INCREASED TRAVELLING FACILITIES.

INCREASED TRAVELLING FACILITIEs.-
We are informed that it is the intention
of the proprietors of the stage line to put
on four-horse coaches between this place
and Ward in anticipation of grand rush
to Phoebe, caused by the late strike in
the Raymond & Ely, and before the sun
rises and sets many times more we ex-
| pect the out-of-the-way camp of Phoebe
will be run down by an influx of "black-
and-tans," "sole-traders" "sports and
showmen. and oil the other necessary
evils that go to make up prosperous
mining community. and we should not
be surprised to see Montgomery Queens
circus coming this way 80 long as it ap-
pears we have n chance of becoming
little more prosperous than we hereto
fore have been; bu. its the old saying
about traits deserving what they think
to be q sinking ship" and now when
there is likely to be u chance for fat
pcklngs, back they come to share in
what there is. There is nothing at pres
ent to justify rush to this camp. 1t is
true that most OF the men who arrived
here from abroad have been very suo-
cesslul in obtaining employment, and
after everything is in readiness at both
mines and mills, there will be quite a
number more hands put to work, but it
will be impossible for this camp to furn-
sh all the idle men in the State with
employment
House CLEANING. - The average
house, wife of Phoebe is now busily
employed having carpets taken up and
shaken, ceilings whitewashed, and a
general upsetting and turning upside
down Of everything movable in the
house. The husband is compelled to
dine at some restaurant, as he knows be
will not get anything to eat at home, and
the affectionate chubby" spends the
time until late hour of the night in
that enticing game called "pedro." On
returning home and attempting to enter
the house softly SO as not to break the
slumbers of his tired out "better-half,'
he succeeded in placing his foot in q
bucket of whitewash and upsetting it on
the recently scrubbed floor, awakening
his wife, and having to compromise mat
tiers by the promise Of a new dress or hat
for the coming warm season. Such has
been the experience of at least one oil
our benedicis during house cleaning
season.

county in the case OF the State vs.. Har

{ van, has been reversed and a new tria
a ordered. The Enterprise has been in
q formed that the reversal of the judgmen
