Baltimore American claims, and running
parable! with the Jewett 4 Shepard. The
ground IS proSpectcd by means Of shaft,
aud cars and tracks are complete. A beau
htul shaft, now 100 feet deep, has been sunk,
and the efforts OF the miners are about to be
rewarded BY the opening up OF a fine ledge of
/ quartz, of dccompoSed yellowish and blush
colorS. The ledge has been penetrated but a
few feet, but sufficient TO warrant spectators
in buying at IS to Sl2, some Of the most
sanguine holders anticipating rise to Si5
and so and the ledge is really Of value, as
( ASSAYS have been made ranging from $50 to
4 $500 per ton. The shaft is double one,
+xS feet in the clear, timbered with three
I inch plank, with partition dividing it in two
compartments. The work is conducted un-

ence, who have unbOunded confidence in the
merits OF their claim. We wish them every
success in the prosecution Of their laborS,
and shall be pleased to note their progress IN
the development of their mine. We have not
yet paid personal visit to this mine, out

a few DAYS. The information above gwen is
furnished us by parties connected with the
claim.
ATAIL OF A DoG.-"You hits my dog
you hits me-" is comic old Teutonic ex-
preston. There is law in force requiring
all dogs runnin at large to have tag, and
dogs claiming the liberty Of the streets with
out the requisite license are very apt to be
impounded. \ day or two ago we witnessed
Il little incident on the street, which is worth |
relating, partly for the fun of it and partly to
show that the little boys know all about the |
tag business. Sccne-in front OF the What |
Cheer House: a pretty French poodle dog |
waiting for his owner, who had gone into the
house 10 get i nip" two little boys ap- |
proach the poodle. II say, Johnny, this ere |
dog has no tag on his neck" johnny
why, no, he has nary tag. Guess we had
better walk him of to the calaboose." The |
littlc devils got piece of rope tied around |
the neck Of the poor innocent French poodle,
marched him off, and the last We saw OF the |
boys they were knocking furiously \. the |
door OF the calabooSe to gain admission fer |
their "poor but honest" poodle prisoner, who /
looked like lamb led to slaughter. The dog |
was not incarcerated, however, the jailor be- !
ing absent, and we saw him in the streets |
the next day.

\ REFESrANr REcKuIT.-A considerable
crowd WIS attracted on North { street. Viz
ginia. yesterday, by scutllc between 4
couple of soldiers and a man who had lately |
enlisted. but who had now repented and was
showing some signs OF giving them the slip.
The new recruit claimed that he was so
drunk when he signed the papers that he did
not understand their import. We don't know
how the matter finally ended, but the first
SNirmiSh resulted in the recruit taking refuge
drawing toward their headquarters in the city.
DELAYED.-The late storms have delayed
the starting of several prospecting parties in
tending about this time to strike out into the
uuexplored portions of the Territory lying TO
the eastward. However, as the snow which |
has fallen in all the elevated mountain ranges |
will, bv its melting, furnish an abundance of
water in all the canons, and cause a growth |
OF grass in all the valleys, it will after all |
prove rather favorable than otherwise to the
development of the country and much facili- |
tate the work Of prospecting sterile and un- |
known regions.
GESERoUs.-Hank Blanchard, of this town,
last Saturday, presented Capt. Payne, of Co |
Z, First y. I. Cavalry Regiment, a splendid |
riding animal. The animal is one that would |
sell readily at $500, being the well-known |
Allison race-mare. The mare has always |
been a great pet with Mr.. Blanchard, and he
has several times refused $500 for her, but |
he thought nothing too good for his friend |
who was going to tight the battles Of Uncle |
Sam.
JUDGE KELLoGe's CoURr.-There were |
two police cases before the Judge this morn
inc. Timothy Daily charged with disturb |
ing the peace fined FIVE dollars and costs |
G. Heenan charged with disturbing the |
peace fined FIVE dollars and costs. In both |
these cases the accused had been fighting |
and both plead guilty.
WILL MAKE A HALT.-The stages of the |
Pioneer line will lie over each night at Straw
berry during the continuance of the present |
bad roads and stormy weather on the noun |
tains. As soon, however, as roads and |
weather will permit, the stages will again |
run through without halting.
L1rERATrRE.-Harper's Monthly and 9TH
er Eastern periodicals, too numerous to men
ton in detail, can be found at the Post Office !
Literary Depot. We are convinced of the |
fact from occular demonstration, BY liberal |
package of the same furnished our sanctum |
BY Mr.. Barnes, Deputy Postmaster.
A NEcEssITr.-Pcrsons travelling between
this place and Virginia, find our Omnibus
Line an absolute necessity. In the present |
muddy condition of the Streets walking be- |
tween the two cities is almost out of the |
question, and none having coin about their |
raiment think of attempting it.
SLErGHs.-Sleighs are now being used by |
the Pioneer line for the distance Of seven
miles, that is from Kingsbury's Station to
within two miles of Strawberry. The deep |
est snow on the route is on the second sum-
nit, where there is depth Of some FIVE
feet.
