the arrest of the said Felix Bsursoin. We care

HELENA AssEMBLY.-Oneo of the most
brilliant scenes that ever illumined life among
these mountains, scintillated IN the dark
hours of last night at the Assembly Rooms.
Helsna's fair ones, who would have success
fully disputed the claims of Venus 20 the ap-
pie, inscribed "To the fairest," Eris threw
among the assembled divinities, and forms of
manly beauty that might have poised in the
studio of the unknown sculptor for the Apollo
Belvidere, moved in undulating lines of beau
ty like Juno's swans, under the inspiration
of sounds sweeter far than those thai vooed
the daring mariner to mermaid caves on
Kgian seas. Eyes flashed joy, and voices
pleasure spoke. and beneath the soft and mel
low light the hours of time despened into
ages of enjoyment. Sleighs conveyed the
guests to and from the festive scene.
splendid supper, given by the members of the
Society, sumptious enough to have been
served to the royal purple in Rome's most
luxurious days, was discussed with satisfAc-
tion and many compliments to the skill and
taste and art displayed in its preparation. In
feasting and dancing the old year goes.
Happy the heart that can look upon adyanc-
ing time with merry voice and pleasant smile,
and as the dull grey of this morning came
stealing over the mountains the beauty aud
brilliancy of the 4th soiree of the Helena As
sembly dissolved-the lights were put out,
and the beauty went out with weary feet but
light hearts, never TO reappear in all the sad
old year.
THE PARK LEAD.-Min ing upon this
excellent ledge is now being more actively
prosecuted than ever before. On the west
end of the lead the Whitlatch Park Mining
Co., is pushing forward its work with great
vigor and is sinking four shafts at a rapid
rate, all of which give evidence of the perman-
ency and richness of the mine. One of the
shafts in particular, that located between
claims No. and 5 west, has attained depth
Of sixty feet and exhibits the most hattering
results that have ever been secured in any sec
tion of the country. Excellent pay rock
four feet in width there greets the miner and
permits of the panning out of glorious p-os-
poets. On No. 2 west Messrs Clark and Hale
are energetically engaged in opening their
ground, and Mr.. Turnley is similarly en-
ployed. The latter gentleman has nearly re-
paired all the damage which was recently oc>
casioned at his mill by the unfortunate boiler
explosion and will be ready TO run again in a
few days. For a week past the i Y l. mill has
been engaged In crushing rock for Mr.. Whit
latch, taken from the discovery claim on the
Park. Although this rock was unsolicited,
one hundred and thirty tons of it yielded

PAPER PosTAGE.-We are in receipt
of letter from one of The Posr subscribers,
town charges sixty-fve cents per quarter on
Territorial papers, and asks if this is correct.
We are informed by the Post Master at this
place that the legal postage on each Terrific
rial paper sent outside of the county in which
il is Published, Is only ave cents per quarter,
and that no Post Master can exact any great
er rate. We should regret the fact that any
one who bears a commission from the Postal
department would so far forget his duty as to
charge sixty cents more per quarter on papers
published IN the Territory, than the Law al
lows.
OvERLAND.-From a private dispatch
we are advised that on and after this the Salt
Lake COACHES of Wells, Fargo & Co. lay over
at Virginia City, Junction, Pleasant Valley,
snake River, Ruddy's and Bear River. The
time consumed from this place to Salt Lake
will be eight days. The necessity of this
schedule of time will suggest itself to every
citizen who is compelled TO travel, and who
values his life and body at any reasonable
figure.
NEW STORE BUILDTNG.-We under
stand that the enterprising clothiers, Messrs.
Cans & Klein, propose erecting, early in the
spring, fine fire proof granite building, on
