Unless some measures are devised
to raise a fund for the purpose of pro-
longing the term, our public school,
which has been in session but two
months, will be closed Monday. This
should not be permitted, and II those
who should take an interest in this
matter will but exert themselves n lit
tie n sufficient amount can be raised
TO keep the school running until the
December appropriations come in.
There is scarcely a mar in the camp
who would not willingly give n dollar
toward so worthy an object. All that
is needed is for some n to take hold
of tho matter. Who will do it ?

Tho Exhibition.

Seldom have we attended an enter
tainment OF any kind at which we
were so argeably surprised and bet
ter entertained than at the exhibition
given by the school children Thurs
day evening. There was present a
fair house, and the programme, which
was selected in good taste, was ear
ried through in a smooth and grace
full manner. The entertainment con
sisted of songs, recitations, dialogues
and comedys. A full review of the
programme is too lengthy for our
columns, so that we can only speak
of it as O whole. Some of the larger
scholars displayed rare stage talent,
and surprised the audience by the
ease and grace with which they acted
their several parts, while in the sing
ing the little misses elicted the hearty
and prolonged applause Of the audi
ence. Miss Lille O'Donnell is poss-
essed of fine Evolutionary powers, es-
pecially where delicate sentiment and
pathos are the theme. Misses Carrie
Pierce and Annie Steinstrum were
"perfectly splendid" in the bur-
lesque and comic parts, while Mas
ters Blethen, Stockle and Sisson in
imitably portrayed the Irish, French
and Yankee characters. As a whole
the exhibition vas a success, and Mr..
and Mrs. Benedict have just aus to
feel proud of the excellent showing
made by their pupils. The teachers
also deserve the thanks OF both parents
and scholars for their efforts in pre-
pairing the pupils to appear so credit
ably before the public. We hope TO
see the same programme repeated on
a future occasion.

Horse Talk.

Competent judges assert that Tom
Shorts Euchre Is the fastest horse in
Nevada, and Cherry Checkers have
money to bet on it.
Cleveland's race horse for colt fell
early in the fight. When his trainer
saw Euchre he started for home, early
Saturday morning.
Pete Weber's Daisy is a ssthing of
beauty to look at, but all h-hades
can't keep her on the track.
Cherry Creek favorite, Fanny, dick
Frank's), is what got away with the
Eureka boys coin. 1t was a close
stretch, however, but an inch is as
good as a mile.
Flora, Rutherford's FLY, made half
a mile in So seconds on the track
Tuesday.
Mike Walsh's Cheyenne was the
favorite with all outsiders in the bali
mile and repeat race Monday. Con-
siderable money was lost on him.
Mike swears he'll get even yet.
Maybe o
Some unregenerate sscuss" tele-
graphs the. Sentinel that we won up
in the thousands on Fanny in the
race Monday. It is not true. We
bet on the other horse and get left.
Tim made q big winning but we are
afraid it will turn his head so that
commission OF lunacy will have to
sit on him.
Capt Drake has accepted Tom
Shorts challenge to run Selkirk
against Euchre, half-mile and repeat.
The wager, we are informed, is 81 900
a side. The race will come off on the
Cherry Creek course on November
9th. A sufficient forfeit has been
deposited to make the race a sure
thing.
A Eureka man, who brought over
two flyers TO the races, was seen We'd
nesday morning pulling his buggy
out in the direction OF Egan Canon.
He hal stakei and lost money, horses
and all. A couple of old friends here
took compassion on him, got his team
out Of soak, and with a few words of
advice to bring a bigger sack next
time he came, sem him on his way
rejoicing.

for Life.

