides be-
ing rich in sulphurets. An average
assay taken from the ledge showed
silver, Sl35.0S; gold, $2.51; total,
Sl37.59. Some Of the pieces would
have gone up into the thousands.
The shaft, which is 100 feet from the
incline, is now fifteen feet deep, and
will strike the ledge at about 100
feet, when, If the same rapid i'm
provement is continued, something
never before seen in this country
may be expected. The vein at the
head of the incline was about foot
wide; at present it is over three.
THE WILLIAM PENN NINE.
We are glad to see among the new
enterprises in our midst the starting
up of the old VIM. Penn mine. This
is one Of the oldest locations in this
district, and the wonder is that IL has
lain idle so long. This mine Was
actively worked years ago, and % e
from it milled SIS per ton. which at
that time left no margin for profits-

Deacon Marvin, Of Lyme.

One of the early settlers of Lyme was
Revnold Marvin He was a rich land
holder, a militia Captain and deacon OF
the church. He professed to be governed
by Divine communications. On one oc-
casion he announced that the Lord had di-
rected him to distribute his COWS among
the poor. A shiftless fellow who was
omitted in the distribution finally went to
the deacon and said he, too, had received
communication from the Lord, who had
sent him there for a COW. .r
"Of course, then, you must have a
cow" was the reply. "But what sort OF
a COW did the Lord say must give you
a new milch or farrow?"
a" A new milcn COW, SIR" a...#
Indeed! Your communication could
not have been from the Lord, for have
no new milch cow"
The baffied beggar departed
Another time the deacon opposed some
church measure, which was carried in
spite of him. He promptly refused to pay
his church taxes, and was sued, and his
saddle taken for the debt. He esteemed
himself deeply wfonged, and rode upon a

the cottage door of pretty Betty Lee. 1t
was an old Dutch door, cut in two IN the

and her dainty hands holding fast TO a
plate which she was wiping.

however, rallied instantly.

nheumasism sympaon - other Dis.

The alarming extent Of chronic rheuma-
tism in the country has led to persistent in
vestigation. II has lately been ascertained
that the disease is the result OF other COM
plieatcd diseases of the liver, Kidneys, pan.
creas, Blood, absorbents, etc. In other
words, that rheumatism Is . symptom. 1t
Is also found that, by the removal Of the
complicated disease, the rheumatism disap-
pears, as result which seems TO eubstantiate
the theory. We all know, TO our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment of this
disease has been, and we now hail with Joy
the dawn Of this new discovery. We all
know that the symptoms OF these diseases
are generally present In cases Of chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed the
disease TO be an effect.
To remove these diseases the surest remedy
can be found in the SHAKER EXTRACT or
RooTs or Curative SYRUP; IL appears TO
be working many cures. We refer to the
