state Fair Posters.

| The State Fair posters are up and
attract considerable attention.
They are the neatest posters ever
tackled up IN Nevada, and were
autographed in Cincinnati.
The largest represents four fly
ing horses punched at the finish.
They are in colors and drawn with
great spirit and effect. You can
almost hear the cheers of the Reno
hackers of Winters flyer as the
horses clear the wire. The other
poster is beauty. 1t is headed
by the immense head of bull, but
Of what breed no one knows. The
artist must have received orders to
give all breeds show. 1t has
Durham horns. Holstein forehead,
Devon cheeks and a Jersey nose.
This sort of a bulls head ought to
harmonic all tastes among the
cattle breeders. The lower picture,
printed in all the coiors Of the rain
bow, shows a crowd Of horny listed
agriculturists surrounding q cattle
exhibit and discussing the points
of the animal. Reno with its beau
tiful landscapes shows up in the
distance. The posters alone are
worth double the price of admis-
sion.

STOOD EfY THE OLD MAN
How KaRcher's Son Defended
His Fathers Memory.

| How a KaEcherS Son DPfendet
His Fathers Memory.
The other day, IN Carson Valley
old Jeremiah johnson, the wei
known rancher, died and was bur
led in the usual form.
| When the corpse was laid out il
| the red school house near Sheridan
a travelling preacher was called up
on to preside over the ceremonies
The six sons Of the old man were
there in solemn row.
The preacher, taking his place
on the platform, opened up after
the regular formula that has been
so long IN vogue.
"My friends, jeremiah Johnson
was in his full health and ripened
manhood when he was cut down by
the scythe of the destroyer"
just here Tommy johnson, a
boy of sixteen, rose up with:
Hold on, Mr.. Preacher, he died
OF liver complaint. 1t was old
Jake Boliver up on Wolf Greek
that got cut with \ mowin ma
chine"
Sit down, Tom, and cork up,
was the remark of a big brother
who collared the boy and pumped
him down on his seat
He was man of a thousand on
earth, but he could not stay" con-
tinued the preacher.
Couldn't stay shouted the
boy again, Pity about him. Per-
haps you don't think he was Il
slayer when he had the fight with
Dan Powers up the canyon. He
stayed till he chawed Dams ear
Hold your jaw, you crazy
lunatic,' whispered one of the
brothers, hoarsely, as he jerked the
boy back into his seat, UW you
shut up"
The preacher paused, looked
across the corpse to the spot re-
proachfully, and continued:
Jeremiah johnson is no more"
What's that?' shouted the boy.
Say Jake, Bill, Charley, all hands.
do you hear that. Worse and more
Of it. He saws dad was no mower.
He could cut more acres of grass in
4 day than any other man IN Doug
ass
viii YOU nerer drop on your
self Kissed Dig brother as he |
cached for him again.
'DO you Spose I'm goin' to sit |
lere and hear him say things about |
he old man that he darent say to
lis face If he was alive? Are you
elbows ashamed of dad cause he
lied?'
Four hands got the impulsive
outh by the collar and yanked
i'm down good and hard.
Next thing you'll hear is that
e couldn't run Il one horse hay
axe"
Then the brothers grabbed the
oy and laying on the floor sat on
nd held him until the preacher
nished his talk. The congrega-
on enjoyed the scene immensely
nd admired the youth who would
OF see his father talked about.

g. A. II. MEETING.

Wednesday evening was one of more
than ordinary interest, and was enjoyed
by all who attended. The post commit
tee on literary entertainment have con-
Guided to have the war discussed i'm
chronological order instead of taking il by
topics unchronOlogicaliy as heretofore,
and last Wednesdays meeting was the
first of the series under the new plan.
Gen. f. M. Pope reviewed the events
that TRANSFERRED between the election of
Abraham Lincoln i'm 1860 to the fall OF
Fort Sumpter IN 1861, and the comrades
present INDUCED in voluntary speeches
on the same period after he concluded.
Besides the discussion of these events,
a guartette consisting of Messrs. Schroe-
der and Bromley, and Miss Carrie Ogle
and Mrs. Bromley, rendered some very
fine music, and John Williams, Esq,
read beautiful poem, entitled "Antie.
tam" Mr.. Schroeder sang one of his
excellent solos, and the ladies rendered
duet, which was received with hearty
applause.
The next of these meetings will be
held on the third Wednesday in May,
and the discussion will be confined to the
events of the month following the cap
ture of Fort Sumpter, and the public are
cordially invited to be present.

THE viols of Democratic vindictiye-
ness, born of hope deferred, and love of
party spoils unrequited, have been I'M
corked in Louisville, Kentucky, because
the president has re-appointed a wild
owed Republican pOstmistress, who has
held the position for many years. The
hungry Louisvillians, that is certain
few of them, have been whetting their
morbid appetites on the stone of ex-
pectation ever since the 4th of March
1885, and when the lady's term expired
and her disappointment was sent to the
senate, these could not contain their
rancor, and now howl at the admins
tration in mutual chorus, with more
vim than choice of utterance. 1t seems
that the gallants ofa state 80 noted for
feminine beauty and masculine chivalry
should not behave 30 unseemingly, be-
cause one poor Republican widow has
been recognized by bachelor Demo
cratic president.

THEY WANT ARBITRATION

We are in receipt of the following Of
fetal communication which gives defin.
iteness to the wishes of the populace Of
at least one township, with reference t.
Il settlement of the vexed court house
question.
DANvILLE, APRIL 18th, 1856.
Editor Free Press:
At a meeting of the citizens of this
town held mt the school house i'm dis
trict l39, il was resolved to be the sense
of the meeting that the court house
question should be submitted TO some
Judge of the courts for arbitration, and
all parties abide the decision of said
court, and that we will be with other
towns to uphold our rights.
The action of the citizens of Danville
certainly manifests very commendablt
spirit on their part, showing that they
prefer settlement of this aggravatine
issue by moderate and peaceful meas
ures, in preference to a fight, which
could not result otherwise than detri
mental to all parties concerned. If the
farming community Mt large would
manifest similar disposition and could
confer together with reference thereto
is likely the commissioners would
acquiesce in such a course.

At the recent teacher exam

At the recent teacher examina-
tons there were 24l applicants for GER
tificates. OF these l22 received second
grade certificates and 45 third grade.
Two received first grade and 63 failed.
A large number were examined with a
view to teaching in other counties, not
expecting to teach in this county. Many
such received certificates. The average
grade i'm arithmetic stood considerably
higher than it has ut any time since
have had this work upon me. Let me,
however, suggest to the teachers that
we ought to improve our reading. This,
ny little painstaking, we can do. TO
become good clear and expressive
reader is an object worthy of accom-
plishment. Let this object be sought by
all our teachers in the reading exercise
i'm our schools. EDWIN ROGERS,

TIE promptness with which the cities
and towns of the northwest responded
to the call for help from the storm
stricken region in this state, and the
bountifulness of the contributions, are
exponental of one of the most gracious
features of an intelligent, civilized COM
mOnwealth, i e. the disposition to for.
get self, and pour out the fullness OF
their store to their fellow men i'm times
of such deplorable distress. 1t makes
one feel that we are not 30 far from the
zenith of that ideal human perfectness
that the promoters of human events
aim at, as cursory view of matters
and things would lead us to believe, and
must convince all that we mOrtals are
constantly marching on to Immortality.
