Dr. Perham has disposed of bis interest in
the Buckeye quartz lode and mill to Dr.

much regretted by all of his acquaintances.
Last Saturday and Sunday our town was
visited by quite number of strangers, which
looks as though we were not entirely out of
the world. At the same time our good
friends of "Campo Rugy Dick" were here
with Zig" as their mouth piece and "Shak-
spearian delineator." A new local play has
been introduced on the boards of the above
named Campo, entitled, "The Child of the
Volcano Guards" The amateurs who per

has discovered foreign drug in the "cock-
tails" The saloon is now a little below par,
and can not flourish until the proprietor
makes amends for selling spurious articles.
But to return home: now hotel has been
opened in the Southern portion of our place
called the Hotel de Horned Toad" The
host is one of those fastidious gentlemen, Ga

The propretors, knowing the effect Of p. on
the bear fraternity, concluded to exhibit in
