THE County HospitaL.—We pubWe believe that under the regulations women are not admitted to the County Hospital. This is also wrong. The present building is kept wall filled, and if other classes are admitted it will be necessary to make additional accommodations. The County Hospi‘al should be opened to all who are sick and des. titute. The rules for the-admission of the County Physician has no authority so faras the admission of patients is order of the Supervisor for the District from which they come, and the Super~ visors have no right to make an order for the admission of others than the classes provided .for. Rouu oF Honor.—The following are the names of pupils in. Miss. Edwards’ schogl, who have been on the Roll of Honor for the term, the required per cent. being .95: Sallie Hill, Louis Greenwald, Ella Hamilton, Willie McCrandle; Ernest Welch, Neddie Pierce.

The people of Rough and Ready have made arrangements for a grand celebration on Monday, July §th. In the morning the procession will be formed at half past 10 o'clock in front of Walling’s Hotel, in which the schools,Good Templars, Odd Fellows and citizens will participate.

Pettit, Chaplain. The celebration will conclude with a party at Walling’s hotel. ‘ <i To TEACHERS —We remind all teachers whose. certificates are abotit to expire by limitation, desiro@s of obtaining one of a higher grade than they now hold, andall who are desirous of obtaining schools in this county, it is indispensably necessary for them to be at Nevada on Monday next, at the new school-house, aud present themselves for examination. To NEVADA CANDIDATES.—All cans didates for nominations are requested to call at the office of the Secretary of the County Central Committee and place their notices upon file, on or before Saturday, as required by tl regu. lations adopted by the County Union Central Committee. _— THanks.—We are indebted to the Pacific Uuion Express Company, G. W3 agents; Novada papers in advance of the distribution of the mails, done . His own people are “taking care of him, ‘the County Hospital? Don’t they pay by his own” “people, aot great need uf help from the ¢ou as far as food is concerned, besides giv= ing him Chinese drugs, but now they ina terrible condition. All that the . Chinaman-asked was a doctor and medical care, so the writer of these lines called on the. County Physician, Dr. Hunt, to have the Chinaman taken to the County Hospital, the only place where he could. be cared for, but was told that there is an order in force,passed by a former board of Supervisors, forbidding ,the admission to the hospital of Chinese patients. Dr.~diunt, however, visited the sick Chinaman and gave him medicine. Now, Mr. Editor, let me add. a few remarks: Is it so that in the Christian county of Nevada, foremost among all others in public charities, the Hospital is closed to a poor, sick Chinaman? Is this Christian philanthropy and worthy of our people? Great interest has been showed andmuch attention paid of late to. our Chinese population, their welfare and morals. A Chinese school has been started, and an experiment is being mado in our midst to have these heathens converted to the Saviour, and inculcate the doctrine of charity and fraternity. This is all very well, but would it not be better and more consistent to practice charity first and then preach it? to attend to the body before attending to the soul.saving the former. before trying to save the latter? This isa question to be decided by our Christian philanthropists. Then why not admit Chinamen to taxes for claiming that privilege? If our white sick, who are supported at the expense of Chinese as well of white tax payers, object to having Chinese patients among them, have the latter put in a separate room,but for charity's ‘sake, admit them to our public,common hospital. . I sheuld thiak, Mr. Editor,that something ought to be done, not only in the present case, but for subsequent ones, Let our Board of Supervisors see that such an inhuman and anti-Christian order be repealed, and that patients, of whatever race, color, nationality: or creed, be freely admitted to an institution they are all alike called to support with their money. ; In the meantime what shall be done with the almost dying Chinaman ? The Benevolent Society cannot do much in his cause ; but the best thing that can be done,. think, is to have him taken to the County Hospital. I hope, anyhow, that sémething will be done. by our humane and charitable citizens. CHARITY. TuHE ScHoo. ELecTion.—An election will be held at the Public School House in this city, to-morrow, to choose a School Trustee,and also to decide whetherthe people will tax themselves to pay the debt upon the building. John
W. Hinds is spoken of by the friends of the School as Trustee. The following good reasons for voting the tax are. offered by the Trustees: The amount of the present debt is in round numbers about $5,600. This debt is bearing interest at 1 1-4 per cént per month—which is $70 per month for interest. This amount paid for interest would nearly or quite pay for another teacher. Many thought that we were building too extensively while the crowded state of our Schools show the reverse of this to be true. How shall thedebt be paid? for paid it must be. We propose to pay it by a tax levied upon the property in this District; for in this way alone can we see fairness and an immediate prospect of really “Free Schools.” If not paid by a tax up-on property it must be by a tax upon! parents in f rm of rate bills for at least the three comiing years. “It paid at once by a tax upon the property of the District our Schools at once become in rex ality, asin name, what they sliould be —Fryee. We are convinced that the interest of both parents and pupils, will be advanced. by the tax, that the value of property maintained by. it, and we 1 trust that all the voters of the District Houag, on ‘Saturday, the 26th of June, .
