There is a school teacher in Gold Hill, Nevada, who, if the charges preferred against him are well-found~. 4, ought to be kicked by every de-. cert mau on the Pacific Coast. Prof. Bicinces: Bdberigtendent of Public Schools, and Prof. Bray, a teacher in +the Gold Hill public schools, bad an altercation at the entrance to the International Hotel Thursday morning. Passmore “hit Bray in the face for insulting bis daughter and other la dies at Lake Bigler, whereupon Bray knocked Passmore down with a cane, Bray will doubtless be come . pélléd to resign on account of the circumstences that led to the con: ' ich, red‘ from the re=< ding-«-deseription-of the parties:an-. flict, which, ns gathered'from the re-/ own in race Eta hielo Manat tS Bye 3, Sats port in the News, are that a short . noc, would destroy Shas (Mie sak [pores reer Ct time since some of the -members of certain families of the good people hoe. Among these were representatives of the Passmore family.— ‘Scon after Professor Bray follewed. In due time all parties foxad themselves enjoying the breezes and ‘beauties of Emerald Bay, where occurred the incident which eventuated’ in the-eellision. While the party-first--mentioned were atthe Bay-a number, of :young Indies wished to take a wade ‘in*the lim pid—waters,-anddoffiing . shoes and stockings near the old pier and -out of view from’the shore they proceedéd to the enjoyment of their sport, A voice of warning from the shore advised them a little later that there were ‘‘tookers-on in Vienna;’’ . Brey and a companion with arms akimbo gazing fully at them. __No one claims that at:this.time the Fexposure amounted to much, Stfit the young ladies and their friendein sist thavthe instinets of a gentleman™ ‘shodld have forced these lookers-on to have retired when cognizant of the fact that ladies were enjoying pri-yately even so little as a wade, especially since they had sought a spet secluded from view, except.to parties well out on the pier. But the lead and tront of the offense of Vaptaia Bray and compan ion did not end bere. The ladies not liking the intrasion of curious eyes even upon se small an enjoyment 48 a Wade, retired to a still willowsand beyond the -prejectioa of the shore, Here divesting themselves of more of their apparel which . was likely to become wet and soiled, sumed their sport free, as they 4 thought form all intrusive eyes, ; While thus disporting by themselves they were surprised and most, e }painfully shocked upon looking up to see Professor Bray and his con~ panion but. a little way off in a boat with eyes fixed intently upon them. They then beat a hasty retreat, took towels, dried their feet aud retired. BAD FOR, WORSE, In years gone by the congrega-. tion of a certain Grass Valley church for the first few months of-his pastorate had the reputation of delivering such brilliant aad logical discourses, as had never been heard there: before or since. When it leaked out, however, that the naughty. divine had been edifying his flock with sec. ond-band sermons, a large stock of which he had purchased from the estate of a once prominent Eastern clergyman, he received a notice to the etfect that a change of location ou his part would be desirable to all concerned. Assoon as practicable he departed, aesepting a_call tosge and take a charge in’ another éection, whére has been ever since. A few months ago one of his Grass Valley ex-members (Blivens, for short) moved to the same place, and for the ‘second-time sat under the plagiarist’s ceived a short time ago : “Dear ——:—HereI am, for the second time @.member of rursun —'schurch.

This is alf] wrong, and a stopshouid be put to the practice at once.

At the Gold Hill. mine work has. been commenced on the shaft to sink fora third-level.The north winze from the. second develin the Alaska mine has been put down over ninety feet, and the ‘third level is being opened from the ‘bottom of the winze. The ledge in this drift produces an excellent quality of ore. completed the workings of three tons of sulphurets from the New the Union Hill road,. whicly yielded $1,076, or $856 per ton, It is nov necessary to remark that these were very ich sulphorets. ee NEVADA vs. PLACER. The True Blue Base Ball Ulub, of Grass Valley, have issued a chal. lenge to any nine base ball players of Placer county to play a match gfame fora dead red ball and the championship of Nevada and Placer ‘counties. The Grass Valley boys play a very good game, but it seems to us that from. the flower of the county across the line theré ought to be gathered a club that can hold théitiown against them. —_——+._____-_ 5 op -CAMP MEETING._ A-Methodist camp meeting com menced near the MeCourtney road, ten:miles south of Grass Valley. yesterday.

