HoG-kILLING.-Th first swine ever butcher
ed in Bannoek, were slaughtered by Romer 8.
COLLEEN yesterday forenoon. They were the
two sleek little black porkers, formerly owned
by Tom Wilson of the Restaurant, and be-
came so fat and tame that they were 10th to
move out of the way of wagons, horsemen or
even footmen. Although we are almost a
Jew in our repugnance to pork, we neverthe-
less anticipate quite feast of fat things when
Jake sends the promised roast. We shall
call it "possum," and feel assured that it will
relish equal to the flesh of that delicate spe,
cies OF game.

A CARD.

Subscribers to Abbott's and Pollard's histo-
ries of the war are informed that the reason
of the nOn'arrival of my books is, that they
are at La Grande, where parties have been
constantly without success to have
them shipped. Had left them at Umatilla,
trains and teams would take them any day.
In bringing them to La Grande l made a
mistake which may not be able to remedy
before the last of the coming month, but
will have them sooner If possible.

The Posi- FFICE.-The time draws near
when poSt-offce will be started in Placer
vile, and steps should be taken to have the
line extended to this place. We have not a
copy of the P. 0. law at our command.
neither do we know where we can obtain it,
but presume the Postmaster appointed for
Placerville has it and knows his duty. If we
are correct in our opinion it will devolve upon
him Immediately after the commencement of
mail service to and from his office to put on
service and establish an office in the County
Seat of his county, in the meantime appoint
ing some suitable person at the County Seat
to act as P. NJ. until the department is mott
fed and has time either to ratify the service
and appointment or to provide others IN their
stead; this would involve also the establish
ment of an office in Centerville, that being an
important point on the route. If this be the
law, and we have the authority of legal gen.
tlemen for saying that it is, we may expect
mail simultaneously with our neighbors of

HAPPY REsULT.-The Placerville News,
of October 3lst, relates the following:
A fine looking young couple from down in
Amador OR Calaveras County put up in this
city Friday night, en- route for Carson Valley.
1t would appear they were on the marry but
cruel parents objected, and they concluded
to adopt the course common among spunkv
lawyers, and give the old folks the slip and
get tied over the other side of the mountains
where the laws are not so strict as ia this
State. Finding the birds had flown, the pa.
rients relented, and wisely conclud led that
what can't be cured mus: be endured Mar
shall Hume was requested to tender to the
runa@ays the parental forgiveness if they
would return and be made happy at home.
He overlook them at Smiths Flat, and made
known his mission to the husband to be.
Turning to the wife to be, the latter asked:
!" Mary, what shall we do" Mary, like
good girl who loved parents and lover too,
replied: Let's go back!" And back they
started, looking as happy as two turtle doves.

AN EYE-SoRE.-The old cabin in the upper
end of Main street, ghastly structure, has
kept its place in the public thorougheare ever
since we have known the city in defiance Of
all decency, symmetry and regularity. We
have waited long time in hopes that it would
not be necessary to call attention to it, expec-
ting each week to be able to chronicle its re-
moval, but still there it stands in "haughty
desOlation of hideous grandeur" When the
Fire Company get their new hooks, it will be
fine practice to hook on to it and demolsh it.
Once raze it to the ground and it will be pick
ed up for fuel and thus rid the streets of the
rubbish. Surely it will not be allowed to stand
longer to the annoyance of all corners and
goers.

PUBLIC SCHooL.-Mr. McGinly, seeing the
necessity for a public school, and no provision
being made by the authorities, went to
work and raised by subscription a sufficient
sum to procure very good house for the
purpose; stove and other conveniences have
been added, all by private enterprise, and
Mrs. Smith is now engaged in teaching.
Wood is necessary to make teacher and pu-
pills comfortable, and Mr.. McGinly has pro
vided it at his own expense. The question
now is, will the county authorities take hold
and continue this noble enterprise ? There
must be money in the school fund, and it de-
wolves upon the Board of County Commits
sioners to either appoint a Superintendent IF
Schools through whom the money in the
Treasury can be reached, or to spend it in
the right direction themselves; it will not do
to let the school lauguish, and parties who
have furnished means ought to be remunera-
ted.

