DRAwBAcKs.-AIuch excitement was occasioned by
the news Of Wednesday evening, and our Democratic
friends forgetting the unreiabiity of telegraphic
ports ventured their money freely. The result
seemed so extremely different from all anticpaions,
that it rather dashed the courage of some Radical
gentlemen-in one instance causing the surrender of
wager of $780, without waiting for further and more
definite news Subsequent reports changed the APP
pearance of things somewhat and our Democratic
friend may have to refund and pay the wager himself
"a small difference of $3.50, only. He had the first
laugh, the second was against him, and we hope he
may have the third and last In few days more we
ssshan see what we shall see, and then the-wine
New THING.-Our enterprlsing citizen, Geo, Cans,

SELF is putting up fine, large, two-story building
on Main street, two doors above Chtpman's corner,
which is intended as public hall, on the ground
floor for dances and public gatherings Of any char
acter and will also be used as. Reading Room, an

ADJUSTMENTS The dull times has thronged the
streets with idle men, who must amuse themselves
in some way this fine weather. At present horse
racing and dog-fghting supply the demand, and we
do think that Idaho boys fight more dogs in a
given length Of time without fighting any themselves
than any other equal number of men anywhere. AS
soon as these outdoor amusements cease we may
look for some gay old times in the cockpits sew
eral of our citizens fond of 'the ring sports have
been all Summer engaged in raising game cocks.
DEADwooD- gentleman just in from the
new camp at Deadwood we learn that mining is light
from want of water, though prospecting continues
brisk and the weather fine. The Ditch Company had
finished the survey of their ditch to supply the mines
already discovered when rich ground was struck
above the ditch SO far that location became
necessary to supply it with water Prospects fine
for a lively camp next Spring, and maybe a good
sized one may yet be developed.
