erin Of court Is. beginning 70 aceumu-
Late quite fast, several cases having been
booksd for tie consideration Of the
grad jury within tie last ten days.
Prom present APPEARANCES the May
term, 1851, viii bs Large one.
The terms Of MsssIs. MARKS. Rcd
and Hoyt, as members Of the city cO9n-
cl, expire In January neat. All these
gentlemen have rendered the city val
liable services and should be reelected
provided they are willing 10 serve,
which is doubtful.
Christmas gifts are going like hot
cakes at Hollis and other places in the
city. The little ones are all on the
anxious seat, for the majority of them
expect TO receive something, and many
Of them will, from present appearances,
realize their expectations.
Bands of coyotes are in the habit OF
coming very close TO town. They are
very impudent and have been known
10 approach a rider on horseback at
dusk 50 close as 10 make the r-o-h. feel
very uncomfortable. A gentleman who
has had this experience recently is our
informant.
Our city authorities ought 20 take
some measures to have a fence erected
on Sixteenth street, along the front
where the Delmonico and Washington
market formerly stood. There is dan
ger that some OF these dark and stormy
nights some n will fall into the eel
lars and get seriously hurt.
IL is not generally known that the
Cardiff giant is in Cheyenne-stowed
away mt the old stone warehouse on
Fifteenth street; but such is the fact,
While our people are holding fairs, fes-
rivals, ETC., would IL not he well TO
utilize the old man and set him up for
n curiosity, for tive bits a sight.
Under the workings of the wolf and
hawk bounty law there has been paid
out Of the county treasury within the
last year nearly $1,000. some people
can hardly o the propriety Of the law,
and yet 1t serves in a great measure to
protect one OF our most important in
terests-that OF sheep and wool rails
ing.
One Of the most Industrious men in
Cheyenne is the party that drives the
city mule and cart, for the purpose Of
clearing the streets and alleys OF rub
bish and dirt. lie can always be seen
ON the streets before il is fairly day
light, engaged at his labors, and he al
ways works faithfully until six O'Clock
In the evening, no matter what the
weather is.
The project in regard TO the building
Of the new opera house still hangs fire.
Messrs. Rhodes and Rutledge are work.
Ing the matter up pretty thoroughly,
and many OF our prominent citizens
seem disposed To favor the plan. II
will doubtless lie built sooner or later,
and then we shall have an appropriate
place for the amusement loving public
TO congregate when occasion offers.
The new town of Lulu, in the Mid
die Park, Colorado, is said TO be in n
very fourishing condition. It is in
close proximity TO the North Park and
Is Of easy access from Fort Collins.
Good mines arc found in the vicinity OF
the town, and in addition TO this fact,
IL will no doubt Mt an early day become
ono OF the main ''feedcrs" for the Park.
Several Fort Collins men are largely
interested in the town.
A good many Of the ordinances TO bc
found on our city statute book are prac.
tically dead letters. For instance that
which prohibits people from sweeping
or throwing rubbish into the street;
and also the one in regard TO the duties
OF fire warden. The ordnance closing
saloons ON Sunday between certain
hours Is OF course strictly observed, SO
TO speak. A good many OF these ordi-
nanccs, which are not OF much import
ance, ought to be repealed.
