Another Victim.

The grim monster Death, says the Austin
Receiae, has again put forth his hand and
clasped in his cold embrace another vic
tim, this time little May, the daughter of
W. X. Logan, Justice of the Peace. She
was fast approaching ~womanhood, and was
a source of much comfort and a great help
to her parents. Death, indeed, is no
respecter of persons, the young, the old,
the middle aged, must submit when sum-
moned, and no amount of parleying can
change his purpose when he has singled out
a mark for his unerring dart. Little May
has gone to that place where there is 40
more sorrow, no signing, or care. 1t seems
hard, no doubt, TO the afflicted parents to
nave their dear one thus torn from them
with only a few days warning; but they
must endeavor to draw solace from the
promise that her angel doth behold the
face Of the Father in glory. May she rest
in peace.

AN IDEA.
The system Of Monthly Reports In
fhe Public Schools.

fhe Public
The School Trustees aud teachers Of our
schools have adopted the plans used in the
Normal University Of Illinois for reporting
pupils to parents once every month. The
teachers keep c~lass-books, in which each
and every recitation is recorded, perfect or
imperfect, marking upon a scale Of 10; 10
being set down opposite each pupils name
for u perfect recitation. From this deduc-
tons are made for failures at the end Of
each month. An average is then made
of each study, and reported upon a card
through the postofiice TO the parents.
BY this plan the deserving receive due
praise, and the sluggards, if any there be,
do not have their anne published and
sent all over our State, and instead of re-
ceiving this public ceiisure. which may
sometimes be eaused by misfortune. the
pupils work for the month is placed be-
fore the parent or guardian, and he can
confer with the pupil in respect to the
difficulty. And again, the parents, by ex-
aiming this report, may see in what stndy
their children are doing best. and offer
kind assistance and encouraging words to
them npon subjects which seem to them
very intricate, thus aiding teachers aud
pupils more than one could imagine. The
idea Of this card is to awaken an interest
in the parents for their children in their
school work. which ii will certainly do if
parents will only pay due attention to it.

Rich Strike Mt Reno.

Messrs. Freely, Luke and Fox, says the
Reno Gazette" have discovered a very
rich ledge Of gold and silver bearing quartz
about a mile and a quarter north of Reno.
The discovery was made by Mr.. Freely the
latter part Of last week. Assays have been
made and the results are very flattering,
although it cannot be definitely determined
till a pulp assay can be made. 1t is GER
tain, however, that it will go up in the
hundreds. They will have only sunk about
seven feet on tie ledge, and the rock grows
richer as they go down on it. If the rock
is as rich as the discoveries claim, it will
develop a second Comstock. In the same
connection the journal says: We learn
that W. J.. LOOMS is making an excellent
showing in his claim. The Esmeralda
mine, which a few months ago was but a
prospect, has developed into a tirst-class
mine. They have opened out a vein of ore
on the 100-foot level, IA feet wide, that will
mill SIS per ton. ON which a drift has been
run north, following the vein over 100
feet. Such a showing as this anywhere on
the Comstock would make the stock sell
readily at $500 a share.

Says the ''Silver State" of Monday; A
note from C. G. Biles informs us that be-
tween Q and 10 o'clock last Saturday morn
ing Gillilan's Hotel, Paradise, was discov-
cred to be on fire. The alarm was given,
but when the citizens reached the building
the flames were bursting through the cell
ing, which was very dry, and burned rap
idly. There was no delay in getting
water, but the flames were under such
Roadway that they could not be extin-
guished with the limited appliances at
hand. The building was burned to the
ground, but the greater part of the furni-
ture was saved. The loss is estimated at
about SO, 1000.

SILVER REEF GLEANYNGS.
From the Miner.j

Irrolu the Mlner.i
Last weeks shipment was the largest
ever made from this district. We think
there is no doubt about keeping it up to
that figure 1887 ,000) and increasing it con-
siderably within the next 90 days.
We are informed by assayers who have
tested the iron ore at Iron City, that it con-
tains no valuable percentage Of silver. The
idea of its assaying $40 to $50 in silver ap-
pears to nave obtained footing on account
of galena ore found in the district which
assays well in silver.
The following original notice was taken
from a monument, erected on a pile OF vol
canic rock, by a Silver Reef miner on his
late visit to the Iron county excitement
