The town has been oliristened Last Chance, it being the last chance for yvur humble correspondent to make a few cents by boarding and lodging the ditch hands, In c/ose proximity to the house is a pond of water, and should the editor of the Grass Valley Union of the attaches of the Transcript desire a frog dinmer, all they have to do isto procure some gooked pins and red flannel and make us a visit, The Milton Company have . arranged to dump the water ron through their ditoh into the Bloomfield Co.'s reservuir, and to do this ‘they willran atannel through the Bone, which is two miles below this place, Our mines are all running, ‘and-you will hear of big clean. ups before long, The people of Graniteville are ag: itating the question of building a new school house. They have considerable uf the go-aheud style abont them, and -will no doubt erect a school house that willbe an honor to the town. The school house here at Moore's Flat is a disgrace to the town and is actually .utisafe, it being liable to tumble down on the least oocasion, Our Trustees have been talking of soliciting subscriptions with whieh to. build a school house, butas yet nothing has been done, We say, call an election and let the people vote tax or no tax, for the purpose of building a school house, and, in my opinion, there would be & majority for taxing the property In this event we would have a school house, which, if but twelve feet square and built of rough timbers, would be safer and more of an honer to the town than the present old rattlestrap or dead fall Hoping to be able to chronicle a start in this matter of some kind in my next, I remain, F.

The seat yielded, the. child is clapped down in it, and the woman looks around for. somebody to give <her a seat. These little tricks ‘are well understood, and,after standing a. few biceks, the mother will sit-down and take the child in her. lap, Nobody yields a seat ip an Omnibus nor at a table.
