co-pr BrsINEss.-Since the commence
liant of the present term of the District
Court for this county, on the first Mon
a,v in December, civil business has oc-
c,nied the time of tho Court almost ex
olrsively. and three sessions-morning,
afternoon and eyening-have been held
nearly every day except on legal holi-
1,vs The civil calendar is being cleared
r,pidly, and it is believed that by the
and of the first week in February civil
bnsiness will be finished up entirely,
Having the remainder Of the term, end
inc on the 2Sth OF February, for the trial
a criminal cases. Only one criminal
c,se has been tried during this term
that of the State against George Lambert
on charge of grand larceny, which re-
shifted in the failure Of the jury to agree
mon verdict, followed by nolle pros
edui. Lambert having been arrested on
another charge of the same nature and
held to answer, his case will come before
theuext Grand Jury. The criminal bus
mess will hardly be disposed of before
the end of the present term, but as the
ensuing term begins on the first Monday
cd day. OF March, there will be no in
terregnum. The first case to be tried
will probably be that Of Ferguson, who
has been granted n new trial by the Su-
preme Court. He will be tried for the
murder of Robert Ash, on the indictment
found last Summer. The Grand Jury
soon to be impaneled will be called upon
TO investigate the cases of Cherry for
killing Kistle. Mckee for killing Man
ming, Peaslee for Carinos; and McCul-
Tough for killing DAMS; besides the sew
eral grand larceny charges against Chan
der, Robinson and Jacobs. Ferguson,
Chandler and Robinson are now in Jail.
jacobs is now at large, and the others
are out on bail.
The Enterprise rejoices that Virginia
City is not alone in the murdered infant
business, and declares that plenty of EN-
are found slowed away under the side
walks i'll Phoebe.
We clip the foregoing item from an
exchange, and were it not that the En-.
tarprise has exhibited in times past a
disposition to falsify everything in and
about Phoebe, we should feel constrained
in all charity 10 believe that there was
some mistake about the matter. But
the Enterprise has so often deliberately
lied about Phoebe, that we are not sur
prsed to learn that it has given circula-
ton to the foregoing unmitigated false
hood. No doubt the utterer Of this vile
SANDER chuckled in his sleeve, while
seated in his sanctum at the Nevada me-
tropols. upon the reflection that the
rustic community in isolated Phoebe
would wither under its displeasure, but
the Enterprise may as well remember
that it is not the only paper in the State,
and that it is not regarded as an oracle
to whom all must yield obedience 1t
has not@only deliberately lied in stating
that dead children "are found slowed
away under the sidewalks in Pioche,"
hut it has caused worthy contemporary
to make an untrue statement innoceptly
relying upon the veracity of the Enter
prise. There is no more reason for the
utlerance Of fasehood in an editors
sanctum than in any other place, and it
- due to common decency that the
writer of q SANDER like that published
by the Enterprise be kicked down the
back stairs of public contempt. Many
of our people are patrons Of the Enter
prise. and if they are iMbued with a
proper sense Of selfrespect, they will at
once order discontinuance of sheet
which by the most unblushing falsehood
seeks to damage their town and to dis
grace the people residing here.
INFORMATION WANTED. This is the
heading to many an item which has ap-
peared from time to time in Pacific coast
papers. Many who were attracted to the
golden shores Of California in the early
days of 1s49 and 80 have been entirely
lost sight of by friends and relatives il

childhood there TO enjoy the fruits 0
their toll and trouble, not few are dis
appointed, and, too proud to admit il
wander off to some distant camp and liv
and die in oblivion. We always enter
tain sympathetic feeling for those a

the greatest solicitude now fill unkno
graves, while not few from shet
thoughtlessness neglect one of the mo-
important duties-that of writing hon

FIRE DISCRIMINATION Saturday eve
ing joint meeting of the Hook al
Ladder Company and the Phoebe Ho
Company will be held at the scho
house on Main street for the purpose
consolidating the two companies and Q
ganizing the department. This is We
proper movement, and we hope and b
lieve that the firemen will succeed in Q
ganizing tremendously one compal
which will be ready for active service
any emergency that may arise. A tov
OF this size ought to have an efficient d
partment. and as it appears that great
efficiency will be obtained by organizil
one company than by attempting
maintain two organizations, we shall
glad to record the fact on Sunday tn
the movement for consolidation is
success. We direct attention to the a
yertisement Of the two companies to
found under "New To-day"
