parent and taxpayer:
EDITOR RECORD: 1 was one of those
who attended the educational meeting
tuesday evening, and not seeing any re-
port IN this mornings paper, send along
the following notes: One would natur.
ally expect at such a meeting to see a
large gathering of the parents, but in
stead there was only ONE patron of the
school, though there were present twelve
other persons interested in the cause of
education. We had a verv able and in.
teresting address from Rev. J. P. Eobert
on the general subject of education. fol.
lowed by discussion of the need of our
schools in this place. It was felt that
something must be done to arouse more
interest and bring about the needed i'm.
provements, and on motion of A. B.
o'Daugherty, Esq, it was resolved that
meeting of parents and taxpayers be
called for next Saturday evening at TX
o'clock, and that Rev. Mr.. Egbert be
requested to repeat his address at that
time. If there are persons interested
in the.cause of education it is to be hoped
they will be present. B,

A RAILROAD CERTAIN in.
formation from Salt Lake City, which is
authentic, assures us that Phoebe will be
put in railroad communication with that
place within two years. The consolida-
ton of the Salt Lake and Bingham Can.
yon and Salt Lake and Sewer Valley
Railroad Companies means business,
and no mistake. Strong forces of men
will be put to work grading as soon as
spring opens, and iron and rolling stock
have already been negotiated for in the
East. The Palisade, Eureka and Phoebe
Company must push ahead fast if they
would get the first train in here.
The PosToFFIcE IMPROVEMENT. Post.
master Barnes has added great i'm
provement to the postoffice, both orna-
mental and useful. He has placed in
position three hundred ock-boxes, neat
ly painted and numbered. They are d.
agonally arranged from the entrance, 80
that dozen can at the same time be
unlocking their mail without crowding
each other; and the place of general de-.
livery has been enlarged and embelished.
Our postoffice now presents very city.
like appearance.
ROUGH AccoMMoDAT1oN.--A young man
from Utah went to the Sheriff's office,
night before last, saying he was told he
could get lodging by calling there. The
Sheriff told him he had no place to put
him except in the Jail; and in the Jail hi
willingly went. The prisoners, ascertain
ing the circumstances, proceeded te
Josh him at such lively rate that HI
was glad to be released and seek quarter,
elsewhere.
JUVENILE DEPRAvITY.-If there is @
law to restrain the youths of Nevada
from going to the devil it ought to be
put in force; and if there is no such a
law such an one ought to be enacted. 1t
is no unusual thing to see the gambling
shops and saloons of Phoebe thronged
with urchins below sixteen years of age.
The first steps towards the gallows or
penitentiary are usually thus taken.
WE thought it was unnecessary, in tn,
last decades of the nineteenth century.
to state that publishers are not response
bic for what enters their advertising COL
umns, so long as the matter is free Of
absolute obscenity; but this fact does
not seem to be generally understood in
Phoebe. The advertising space of news
papers is saleable commodity.
