he Daily Transcript is ate i Saturday, October 21, 1876. Dutipline in the Public Schools. The following from the Sacramen-, to Bee, jast applies to ofr city at the present time, us well as if it was written expressly for the occasion, It says: ‘‘No one will dispaté the proposition that unless strict discipline is maintained in the public schools they will degenerate into instruments of evil instead of being made effective engines for promoting = general intelligence and uskfulness, ata even worse than worthless. in which case those parents who depend upon the schools for contrib_uting to the fature welfaré and present good of their children will be greatly disappointed. . ‘ But in order -to ensure thorough discipline in public schools, or even in any other schools, the teachers and the school authorities general .y must have the hearty. co-operation of parents —of all parents. Witbout this co-operation all exertions of the former will be utterly, useless, and the schools, whether public or pri‘vate, will become utterly worthiess— The parent who, by either word or. act, directly or indirectly. encourages insubordination to the schoul aatliorities in amy particular, thereby en_courages ‘insubordination and destroys necessary discipline in bis or her own household, Doubtless nitety-eight out of every hundred parents in the city really approve of and actually wish ta see maintained the discipline established for the schools of the city, buat the open animadversions thereon by the ~ other two, oceasionly thonghtlessly ~~“eider my rights as safe as in my own, encouraged by the inconsidérate acts of others, are actually working great injury.to the schools, and asa matter of‘course to the pupils therein and to sociéty generally. Parents as a whole—ag a unit—must, if they desire the welfare of their children, use their influence to have the ; mild yet strict and benificént discipline of _ the schools maintained. There is “no other course left for the community that would not be overrun with . hordes of uneducated barbarians, and all those interested might as weil understand this first as last. Every school officer from the Superintendent and the members of the Board of Education down, is responsible for the conduct and deportment of pupils, from the time they leave the control of their parents before school hours until their return therete after achool hours; therefore that parent is _ ina measure a public enemy who endeavors to incite juvenile rebellion against the acts of any school officer. Further reference to this. very important subject—with facts given —will'be made for the purpose of calling the attention of the whole community toa great public wrong being committed by a few of itsnum: ber whose children are enjoying the denefit. of the schools the parents are thoughtlessly and recklessly aiding to demoralize and greatly injure if not absolutely ruin. Carl Schurz on the mata 7 . ) Mance and Governor Huyes. At Akron, Ohio, October 7th, Carl Schurz said in bis speech: “This is “an utterly reckless charge. I con: “wersed with Gov. Hayes about the reports concerning this matter when I saw bim about thrée weeks ago. The whole thing is based-upon nothing ‘but a careless routiue answer by Governor Hayes’ Secretary to a complimentary letter. I think I have anawered similar letters in a similar way dozens of times in my life. To @harge Governor Hayes with Know _ Nothing sentiments is the greatest absurdity. that can be imagined. Everybody knowing him will! confirm what I say. Asa foreign born citizen who loves his.rights as dearly as anybody, I do not hesitate to deolare if there is any man in this eountry in whose hands I would conthat man is Ratherford B. Hayes. I shall therefore vote to make him President with a feeling of the most absolate ssfety."’ : Semaaiiainicn Coxrenex Inoersouy’s speech in a Western town the other night had a striking <¢ffect upon an original Democrat. His companion wasconverted into a Hayes man, but this: man clung to his faith and thus reaponed; “No sir; Tilden'’s the man. He'll redace our tax:s; an’ shure an’ dida't he reduce bis own?” : The Clab Meeting. 4 "There was a very fair and an ex. tremely appreciative audience at the Theatre, in this city, on Thursday evening, to listen to the speaking and the music of the @tass Valley Glze Club. ‘The meeting was ealled to order by J, M-, Walling. The nrinutes were read by A. H. Hanson, Assistant Secretary, after which the Grass Valley Glee Club’ sang one of their campaign songs. The “expectations of those present had been raised to a pretty high pitch by the very favorable notices which have heretofore been given the Club, bat we are assured by all who listened, that the half-had not been told them. ‘At the conciysion of the first song) there was a perfect hurricane of applause, and it was kept up until the Club again appeared upon the stage “aug Sang another, and the operation was~ repeated each time they appeared. Said am old gentleman to us yesterday: ‘That Grass Valley Glee Clab can make more epnverts than all the speakers in, the State.”’ “If their singing,” said he, ‘‘will not do it, the good luoks of the lady members-of th8 Club will, for a man woald be a brute to vote in opposition to thejr-wishes.’’ If the old man goes back on this when he reads it, we will pablich his ‘name. The speakers of the evening were Dr. H. Webster an@ A. Burrows,both of Grass Valley. Dr. Webster opened, and in a spech of an bour anda half convinced his audience that all the logical and eloquent speakers of the State are notin the employ of the State Central Committee, ‘His remarks were listenedyto with the most marked attention, and the applause he received was frequent and enthusiastic. He was followed by Mr. Burrows, who made a splendid speech. ‘The speaker possesses. the elements of a first class orator.. He is logical, Brilliant and convincing, and all who listened both’ to him and Dr. Webster, joined in saying thatit is not necessary to import speakers from abroad in order to have @ good stump speech delivered. The meeting of the Club was in every respect a success, and all went away with the conviction that.it was good to have been there. Local Brevities, Charley Kent has started in killing hogs, and will at once go to manufacturing hams, bacon and lard. A drove of one hundred hogs have Just arrived at his slaughter pens. They are the finest lot we have seen. Kent’s reputation as a builder of hams is so well established that. it ia useless for us to_repeat what every one says. Of one thing we feel certain. Any family that uses Kent’s hams, will find their hens will lay. double the usual number of eggs duxing ham season. : There was another smash-up on the Central Pacific: Railroad on Thursday morning last, near Pleasanton, It wasa collision of freight trains, and many cars were a complete wreck.” The cars were loaded with all kinds of freight, which was badly used up. Mrs. George W. Welch, who has been away on a visit for. several weeks, returned home on Thursday evening last, John 8, Gregory, of San Jose, arj rived here on Thursday evening last, to attend the funeral of Mrs. Davis, his sister, which took place yesterday afternoon, Charley Sherman, Superintendent of the Fryer Works, called on us yesday. He reports everything goin on lovely at the works, : Geo. Fletcher, Secretary aud Auditor of the N. C.N.G.R. R. Co., was in town yesterday, paying off bills for the company, He is always welcomed here. ‘ The Board of Trustees have passed an ordinance, requiring a new sidewalk to be built «near the: residence ofJonathan Clark. Parties interested will find the. ordinance 4.published in this morning's Tran-SCRIPT, Don’t fail to go and hear Hon. M. Estee to-night. 3 M. . The store on Commercial street now occupied by Sutton & Judge, and owned by Chas. McElvy, is of fered for rent. Sutton & Judge are going to move to the store lately occupied by J. H, Hamilton, as a res‘taurant. Governor Irwr, in his Election Proclamation, says pnotbiug of the election of a Controller, : eer . expected the shaft will tap the ledge at about 150 feet, aud it will require . width, and curries a-large proportion An inmate of the County Hospital, New England Gola Mining Company. On the 30th day of Angust last, the New England Gold Mining Company Was incorporated, to operate in Nevada County, Mr. Lockhart % Co. are the owners,, The ledge which the company are working is situated on the Grass Valley road aout a mile-from town. “It was worked as early as 1856, and the Tock at that time paid all the way irom thirty to one hundred and sizty dollars to’tive#on. An incline. was run on it to the. depth of 110 feet, aad only aspur of thé msin ledge was worked from which the rock was obtained. When water was reached ibe original owners had nat the wherewith to obtain machinery, and they have consequently held on to the property for twenty years, waitfor some way to turn up’ whereby they could go to work agnin and develop the mine, As nutbing favora-'. ble did Tarn up, Mr. Hobart, one of the old owners, this year sold out his claim 10 Lockbart & Co., who have, since the middle of last month, bid ab engine put in place, hoisting and pumping apparatus attached, a building erected over them, and have sunk a double perpendicular shaft, a_distance of about sixty-five feet. It is more to reach that The ledge is two feet in about a menth point. of gold bearing sulpburets and ga_ lena, We have no doubt Mr, ‘Lockbart will open Out a first-class mine. Ali who are familiar with the rock of that district, pronounce the. New Eugland to be of the most promising. character. Our best wishes ‘attead the-enterprise. i Narrow hucape. ‘ There was a narrow escape from loss of lite and a fire in this city on Toursday afternoon the, l¥th instant It appears Mrs. De War, who lives on Water gtreet, had occasion to be absent f.om home, and left her little child, about four years old, asleep in bed, After she had gone out the child got up and commenced playing with matches. One of them igniting set the bed clothes on fire, and the flames soon communicated with tbe wood work~ of the buikting’ while passing by, noticed the smoke coming outuf the house, and gave the alarm. Geo. M. Hughes who happened to be near by, ran to the house and arrived just in time to save the child's life, and with others extinguished the flames. A few minutes later the child would have been burned to death, and the building, and Campbell’s new house would undoubtedly have been destroyed. baa To Taxpayers. The Assessment roll for the year 1876, for the county of Nevada, has. been completed and will be placed in Jerry Payne’s hunds on Monday next for collection, Taxes become delinquent on the first Monday in.

