ROYAL CITY CRUMBS.

The school is now running in full blast
and, Judging from the expressed opinion
of the people, the young idea is being
taught to shoot i'll proper manner. Thus
far the children have been submissive to
the teacher, and there has been no ne
cessity of bending the twig the way
the tree should grow, but ere long,
when the unsophisticated pupil shall have
become refractory, when hideous dis
cords, yells of despair and noises like
unto pandemomium will issue from the
school-house door, then shall it be known
unto the outside world that the work of
castigation is going on.
The dance Thursday evening turned
ont beyond our most sanguine expecta-
tons. 1t could not have been mole of
success. Evey one appeared to enjoy
themselves and danced until daylight did
appear. Among the ladies present were
Mrs. Thibault, Mrs. Shier, Mrs. Braizzee,
Mrs. Adelman, Mrs. Craw, Mrs. Catlin,
Mrs. Garrison, Mrs. Wells, Miss Nash,
Miss Hattie Wells, Misses Mary, Belle
and Lizzie Adams, Miss Cynthia Lang
ford, Miss Mulcahy and Miss Lottie
Blair. But enough of the ball until your
next issue, then ! will send full particu-
lars.
Messrs. Craw and Hazeltine are en-
gagged in sinking well in the valley be-
low town. The l5-mile well is probably
sufficient to supply the town but the
owner of it recently leased it to China
Dick, thus giving him monopoly of the
water business, and Messrs. Craw and
Hazeltine are determined that such mon.
opoly shall not exist.
One of our young friends had birth
day recently (his 2lst), and in con-
sequence thereof he invited his many
friends to join him in celebration of the
event. A keg of beer, box of cigars
and banjo, interspersed with singing,
dancing, and other bacchanalian orgies,
completed the evenings entertainment.
An interesting debate recently occurred
between the head of a family and his
better half, the result being the division
of the joint requirements, the man re-
tanning possession of the house whilst the
woman bore away the furniture and
household utensils, amidst the cheers of
an appreciative audience.
The many friends of c. B. Eppel are
earnestly soliciting him to stand in for
legislative honors this fall. They think
that his fine physique and graceful car
riage, together with his refined esthetic
tastes, would add tone as well as sub.
stantiality to the many other graces of
the Assembly Chamber.
Work at the Day mine is being steadily
pushed ahead and the shipment of rich
truck to the furnace continues, and makes
the hearts Of the Bristol people happy,
for they know if it was not for the Day
mine they would have to crawl to pas
lures new. e.I
The Payday blew its whistle Thurs.
day. Everything is now in readiness fol-
sinking, except the shaft, which will re.
quire timbering before the cage can be
run in it. We are informed that the
work of retimbering will consume only a
few days.
Several of the miners are building
stone cabins and dug-outs, the house
room being insufficient to accommodate
the large number of men at present resid
ing here.
There was fine shower here Thursday
night. 1t fell alike on the just and un
just, but more copiously on those whos'
houses had leaky roofs.
About 20 tons of ore were shipped tt
the furnace from the Volcano mine a few
days since. 1t will assay about IS % Leaf
and high in silver.
The mumps have gone from our gaze.
