NOTES AND QUERIES.

dav in the movement of the Carson Com
mune toward Chinatown. There was the
wild exacerhated condition OF the public
nulse which indicates an unhealthy excite
ment There came wild swooping rush to-
ward our Mongolians when the cars got in;
end there were rumors of shooting, but no
sounds of the discharge of firearms; and as
one sat. as the case might be, weaving the
Capitolean inspiration into the wool of rural
information, reliable source of news vented
itself of the fact that there had been return
of some prodigal sisters under the Chinese
Fugitive Slave Act-under whose inspiration
no Chinawoman has any rights that China
man is bound to respect. There is a bare
possibility, however, that we have been mis-
informed Still there remain the materials
for the romance of a Cantonesque Hero, and
a Ningpoo Leander with Truckee for their
familiar Hellespont AS to the hmltless
fabric which does its best to drape the form of
the cause of education, let it be locally en-
bodied in the following report of the
SIERRA SEMINARY.
Carson has great deal to boast OF in its
educational advantages Its public and private
schools are not surpassed in any town IN the
State The examination of the past week at
the Sierra Seminary were alike credltable to
both teachers and scholars. The closing
exercises on Friday were exceedingly interest
ing and evidenced the proficiency of the
training which the pupils receive at that
no EInO
efforts of the MISS Clapp and Babcock in
the cause of education, have given them an
enviable reputation as instructors of youths.
The following is the programme OF the exer-
cises on Friday afternoon:
Recitation, GA Farmer" Venice Rlnckle;
Defamation, 90 Hunting on a Vengeance,
James Fife; Essay, "Clothes Pins, Jennie
Crawford; Recitation, 81 uss snd the Spar
row." Lulu Kline; Recitation, "Two Little
Kittens" Alice George; Defamation, The
DAYS of 40" Johnnie Nevers; Recitation,
"Seven Times One," Ella Bender; Declama-
tirn. q brakes Address to the Flag, Henri
eta Nevers; Defamation, FAddress to
Bow" Hiram Sneade; Recitation, " The
Robin" Tina George; Recitation, "Weicome
Little Robin" Mamie Sweeney; Declama-
ton, ''The Jewess and her Son, Lewis
Hogma; Defamation, Paul Revler,s Ride,
Helen Crawford Defamation, " building
the Ship" John Harris; Dialogue, "1776
and 1877" Eta Nevers and Mary Bath.
All the pieces were delivered remarkably
we'll and with less embarrassment than is
usual in such performances. Johnnie Nevers
made quite hit with his ''Days of 40. His
father is member of the Pioneer Society
and Johnnie had appropriated for this occa-
sion one of the badges of the society. Nina
George, a remarkably bright little girl, deliv-
cred her piece, ''The Robin" in the cutest
manner imaginable The hero of the day,
however, was Johnnie Harris. He had his
piece, "1he Building Of the Ships, thorough
ly committed, and with wonderful adapt
alton for one so young, he seemed to have
taken to himself the spirit of the author in its
delivery . The Sheriff of Esmeralda came
in yesterday with a prisoner, Gordon by
name, who is to be landed in the Peniten
tiary for some ten years for some injudlclous
shooting of his own toward some gentleman
whose name has escaped us and whose body,
by good fortune escaped the intended fatality
of Mr.. Gordon's pistolling Also the Sheriff
brought in an insane man-with "a un-paln'
in his head-from Masons Valley. ...., Mr..
White, an old time mining engineer, is in
from Bodie, where he went to put together
the machinery for the Standard or Bullion
Mill He confirms the very encouraging re-
ports which have reached us from that
section and says the Standard Mill
will be in full blast by the 10th
inst. The Respondent month of July
is upon us-but the particulars which belong
the month which breeds the annual Fourth
is not for these brief deteriorated clrcum-
stantial Ms. and Qs.
