Miss Mary Adams of Phoebe has been
visiting lady friends in our village during
| the week.
The dance given at Social Hall Friday
evening by Messrs, Carroll and Rice was
grand success.
Our meadows are putting on their
spring suits, which is acceptable to both
man and beast.
Gardner Bros, of Utah, bought from
Charles Mathews, during the week. 100
head of stock cattle, at s25 per head.
The remains of Willy Shortencased in
handsome metallic casket, were taken
to Salt Lake Wednesday morning for
| burial.
Ike Garrison had over two tons of
Highland ore worked at the furnace dur.
ing the week that sampled l5l ounces
| per ton.

We have noticed quite number of
strangers in Bullionville during the week,
most OF whom were working men in
search of employment.
Mr. Williams informed us that

to Mr.. Colburn in satisfactory
manner, and regretted that he had not
been here IN time to prevent the suit, as
1T may have tendency to impair his
standing as business man in our COM
munity.
A traveller in from Utah witnessed a
novel game of base ball, while laying
over for couple of days in the little
village of Harmony. The rival clubs
were composed of young and sprightly
maidens, with well known stage man
of Phoebe acting as umpire; but We hope
Joe did not let his feelings for the belle
OF the village interfere with his Rulings.
Every day or so that venerable pros
pector and mineralogist, Lawson Atchi-
son, puts in an appearance at the furnace
with sack full of ore samples that he
found, God only knows where, for the
old man is very jealous of his new treas
ures. and will hang around the assay
| office OF Mr.. Vallejo until that gentleman
has made the proper tests, which in most
instances would discourage anybody with
less sanguine temperament: but he is
accustomed to disappointments, and, like
true philosopher, takes the world as it
Is; but let button be observable in the
| crucible and he is elevated to a third
heaven, as there are always some OF the
boys willing to advance grub stake
towards the development of the new
bonanza.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shorts infant son Willy,
aged 3 years, 3 months and 30 days, died
at their residence in Brllionville Tuesday
evening. The little fellow was taken
suddenly with a fit the evening previous,
when DR.. Mathews was telegraphed for,
but on his arrival the child was so far
gone that his efforts proved unavaiiing.
The family has the sympathy of the en-
tire community in this their sad bereaye-
ment, as Willy was general favorite;
but so it is in this vale of tears, the
choicest flowers are the first to pay
tribute to the debt of nature; but let us
hope that this little one may find an ac-
ceptable home in that mystic and shad-

are supposed to be unknown and joy and
contentment reign supreme.
Bullionville is undoubtedly ithe un-
healthiest town in the State, as the many
poor victims of lead poisoning who were
fortunate in escaping the most terrible
of deaths can testify to, The place is
not so dangerous now, however, as it was
in former days. when the mills were run
ming at their full capacity, but every
little while some poor fellow who has
neglected to take proper care Of himself
has to run the gauntlet Of the passover,
during which he suffers untold agony.
1t is an exceptionally dangerous abode
for children, as they stand no show for
recovery after. the poison from the tail
ings becomes permeated through their
system, as was the case with the
two little ones that succumbed during
the past few weeks.
There was a very slim attendance at
our Westinghouse Sunday evening,
which surprised US not little, as we
think the brethren should turn out in
force on such occasions, as couple OF
hours cannot be spent to better advan,
tage, besides their presence sets an ex-
ample to the younger members of the
flock, that ought not to be lost sight OF
for a moment. County Commissioner
Ronnow was the first speaker, and di.
lated to some length on the ultimate tri-
umph OF the Latter Day Dispensation
over all other creeds and the erection Of
a grand temple in Jackson county, Mis-
souri,, where the Word of God would be
promulgated to the nations Of the Garth,
brother Samuel Lse next stepped to the
