PARIS ExPosITIoN.-The Superior Com
mission of the Paris Information Exposition
have decided to prolong the exhibition to
the Goth of November, in order to give an
opportunity for the sale of exhibits.

tors however, propose to commence pack
ing on November 1st., the day originally
designed for the close of the Exposition.

June 80, 1878, 30,6l0 persons entered the

The Nevada Conference of the NJ. E.
Church holds its annual session next week
in Truckee. 1t comprises all the ministers
and churches in the State Of Nevada, and
all east Of the Sierras in, California. BY
the rules OF the church, the appointments
of the clergy are made every year, and no
minister is permitted to remain longer
than three years in one place. Every con-
ference is divided into districts, and the ap-
pointments are made by the Bishop and
presiding elders Of the several districts.
The ministers are presumed to know moth
ing OF their appointments until the bust
ness Of the conference is ended, the con-
clusion Of the exercises being the reading
of the list Of churches with the names of
the pastors for the ensuing year. The SER
vices are all free to the public, and all are
cordially invited to attend. There will
doubtless be interesting debates and dis
courses from eminent divines. The min
listers will be quartered upon various fam
lilies, and will no doubt prove enjoy
able guests. The Methodist preacher
has long since won an enviable repu-
tation as a prince among good fellows
and in the matter of good companionship
is entirely aloof from the somber ideas Of
his profession. Our citizens will extend a
cordial welcome to the members of the
Nevada Conference. We cannot but re-
mark in this connection the spirit of pen
siye gloom that has oyerspread the chicken
community. They have been fed with
unusual bounty for some time, but still
are not happy" They seem to have a pre-
monition Of their mortality. We we're
impressed with the mournful countenance
of an old rooster in the rear of the office,
who has declined to crow of late, and
when interviewed as to the cause of this
clerical hostility to his race, he said in the
chicken tongue, the thought it was re-
venge because one Of his ancestors in the
older times crowed when Peter got a little
Off" Come on, brethren, but have pity
ON the chickens. We advise the old ROSTERS
who may witness any clerical Delinquent
cies in the next few days, for the good Of
the race to shut up.

IN TACT, everything is as strong as iron
bolts can make it. The pole is calculated
as a resting place for the bronchos to lie
down upon when they get tired, and we
are wiling to wager that the wagon is a
success for which it is intended.

giving the particulars of the Democratic
primaries at Vanderbilt. Notices had
been posted for a meeting at a certain hour

tual residents of the precinct met, and
elected John Herbert and II. Davis as del
egates to the Cornty Convention. Later
in the day four wagons loaded with Repub-
licans arrived from Eureka, when a second
election took place. The old settlers seem
to be greatly exasperated at what they con-
slider a gross outrage upon their political
rights. The Convention will have to de-
eide between the delegations.
