FCS.-The boys" were having a
fine time last evening at one of our
saloons in giving the lash to one of the
old inebriatss who has haunted Phoebe
for long time back. He was first
asked up to drink by one OF his friends"
and swallowed half of tumbler of water
colored with a little bitters, before be
discovered that 1t was not pure "old
rye" The next invitation was from the
bar-keeper. who had fixed q mixture the
largest portion of which was red pepper,
The old boy had swallowed half of this
before he felt the effects, when curses
both loud and deep followed the dis
covery. The boys" not satisfied with
these experiments procured large
sized Chinese bomb and having it we'll
prepared for action lured the "inno-
cent to the sidewalk, when the bomb
was exploded. causing him to jump
about three feet into the air, the
"boys" at the same time yelling "you
We got 'em! you We got em!" and he
evidently thought he had, as he ran at
the top of his speed down Main street.
thus spelling the balance of the fun that
the "boys" calculated to have at his
expense.
Some considerable friend, who evident
ly imagines that he is considerable on
the "joshing" arrangement, caused that
crazy female of African descent to call
at our business Office yesterday for the
purpose of having letter written to
that amateur husband which she is sup
posed to have somewhere between Amer
| lea and Liberia. We are always ready to
do any writing as matter of accommo-
| dation, but as necessity requires it, We
want to be paid for the accommodation
part, not for the writing we do. We
also want only sane people to call to
have their work done. Such friends
could also employ their own time little
better by trying to earn an "honest
living than in exercising their talents at
the expense of people who are better
employed, and who have no time to
spare listening to the recitals of some
crazy loon.
Touch Nor. The foreman of Phoebe
Hose Company, informs us that lately
parties unknown have made practice
of going to thu hose house and taking
things that belong to that company ap.
propriating them to their own use,
never returning any thing that they
borrow without leave in that style.
Torches, &C., belonging to the company
have been purloined in that style and
the foreman is getting little sick of
that kind of business. He means to
prosecute anyone caught stealing, or
taking without leave, whatever it may be
called. anything whatsoever from the
house of Phoebe Hose Company.
GROOM DrsTRIcT.-Mr. z. T. Aistrop
a resident of Groom District. who ar.
rived last evening speaks highly of that
camp in general. The saw mill is now
running and turning out 20, 600 feet OF
lumber per day. Uuder the efficient
management of Mr.. j. B. Osborn, the
superintendent, things in that district
will now begin to look up. Lumbe,
has beeen the great want of the distric,
but that want is now supplied. Mr.
Aistrop will return to Groom in few
days.
LEAP YEAR PARTY. We hear of seve.
raj of our ladies taking the initiative in
regard to giving Leap Year Party
which will be given in frst-class style
invitations to which will be eagerly sought
after. The ladies will do all the work in
getting it up, and what few gentlemen
they may possibly call to their aid t.
assist, we hope will not try to take tn,
glory out OF the feminine hands ant
spread it on themselves. Do what yor
are asked to do gentlemen, but let tht
ladies have the credit of it.
SNowBALLINa.- Some of the good lit
tie and large-sized boys of Phoebe are
commencing exercises in this line once
more. The result will be broken win
, dows and no one to settle for such catas
trophies. To say that this practice is
nuisance would be saying too little. w,
had hopes that there would be no re
, currepce of it this season, but by wha
, we observed yesterday knew that gu
hopes were built on a very sandy fouu
!. dation.
