now supposed to reside at Belmont,
Nevada, aud or the back of the letter
are written these words: 'To the Post.
master-Please endeavor to advertise,
this letter being of importance from a
daughter, who seeks her lost father to
find."
Yesterday Bernard Rothschild called
ct our office and informed us that the
Joseph Wolfsohn above referred to
resided in Dayton, Lyon county, in
this state, where he kept a cigar
stand from 1853 to 1867. He came to
Dayton from Louisville, Ky. He died
either in Virginia City or San Fran
cisco in 1858. He had lost an eye, and
il living now would be 63 years of
age.
REoPESED.-The Court Exchange,
Hank knight proprietor, reopened last
night. During the time the place has
been closed it has undergone a thor
ough transformation, and, fresh from
the hands Of artisan and painter, pre-
senis a very eat and tasteful appear
ance. The change even affects Hank,
aud last night his benign cou%ntenance
was wreathed with a dozen extra
smiles. As hN friends fiocked about the
old place. Bony Ayres wields the

tor, and together they make a strong
team. What they can't mix up, ami

ssTRAMP, TRAMP, THE BoYs ARE MARCH
ING."-The tramp nuisance has developed
into alarming proportions in the West.
Bands OF over two hundred go together.
They board railway trains, refuse to pay
fares or get of, and in one case threatened
to tie the engineer and run the train them
selves If he refused to haul them. A few
days since they threw an express train on
the Alton and Chicago road off the track,
and they boarded Rockford train and
threatened violence If they were not car
ried. Three hundred took possession OF an
Iowa train, which was at their mercy while
they remained on board, and over 500 ar
rived at Davenport in twenty-four hours.
The authorities Of Rock Island called out
100 war veterans to protect the city from the
encroachment OF the tramps that were pour
ing into it from all quarters. The country
is full OF them. They go in bands, demand
work, which they do not want, and food,
and clothes, and money when it is refused !;
commit deprcdations on property, and In
some cases have resorted to acts of violence.
People are alarmed, and the authorities are
resorting to energetic measures to get rid OF
what threatens to be worse pest than the

GRADUATION OF FORTY CREEK GIRLS
The closing exercises of Muskogee 1nsti-
tute, under the superintendence OF Rev. j.
NJ. Perryman, were held OH Thursday, June
%, beneath large arbor erected in front OF
the school-room, which stands within a
beautiful grove.
Rev. Mr.. Perryman is 4 full-blood Creek
Indian, educated ut Coweta Mission, in the
Creek Nation, then under the care OF Rev.
r. NJ. Loughbridge. He is 4 regularly or
dained minister Of the Presbyterian Church
South. The buildings were erected and
school commenced by him three years since,
with an attendance Of forty girls each ses-
sion since that time. The Creek National
Council appropriated $4,000 for the support
of the forty pupils (about sixty dollars cact),
to feed and clothe them 4 year.
The neatness and taste displayed by the
young Indians in their dress was an en-
couraging feature to US. No gaudy attire,
no flimsy show, no extravaganza or slovenly
habit, but neat, well-ftting calico of various
styles and patterns, to break up the monot-
ony of sameness. They were well dressed.
In manner they were lady-lil1e, modest, and
unassuming, answering the questions with
confidence, the result OF knowledge OF the
subject and of their ability to answer.-In-
dian Journal, Muskogee, Indian Territory.

A Cool DRIvE-T0O MUCH RAIN.-As
predicted in the Dispatch, a gentleman who
lives in the county called at our office yes
terday and gave an account OF severe
storm which visited his section about three
miles northwest from the city, on Wednes-
day evening. Indeed, for the past three
DAYS there have been delightful rains in that
vicinity, and the roads are rendered actually
muddy. 1t wasilike being transferred sud-
denly from cool.to hot climate when he
passed over the rain region on his way to
town. These delightful showers have rem
dered the Richmond and Hanover turnpike
one OF the most charming drives about the
city. The pleasure-seeker follows the road
as far as Hunslett station, on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad five miles from Rich
mond, and after being refreshed, returns
home ready for comfortable nights rest.
Some OF the farmers in that neighborhood are
complaining about the rain, and say that II
they have any more they don't know what
they'll do. In this connection it may be
stated that it has been twenty-five days since
we have had a rain here that was more than
enough to lay the dust for few hours.
Between the Fredericksburg and the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroads, on the South
anna river, the storm is reported to have
been very severe. Five large tobacco barns
and stables were blown down on the farm
called Plaindealing, owned by Mr.. James
Thomas, Jr., of this city. In one OF the
stables there were five mules and three ne
groes. All escaped unhurt. About one
hundred dwarf pear-trees were also blown
down. Mr.. Thomas's loss is said to be very
heavy.

