BRIEF MENTION.

Mr.. Henry Riefe.
The people Of Sutro are getting
ambitious, and want justice Of the
psace. in addition to the deputy
.sheriffs with which they are already
blessed.
A hop vine in the garden lot ad-
Joining the Armory Hall is growing
at the rate of about eight inches per
day. "Tote" Noyes is as proud Of
that vine as a mother 10 of her drst
born.
We are under obligations to Hon.
r. M. Daggett for the receipt Of q
copy of the first edition of the Con-
gressional Directory of the Forty
sixth Congress, corrected up to
April IL, 1879.
The day of delinquency of assess
ment No. 6, the latest levied by the
Amazon Consolidated Mining Com
pany, has been postponed to Mon
day, May IL, and the day OF sale to
Tuesday, June 8.
T. r. Hawkins, Administrator,

Mrs. Barton, wife of Jack Barton,
the driver of Dallas's afternoon stage,
was taken Ill last Thursday noon.
For while fears were entertained
that she would not recover, and she
is not yet considered out of danger.
Mrs. Blaett, wife of John Bluett,

A lady of this city who recently
visited some friends in Dayton says
that the women. of that town are re-
markably prolific, at least fifteen
babies having been born there since
the FIRST of January. The popula-
tion Of the town does not exceed
1000 souls.
Yesterday and Thursday strong
wind prevailed which kept clouds of
dust in perpetual motion, and made
it very uncomfortable both in and
out-of- doors. If those two days are
any indication of the kind of weather
we are to have this month, it will he
very disagreeable.
About fifty men are now en-
ployed in taking the first wood
drive of the season out of the
river at Dayton. The river has
risep considerably of late, and thus
helped the work along by floating
che wood down toward the booms.
According to a Law passed at the
last session Of the Legislature, a
burial permit must be obtained from
the Coroner before any interment

atty of $50. See the Coroner's off,
eial notice under the head "New To
Day."
Another water wheel is being put
up at the Young & Sirlott mill. 1t
will increase the capacity of the
mill by some three or four tons per
day, aud will furnish power for a
few additional stamps. This mill is
kept running steadily, and is always
engaged for weeks ahead.
An arrangement has been in part
made, and will be perfected, by
which Crown Point, Beleher, Seq.
regated Belcher, Overman and Cal.

feet, the same having already been
commenced by the Uverman claim.