We hope that every Republican, as well as Democrats, will attend this meeting. Turn out eyerybody. If the weather will permit the meeting will take place in front of the National Exchange. Hotel, if not, then at the Theatre, Tue putrid sore throat, which bus ‘been a@ terror to the people of Walker river for several months past, nd longer carries death and desolation into the homes of the good people of quiet little Antelope valley.

May the good Lord bereafter—for—their—kindtess; and may I prove myself worthy of thefr’ benevolence, by faithfully breaking unto them in return the bread of life. . « , G@. W, Seorr, Pastor Baptist Church. a Attempt at Burglary. Wednesday night an attempt was made to. break into either Peter Johnston’s hardware store, Charles Nathan’s dry goods store, or Vogleman’s boot and shoe store, All of. these front on Millstreet. The burglarstore ont the brick from around building and opened the doors, but instead of being let into a bopvanza of boots, dry goods and hardware, they found themselves in a hall-way which led out into Mill stre t, This lnull-way is the entrance to the Masonic and Odd Fellows’ Hall. — Those burglars must have felt a little mean; they got in their work well, but got into the wrong bole. Such enterprising fellows should procure a correct map ofthe town, and especially be posted on back doors.—@. V. Union. Reduction of Wages. We learn that the wages of miners, ditch men and of others employed on mining properties, at Dutch Flat, Little York and You Bet have been reduced. Miners’ wages in some of the compan.es there, are now pvt down to $2 50aday, and itis thought that all the companies will join in tbe reduction. ‘There is a good deal of excitement over the matter in the places named, and well there may be. We. iunderstand that Mr. Alvinza Hayward was the first to order a reduction of wages, but we hope to hear that he was not.—G. V. Union. The Mines. mentioned below, undéF date of the 14th, says: Emprre.—They have connected No, 6 south cross cut with the raise from No.7, and commenced to drift south and north. The ledge in the south drift is about 12 inches; the ledge inthe north is small; No. 5 north ledge is smell, ‘but good ore; No. 10. & 11 south are still in low grade ore. } Everthing guing along as usual. _ Evrexa.—The clean-up last week was 200 ounces of amalgam.

Union’ 5 ducmniegiedsoiecmauistens A New Parer Process.—A recent English patent for preparing paper stuff into a new material to be used as a substitute for wood, leather and other materials in a variety of uses, consists in forming the fibrous materials into paper in the usual way, with as little bleaching and pulping as possible, so as not to destroy the fiber. As the paper so mannfactured comes from the rollsit is taken with a material, either of silk or
wool, which has passed through a carding machine,’ but not -pulped, and the two materials are passed toi together by pressure into one sheet, Any vumber of layers that may be desired, according to the use which it is to be subsequently put,are then incorporated one on the other ure, Tur ‘ Jewish Times says that an awakeved interest is manifesting itself in England in the change of Jewish pnblic worship. ‘The rising generation can not be reconciled to obsolete traditions, superanuated customs, which belong entirely to the past. .They ‘will not attend a worship with which they can have no sympathy, in which prayers are recited which they either do not understand, or which they must condied or been sent away.

Gen. ButsrTow, in one of bis speeches in Indiana, summed up the whole issné in a single sentence: ‘‘Tbe nnited South expects to carry by the ballot what they lost by the builet.”’ [By Telegraph.] Mining Stocks.
