The office is removed from Lincoln & Herrick's drug store to Fittings building. corner of Gurley and Cortez Streets, s. E. corner room fronting on the Plaza. The repairmen are now dis tributing and setting redwood poles and stubs between here and Phenix. We shall expect better line when these repairs are completed and the city connection with the main line will be great convenience.
 RoBBERY.-Some sneak thief or thieves broke into John Roberts gunsmith shop on Granite street, last evening and stole shot, gun and two rifles, one being Winchester, we have not learned what pattern the other was. MT. Roberts left his place after dark, locking the door, and returned at ten o'clock when he found it had been entered and burglarized as stated above. Who ever did it has got away with the swag thus far, but Mr. Roberts knows the property and may vet get his eyes on it and his hand on the thief or thieves.
 DISTRICT COURT CALENDAR.--A very sensible move is the order of Judge Silent to have the Calendar of the District Court printed iu pamphlet form, so as that the Judge and each Attorney and officer of the Court can have copy, with the cases num- bered, enabling them to make their own notes and keep the run of the cases, who the attorneys are, and what has been done in each om day te day. The saving in time which has hitherto hindered the regu- iar work of the Court in hunting up cases. etc, will more than pay for the work of printing, every day of the Session, to say nothiug of the convenience and satisfaction of the thing.
 STAGE DIGNrTARIEs sARRIyED.-Jas. Stew art General Superintendent of the c. & A. Stage Co, accompanied by NIT. Gilmore, Of the firm of Gilmore x Saulsbury, the new mail contractors from Prescott to Dos Palmas. arrived in town this A. M., iu Mir. Stewards buggy. MT. Gilmore comes to spy out the land, examine the route, etc, preparatory to making ready for the com mencement of their contract on the first of July. Whether he is to buy out the c < A. Co.'S. stock, go Tn with them, or bring on an entirely new outfit are matters thatwe know- nothing about We venture to hope. how ever, that he will see the advantage of msin- taining first rate line of coaches on the route and that buck-boards will not form any portion of the outfit. The line is to be daily after July 1st, and the running of daily coaches musrhave the effect to increase the travel and prove great benefit to the development of the country, whereas inferior accommodations for travel will deter people from coming. The low price at which the contract is taken does not hold out much promise for first class staging, but Gilmore @S Salisbury have good reputation in the business and may go in for making the travel pay by offering superior inducements.
