.sa was a nan OF great energy-nev-
,,ooinp behind, but always going to ,,
,hs front. He was also man Of noble !
,ha,;ties. never turning deaf ear to the
If distress, and it is not an exaggera-
.;.n "a say that during his residence ON q
M W. Pacific Coast he has given away !
.ho,sands of dollars. Although COM l
nand;np large sums of money at various
,;%ss Mr.. German died poor. his pro-
..ao,el illness having exhausted his {
leans and he leaves widow and three
anslj children in almost destitute cir
INSTANCES. In order to afford his rela-
,;ras here and elsewhere substantial
n,;dsnce of the esteem in which the de-
s.ased was held, a committee has been
anno;nted-several ladies being among
.bs number-which committee will
IL arrangements for benefit for the
.nu,;lv of the late VIM. +. German. |
Enr,ber particulars will be given as
nlsns are developed. 1t is earnestly
fnned that the liberality of Phoebe peo-
,,la will show itself in behalf Of the fam
iIv of Mr.. German, who, as all who
tnow him will attest, was ever ready to
assist the needy.
.Wr STILL Notwithstanding
the litigation that has SO greatly disturbed
mining operations here, Phoebe still lives.
The streets are not crowded with idle
mon. but those who are left generally
have plenty to do. 1t is not improbable
that at one time there were more people
here than could find profitable employ
ment, but such is not SO now, Inyo, San
Imam and other localities having drawn
of A portion OF the floating population.
We have no desire to raise an excitement
in favor Of Phoebe, nor yet are we trying
to whistle up our courage; but We wish
simply to say that Phoebe is still one OF
the liyeliest camps in the State. and that
those who adhere to the fortunes of the
place will have no cause to regret it. MI
aeperandum!
1.-THE course of true love never did
run smooth" SO We are told, at any
rate, by those who ought to know, and
equally true is it that in times Of general
prosperity, when everything is going on
smoothly, there is little out of which to
make local items. We happened to be
so situated yesterday. Everybody |
seemed to be satisfied with his neighbor |
rs we'll as himself, and as no one sought
to infringe upon the rights Of another,
there was little or nothing for the police
to do. There was not q shooting or cut |
ting affair in town all day yesterday, not |
even knock-down and drag out or
stand-up fight.
How He KEPT HIS WoRD.-A friend of |
ours (who shall bs nameless for the pur-
poses of this item) some two months ago
"swore Oh, said he wouldn't drink an
other drop of intoxicating beverages till
the end of the year. He held on for be-
tween three and four weeks, and then
topped over. His friends, chagrined at
his fall, chided him with violation of
his word; but he indignantly repealed the
iusinuation by asserting that he was no
Christian, and that he had kept the faith
to the end OF the Jewish year, and there
fore had right to indulge if he felt
like it.
THANKSGIVING DAy.-Governor Brad
ley having adopted President Grants
recommendation for the observance Of
Thursday the 9th, MS day of thanks
giving and prayer, we suppose the day
will be properly observed in this State.
In Phoebe there is to be given grand
ball, under the auspices of the Odd Fell
lows, and we doubt not it will be grand
affair. Tickets will be issued in due
time

teman desired something for his dog to
