BRIEF MENTION.

The calendar of the Third Judicial
District Court for the december
term will be called next Saturday,
tie 18th instant.
The taxes paid in this county this
year by the Central Pacific Railroud
Company amounted to $2,904 o.
Nearly the whole amount was paid
in S. gold pieces.
The roads have been quite slushy
since the storm, but they begin to
show symptoms of drying up. They
freeze at night and thaw out in the
daytime, and between the frost and
sun they are drying fast.
Last Thursday morning the front
axle Of Dallas's stage broke, when
that vehicle was entering the city by
the Dayton road. The stage was
ih.uled up to Silver to be repaired,
and ita- passengers were taken to Vir-
ginia in rockaway."
Owing t, the heavy demand Of
grain for Europs the price has risen
considerably, of late, and is still ad.
yaucing. AS natural consequence,
-four is also enhancing III value. A
few days ago the Lake mills, al Reno,
advanced the price of that staple
from So so to SO rs per barrel.
The December term of the Third
Judicial District Court met in Day
ton, last Monday, Judge Seawell
presiding. The case of Al. DAN
forth vs.. The Quinn Gold and Silver
Mining Company was set for the
18th, some minor matters were at.
tended to, and the Court adjourned
to Saturday, the 18th inst.
Burglars broke into George Views

Stopped by the Wood.drive.

j. N. Godfrey came into town, last
Tuesday, and reported that his ar
rastras at The Murrimac mill had
been idle for weeks, owing to the
presence in the river of the fual
wood drive of the season. There is
law compelling al the water-power
mills, whenever a wood drive reaches
their vicinity, to stop running until
the drive has passed. Usually drive
gets by a mill in eight or ten days,
but in this case, owing to the freez
ing up Of the water, the drive has
been over thirty days in coming
down the river. 1t is now scattered
from tie Franklin mill to McTarna-
ian's lower bridge. Mr.. Godfrey
says that his two ar:asttas can crush
between five and six tons per day Of
twenty four hours, and 40 soon as he
can get to running regularly he will
demonstrate that Delaware district
contains as good ore as Was ever
claimed for il.

We were going 10 fall back !

we were going 10 tall back
No one but a soldier realizes the
meaning of an order to fall back
in the face of foe flushed with
victories gained on right, left and
center. 1t is next to a panic. One
false move will make it a panic and
route.
"The army will fall back to a
more favorable position" were the
words of the general to the va
rious commanders.
That meant defeat. IL meant
that our dead and wounded were
to be left in the hands of the ene-
my. 1t meant that we had been
out-generaled and that the only
hope left was to withdraw and re.
form in a new position. The wag.

hours, and, within three hours o.
sundown, our battle line melted
away as regiments and brigade,
were called in and divisions wen
marching down the highway.
