Artistic SKILL.-Yesterday we paid
visit to the photograph gallery Of Messrs.
sutterley L Fox, three doors above the
State Bank, up stairs. and although we
were prepared to view very creditable
york in the Photographic line, we scarce.
" hoped to meet with such a dazzling
a;s,,ay of Messrs. s. & FL artistic skill.
Ons would hardly expect to find that
a,oh handsome work was being done
s sa in a locality 30 far from railroad
saniers and business marts; but to see
- 70 believe, and those who desire an
,rIar demonstration of the facts herein
stated. can call at the gallery and be con-
s;rced In none OF the frst-class gal
lee in San Francisco have we ever seen
~orI which surpassed that Of Sutterley
@Eo, in exactness Of likeness and ex-
csllence of finish. Their photographs of
various well known citizens will afford
nndubitable proofs of their ability in
that line. Their life-size photographs,
naiuted in oil and retcuched in India
III. ars superb and indispensable.
Those of Mr.. Sutterley and wife and that
If our fellow townsman P. H. Ward will
particularly attract attention. Old pic
tur.s considered valuable on account of
by.gone associations) are copied, re-
touched and colored in oil, or inserted in
iockets. Among the gems of their gal
lery are the fine imperial parlor pictures
which would be ornaments in the palace
of a prince. Childrens pictures are a
speciaity. and ore taken in one second.
II is really q treat to examine the
splendid specimens of one of the finest
Of arts which are to be seen in the gal
lery Of Sutterey & Fox. We are glad to
see that the skill Of these gentlemen and
the excellence OF their work meets with
favor among our people. We predict for
them great success. ~
JOHN BoLsoN, whose dangerous illness
was mentioned in our previous issue,
died yesterday morning between 10 and
o'clock. We were reliably informed
yesterday that he had not, as previously
stated, been alone and unattended dur
ing two or three days, but received atten-
ton from his friends before he was taken
into Mr.. Daugherty's house, where be
was attended by DR.. Deal and was cared
for with every Kindness. He never spoke
clearly or intelligibly from 2 o'clock on
Monday morning, and continued delir-
ious until death put an end to his suffer-
ings. Deceased came to Phoebe from
Montana two years ago, and from those
who knew him in life We learn that he
lived previously in Missouri and in Kan
sas. He is believed to have been born at
Pittsburg, Pa, but Of this nothing GER
tain is known. His remains were con-
signed to the silent tomb yesterday after
noon. The disease Of which he died was
pneumonia. He was about As years old.
CHRISTMAS CoM1Na.-But little time
will elapse ere the Christmas holidays
will begin. Already have preparations
been inaugurated for the observance Of
festivities on the occasion. Several Of
our advertisers set forth that they are
prepared to sell holiday presents of vari-
Gus kinds, including variety Of toys
and such articles as are particularly
pleasing to the children. On Christmas
Eve the ever-memorable Christmas Tree
will gladden. the hearts of the little ones
who choose to meet at the Episcopal
Church, on Cedar street. The night fol-
lowing Christmas the Masons of Phoebe
expect to see o flow Of Tom and Jerry,
egg-nogg, and other hot drinks at the
different saloons in Phoebe. Doubtless
other modes Of making Christmas ap-
propriately merry, but no plans which
may have been perfected have been re-
ported to us as yet.
Prices OF MrLK.-Three OF the princi.
pal milk vendors in this neighborhood
have entered into an agreement whereby
the prices OF milk from this time until
the LIST Of May will be at tho rate of 81
per gallon for any quantity noteIceedinl
one quart; rs cents gallon when sold
in any quantity equal or exceeding 4
half gallon. After the LIST OF May pricei
will be reduced from'$1 to rs cents il
the first instance and from rs to so cent
in the second. The reason assigned
and which seems not unreasonable, il
the scarcity OF feed for cows and the ex
ira care required to be taken of then
during the rigor OF Winter.
SELLING OUT, AND No MIsTAKE.-Ik
Phillips, whose supply of groceries, pro
visions, canned goods, etc., is equal t,
the best in town, has determined to sci

so reasonable that those who examine hi
goods cannot fail to make purchase

tney, are willing to exchange for goods il
nj MS line to call and see for themselves
