takes Now what makes people pronounce
gooseberrv goozebry? What has that rather
aggressive and ascidulous fruit done thus to
be called out of its real name The school
examinations are coming on, and we beg to
suggest the propriety of rigid scrutiny into
the prevalent pronunciation of this word
Also we beg to propose these following handy
lines as a corrective to the too common error:
The berry named with name of goose,
Should have pronunciation loose

Much Of its cuphony We lose.
And speaking of the District School exam

animation, for We have copied, verbatim, the
respected pedagogues statement of the mat

That ought to be definite enough for the most
hayward and foolish of wayfaring men, the
most obtuse Of women and the least impress

Judge Mckenney is in the city. He came
overland, emigrant fashion, i'll his own con-

water and thence in, by such gentle stages as
he chose, to Wadsworth and Reno. He says
the travelling is good-as it ought to be, if |

welcome to Carson. We confess that We like !
this return to the patriarchal fashions, this |
avoidance of the etieminacies and dem0raliza- |
tons of railway trayel, this return to the |
simpler habits of the earlier and purer days Of |
the Republic, as it were The MORNING AP- |
PEAL acknowledges with pleasure brief visit |
from Judge Mchenney, also from his brother
who will be pleased to take any mans life and
insure it for him on plan which We have no
doubt is very efficient and safe and adnira-

terday there seemed to be some unusual at
traction to the sessions Of the Grand Lodge
Possibly this was the election. We noticed
with pleasure those faithful representatives {
of the interests OF Washoe county, Hons )
Shoemaker and Everett on Carson street.
Also we note that like a successfully launched {
ship the Grand Lodge moves off Stern first. :

ING APPEAL has been pursuing a course 4
lately which has seemed to the unaccustomed B
