STATE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

From the last issue of the Enterprise we
learn, that, "whle no definite arrangements
have been made for holding a Teachers Con
vention" the State Teachers Institute has
been decided upon by the teachers of Storey
county AS has been stated in the APPEAL
the State Superintendent had made all his az
rangements, contracted for the accommodation
aud transportation of the teachers, and was
unable to carry out his plans. We are now
pleased to learn that the Storey county teach
ers concur with him by vote of % to 8 in
favor of State Institute at Carson. We are
informed that the Trustees of Virginia and
Gold Hill favor a vacation about the last of
March and we have no doubt the Institute
which is to be called about that time will be
success. The Capital of course is the proper
place 1--WE couldn't be expected to say other
wise) and we promise the Virginia, Gold Hill
and any other Teachers, Trustees, or educa-
tional people who may come, most cordial
and hearty reception.

Elko school house is one of the very best in
the State. The University continues in sue

dence of continued advancement. Professor
Sessions is doing himself credit and render
ing substantial aid to the pupils under his
charge. 1t is to be regretted that more do
not avail themselves of the superior advan-
tages offered at the University. In Hum
boldt county a change for the better has been
made. A new district has been formed at
Big Meadows, with school in successful OPP

has been accomplished. The districts are all
in excellent condition. At Tuscorara the new

DEATH OF ARTHUR J. HUTCHINSON.

On Sunday, the 23d instant, at about three
o'clock. Mr.. Arthur John Hutchinson, gen
tleman well known and highly esteemed IL
business circles throughout the State of Ne
vada, departed this life. The gentleman
was a native of Sheffield, Yorkshire county
England. and at the time of his decease was
81 years of age. He came to this State in
the infancy of its prosperity, as Secretary OF
the Mexican Mill at Empire, as early as 1868.
In 1865 business called him to the West In
dies. and on the island of Saint Lucien he was
married to Miss Fernand la Gaze, the daugh-
ter of the Attorney General of the island, a
lady of French birth, but educated in Eng
land. In the spring of 1866 Mr.. Hutchinson
returned to this State, and was appointed
business manager of the McCone Foundry at
Silver City The year following he was ap-
pointed Superintendent of the Mineral Hill
Silver Mining Company at Mineral Hill, Eu-
reka county. His knowledge of the intricacies
of mining soon thereafter secured him the APP
pointment of mining engineer to the st. Ar
maud Mining Company in Australia.
Although his prospects there were of fiatter
ing nature, still the peculiar attachment one
forms for the life and customs of the Pacific
Coast brought him back to Nevada in 1879,
and soon after his return he was appointed
business manager for the extensive interests
of Yerington, Haynie & Co, position he
occupied up to the moment of his death. Mr..
Hutchinson was the son of an English clergy
man. He had seen much of the world, and
was, in all respects, an accomplished gentle
man and possessed of degree of genialty
and pleasant characteristics which would in
sure him friends in any part of the world.
The death of Mr.. Hutchinson was not only
unexpected, but when the information of his
demise was made public, great regret was ex-
pressed by all who knew the gentleman, for
he was indeed highly esteemed. He leaves a
wife and son, the latter about thirteen years
of age The funeral will be conducted under
the auspices of the Knights Templar, at two

The Grasshopper Curse.

Nc GREGoR, Iowa, Feb. 28.-Care
full investigation shows that the grass
hoppers will infest portions Of the
Northwest, and that their ravages will,
10 all human probability, exceed those
of the past. The egg deposits cover au
area equal to two-thirds Of the territory
of Minnesota, and nearly half that of
Iowa. The crop prospects, therefore
are most gloomy. A box of earth, re-
Gently sent from Algopa, the county
seat of Kossuth county, Iowa, to Gen.
eral s. S. Merrill. General Manager OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad, at Milwaukee, was placed
under the influence Of heat, and soon
teemed with hatched cut grasshoppers
This demonstrates eonclusively that
the ground is full Of eg4s, and that the
advent OF spring Will bring into exist
ence increased numbers OF the pests.
Wheat is our staple, and It's failure
by reason OF. grasshoppers aud other
causes, heaps upon the usually prosper
Gus commonwealth of Iowa, a world of
woes. Farmers are, therefore, forced
to mortgage their lands and prospective
crops to raise mouey to purchase seed
wheat with. Depression is continually
augmented, and will grow worse until
relief comes from another harvest.
Enterprise is nowhere! Money lies
inactive in bank vaults, locked secure,
awaiting the magic touch Of some pur-
chasing power. Another crop is the
only hope left TO Iowa. IF grasshop-
pers prevail this year, then the gaunt
and hungry wolf will be at the door of
every husoandman, from the Father of
Waters to the Land of the Dako,as and
beyond.
As last resort, the stubble and
prairie grass are being carefully pre-
served until the grasshopper eggs hatch
out, when simultaneously over Iowa
and Minnesota the grand cremating
process will begin And burning may
arrest the curse that has already desc
lated many homes aud robbed whole
empire of the bread of life.

Mr.. Isaac CHoMEL, of SOL Fulton
street, Brooklyn, has invented a plan
by which he expects to propel ship
by her own rolling motion solely. thus
doing away with any other motive
power. Mr.. Chomel is the inventor of
the swinging berth, by means of which
sea-sckness may be obviated, and the
application of this principle inspired
him with the idea of utilizing it in the
production of power. He has been
working toward the development of
this idea for the past three years, and
has at last succeeded in perfecting a
working model, four feet seventeen
inches beam, and sixteen inches deep.
He,claims thatin his model he has reach
ed shape which will secure the max
imum of rolling with the minimum of
pitching motion, and from the rolling
motion he derives bis power. In the
model he has constructed, at either end
is compartment air and water-tight.
In the center of the hull is a water
tight compartment about eighteen
inches in length. In this is suspended
a movable platform, hung SO as to yield
either to the pitching or ths rolling
motion of the vessel. This gears at it's
bottom directly upon the propeller
shaft, so that there is the least possible
loss of pewer. AS this platform is in
clined TO an angle Of thirty degrees, the
propeller makes eight revolutions, con-
tinuing to revolve in the same direc-
ton when the platform is tilted the
other way.

Writing of Gov. Hayes he says: "H e
is large, robust and muscular; quick,
but not nervous of movement and
speech. His voice is deep, strong.
musical bass His eyes are large, blue,
and kindly Of expression. He wears
his sandy beard full and carefully
trimmed, and here and there in it you
notice gray hair, as you also do in his
full suit of closely-cut brown hair.
His form is full but not corpuleut; his
teeth are white as ivory, and his fea-
lures strong and we'll defoed. His life
has been SO pure and reproachless that
all ood men and women respect him.
He never used tobacco nor intoxicating
liquors. He never used profane Ian
guage He is candid, open, affable,
and has no secrets; nothing to explain,
nothing to refute His character is
above question, even after six bitter
political campaigns in Ohio"

throughout the Sacramento valley
aud the northern portion of the
State, also in Napa and Sono-

fattering for an abundant harvest with
the usual Spring rains, and fair crop
seems assured, even with slight rainfall
for the remainder of the season. In
the lower portion Of The San Joao uin
valley grain is in good condition exce pt
in the highlands, where it has suffe red
from lack of moisture. In the Santa

in fair condition, but rain is needed,
and the prospect il hardly encouraging.
