will settle the matter this time, and bring her right along with him.
 EUREKA HYDRAIIC DGGINgs.--Before leaving for California, Zadok Jackson bought the inter ests owned by his brothers Sol and Cal. in these dgrings, which are situate on Lower Lynx Creek about eight miles east from Proscoit, so that the "old man" now owns one-half the property The other half is owned by Messrs Lovejoy, Griffin. and the heir or heirs of Mir.

 GnAY & Co.'S freight train of six wagons, ar rived in town Wednesday last, from the settle pents on the Lower Agua Eric. It was freight ed with grain. The teamsters report the road bad.

Heslep.

 T,-ysn,r nigh, last. q soldier named Pegan. imbibcd too freely of puachdng) whisky, and Of course, felt disposed 70 punch somebody, but be was prevented from doing so by Sheriff Taylor, who waiked tue gentleman oH lo jsii and locked him In a cell. Next day be was taken before Justice Blair; who fined him $50 and costs. We understand that he boasted of having dis iinguished himself, shor. time ago, by shooting at Sheriff Taylor. while that officer was passing in front of Montezuma block. If SO. he, came within an ace of making a murderer of himself, for the ball passed through Mr. Tsilor's coat sleeve. All such fellows should be fined heavily, and if they fail to pay cash. should be made to sweat it out al hard labor.
 WE stated in previous issue, that Govern ment had backed out of the arrangement en- tered iato with John X. Rush sometime ago, for the purchase of the Willow Crpek Saw-MilI, and SO it had. Buf, it changed its mind, renewed the proposition, which was accepted, and, unless we are wrongly informed, the mill now belongs to Uncle Sam, sure. The price paid for mill, teams, etc, was, we learn, ss,OO0, in gold.
 AWsrcHnS NEEDED.-Our once qnle; village is getting to be | regular PaRdemonium- Some nights, the rows, noise and confusion that take place and are heard in our streets are terrific. Drunken men quarrel. fight, and shoot Dogs, of every size. color and breed strike up an compartment every cur for itself. The sounds blend, not in harmony. but in diabolical " cat gutural confusion. poisoning the midnight air and driving sober quiet citizens to desperation. Oh, those horid soundsl how they grate upon tue ear of a sober person and rasp his brain. Out upon such bloody 'orrid l" carvings on. Let us have night wAichman or two, who will muzzle the men and kill the dogs.
 DISTRICT CoURr.-This institution was alive and well last week that is, it was again in ses- sion. The fall term lasts well, so well and so long that some of our people have commenced praying for the leaves of every law book in the county to fail out In our opinion it (the CourD ought to have folded itself up long ago, and gone into it's winter covers. But, it is not the fault Of the Judge that it has not. The numer- ous jurymen that have met but to disagree have prolonged the session, frittered away time, added considerable to the debt of the county and done nothing for the general welfare. Hope those that are yet to meet will dispatch business little faster than their predecessors. The peo- Ple are aboa. tired of the farce that is being played at their cost
 CHRIsTAAs-Anather anniversary of the Birth oi the Redeemer is rapidly approaching, and, already, our peOple--young and Old--are pre- pairing for its observance, in abeeoming manner. On Christmas Eve, the little folks expect 10 re- ceive many nice things from of the Christmas Tree, and we have reason to know that they VIII not be disappointed. Hope young and old Will have merry time of it.
 ouR ARTIsr,-We wish everybody and his Whe 10 know that our town contains a real, bona Jde artist wh0sketohes for the love of the thing. Our artists name is L. W. Worth, and We will here state that he is q worthy citizen even though he boards at swimley's, and dimes on postage stamp soup, His Artistic Highness &C., companied us on our recent trip through the mountains saw all we saw and more to- While making the rounds he took some sketches upon "hich he has permitted us to gaze. One of these, "Colier's Trail" is falltless in every particular. ng Dug Mill and the country surrounding it, LOOKS quite nat'ral. He also took view of Sil- yer Mountain, which we pronounce hrstrate.
