Bicycle Accident.

One Of e. 81. Hay &
Sons clerks, Warren Merriman. re-
siding in South Portland. met with quite
a serious accident yesterday morning
while coming from the ferry boat. The
young man was riding along CONNER
cial street, and was just about to turn
into Moulton street, when team cams
rapidly around the corner and collided
with the bioy The young man
was thrown off under the hcrse's feet
and the wheel was badly wrecked. The
riders clothes were torn and mis- arm
and leg badly scratched and bruised.
The owner Of the team drove off, but
concluded to settle the bill for damages,
as the accident was due to his own care
lessness in being on the wrong side of
the street and driving too rapidly.
Mr.. Casassa, the fruit dealer. collided
with one of the Postal Telegraph boys
yesterday noon on Portland Pier, and as
a result the boy will have to walk until
his wheel can be repaired Mr.. Casassa
was riding bicycle down Portland Pier,
when telegraph boy, mounted on a
wheel, came riding rapidly out of the
alley way at the raer of Ryan & Kelsey's
store. Neither could slow up in time to
avoid collision, and as result Mr..
Casassa's wheel struck the front wheel of
the other bicycle, breaking the wooden
rim into splinters and bending all the
spokes.
7 he boy was thrown off, but was not
injured. Neither could really be blamed
for the accident, but Mr.. Casaasa told
the boy to have his wheel repaired at
once and bring the bill to him. and he
would pay half the expense of the re-
pairs. He said that although he did not
consider himself to blame, it was one of
those accidents liable to occur at any
time. and he did not want the boy t be
the loser.

The Bottle Puzzle.
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
I noticed in paper that comes to me
weekly. an article taken from your COL
umns, relative TO a bottle puzzle made
and owned by Mr.. Almon Sawyer OF
Madison, Maine.
Judging from the article mentioned
the puzzle must be similar to one in the
possession OF Mr.. Alfred Harvey Of Aus
terIitz, Columbia Go. N. Y. on whose
mantel, when I visited him last, stood
q flask shaped bottle that would hold
considerably less than half pint and
inside of which WAS a miniature ak, saw
and saw buck. The AK lay on the bot
tom. and the saw hung on the buck pre-
cisely as a man would hang real one
when he went to dinner. These three
toys were within one sixteenth of an inch
as long as the bottle was wide the longest
way and in place Of a cork, like the Saw
yer puzzle, was q tight lifting plug
with CROSS piece below. Said cross piece
was long enough to prevent the plug
from turning around. The blade of the
little saw was steel, properly notched.
while dhs ax had the regulation shaped
head and helve, the former also of steel.
examined this bottle puzzle Of Mr.. Har
vey's very carefully, and ceniuded it
might be just possible Go fit the small
tools together as they We're on the inside
but how ever the plug aud cross piece
were placed in position beat me- l asked
Mr.. Fl if the bottle had not been blown
around the plug, but be said 'No" and
told NEW no made the whole thing as I
saw it. Ishave forgotten the mans name
however. but as Mr.. Havey is a substan-
tial farmer living at the address I men,
toned, no doubt the bottle stands in the
same place yet aud if ] can find the man
who made it alive, Mr.. Sawyer will have
claimant for those $50.
Respectfully yours,

Dam washed Out.

The pile and lumber dam put in
the Walker river last Fall by S. M.
Burbanks, of Smith Valley, at an
expense of something like $500,
went out with the recent high water.
A good joke is told on Burbanks in
relation to the matter. He had a
friend visiting him from Carson
Valley, who he was taking out to
see the dam and teach HIM how to
build one. The dam hoated down
the river while Sam and his friend
stood looking at it. He has con-
cluded that he does not know how
to build dam and is very quiet
about it.

Frank. Anyway.

The advertisements of A. Shil-
ling & Co., tea merchants of San
Francisco, are of a sort new to this
part of the country. In fact, we
do not remember ever to have seen
anywhere charges so specific and
so open.
They say that most of the Japan
tea sold in the United States is col
ored and weighted, and that the
coloring is usually poisonous.
If they are right we ought to be
glad to know it; if they are wrong,
they deserve to be shown up.

Fire tm smith valley.

The first of last week one of the
haying hands on the McVicar ranch
in Smith Valley, hung his coat
against a straw shed. A short time
after the coat and shed were noticed
to be in flames, and it took the hay
ing crew an hour or more to subdue
the flames and prevent serious
loss of property. Our correspond
ent does not state how much dam
age was done, but it was not great.
1t is supposed the fire originated
from lit pipe in the coat pocket.

Performance.
The Silver City Miners Union
Hall was taxed to its utmost cap
acity in accommodating the assem-
blage which gathered to witness the
commencement exercises of the pub
lie schools on Monday last, Many
came from Virginia City, Gold Hill,
and large delegation of those in
terested in educational matters
from Dayton were in attendance.
The good resulting from an exhi-
bition of the accomplishments of the
graduating class, and the subsequent
distribution of dipl omas was plainly
to be seen by the enthusiasm of
audience and actors alike, and great
credit is due the teachers for their
energy in bringing about so enjoy
able an exhibition. While the di-
ploma has no especial intrinsic val
ue, it marks an epoch in the educa-
tional life of the pupil which is
punctuated by the recollection of
scene enjoyable to all present. That
the public sympathizes with affairs
pertaining to education is witnessed
by the fact that Silver City took
holiday, and many willing hands
were employed in decorating the
hall with flowers and bunting.
The graduating class consisted of
Margaret Allen, James and William
Lawson and Leslie Taylor, all of
whom acquitted themselves in a
praiseworthy manner, while the
essay of Miss Margaret Allen, Hope
and Memory" was particularly
clever.
The recitation by Fern Dewey,
Correcting in Behalf of the School, !"
ELECTED much applause; the young
miss seeming quite at home before
an audience.
According to the Superintendent
of Public Instruction the audience
was deprived ofan intellectual treat
owing to his indisposition, caused
by the lamentations of pup which
walled the loss of maternal society.
However, Mr.. Cutting looked his
prettiest, which went a long way to-
wards assuaging the feelings of the
many pretty girls in attendance.
DR.. Stubs, Of the Nevada State
University, was i'll, and in his stead
appeared DIR. Miller, a colaborer in
the same institution, who accounted
for his presence by comparing him
self with a chunk of mud which
sutficed to stop up crevice
in the wall to keep the wind out
No apology was necessary, for no
sooner had the Doctor obtained a
fair footing upon the familiar
grounds of anatomy than he became
interesting and instructive. He
dilated upon the skin surface and
its sells, and bringing the subject
down to bear upon the present scene,
he compared the sells from the
socialistic point of view to the vari-
Gus calling withins our civilization,
and finally admonished the gradu-
ates to be either individuals or sells
we trust not the latter. The
musical portion of the program was
well RENDERED.
