A BREAK DowN.-Aiter the dance at
the brewery by the picnic party Sunday
the wagons started for Phoebe, most Of
the drivers feeling in such good spirits
that, as natural result, all wanted to
arrive first in town, and per consequence
racing ensued. McAvoy, or sold Mac,
as he is familiarly known around Phoebe,
was driving along at o rapid rate, and
succeeded in passing every one on the
road, until finally one wagon returned
the compliment By passing his, while
Mack was dreaming of the supper be
would have when he returned to camp.
To recover the lost ground he drove
along again rapidly, succeeding in COM
ing up along side of the other, the
Wagons struck, the wheels became
locked, and the fire commenced to fly,
the great strain finally causing the
wheels OF McAvoy's wagon to break,
landing it on the ground, the other
wagon coming on in without being much
damaged. The several individual es-
consed in the broken wagon made up
their minds to foot it into town, and
proceeded to do so without further delay.
Some were picked up on the road by
passing vehicles whilst others rode in
on Shanks' mare. Previous to the
break down Of the wagon the springs
supporting the front seat, on which was
seated the diver, young lady and gen.
teman, broke, the seat falling down,
rendering the ride up to the general
break down very disagreeable.

FROM SILVER REEF.-From parties
who came here from Silver Reef during
the week We learn that til weather has
been terribly hot there. Times at the
Reef are very dull-not dollar to be
seen. At the Leeds mill an attempt has
been made to have the hands work
twelve hours, in consequence OF which
good hands have quit working, leavin g
the mill in charge of incompetent
hands, who cannot from their inexperi-
ence work as we'll as the old employees,
and which will likely cause damage and
accidents to the machinery to happen
Phoebe had practical illustration of the
effects of that business in the breaking
OF the spur-wheel at the Raymond & Ely
mine. Billy Goodman and Russ Scott
have built their house at Babylon (where
the 2O-stamp mill is going up and got it
running order. They are ready to take
in the stamps whenever they come along.
Was IT AN ATTEMPT Dr. Harrenburg
was awakened on Saturday night last by
his dog making terrible noise barking
in the from. Office. The doctor, who
sleeps in the room in the rear of the
Office, on getting up and going to the
front door, found 1t had been showed or
forced open. On retiring that night he
had locked the door and placed a
chair against it, the chair had been forced
away by the opening of the door, the
door being wide open but no one in
sight. Whether some person had at
tempted a burglary and been frightened
away by the noise the dog made, or
whether it was drunken joke Of some
one, he is unable to tell.
