local INTELLIGENCE.


NroHrs.-In the Eastern States, es-
pecially those Of the Mississippi Valley,
The heat of the nights is almost iusup-
nortable. The buildings get heated dur
ing the day, and the warm vapors as.
ceuding after nightfall, renders, if posi-
ble. the atmosphere more insupportable
than during the day. Out here in the
sacebrush country we may lack many OF
the ameliorating influences Of social life,
Int. as Uncle Tom says, I'VE all has
priyileges, and We have ours. The day
nav be sultry, the sun with angry glare
NAV Cypress us, but during the evenings
and nights the clear. elastic, refreshing
atmosphere, invites to rest, renders sleep
refreshing, and causes us to awake In
yirorated for the daily toll. We could
not help thinking about these things
last night, as we watched the moon rid
ing clear and calm in the serene heavens,
and. as Norval says, "round as my
Notwithstanding bright and pleasant
light Ger tie vast landscape, which,
though drear and barren, even yet has a
beauty and charm Of its own.
Como, GoNE, as George Davis, the
auctioneer says. This genius amused US
the other evening. He was trying to
sell mule, which he declared had all
the virtues which mule nature was capa.
bic OF nuturing. With all bis eloquence
bids would slacken, and then he stopped
for a while. in order, as he said, to give
them time for reflection, and then com.
menced to sell a silver watch as kind
of an entracte: "Full jewelled, sir; two
ounce cases, sir; fine English lever, sir;
warrant him sound in wind, limb and
ears, sir; try him, sir; take ride, sir;
easy as rocking chair sir; cases made
of standard silver, sir; take it over to the
jewelers., sir: six dollars, sir; the mule
going at 500" We left, and thought
that if George could keep the run of that
double auction, he was pretty smart.
He said he did, and as be is like George
Washington and keeps Ratchet, we
suppose it is so.
RuNAwAY.--This time it was wagon
pure and simple. A teamster on Meadow
Valley street having some difficulty in
turning near the Catholic Church, un.
hitched his team, with the view of haul
ing the wagon backward. When this
was accomplished, by some mischancs
the break gave way, and away went the
wagon down the steep grade, the team
ster yainly endeavoring to stop its pro
gress. The runaway wagon finally
broupht mn auainst nm AWNING most ooc
was recaptured. A runaway team is
common enough, but it is not often tina
wagon goes off on its own hook.
FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS esterda,
morning in the mountains on the othe
side of the valley, huge column o
smoke might be seen ascending. 1t i.
supposed that some large wood piles Oh
the woods themselves were afre. Any
way there must have been considerable
blaze, for the smoke shot up in vast col
umns.
SEVERAL parties left town yesterday
for picnic in the Highland range. Tn,
day was delightful, and some of the par
ties say they had delightful time; SC
did we poking round town for items
which we didn't find.
