BILE Affair.

bic Affair.
Last evening according to announce
ment, the Warren Assembly gave their
second grand annual reception in Prof.

with the expectations of the most
sanguine. The grand march took
place at half-past ten o'clock, led BY
Master OF Ceremonies, VIM. u. Baker
and wife, followed by Floor Manager,
James NJ. Dickinson and Miss sadi.
Johnson, and his assistants, Chas. A.

man, John Comegys with Miss Mollie
Comegys, Secretary Robert Hanna with
Miss LOttie Neville, Treasurer Charles
Evans with Miss Agnes Fulmels, fifty
one couples participating.
The gentleman and lady who led the
column deserve great credit, as the
march was one of the most beautiful
and intricate affairs ever witnessed
in Webster's, and its difficult evol utions
were performed in a manner that
showed it had been made the subject
OF careful study.
immediately after the march dancing
was commenced and the programme OF
the evening entered upon with zest
that plainly told that all present were
bent on having an evening of genuine
pleasure and enjoyment. Profs. Worth,
Richie and Ellenger rendered excellent
music.
Refreshments were served in abund-
ance at intervals during the evening,
and the merry makers continued the
festivities until sold Sol" peered DER
the eastern horizon and informed them
of the dawn Of another day. The man
agemsnt can congratulate themselves, as
the event was one of the most success
full financially and otherwise, ever given
in this city.

TIE NEW scmooLHousE.
Bonds Negotiated and the work 10
Proceed.

The last Legislature passed a bill author
izing the Trustees of Eureka School Dis
trict to negotiate a loan of $40, 900, to run s
years, for the purpose Of building q new
school-house. The bonds bear IL per cent.
per annum, and are payable in yearly in
stallments. For two months or more the
Trustees have been endeavoring to raise
the money to i%naugurate the work. The
San Francisco market was tried, but the
moneyed men Of the Bay City refused to
touch mountain securities. The bonds of
a school district merely were not viewed
with the same fayor as those OF a county.
Hence il was found impossible to place our
school bonds below, although perfectly
safe. Among local capitalists, the interest
rate was not esteemed sufficiently high.
One per cent. will not satisfy Eureka
heavy men, when they can get for their
money from one and a half to three on
gilt-edge securities. In the beginning IS
cents on the dollar was the best
offer the Trustees could get for our
bonds and they had almost abandoned the
lUtd OF bnl!ullp tui5 htdsoU. flUdiIY,
however, Mr.. II. Bishop, having more faith
in the permanency Of Eureka than the rest,
proffered to take them at ninety cents on
the dollar. His proposal was yesterday
accepted, and tie erection Of the much
needed building will be proceeded with at
once. The Trustees have 81 5000 in cash
at their command, which should be ample
to construct a building suitable to the
wants Of the district. Mr.. Bishop, we
think, has secured a favorable and safe in
vestment, though it cannot be said that he
receives too high a rate, as money rates
among the business community. The
bond, after paying the taxes on them, will
net him about one and a quarter per cent.
per month. The bonds are TO be paid off at
the rate Of $1,000 per annunl. This is a
small item, and will hardly be felt by the
taxpayers. A new school house was an
imperative necessity. Tho old building
was inadequate, aud the Trustees, in or
der to accommodate the increased number
Of pupils, had been compelled to lease ont-
side buildings. Parents and children aliae
will be delighted TO learn that we are to
have a respectable and comfortable build
ing Of ample size for all purposes. 1t is
the intention Of the Trustees, we believe, to
construct a two story brick building, with
four or six rooms. Il will be provided
with all Of the modern improvements, and
promises to be a credit to our growing
town. The old school house will probably
be removed 80 a vacant lot in the n%eighbor-
hood, so that school will 60 Oh az usual
pending the construction Of the new bnild-
ing. II Is now in order for mechanics and
contractors TO commence figuring, to see
how cheapiy they can complete the new
ediice.