A select party OF friends assembled
at the residence OF Mr. John Wearne
Monday evening to witness the mar
rage of Mr.. Alexader Mcdonald and
Miss Florence Madison. The room
in which the ceremony took place
was t~astefully decorated, and from
the ceiling hung the traditional horse
shoe wrough in eyergreens, with the
monogram "a. F." worked thereon.
In a hanging bough hung the we'd
ding bell, which summoned the par
ties from an adjoining room. All the
arrangements were so nicely in accord
with the interesting affair about To
take place as to impress on all pres
ent that the hostess, Mrs. Wearne,
was no novice in the art of getting
such things up in good style. The
ceremony was performed by Bishop
Whitaker in his usual impressive
manner, and the couple We're attend
ed by Mr.. A. De Mcdonald as
groomsman, and Miss Carrie Pierce as
bridesmaid. In flowing goblets the
health, happiness and future welfare
of Mr.. and Mrs. MDonald we're drank
again and again. The bride has but
a few days since arrived from Prince
Edwards Island, while Mac Is a long
resident OF our town-an industrious
and highly esteemed young man.
We tender the happy couple IL con-
g%ratulations, and wish them a safe
and smooth journey on the ocean of
matrimony. May they glide down
the stream with neither too full sail
or a lack OF sufficient ballast-avoid-
ing the shoals of contention, and at
last anchor in the harbor of safety.

J. II. Roberts, Superintendent OF
the Exchange Company, who has
been in New York for some time, has
returned TO Cherry Greek. Mr.. Rob-
erts' object IN going East was to make
arrangements with his company for
the erection Of additional red uction
works for the ores, and a more extern
sive working of their mine, which he
has succeeded in doing. lie has COM
menced TO make the contemplated
improvements, which, when COM
pleted, will greatly increase their bull
lion production. They will also open
up their large ore body below the wa
ter level, which has heretofore only
been worked to that point, though
explored for 600 feet in length. The
stockholders of this property have
every reason tn feel that they have a
permanent paying property, and
prospects that would, il on the Com
stock lole, send the stock mp 10 500
per share. The railroad survey made
aithin a hundred yards of our town
limits, and the heavy grading now
being done within four miles of US,
and on other points on the line, are
the best evidence of the roads speedy
completion. When open to traffic it
ii will give US direct communication
East aud West, and will of course
greatly reduce the cost OF mining in
our district.

A SURGICAL MACHINE.

DIR. w. G. A. Bonwill, of Philadelphia,
presented to st. Bartholomew's Hospital,
London, a surgical machine. The engine
consists of an iron standard carrying an
arrangement of multiplying wheel. gear,
which by means of an endless cord passing
over pulleys transmits rapid rotary motion
to small drills or fine circular saws. These
instruments are attached to the end of
series Of rods connected by universal joints,
forming elbows, which permit the operator
to move the cutting instrument in any di.
rectiou he pleases wal, it is revolving at a
very high speed. With the drill 1t was
shown that in cases where it is desired to
hold the parts of fractured bone rigidly
together in certain position, holes cen be
drilled and pins inserted which, being
held in steel frame, keep the parts ex-
actly in position. With tie circular saw
it was demonstrated that pieces of any re-
quired shape can easily be cut off and re-
moved from bone, or bone can be cut
through in a few seconds. For amputa.
tions a small straight saw can be used it
is simply fitted into the holder, and as it is
attached to small eccentric worked from
the main gearing, it has very rapid recip-
rocating action impaired to it when the
gearing is put in motion, which is done by
means of a small hand-wheel. The COM
paratively slow movement of the hand of
the operator is here replaced by the incon-
ceivably rapid motion of the mechanical
saw. By this means not only is the time
occupied in the operation greatly short
ened, but the operation itself is much more
neatly performed, owing to the smallness of
the cutting instrument and the high speed
at which it is moved.

Oh, the clover in bloom! love it.
In the high, wet grass went the path to hide,
And the low, wet leaves hung over,
But i could not pass on either side,
For found myself, when yainiy tried,
In the arms of my steadfast lover
And he held me there and he raised my head,
While he Closed the path before me;
And he looked down in my eyes and said

I am sure that he knew, when he held me fast,
That must be all unwilling;
For tried to CO. and l would have passed,
AS the night was come with its dews at last,
The sky with its stars was filling.
But he ciasped me close when would have fed,
And he bade me hear his story.
And his soul came out from his lips and said
How the stars crept out from the white moon led,

That no being shall ever discover

From the eager lips OF my lover.
And the moon and the stars that looked over