CoNTEMPT1BLE.-A little souled tinker in
Walla Walla, by the nar2e of w. Phillips,
gave us his name as a subscriber to the
Boise NEWS last Fall, and we sent the paper
10 him regularly until this week, when we re-
ceived note from our Agent, stating that
Phillips refused to Fay his subscription. and
denied having subscribed. What we regret
most about the matter is, that we have been
guilty in addition to patronizing the pitiful
thing in WalIa Walla at the time he gave US
his nome,-of buying something near hun
bred dollars worth Of stuff of his house in
this city at enormous profits, when there were
gentlemen engaged in the tin-smith business
that deserve and should have had the patron
eye,

Walla Walla, Nov. 28th, 1868.
The Boise members arrived here a week
ago and most of them proceeded at once to
Lewiston. Sheriff Pinkham came in with the
party, and has his CrOV safely lodged in his
old nest, the Walla Walla Jail. The roads
are in fine order and lined with teams and pack
trains. Good Accommodations on the way, for
man and Feast, at cost of about $40 day
The road over the Blue mountains is in first
rate order, for which the enterprsing people
of Walla Walla are entitled to much credit.
George Thomas and Cot. Ruck les will put a
line of stages on this road early in the Spring,
running to some point on Powder or Burnt
river; there to connect with Greathouse & Co.
who will continue it to Boise. More perhaps
are now on their way to the mines than are
coming out and the road will probably be
ke6t open all winter. This town is well filled
with goods. many Of the merchants having
branch houses at Boise, which they furnish
from here This town is full Of strangers
who will winter here and return to the mines
in the spring. Walla Walla wants good
hotel building. Such as they have are well
Kept, but they are not up to the demands of
the times

WHERE CAN GET A LITTLE Coin ?-The
frequency with which we hear the above in-
quiry has led US on several occasions to make
suggestions in relation to the taking of dust
above its worth in payment for goods. The
merchants are to blame in the matter. If
they would allow no more for dust than it is
worth in coin, coin would soon become len
tifp i. The cage" puts 1t in the following very
clear light:
"The solution of the cause is very easy
Our business men have been in the habit of
allowing miners and others more for their dust
Gin trade) than it is worth, in order to get
trade, and as a matter of course, they put a
higher percentage upon their goods This
keeps miners from selling their dust at its
true value, consequently, no one will open
banking house for the purpose Of buying the
article, because the miners actually think, as
they are allowed so much per ounce in trade,
they should receive the same in coin. Hence
scarcely enough coin gets in circulation for
the necessary change in trade. We would
suggest to our business men to establish a
Board of Trade, and put the dust, from the
various mining localities, down to its true val
1e in coin. Then We would never hear the
question asked, Where can I get little

MUST CONPLY.-We dislike to allude
to matters personal to ourselves in the col
umns of newspaper, but our rules in rela-
ton to pay for iob-work before it leaves the
office, will have to be complied with much
closer in future than in the past Here, We
have been doing work at low prices all
Fall and Winter; and on taking look at
the posters spread on the wall Of the Office,
we find that full one-third remain unpaid.
This is not right. We have ased up material
out of which We could now make cash jobs.
if we had it bsck and in some instances have
gone out and bought from $I5 To $40 worth
of paper, envelopes, &c, to put into job for
which we have never received a farthing. We
came here to benefit ourselves pecuniarily,
and supply want that existed IN the COM
munity in the establishment of a printing
Office. We have never asked nor received a
dollar by way of donation Or inducement to
come, as is the case too often in the estab-
lishment of newspapers in new places; nei-
Their have we ever asked a man to trust us for
a single dollars worth of anything in the Ter
ritory, and why We should be singled cut as
the last to be paid-if paid at all-in the
winding up of every enterprise, is more than
we can divine Hereafter when job-work or
advertising is wanted, our friends will please
remember that our terms are in rRpance.
