GIFrs.-The Bay papers come to US
brim full of the advertisements OF dry
goods, jswelry and fancy stores all offer
iug goods adapted to the season, especi-
ally for presents, for there are few per-
sous so isolated or solitary but who at
this season give or receive some little
Gift as O token of regard to or from their
trends. Among these announcements
the jewellers seem to take tho lead. for
tbs reason that their wares embrace 80
ride range as to character and price.
They offer magnificent diamond orna.
ments, or the neat modest little ring or
set, or breast pin, or other articles to
suit the taste and means of almost all.
And here in Phoebe, distant as we are
from the centers OF business and civiliza-
ton, We find large stock Of jewelry,
diamonds. silver plate, watches. and we
cannot tell what else beside that afford
our citizens an excellent opportunity to
lay out their money to advantage as we'll
as to show their generosity to their
friends. For instance, now at Man
ning's, the well known jeweler in the
Bank building, Main street. We shall
find really elegant assortment of the
articles we have alluded to. Diamonds,
watches. chains, plate, trinkets, charms,
and sets in all styles and at prices that
cannot possibly be undersold either here
or at the Bay. Yesterday we passed q
pleasant hour looking over his pretty
things. and went off disgusted that
wealth and newspaper reporter were,
rs the druggists say, ''incompatibles.''
STILL CoMINa.-Yesterday afternoon
we were walking down street with gen.
teman who is visiting Phoebe for the
first time, when he exclaimed, "Why, l
thought Phoebe was gone in that is
what they told me in other places, but
for town that is gone in 1t seems to be
receiving more freight than many places
that are said to be lively" We thought
that our friend was fully justified. Main
street was blocked up with long strings
of OK teams with huge prairie schooners
attached, that seem capable OF transport
ing a whole warehouse full OF goods ut
one load. The fact is. as we said the
other day, Phoebe is not so dull as it
seems to those Of its old citizens who
participated in the rush and whirl OF the
exciting times OF 1871 and 1872. But
for all that the fact remains the same,
that our business houses are doing q
large. safe and profitable business, and
require large quantities of goods to meet
the demands of their customers. Yes
terday, among others. We noticed Jacobs
Il Sultan, John Roeder, CULLEN & Don
ahue, Eisenmnn & Co., and Felsenthal
receiving large accessions to their stock.
CHRISTMAS EvE.-At midnight, on the
evening before Christmas. in accordance
with the time honored usages Of tho
Catholic Church, High Mass will be cele.
brated with much solemnity at the new
Catholic Church, in this town, the Rev.
Father Monteverde officiating. The
musical part Of the services will be very
beautiful. Avolunteer vocal and iinstru.
mental choir having for some time been
practicing one of the masterpieces OF
ecclesiastical music and will render it
with much effect. There being a small
remaining debt upon the church, for
the purpose of extinguishing it, tickets
Of admission will be issued, for which
charge will be made of one dollar. The
occasion will be most interesting and in.
structive, and we have no doubt but that
the church will be densely crowded by a
devout and attentive congregation.
BUsTIFroArIoN.- Sunday afternoon
a few chips created blaze that water
could not extinguish, though, on the oc-
casion we refer to, the cooling fluid was
freely applied. 1t appears that the pos
session of some chips was the cause Of
the ruction. A fair, but frail, one was
picking up chips before the mansion OF
another OF the same sisterhood, who re-
scented the taking and conversion of the
aforesaid chips by emptying bucket OF
GOLD water over the predatory one. The
latter did not like the cold water cure
and went for the fair one who admins
tered ii. The result was a tremendous
assault on the back hair Of both parties
and an interview with Justice Allen
who, like old Logan at Austin, "painfu
dootied" them firmly, through sorrow
fully.
IMpRovED.-Friend Horst. of the New
York Restaurant, Lacour street. has rem
ovated and rsftted his we'll known estab
lishment, and is now better prepare
than ever to accommodate his numerou
friends and patrons. He has fitted II
and furnished the rooms formerly used a
photograph gallery and can now az
commodate private supper or wine pal
ties in excellent style. In fact his Who'll
establishment is extremely neat. comfor
able and convenient. The culinary o.
rangements are very complete. clea
rs constant attention and securing ca
make them. The house is open nigl
and day and visitors will receive ever
attention at all hours.
For SALT LAKE.-To.day our esteeme
friend, Judge Berry, leaves for So
Lake. The Judge still Las large stall
in the continued prosperity Of Pioch
and expresses undated confidence
her future. We wish the Judge q plea
ant journey.

mains beautifully clear and fine thout
