AccIDEyT.-So days ago, as Nor
mon team was returning homeward and
had reached point about three miles
distant from town, the driver, who was
somewhat intoxicated, fell from the seat,
The horses became frightened and ran
AWAY. One of the wheels passed over
the legs Of the unlucky teamster, and he
narrowly escaped having his bones frac-
tured. He lay on the ground for per-
haps fifteen minutes, at the end OF which
time couple of miners, who had seen
his mishap from distant hill side came
up and assisted him to rise. They ex-
ahmed his injuries carefully, whilst he
groaned necessarily, and found him I'M
injured, with the exception of painful
but not at all dangerous bruise ON the
right leg below the knee. They then
took him TO bis team, which had become
entaugled in the sagebrush a short dis
lance of, and placed him in the wagon.
He WIS ungrateful however, for when
he found himself safely on the seat he
thanked bis benefactors by saying, with
n drunken hiccup (and these were the
first words he uttered after the accident)
"D-n ye. yer might ha' had sense
enough to look after the horses and see
if they wasn't hurt
Cow BE11s.-The other day, farmer
from one OF the Mormon agricultural
districts Of the southern part of the coun-
ty, having sold his wagon-load of chick
ems, vegetables, and such like articles,
invested some of the proceeds in liquid
refreshments. He then went into store
on Main street, and the following con-
yersation ensued: Farmer quitting a
huge chew Of tobacco into his mouth,
and tucking up his breeches)- Got any
cow-bells?" Polite clerk-"Yes, here
are some of the very finest make; We'll
sell them to you cheap, too" Farmer
well, yes; they are rather purity bell,
but then they re too small. Hain't you
got none bigger" Clerk-"No; those
are the largest we have" Farmer-
We'll, I guess I'll go somewhere else,
where can git better bell. l couldn't
hear them no distance at all. !" Clerk
Why, don't you see that they re all the
better for being small. You will not
have tue least trouble in finding your
cows if You use such bell as this, for
rs soon as Won hear the bell you will
know that they are not far off ~ The
farmer studied over it for a moment, and
seeing that it was logic" he bought
the article This may account for that
clerks so often whistlng Beautiful
Bells
S1NGULAR.-It seems very singular
thing that a great many fires are not
occasioned by the apparent carelessness
of the Chinese who live in the lower part
Of town. Every night just after dark, one
may see great number of small fires on
the door-steps, front and back, and some
times even between the houses. These are
the joss.tires, and are intended to propi
tate the bad spirit or keep him away
II seems really wonder that the cry o.
fire does not ascend from Chinatown
every night; yet we know of no instance
IN which the burning OF joss-sticks OF
ioss-paper has resulted in the destruction
Of property.
TREMENDOUS Fault is really singu
lar how small thing will put man out
1t is seldom, however that those "mos

was one in Bullionville the other day
lie had finished the argumentative par
oil his speech, and was just in the middl
OF the pathetic part. The sobs of tn
cherubim were almost audible in tn
courtroom, and angels tears were fall
ing fast, when his Honor said, "confn
your remarks to the dog-fgh. case.
My learned friend" sat down.
BEAUTIFUL METEOR. Last night, abou
half-past 10 o'clock, a meteor appeare
IN the eastern sky about CO. above tn
horizon, and moved swiftly to the south
west traversing, we should Judge, an az
OF 3O' or 40. The meteor was as ia
from the horizon when it disappeared, O
when it first became visible, seeming
go in an almost perfectly straight line
and leaving brilliant track of light i
its wake.
FUNERAL.-The funeral of the late II
A. Drummer took place yesterday at
o'clock, from his late residence on NJ,
Cannon street. The procession whic
followed the remains to the grave col
sisted mostly of his fellow bushes
men, who manifested much regret at h
untimely death. The grave in which h
Is inferred is in the Jewish buryin
ground.
PROF. FowLER.-It was announced
Yesterdays paper that Prof. o. s. Fov
Ter was coming to Phoebe soon to lectur
but We received note from the Profe
sor last evening in which he expresse
come doubt as to the matter. We hol
ne may conclude to pay our town visi
