inquiry, it was found that their mission
was Q peaceful one. as they had come to
celebrate the birthday Of Miss Lizzie
Edwards, one of the estimable daughters
OF the household. This explanation be-

splendidly.
WATER.-There is q stoppage in the
water pipes of the Wife Pine Companv,s
water works somewhere betweenthe main
reservoir and Dunn's old mill-site. q dis
lance OF about eighty rods. Superintend-
ent Liddle has a large force of men en-
ployed, trying to find where it is frozen
up, but finds it difficult to guess the right
place in eighty rods of pipe buried two
or three feet under the ground. This
difficulty, however, will be speedily re-
moved, and connection with the main
reservoir be made.
SHOOTING MATcH.-Charley Wray in
forms us that a shooting match is likely
to be made between some crack shots of
Eureka and Hamilton. Let the match
be made, for we know of some here whose
eyes are clear and nerves steady, and are
spelling for some fun. We will wager
something on our reporter hitting q flock
of barns.
SAINT PATRIcK.-On Saint Patrick's
day a spirited discussion took place on
Main street between Pat Durkin and
Steve OLoughlin, as to the nativity of
Saint Patrick. Steve, as a general rule,
is very correct in historical facts, but in
this instance we think him a little off,"
when he claimed that Saint Patrick was
born at Murphy's Camp, California.
CABINET CAsE.-A very fine walnut case
has just been put up in the Little
Church on the Corner" and some rich

School books and keno cards, and the
whole case taken together is a "thing Of
beauty"

die, of this place, has just received the
contract to deliver to the Eberhardt Il

Manager Drake will keep the stamps Of
that mill busy the coming season.
We would call the attention of our
young folks to an advertisement headed
"Boys and Girls Wanted to engage in a
Light Honorable Business" in another
column. This is a good opportunity,
and our young people would do well to
send for instructions.
Co.'s TO EBERHARDT.-Sampson, who
for a long time has handled the rib
bons'' between this place and Eureka,

Use to sell at low prices. Call and see it.
