At any rate; that was the idea intended to be conveyed by the writer, although it seéms the language was too ambiguous for some of his brother clippers to get at the real meaning of his seritences.— The real truth is that Nevada county school teachers are paid’ from $40 to $125 per month, and those prices have maintained for a long time.— With the exception of some of the departments in the Washington school, inthis city, there has been no difficulty in obtaining, teachers in On the other hand, the supply exceeds the demand. —~<>> --—_—_—. AN ELECTION INCIDENT. During the election for Supervisor at Grass Valley, on Wednesday, the Union ‘says, “a difficulty occurred between Messrs, Byrne and Daley rival candidates, which resulted in Daley receiving a knock down; ‘The cause of the difficulty was that Daley charged Byrne with ‘working Chinese on the Nevada road, which being an unfounded accusation, was met on the spur of the moment by Byrne striking out from the shoulder. This affair created considerable feeling, for a time among the friends of the two parties.” > +e FHE EPISCOPAL PASTOR.

During the walk to Cherokee, one of his feet became bidly chafed by the boot upon it. The foot commenced to swell, and fortwo or three days Mr. McCutchan suffered most intense pain. Itwas Wednesday before he was able to navig.te at all, and then be found it necessary to get around on crutches. The com mencing of the school term at Cherokee bas been delayed one week, or until Monday next, .to.permit of the teacher’s recovery. lp o> A LUCKY BOY. A Nevada City seventeen-year-od ‘boy isin bigh lack. He bought ten shares of Sierra Nevada when it was selling at $1.90 per share. Pretty, : soon it commenced to grow in value, and the higher it sailed the tighter he hung onto it. Day before yesterday it was worth an even hundred doliars per share, The young capitalist does not intimate anything about wanting to sell. When he ‘‘rcalizes’’ he probably will invest in a pair of patent leather boots and a dog. His parents may conclude to invest in a switch about the same time, which will be bad for the boy. CABIN ROBBED. Wednesday night somebody broke into Joe Lewis’ cabin, on Cement Hill, during the owner’s absence, and stole therefrom a quantity of clothing, provisious, etc, His trank was pried open, and a number of articles taken from that.

Wages have been reduced one-half during the last two yeara, and yet the struggle for positions goeson. The wages now vary from $30 to $45 per. month. Where a piece of sith unreliable information asthe sbove was ‘deriv_. ed from, it is difficult té say. A few. days-since an-item appeared ina Nevada county paper stating that the school teachers in the State of Iowa received. at_present from-$35. to. $45 per month and that. wages there had been feduced one-half. within two years past. At any rate; that was the idea intended to be conveyed by the writer, although it seéms the language was too ambiguous for some of his brother clippers to get at the real meaning of his seritences.— The real truth is that Nevada county school teachers are paid’ from $40 to $125 per month, and those prices have maintained for a long time.— With the exception of some of the departments in the Washington school, inthis city, there has been no difficulty in obtaining, teachers in On the other hand, the supply exceeds the demand. —~<>> --—_—_—. AN ELECTION INCIDENT. During the election for Supervisor at Grass Valley, on Wednesday, the Union ‘says, “a difficulty occurred between Messrs, Byrne and Daley rival candidates, which resulted in Daley receiving a knock down; ‘The cause of the difficulty was that Daley charged Byrne with ‘working Chinese on the Nevada road, which being an unfounded accusation, was met on the spur of the moment by Byrne striking out from the shoulder. This affair created considerable feeling, for a time among the friends of the two parties.” > +e FHE EPISCOPAL PASTOR. The arrangements being made by the Episcopal churches of this city and Grass Valley for securing the ‘services of Rev, Mr. Powell as pastor of the two organizations are about cow pleted, and he will assume charge soon.

During the walk to Cherokee, one of his feet became bidly chafed by the boot upon it. The foot commenced to swell, and fortwo or three days Mr. McCutchan suffered most intense pain. Itwas Wednesday before he was able to navig.te at all, and then be found it necessary to get around on crutches.

A Nevada City seventeen-year-od ‘boy isin bigh lack. He bought ten shares of Sierra Nevada when it was selling at $1.90 per share. Pretty, : soon it commenced to grow in value, and the higher it sailed the tighter he hung onto it. Day before yesterday it was worth an even hundred doliars per share, The young capitalist does not intimate anything about wanting to sell. When he ‘‘rcalizes’’ he probably will invest in a pair of patent leather boots and a dog. His parents may conclude to invest in a switch about the same time, which will be bad for the boy.
