M sensation, We do not know but what
we shall have to fall back on the we'll
worn expedient of getting up long
account of some dreadful accident or

next day. On the 9th inst. the New
York Herald had sensation Of this
character. 1t filled . whole page with q
heart rending description Of combined
general assault OF whole herd Of wild
beasts upon the defenseless people OF
New York. We should hardly have
thought such great paper as the Herald,
with the constant pressure there is ON il
for all its available space, should have
condescended to have given SO much
room to long narrative which. from its
extreme improbability would excite sus-
picion from the first. However, with
even the shining example OF the Herald
before us, strengthened as it is. with the
efforts of Others in the hoax line. such
as Mark Twain's tragedy at Empire and
Fred Harris butchery in Smokey Valley,
we scarcely see where the joke comes in,
and shall not endeavor to excel in line
where we find so many SO signally fail.
JOCKEY CLuB.--At meeting Of the
Eastern Nevada Jockey Club, held at
Russ Scott's club rooms last evening, It
was resolved to distribute the funds left
on hand, in the following manner: To
the Phoebe Fire Department, $500 in gold
coin; to the poor families Of Phoebe, $500
in gold coin. A committee was appoint
ed to carry out the above object, consist
ing of Messrs. Scott, Dayton and Coffee.
RoADs.-We fear the last storm will
put the roads in fearful condition and
cause the bottom 10 drop out in some
places. This will be hurtful to Phoebe
in one respect. ss it will hinder the ar
rival of the great quantity Of machinery
and fittings for the Raymond Il Ely.
We understand that the freight is scat
tered along the road all the way from the
Bay hither. .reir. FFb 1r..

the intentions of the club is composed of
gentlemen who will perform their duties
carefully and conscientiously.
CLEARED oFr.-Yesterday morning the
weather cleared of, leaving it fine and
bright over head, but under foot the soft,
