208 APRIL 26-29, 1865 NEVADA TRANSCRIPT
THE PLEASANT VALLEY AFFAIR.—We have received from Pleasant Valley a communication
from a responsible party, in which it is stated that Mr. Peirsol, who is teaching at that place, refused to
permit pupils in his school to read compositions which contained loyal sentiments, on the ground that the
pieces were tinctured with politics. Mr. Peirsol took the teacher’s oath, in which he not only swears that
he is loyal, but that he would teach the same in his school. By a notice in today’s paper it will be seen that
the certificate of Peirsol is annulled, unless he can prove that the charges are unfounded.
TO THE TRUSTEES OF PLEASANT VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT.
Notice is hereby given to the Trustees of the above School District, that the Certificate of J. C. Peirsol,
teacher, is this day annulled, for disloyalty; and that after this date no money will be drawn from the Public School
Fund for said Peirsol, until hearing is had upon the above charge.
M. S. DEAL, Co. Supt of Schools.

A PICTURE.—When the Nevada Light Guard were out on parade on Tuesday, Chas. Ferrand took
an excellent picture of the Company, a copy of which is to be framed and place in the Armory of the
Company. The picture is so well taken that a large number of members can be recognized.
DIED. In this city, on the 26th inst., Lucy G., wife of [David] B. Frink, aged 25 years. The funeral of
the deceased will take place this afternoon at 2 o’clock P.M., from the residence of the family,
on Nevada street. Deceased was the daughter of the late W. S. Fairchild, of Vermontville,
Michigan. At an early age she dedicated herself to Christ and united with the Congregational
Church of the latter place. She came to California with her husband in 1861, for the purpose
of restoring her shattered health. Her sufferings have been of the most protracted and intense
character, all of which she has borne with heroic patience, thus exemplifying the religion she
professed. A devoted wife, a fond mother, a friend in whom was no guile, she was known only
to be loved. Hudson, N.Y., and Michigan papers please copy.

Grant reached Raleigh on the 24th, and sent word immediately to Johnston that the truce was at an
end, and also that civil matters could not be entertained in any convention between military commanders.
The sixth corps has gone to Danville to guard communication with Sherman’s army.
BOOTH TAKEN.—We received news last evening that Booth, the assassin of Lincoln, had been
captured in St. Mary’s county, Maryland. He was pursued by cavalry some distance through the swamps
to Port Royal, where he was overtaken by a well-aimed bullet, which ended his life. An associate by the
name of Harrold, was also taken with Booth.

THE registration law has a good effect in Nevada. Only those, who really take an interest in the
public welfare, registered their names as voters, and of course the number is not great. Only 586 have
been registered as voters in Virginia city.
GENERAL SHERMAN.— .. . Additional advices give us reason for believing that the injury
