COME TO GRIgF.-Yesterda afternoon
two gentlemen were coming down Main
street in sleigh with four horses at
tached. As they turned the corner into
Lacour street they ran into huge pile
Of snow which had been thrown from the
sidewalk and had become closely
packed. The conclusion was so great
that the leaders broke away and made
their escape. Down the street they went,
but were soon overtaken and conveyed
back to the stable. The other pair of
horses were returned to the stable, and
SO what promised to be gay time was
brought to an abrupt termination.
TouRNAMENr.-They may have their
grand billiard matches, but Phoebe was
yesterday afternoon the scene of grand
snow-balling match on Main street, in
front Of Hamilton's saloon, in which
neighbor Hamilton was one of the prin-
cipals. Judging from the broken
pains OF glass (l9) in Hamilton's door
and windows. We judge he was rot the
victor. The affair attracted quite a
crowd, and many thought fight had
occurred, and the RECORD reporter
rushed up street only to find that his
hopes of obtaining frst-class sensa-
tional item had been frustrated.
An Error CoRREorED.-By some over.
sight which we are unable to account for,
the part of sehtence was left out in our
notice of the Raymond & Ely mine, as it
appears in Sundays issue OF the RECORD.
As the item was printed, Geo. L. Ames
was improperly stated as being in charge
OF the works on one of the levels. The
Tact is that the two new boilers were be-
ing placed under the direction of Mr..
Ames, and the leaving ont that portion
o, the item relatisg to the boilers gave
the matter an entirely erroneous aspect.
All the works were in charge of the fore.
man, as usual.
sNow'BALLING.-This is very nice
pastime for those who like it, but tastes
differ about snow-balling as about many
other things in this world. Certainly il
party OF men or boys delight in such
sport no one should object to an enjoy.

ninaman and threw him down in the