MASTER HUMpHREYs's CLocK.-" Master
Humphreys clock" which Dickens rem
dered famous, will begin to tell the time OF
day in Isaac II. Bailey's office, at No. II
Spruce street. Until 4 few weeks ago it
stood in the shop of its owner, the late Mr..
Humphreys, of Barnard Castle, county OF
Durham, Eng. 1t was there that Dickens
saw it, and from Mr.. Humphreys that he
got much of the material for "Nicholas
Nickleby." Mr.. Humphreys directed Dick
ems and his friend ''Phiz' to the school
which became the original of "Dotheboy's
Hail." The clock was recently purchased
by George Angus & Son, leather factors, OF
Newcastle and Liverpool, Eng, and was
sent by them as present to Mr.. Bailey. The
clock is solid structure, with dial two
feet in diameter. The hours are marked in
yellow Roman numerals on slate -colored
ground. A massive pendulum swings be-
meath, and heavy weights move the works.
The oaken case which is associated with the
clock does not accompany it, either because
it was too bulky for convenient traHsporta-
ton, or because it was an accessory intro
duced by the imagination of the author.

THE RICHMOND BoTs' VERMONT FRIENDS
AT HoME.-The Vermont battalion were the
camp neighbors Of the Richmond boys
during their stay in Philadelphia. Through
the courtesy of Lieutenant Childs, Of the
Estey Guard, we have received a copy Of the
Rutland Daily Herald, which gives pleas
ing account Of their safe arrival at Brattle-
boro' and their brilliant reception by the
people. This will prove gratifying to all
OF the Richmond boys who were fortunate
enough to visit the Centennial. The kind
treatment OF the Vermonters will never be
forgotten. When the Virginia battalion ar.
rived at their camp it was late at night, and
they had no lights in camp. AS they
marched up the road a number Of torch
lights appeared before them, and column
of Vermont boys wheeled in front Of them
and lighted them into camp. This was but
one of thousand acts OF courtesy extend
ed by them to their Virginia neighbors,
who will ever wish the Green Mountain
bows hearty "God speed" and the names
of Colonel Hastings, Captain Estey, and
Lieutenant ChiIds, and, in fact, Of the
whole battalion, will long be held in CRATE
full recollection.

MA1S-srREEr KIcKERs.-A gay and festive

MAIN-STREET KICKERs.-A gay and festive
roam attached to a rockaway, while stand
ing in front OF the Office Of Messrs. Goddin,
Warren & Co., yesterday evening took IL
into his head to waltz off, when he was
checked in his mad career by his owner,
who was standing near by. Provoked at so
unseemly nm interruption, he reversed his
motion and began backing. Just at this
juncture one of Babcock's ice-wagons was
passing, and the disappointed roam, back
ing into one of the horses attached to the
wagon, vented his chagrin upon that animal
by an animated extension Of his rear pedal
eXtremities. His close proximity to the arc
tic commodity, it seems, had not absorbed
all the fire of the ice-horse; for he replied in
a most lively manner, his blows taking more
effect, however, upon the vehicle than upon
the belligerent roam. He then dashed for
ward, running the ice-wagon into the rock
away, and tearing off one Of the wheels Of
the latter vehicle.

ARE THEY GUILTY ?-The condemned
negro boy Hillary Page, who is now in the
Henrico county Jail awaiting the execution
of his sentence, has repeatedly accused his
companions on Mr.. Rufin's farm-Wilson
Cary, Charles Robinson, and Phil. Epps-of
aiding him in the burning OF the houses
and barns of which he was convicted, and
has lately, in published letter, said that
they neuer k7,eao anything about the burning.
Deputy Sheriff William Walsh recently car
ried these two men and boy to see Hillary,
and while standing in Mr.. Walsh's presence
in the cell the condemned prisoner charged
all three with having been associated with
him in setting fire to the houses; that each
one had match; that the bargain between
them was that all should strike their matches
at the same time and set fire to the buiRd-
ings. This is written at the request Of Mr.
Walsh, whose attention has been called to
the letter which Page is said to have writ
ten.
Page received the news OF his respite with
great pleasure and in view of the efforts
now being made in his behalf he has hopes
that his neck will be spared the rope.
