WOMEN BEATING.-The imprisonment
OF Martin Buckley yesterday for beating
woman is regarded by all good citizens
as gratifying evidence Of a determine
ton ON the part of the authorities here
to put a stop to the brutality of men
who SO far forget their manhood, and
what is due to women as to place violent
hands upon her. Several arrests have
been made in this town for the crime of
assault and battery committed upon the
persons of women, and in many cases no
arrests have been made. When arrested
the guilty have been let off with nominal
fines. But the sentence OF Buckley to
pay fine OF 800 and costs, amounting
in all to $l56, followed by his commit
ment to the County Jail for IS days in
default of payment, cannot fail to have
a Statutory effect upon men who indulge
in the pastime of whipping women. Had
Buckley been able to pay his fine it
probably would have been much larger;
but out of consideration for the county's
finances he was fined only 500, instead
Of $3.50 or $500, which would have been
the case had he been able to pay it.
PIocHE TuEATER.-The old Phoebe
Theater, on Cedar street, is now being
torn down. The lumber thereof has
recently been purchased from o. P.
Sherwood & Bro. by Holland & Co. for
the erection of new office for the
RECORD newspaper and job printing es-
Enlistment, which will be located on
Lacour street. The present building is
not large enough for the RECORD. The
building to be erected for the new office
will be 3OxS0 feet in dimensions.
AN ExPLANATIoN.--Some weeks ago
complaint was made in these columns
that citizens of Phoebe had written to
the Secretary of State at Carson asking
for certified copy of the town law, but
without receiving either the law OF any
answer to their letters. Judge Clapp in
forms us that he was assured BY Mr..
Minor, the Secretary of State, that no
such letters as those referred to were
ever received by him. We make this ex.
PLANTATION in justice to Mr.. Minor.
sHERIrF's SALE.-Day before yester-
day the Jolly Traveller mine was sold at
Sheritf's sale to satisfy an execution in
favor of Horace d. Beene. The mine
contains 1900 feet, and brought 81, 200
under the hammer. o. P. Sherwood
was the purchaser. !.
WILTED.-It will be remembered that
Henry Kohner was bound over in the
sum Of $500 to keep the peace, but he
refused to give bail, and was accordingly
committed to jail. He didn't like the
accommodations, and yesterday gave the
required bond and was set at liberty.
The FOURTH AT BULL1oNv1LLE.-Our
neighbors at Bullionville are to celebrate
the approaching anniversary of American
Independence by grand ball at Richs
Hotel. We are assured that ample pre-
parations have been made to insure
pleasant and enjoyable time.
The only new case before Justice
Stovtenbursh yesterday was complaint
filed by one woman of the town against
another, charging her with threats of
an assault and battery. The case will
be heard this morning before Jnstce
