Ing, looking as natural as ever, only a

that they are all quietly packing up their

PAY Your PosrAaE.-Our attention
was called 7ast Saturday to letter that
had been placed in the postotfice without
the payment Of postage, and another
that bad cancelled stamp stuck on it.
The Postmaster looks at every letter that
Is placed in the Office, and there is no
use putting on cancelled stamps because
they will not convey letter to its des.
tination. II any one imagines that if
they can only get letter in the receiv-
ing box ct the Office, and that our good
natured P. NJ. will be sure to forward il
whether it is stamped or not, they de-
ceive themselves, for he has been played
so often in this manner that he is getting
cruel and hard.hearted, and instead OF
forwarding be hangs the letter on
string aud calls attention to its want of
stamps.
A CORRESPONDENT, writing from Pa.
naca, asks the following question: Gus
tice of the Peace Atchison was called on
q short time since to marry couple Of
youngsters between fifty OF sixty years
of age. He married them and they failed
to pay the marriage fee. Is such mar
riage lawful? Another young couple are
awaiting your decision" The payment
of the marriage fee is matter that has
nothing to do with the ceremony. II
the Justice is foolish enough to allow
parties that wish to taste the sweets of
matrimony to "stand him off," it is bis
fault, and he is the only sufferer. 1t
don't effect the ceremony that has been
performed. A Justice should never be
paid his fees in advance.
SoIREE.-The second soiree given by
P. Y. Peralta to the pupils of his dancing
school. at Browns Hall, Wednesday

gramme was gone through with, after
which an adjournment was had to sup

On T1ME.-On Monday the Eureka
and Hamilton stage arrived in Phoebe a
little after six o'clock in the evening, it
being the first time it has come in on
time for many long day. Jot Travis
had been along the route raising "old
Ned" on account of the dilatoriness of
the drivers and told them all il they
wanted to retain their positions they
must make schedule time"
In DOUBTS. stated in an item last
week that our restaurant proprietors
rode broncos. Now as to the animal Sol.
Brisaoher rides we have doubts as to it
being bronco. for he loaned it to US last
Sunday to take ride; however, we will
not render our decision IS to whether this
animal is a thoroughbred or not, until
we fully test her "mettle." Bring her
around again, Sol.
A NoNDEscR1pT.-One OF our School
