A SxuNE.-Last Monday. while one of
the employs of the American Flag mine

his lunch, he enjoyed his leisure by re-
clininR on bench in front of the works,
and whilst thus resting he heard noise
under the bench. and gazing beu-ath he
observed fair siz. d skunk eating that
portion Of bis lunch that had Tell. Not
thinking his position q very desirable
one he climbed up pole in the vicinity
of the bench and remained there until he
succeeded in frightening the odorous
animal away.
No RAcEs.-The affair at Colburn's on
the Fourth Of July did not como up to
expectations, owing to Dan Nuswongsr
not bringing down bis racing stock from

ANIMALS. which did not amount to much.
Dancing took place at the ranch by
which parties whiled awey the time.

possibly could for every one there but
owing to the races not coming off many
were greatly disappointed.
