THEArER.-The theater was crowded TO
its fullest capacity last night. to witness
the debut Of the new company. From
the high reputation for talent that
preceded them, expectation WAS on
tiptoe for a rare treat. and We
can safely say, that they better
bettered expectation than you must
look for me TO tell you how" The
lateness of the hour forbids an extended
notice of the performance, but we cannot
refrain from mentioning our appreciation
OF the beautiful song "Mollie Darling. )"
by Miss Carrie Armstrong and the touch
ing Duet. "Mnrmuring Sea-" by Mile
Josephine and Miss Carrie. Larkin was
all that his warmest admirers had claimed
for him, and the bone solo, by the
Champion, Sam Mitchell, fairly
brought down the house. Dow.
Pierce and Hudson were excellent
IN Their several parts, and Mile Jose
phine's reception on her appearance in
her bouquet of songs and dances, must
have satisfied her that Phoebe audiences
never forget their old favorites. The
concluding burlesque may fairly be
termed splittipg-our sides vet
ache at the recollection. The troupe
appear again this evening with an at
tractiye bill
Wild PEAcHks.-An item clipped from
the Gold Hill News, few days since,
stating that the mountains tkereabo ut
were covered with species of the peach,
We scarcely credited, thinking our cotem.
porary had made mistake in classifying
the novel shrub. But now we know his
classification was correct, for the noun
tains surrounding Phoebe are likewise
covered with these native peach trees.
The trunk, shape of the leaf, smell and
taste OF the wild variety are identical
with the smell, taste and appearance of
the cultivated peach, and the blossoms of
the two are alike III shape, color and fra
GRANGE. The fruit of the wild peach, we
are informed by those acquainted with
it, affords but little meat, being mainly
composed of skin and kernel, but it is
shaped like the cultivated fruit, and is of
the same flavor. This wild variety is
very hardy, fourishing far up on the
mountains where snow lies until MAY,
but even there it is prolific bearer. We
hope fruit raisers will consider our Ne
vada production: it may be cultivated in
to choice fruit in sections too rigorous
for any of the existing varieties Of this
delicious fruit.
VINO WILL MAKE THE CONTRIBUTION
We have received two letters from sci.
entitic gentlemen requesting specimens
of the ancient pottery found between
Phoebe and Bullionville - the last one
University of California. We should
like to send piece to the Professor, but
as we have parted with fragment after
fragment, until we only have piece
left the size of two-bit piece for our
Office cabinet, we will have to decline,
hoping some reader of this will make the
contribution to the museum Of archnol-
ogy connected with the University.
TIMELY.-During yesterday afternoon
our Office was besieged by messenger
from the soda and cider mandatory
with bountiful supply of soda and
cider, which was freely INDUCED in by
all hands in the RECORD Office. Now
that We are being visited by warm
weather, we merely wish to say that
those in need of cooling and palatable
summer drinks can be accommodated in
any quantity, by calling on L. G. Gar,
vey in the rear of Alex. Browns hall
NOTARY PUBLIc.-H. M. Barnes has
fitted up very cozy little Office, adjoin-
ing the Postoffice, where he is prepared

and Utah, and also general business

VERY CozY. MIR. Horst, proprietor Of
the New York Bakery and Restaurant,
near the Postoffice, Lacour street, has
thoroughly renovated his establishment,
and extended the culinary department a
considerable distance back from the din

IHE NARRow-GAUGE ESGINEERING.-
Mr.. Palmer requests us to say that Col.
Davis was in his employ in charging the
grade and curves OF the narrow-gauge
railroad, and that what he himself did in
that line was in accordance with inStruc-
tions-that he reported to the Superin-
tendent at the time of making the sur
veys that some of the curves and grades
were impracticable. 1t is but simple
justice to Mr.. Palmer to give publicity
to these facts.
STAR DISTRICT. Star district, between
here and Salt Lake, is attracting in
creased interest in Phoebe, there being
many here who are interested in lodges
in that district. The veins seem to i'm
prove with development, both in rich
ness and extent, if common reports are
to be believed. The town of Shenan-
doah, the trading point for these mines,
is growing rapidly and business is brisk
there. The assays of Star ore usually
run up high in the hundreds.
THE drawing of the Nevada State Lot.
terry takes place on the 2lst day of June.
The manager, d. L. Blanchard, at vir-
ginia city, has given notice to agents to
that effect. Those anticipating taking o
chance for one or both of the $25, 900
prizes. had better call soon on H. r.
Breakey for tickets, as but short time
will elapse before he makes his final
returns to the manager.
