HEAVY Snow SronM.-The snow which
has fallen within the past week
in this part OF the country is
unprecedented. Gentlemen who have
resided in this county seven or
eight years inform US that the quantity
which has fallen since the present storm
set in is greater than at any time since
they first came to the county. At present
writing it looks as if Phoebe was to be
showed in" almost completely. and gives
to our surroundings q cheerless aspect. il
the matter is viewed entirely from a su-
perficial standpoint. Notwithstanding
the possibility Of being cut off partially
from communication with the railroad,
we state it as gratifying fact there are
abundant supplies in store here, ample
Tor the sustenance Of the entire popula-
ton until Spring, even should so i'm
probable contingency arise as that al
luded to above. However heavy
the snow may be, it cannot inter-
fere with the working of the
mines to any great extent. Underground
the climate is about the same the year
round, and snow rain or hail cannot oper-
ate to impede the prosecution of the min
ing industries upon which our prosperity
mainly rests. The transportation Of ores
from the mines to the mills by the rail.
way will also continue, and the reduc-
ton of the ores will go on as usual. The
heavy fall Of snow will doubtless increase
the hay crop the coming season, and so
commemorate in, g.,
venience and discomfort it now causes.
SCREWED Doors. = Yesterday we
dropped into the boot-making establish
ment of Mason & Wilcox, on Main street,
few doors above Halpin's. They have
very neat, though unpretending estab-
lishment, and are each engaged in the
practical work themselves, assisted by the
latest and most approved machinery used
in that branch of business. Everything
turned ont by them is first class, but
screwed boots is their specially. They
have in use very ingenious contrivance
by which tho screws are driven into the
sole Of boot, clinches it on the inside
and cuts it off. Boots can be screwed
very rapidly by this means, and the work
is neat and durable. Mason & Wilcox
don't grumble about hard times, but are
doing good work at reasonable rates and
doing good business.
The CAPITOL SALOON. Coleman &
O'Neal, late proprietors of the Capitol
Saloon, have dissolved partnership.
Mr.. O'Neal will conduct the business on
his own account in future. We need
hardly remind those who indulge in the
"ardent," that the Capitol supplies to its
patrons the best of wines and LIQUORS
anything from an eye-opner to night
cap.
FAILED To APPEAR.-We promised on
Saturday that on to-day we would COM
mence the publication of Judge Beatty's
decision in the case of the Raymond e. Ely
VS.. the Kentucky Mining Company; but
we are unable to do so. However, tho
publication will be commenced to-mor-
row. and will be continued daily until
the whole matter is disposed OF.
STAGrNG.-Owing to the heavy snow

the Hamilton stage on time is not to be
expected. When the roads are good,
stages used TO arrive as early as o'clock
in the afternoon, but it cannot be done
now. The stage arrived about 10 o'clock
Sunday night.
MEADOW VALLEY CHop usE.-Frank
Schoonmaker, late of the Parlor Restau-
rant, in which he sustained his reputation
as one of the best caterers in Phoebe, is
again in the restaurant business. He is
now located on Meadow Valley street,
second door from Johnstons livery sta
BILE.
WINDOW BRoKEN.-Whle a game of
SNOWFALL was going on in Main street on
Sunday afternoon, some one who seems
not to have been an expert missed his
aim and struck the window in the door
of DR.. Deals drug store, breaking one of
the large panes.
Nor DEoIDED.-We understand that at
the throwing on Saturday evening for q
prize of 500, the three highest throws
were As each, which leaves the contest
undecided. Another will be had, of
which more anon.
