BUGGY SMAsHIp.-Last Wednesday,

Meadow Valley street by two individuals
who took the occasion to ride around
town visiting the different saloon, i'm
billing freely at the places visited. The
result was reckless regard for conse-
quences, and when one of the parties at
last left the buggy to again wet up" his
partner, who was left in the vehicle,
seized the reins and started the horses
on run up Meadow Valley street. On
going down grade on the east side of the
Divide, the buggy struck pile of rocks
capsized, released the horses from the
harness and threw the driver out on the
road, without injuring him. The horses
and driver started for town, the ANIMALS
arriving first. informing the stable keeper
of the mishap. On bringing the buggy
to camp it was found to be a complete
wreck. So much for hiring out teams
to men who are three sheets in the
wind and not responsible for damages.
BUTTER, sweet and fresh, at Pou-
jade's.
FROM THE OUTSIDE. Julius Hoffman
and Judge Rives returned from Silver
Reef on Tuesday evening last, and
from them we learn that in Salt Lake
City, San Francisco District, Leeds,
Silver Reef, and oil the outside districts,
The Impression prevails that things have
commenced booming in Phoebe similar
TO the way they did in 1871, and that
individuals from every direction are
making their way here as fast az posi-
BILE in all manner OF style the roads lead
ing here having plenty OF men making
the trip afoot. We cannot say what has
given this impression. but it is very
false one. and some will bitterly regret
leaving good positions to come here at
present Although this camp is doing
very we'll there is nothing to Justify a
big rush nor the chance for men to get
work by coming, 80 we say to them that
they had better hold off for a while.
FOURTH OF JULy.-Next Wednesday
will be the Fourth of July, and for the
first time in the history of Phoebe there
is no preparation of any kind whatsoever
made to celebrate the day. Times being
dull and money scarce has prevented the
Fire Department from making any
preparations for q parade; in fact, some
of them are in debt still from last year q
celebration. rhe Lexington Guard hav.
Ing lost most OF its members by their leav-
ing camp has practically disbanded so
there is no organization to take charge
Of any celebration. There was some
talk about having ball in the evening
of that day, but that idea has been given
up, so that our citizens will have TO
celebrate by themselves as they best
think proper.
RATES REDUCED. The United States
mail having been making it lively for
the express companies throughout the
United States in the way of carrying
small parcels at comparatively low
figures, the express companies have
resolved to compete with the mails and
have accordingly reduced rates. To
facilitate the business of dealers in GER
tain articles, the Adams, American and
United States Express Companies place
their rates on packages not exceeding
four pounds in weight at the rate of one
cent per ounce, or fraction of an ounce,
but no package to be rated OF less than
ten cents.
BEER, ETo.-We are convinced OF the
the fact that the Panaca Saloon, No.
1000 Main street, is keeping the finest
brands of cigars and A No. st. Louis
Ale to be found in any saloon on the
coast, as through the courtesy of the
proprietor, j, B. Newman. Esq, we have
been enabled to sample the same; box
Of cigars and large number of mysteri-
GUS black bottles, labelled St. Louis
beer, having reached tho Office in good
order.
