Lapham saw the stripping of the ground and the horning of the rock, which, he says, yielded fabulously in the yellow metai, for the entire distance of ‘thirty feet across the lead.

The Slough City B ds for the Wilmerding School of Manual Train- ing. STOCKTON, Car, June 17.—In case neisco, oto, new schoolbouses, why not offer the Lafayette school builing and site to the regents of the State University for the Wilmerding School of Manual Training?' suggests the Stockton Mail to-night. “It is unlikely that the Wilmerding School will ever be located in San Fran- cisco, which city has the call just now. The whole matter seems to have fallen into slumber, owing to the contagious sleepiness of the metropolis, and this nap will probably continue until next year. By that time Stocklon may be in a posi- ion to put in a good bid tor the school by offering the Lafayeite property, and in view of the long Inaction on the part o the metropolis the Borrd of Regents will most likely accept the offer.” The scnool departiment has several times supgested that the Lalayette build- ing be abandoned as a city school and used as a city hall or some other purpose, on tne ground thacitis too centrally lo- cated. A central location, however, is no objection in the case of a manual training school—in fact such a locaiion would b better for that purpose. The siteis within a hundred yards of the courthouse, and consists of a quarter of a block. The struciure 1s a substantial iwo-story brick building containing eight large room-, one of which will seat 150 pupils. The rooms will average thirty feet square at the very least. It wasdeeded to the city for school purposes, and there has been some doubt whether it can be transferred by the city for any other purpose. E dently, however, it could be transierred to the Regents as a home for the Wilmerding school, for under this crrangement a school would still be maintained there. — STOCKTON'S CELESTIAL LEPER.

The Chinese vegetabic veddlers experience the public opinion in this regard by being told by many forme regular customers that they do not carc for anything, and the Mongols do rot sel nalf as many blackberries as they did & few days ago.