Passmore “hit Bray in the face for insulting bis daughter and other la dies at Lake Bigler, whereupon Bray knocked Passmore down with a cane, Bray will doubtless be come . pélléd to resign on account of the circumstences that led to the con: ' ich, red‘ from the re=< ding-«-deseription-of the parties:an-. flict, which, ns gathered'from the re-/ own in race Eta hielo Manat tS Bye 3, Sats port in the News, are that a short . noc, would destroy Shas (Mie sak [pores reer Ct time since some of the -members of certain families of the good people hoe. Among these were representatives of the Passmore family.— ‘Scon after Professor Bray follewed. In due time all parties foxad themselves enjoying the breezes and ‘beauties of Emerald Bay, where occurred the incident which eventuated’ in the-eellision. While the party-first--mentioned were atthe Bay-a number, of :young Indies wished to take a wade ‘in*the lim pid—waters,-anddoffiing . shoes and stockings near the old pier and -out of view from’the shore they proceedéd to the enjoyment of their sport, A voice of warning from the shore advised them a little later that there were ‘‘tookers-on in Vienna;’’ . Brey and a companion with arms akimbo gazing fully at them. __No one claims that at:this.time the Fexposure amounted to much, Stfit the young ladies and their friendein sist thavthe instinets of a gentleman™ ‘shodld have forced these lookers-on to have retired when cognizant of the fact that ladies were enjoying pri-yately even so little as a wade, especially since they had sought a spet secluded from view, except.to parties well out on the pier. But the lead and tront of the offense of Vaptaia Bray and compan ion did not end bere. The ladies not liking the intrasion of curious eyes even upon se small an enjoyment 48 a Wade, retired to a still willowsand beyond the -prejectioa of the shore, Here divesting themselves of more of their apparel which . was likely to become wet and soiled, sumed their sport free, as they 4 thought form all intrusive eyes, ; While thus disporting by themselves they were surprised and most, e }painfully shocked upon looking up to see Professor Bray and his con~ panion but. a little way off in a boat with eyes fixed intently upon them. They then beat a hasty retreat, took towels, dried their feet aud retired. BAD FOR, WORSE, In years gone by the congrega-. tion of a certain Grass Valley church for the first few months of-his pastorate had the reputation of delivering such brilliant aad logical discourses, as had never been heard there: before or since. When it leaked out, however, that the naughty. divine had been edifying his flock with sec. ond-band sermons, a large stock of which he had purchased from the estate of a once prominent Eastern clergyman, he received a notice to the etfect that a change of location ou his part would be desirable to all concerned. Assoon as practicable he departed, aesepting a_call tosge and take a charge in’ another éection, whére has been ever since. A few months ago one of his Grass Valley ex-members (Blivens, for short) moved to the same place, and for the ‘second-time sat under the plagiarist’s ceived a short time ago : “Dear ——:—HereI am, for the second time @.member of rursun —'schurch.

At the Gold Hill. mine work has. been commenced on the shaft to sink fora third-level.The north winze from the. second develin the Alaska mine has been put down over ninety feet, and the ‘third level is being opened from the ‘bottom of the winze. The ledge in this drift produces an excellent quality of ore. completed the workings of three tons of sulphurets from the New the Union Hill road,. whicly yielded $1,076, or $856 per ton, It is nov necessary to remark that these were very ich sulphorets. ee NEVADA vs. PLACER. The True Blue Base Ball Ulub, of Grass Valley, have issued a chal. lenge to any nine base ball players of Placer county to play a match gfame fora dead red ball and the championship of Nevada and Placer ‘counties. The Grass Valley boys play a very good game, but it seems to us that from. the flower of the county across the line theré ought to be gathered a club that can hold théitiown against them. —_——+._____-_ 5 op -CAMP MEETING._ A-Methodist camp meeting com menced near the MeCourtney road, ten:miles south of Grass Valley. yesterday.
