This School, Judge Waterman
teacher, closed four months term last
Friday. Although the day was stormy,
there was, we are informed, very full
attendance Of scholars, with their faith
ers and mothers. Although but few
days were had for learning pieces, the
scholars acquitted themselves with hon.
or in their declarations. "The Ravens"
by Arthur Ceilings Jr., was reuarka-
bly, well rendered. After sometime
spent in defamation the teacher called
out his class of little folks, II in num-
Der, most of whom commenced the term
in their A B Cs. They were able to
spell correctly in two sylables, and re-
peat the time, money, weight and meas
ure tables with such vim and precision
as TO highly please the parents present.
Premiums in spelling were awarded
TO Miss Mary Bird in the first class, and
to Miss Elite Zimmerman of the second
class. After distributing to the school,
some very neat Rewards of Merit cards,
the teacher delivered very appropriate
address, exhorting his pupils to the
cultivation of manly aud womanly char
acter, and bidding them a friendly good
bye.
Judge Waterman has secured the
following endorsement, from the people
of the district.

SCHOOL DIRECTCRs.-The atten-
ton of School Directors is called to a
provision Of Section 8 of the 4th chap
ter of the Territorial School Law, which
reads IS follows: cit shall be the duty
of the directors to visit the school or
schools of their respective districts
at least twice each term" We
fear there are many directors in this
county who. do not remember this law.
The schools need all the aid and en-
enlargement they can get, and those
persons in the district, upon whom the
law imposes duty, should not forget
what they have to do.

There is in Paris a vast establish
ment-the most extensive of its kind
in the world-where the imitation Of
pearls, diamonds, and precious stones
generally, is carried on with all the
skill which modern ingenuity renders
possible. The sand, which the whole
art depends upon, is found in the for
ests of Fountalnebleau. False pearls
are lined with wax and scales of the
roach and dace, which have to be
stripped from the fish while living, in
order to retain the peculiar hue. The
setting is always of real gold, and
the fashion of the newest kind.

The picnic season, the season when

two former are the easiest of access,
but the latter, Astounding with rapids

deep pools, is royal place for a days

NAIL ROBBERS.

The opportunities for dishonest clerks
to rob the mails are numerous, but the
business Is rather risky. The detec-
tive system has been so far reduced TO
science hat escape is almost impos-
sible, particularly when the offence is
repeated a number of times. The Su-
p~erintendent of special agents for the
Postoffice Department, reports 543 ar
rests for this crime, being l04 greater
than in the preceding year, though
there had been considerable reduction
in the detective force. On another
point, he says the whole number of
complaints of lost registered letters
during the year was 2,2S9, with a re-
ported aggregate value of S54,4l0, OF
which ia letters were recovered, and
2l6, valued at go, $40, accounted for 10y
the recovery of their contents from per
sons who had stolen them, or through
whose ca-elessness they were lost. The
percentage of actual losses. compared
with the total number of letters regis
tered during the year, viz, ASS, III
is about l 59th OF l per cent, or II in
every 5000 registered letters sent
through the mail. The losses, how
ever, were nos all from pilfering, OF
stage robberies, which have a place in
the enumeration. Fires, railroad and
steamboat accidents are credited with
an important share.

A LETTER from Fort Benton, con-
corning the surrendered Nez Perces,
says: Many OF the Indians have
money, one old aristocrat having
3 5000 in gold. The old chap says that
he lost it in the battle at Big Hole, and
being near-sighted, could not find it.
Its loss so worried him that Joseph,
after a few days, sen the old man with
two young men back, and after few
. days search, found it. There are
many incidents of this affair that,
when written, will sound more like
fiction than fact.

LETTER FROM PETERsBC RIG.
VIRGINIA.

We extract the following from a let
ter received by a gentleman in Eureka
from a lady friend in Petersburg, Va.
The sentiments of the writer probably
portray the feelings of the people OF
the South:
I should like so much TO sit down by
your side and give you an account OF
my recent trip to Richmond, where l
passed a week most iestively. The
agricultural fair began last Tuesday
there, and lasted four days. as usual.

ing friends in the immediate locality of

sherman, Thomas, ETC., and am en-
tirely pleased with the graceful de-
mesnor Of the party, and with the
Presidents of accepting the
grand ovation which was rendered
him. / went to his reception at the
Governors mansion, and had the
honor of a hand shake, and after that

and buried between Oregon and Min

He said the campaign had been con-
Quoted in precise conformity with Gen
eral Sherman's orders and with Gen.
eral McDowell's generous support and
more specific directions. Finally, the
General gave his " views upon the
Indian question and u system of
dealing with them. His estimate of
our Indian policy is not flattering. He
sees and appreciates the injustice OF
considering the Indian tribes as indie
pendent nations, making treaties with
them, placing them on reservations,
and when the white people press upon
them from the outside, and begin to
clamor for the Indians homes, n
Government allows the Indians to be
driven to resistance, or driven from
their lands into revolt and warfare,
and then we make war upon and sub
due them. He thinks we should cease
from making treaties with them, but

tons.
