STATE MrNERALooIsr.- hope tina


some of the legislative delegation from
this county will introduce bill to abol.
;sb the above useless office. It ought
never to have been created. It is of no
earthly service, and no matter how tai.
epted or worthy the incumbent may be,
there is nothing that be can do by which
be can earn his salary. The office ought
TO be done away with. The people
should not be required to pay taxes for
such o useless purpose as paying salary
to an officer who cannot possibly render
an equivalent.
The BEAUTIFUL.-Yes, the beautiful
snow is here again. though this commu-
nifty could have excused its presence for
some time to come. Yesterday it showed
lightly nearly all day. Towards night.
though considerable had melted, from
one to two inches Of snow covered the
ground The day was very gloomy. and
only wanted the presence of a sufficient
quantity of coal smoke to have converted
1t into a good specimen of London fog.
NIGHT before last about eleven
o'clock, tremendous volume OF sparks
rolled out Of stove pipe belonging to a
dwelling house on Cedar street. For a
minute it looked like a miniature volca.
no. 1t was merely an accumulation OF
SCOT that had taken light and soon burnt
itself out without causing any alarm. In
a dry time it might have been dangerous,
but as it was it did no harm.
For CARsoN.-The gentlemen olscted
to the Legislature from this county, are
preparing for their trip to the capitol of
the State. Leaving politics on one side,
we have an intelligent and respectable
delegation, and it is to he hoped that
they will do something to forward some
greatly needed amendments Of the Reve-
nue. laws, also those governing munich
pal bod les.
The fever for Panamint at present
shows but little signs Of abatement and
like every other disease. will have to
take its regular course. The storm may
probably cool the ardor of those who
have not started, but if it clears up in a
day or two, no doubt but they will be
taken with relapse.
RuNAwAYs.-T Two OF them occurred
yesterday; ole was team attached to a
grocery wagon and the other was draw
ing an empty wood wagon. Both were
stopped with but little damage further
than the breaking of an awning post and
dumping few pounds of groceries in
the mud.
MATTERS in the last few days have
been very quiet and dull, nothing &C.
curing more worthy of notice than the
departure of number OF our citizens for
the new mines. For the rest, things are
jogging along, with scarcely an occur
renee worthy of passing rem ark.
TAxEs.-Those who are delinquent
will do we'll to avail themselves of tn g
opportunity of paying before the com.
mencement OF suit. They can do so on
application 10 and getting an order from
the County Auditor.
COOLING OFF. Yesterday a man who
had imbibed too much tangle-foot and ex.
pressed his intention of cooling of,
quietly deposited himself at full length
in the mud aud snow of upper Main
street.

of sickness experienced at Bullionville
lately. During the Fall there has been
much suffering from bilious fever and
