ON Hrs WAY HoME.-Weha have received
a dispatch from Mr.. Skillman from New
York, stating that he would leave that
MACE for home on the 18th instant. We
are glad Of this, snd we feel confident
that the readers of the News will also
be ersti6ed to learn TINT before another
issue of this paper its old editor will be
at the helm again. The foreman of this
Office has had to perform the double duty
Of. the editorial and mechanical work Of
the paper during Mr.. Skillman's absence.
and we hope this will be a sufficient
apology for any shortcomings OF the
News. For some unexplainable reason,
the gentleman whom we and our readers
were led to believed wa to edit this
paper and give us fresh and original
IDEAS" has not since made his appear
.ucs in this Office. though we are assured
anfhe necessary arrangements were made
in good faith by Mr.. Skillman before he
LETT fer the East. True, we have re-
csiyed several very lengthy commu-
nica.ions from this gentleman. always
on the eve of going to press. which might
have been very appropriate and read
able when the the resolutions of '98 were
subjects of discussion, or when the
Federalists and Wings were agitating the
most stable policy for the government of our
infant Republic, but which to the readers
of the present day. were about as inter-
esting reading matter as the Book of
Genesis to a young lady Just returned from
boarding school On vacation. We feel
that this much is due to our readers, no
matter on whose corns we may tread.
BIG F1ND.--Mr. Charles Karbsteln wa
informed the other day by thatintelligent
aboriginee, big Mouth George" that
he heap see um shontee greenbacks,"
and proposed to take Charley to theplace
among the rocks where he had found
them for the amount of on hundred dol
lars. Charley thereupon made a bargain
and started for the cache. and sure
enough found $3.50 in IS dollar green
backs, on the Traders National Bank oil
Chicago. These are some of the notes
pissed by our friends Selby and Wager
last year, and were evidently cached
there by them or some of their accom-
plices. The place where they were found
was near where the parties camped. Our
friend Big Mouth" was grieved when
Mr.. Karbstein told him they were no
good and clinched the assertion by shov-
ing some OF them in the fire.
PRISONERS. Deputy Sheriff Maxwell
of Cherry Creek, some time ago, went to
Salt Lake for two horse thieves, who had
stolen stock from the Keogh range, west
of Cherry Creek. The men we're lodged
IN prison at Salt Lake City awaiting the
arrival of an officer, and the horses found
in their possession held. Geo. Brewer,
one of the men, was found to be an old
hand at the business, and run his head
into the halter by going to Utah, where
two indictments are standing against him
for grand larceuy, OF both he will no
doubt be convicted. and when he serves
out his time there we may have a chance
at him here. The other prisoner was
brought to this place and lodged in jail

which will be called the first week in
September.
SNow.- Hamilton was Aisited by a
miniature SNOW storm on Friday last.
Snow on the 7th of Jnly is a luxury that
few localities can boast of. We under
stand that quite a covering OF the beau
tiful' fell on Treasure Hill. 1t was cold
enough the latter parts of last week and
the first days of the present to make
.overcoats comfortable, and fires both
morning and evening were a necessity.
