STANDARD TIME.-The lack of stand.

STANDARD TIME.-The lack of a stand.
ard time N Phoebe Is felt by every one,
or at least by the whole business COM
munity. Having observed the great
difference in time, as indicated by differ
ent watches and clocks, it has occurred
to us that it would be we'll if some stand
ard time could be agreed upon and all
be governed by it. As matters stand at
present, man may be supenaed as a
witness or summoned on jury and so
required to appear in Court at u certain
hour, and yet he would hardly know
what hour was meant. Without intend
ing it, he may cause delay in the trans
action of the business of the Court, and
when called to an account, he would be
entitled to full exculpation by showing
that the time by which he was governed
was not as fast as that of the Court.
Yesterday our reporter visited the three
jewellers establishments in town, Wells,
Fargo d Co.'S and the State Bank of
Nevada. He found his time to agree
with that at the place he first visited; at
the next place he found difference of
IA minutes, the next Az, the next 4,
and the next 6. This is not as bad as We
thought it would be; yet there is differ
ence OF e minutes between time on a
certain street and time just around the
corner. Then take the useless distinc-
ton between city time and mining time,
which is constantly leading to vexatious
delays and many other annoyances. We
are glad to learn that thermometer has
been ordered, and when it arrives we
suggest that the watch makers, banks
and Courts be governed by it, and the
difficulties mentioned herein will no
longer be experienced.
NUISANCE CASE. - Another nuisance
case was tried before Justice Stouten-
burgh's Court yesterday. The defend
ant is keeper of a restaurant on Meadow
Valley street, and it was alleged that
from the rear Of his restaurant quantities
of Stops were allowed to find their way
towards lower Main street, causing great
annoyance to his neighbors and creating
n nuisance. The defendant demanded
and obtained a jury trial. After hearing
the testimony, the jury were allowed to
visit the scene of the alleged nuisance;
argument by counsel ensued, and the
case went to the jury. They failed to
agree and We're discharged. Another trial
will be had.
Mr.. BIDwELL, Superintendent of the
Globe silver mine, at Crescent City, in
this county, arrived in town, yesterday.
He gives a good account of mining oper-
atoms in that part of the county. Mr..
b. is at present working the Emerald
(late Henderson, mine, and of the bull
lion from this mine he brought several
bars which are from 974 to 975 fine. This
is the third shipment, showing that Hike
District not only has the ore, but the
means of reducing it to bullion.
The Phoebe RECORD opposes the max
ing of Government reservation in the
valley of the Muddy, and we think its
opposition is well grounded. Those ag-
rlcultural lands are too valuable to be
made place whereat the noble savage
may "loaf and rest his soul"
The Carson appeal of the 10Th and
22d inst, respectively, reached our office
yesterday. The latter came in due sea-
son. but to what corner OF the created
universe that of the 18th had been we
are unable to say.
The Thomas Mitchell who has been
referred to in our columns as having had
some trouble with woman, for which
he was arrested, put in Jail and finally
acquitted, is not Tommy Mitchell. well
known saloon-keeper in Phoebe.
| GRAND JURY REPoRT.--An additional
report was handed in to the District
Court by the Grand Jury yesterday. We
are not prepared to state what the nature
of their report was. By tomorrow,
probably, we shall know.
