1t is gratifying to note the almost
daily importation of Registered Jerseys
in n. c. They are ''Fence-law' stock;
requiring little pasturage, free milk
ers, and the best of butter-makers. II
our people were accustomed to eat more
butter, cheese, and milk there would
be fewer farms under mortgage for " es-
tern bacon.

GENTLE SEX.-Misses Mary Miller md

Miss Kate Galloway, at Goldsboro. -
Miss Eliza Mial is visiting Mrs. Capt.
Williamson. - Mrs. Gen. Cox has
r%ejoined her husband at Washington. A
young lady Of North Carolina writing
from that city says-'There is now no
more delightful place of residence in
America. The city is modern, well
shaded, well paved, handsomely built,
and has the cosmopolitan population in
separable from the capital of a nation of

Northerners, and a good many Southern

with a view to enjoying these social ad-
vantages during the Congressional Sea-
son, which is about half the time. Mrs.
Senator Vance, Mrs. Senator Groome,
Mrs. Beck, and other Southern families
give delightful receptions every week"
A paragraph in a Northern paper says the

by reason of Society influences. -St.

Amount Expended by Frank Taylor

An additional finding of fact has
been filed in the suit of James P.
Motherwell ct al. VS.. Frank Taylor ct
al. tits dated January Is :inst.) and
is, in substance, "That, between the
time of the purchase of the interest in

the commencement of this action, said
defendants expended in the improve.
ment and development of said mine
more than the sum of $500, and ex-
tracted ore therefrom to the value of

have not been repaid the balance of
said expenditures, amounting to s2..

Eating the BOuq net.

At Hodgman's Restaurant, a few days
ago, when one of those chicken din
ners which have given that place such
deserved fame was served, a couple
from the country, of Milesian extrac-
ton, took seats at the table. Directly
after ayoung couple seated themselves
opposite, and the young man took a
stalk of celery from the dish and COM
menced eating it. The old lady OPP
posite looked at him a moment with
an air of disgust, and then, nudging
her husband, said, in a stage whisper:
"D'ye moind the blackguard ating the

THE SATURDAY NIGHT CLUB.
Its Initial Hop Last Saturday Evening
"A Pronounced Success.

gentlemen. AS it was not public

given were entirely satisfactory tc
both the members of the club and thei,
guests, and the shop" was pro-
nounced success. For this result the
old Haley ball-goers will admit that
the club members have just cause fol
congratulation when it is stated that
for the first time in the history OF terp-
sichorean festiviti,s in this city,
printed programmes were supplied,
and wonder of wonders! -actually
adhered to! Heretofore, the sight of
a printed programme has had about
the same effect, on the average Hal
ley ball-goer, that red cloth would
have on a wild bu;k But in this in
stance hardly word was uttered
against it. The fact is that, all over
the civilized world, programmes are in
use at public and private entertain
ments; they are an undoubted con-
venience, and the objections to them
spring from provinc'alism that must
give way before the advance of more
rational ideas. So, long live the
programme!

The Chinese New Year has CON-
menced. This is something that any,
body who employs Chinaman knows
by this time, as last Saturday, about
noon, the last mothers son of them
demanded his pay and said he
wouldn't be back until Wednesday
1t made no difference with them
whether their employers were sick or
we'll. Away they went regardless OF
consequences.
Down in Chinatown the population
hold high revels, and indulge in
opium-smoking, the eating OF rice
and other very greasy food, playing
tan and other games, and smoking more
opium. There is popular tradition
among the whites that the Chinese
about this time, square up accounts
with all the world, but this is probably
a falsehood, "allee same Mclean
mans lie." Chinese human nature is
as perverse as any other, and does not
permit them to pay their debts till
they get good and ready.
Many white persons have visited
the dirty, unventilated, foul-smelling
dens in Chinatown, miscalled ''stores,' -
to witness the New Year festivities.
They were treated very clcverly, after
the Chinese fashion-that is, they
were asked to partake Of greasy food,
nuts, Chinese brandy, ditto candy,
ditto pipes, and ditto ct cetera; they
we're also shown some huge Chinese
oranges-one in each house-and got
many Whit of burning punk and
opium; but, somehow or other, our
fashionable ladies do not take kindly
to the ways of the heather New Year
celebration, and most of them prefe,
to listen at some distance to the rattle
and bang of 6re-crackers.
There is absolutely nothing worth
seeing in Chinatown, on this or any
other occasion, and those who 20 once
do not care to 60 again.

THE SNOWSTORM.

1t Began Saturday, and Still Continues
Incidents and Casualties--No Seri.
Gus Damage Done Yet.
The storm which set in last Satur-
day continued, with scarcely any in
terruption, until about 9 o'clock last
night, when it abated. About noon to-.
day, however, snow again commenced
falling, and it has continued all day.
At present writing about Is inches Of
new snow have fallen, which, with
what was already on the ground, will
make total of about 81 inches this sea.
son, of which about 80 inches remain.
The new snow is very wet and heavy,
and as there was a substantial crust
on the old, all the conditions exist, in
such mountainous country as this,
for extensive and disastrous slides.
1t is likely that, for the next few days,
we will hear of avalanches in all parts
of this mining region.
Already several comparatively small
ones are reported along the Ketchum
road. From a point about one mile
above Gimlet, and for a distance of
three or four miles (clear to the upper
bridge, this side of Ketchum) the
road skirts along the base of noun
tain range that is a perfect nest for
avalanches. At every fall of snow
these roll down to the road, piling
up to the highth of 20 and 80 feet.
This would make the road impossible,
were it not for the fact that the snow
packs hard as stone as it falls, and
the heaviest teams can ride upon it
without sinking.
A small slide occurred at the upper
end of Bullion, near the Eureka mine,
about IL o'clock this morning, which
filed up the canyon a ways, but did
no other damage. More slides are
looked for in this vicinity.
In Haley and Bellevue, or the sur
rounding mountains, no slides have
occurred, but many doubtless will, be-
fore long. No damage need be ap-
pretended to life or limb, however, as
the avalanches never reach the inhab.
tied portion of town.
About II o'clock yesterday morn
ing, while team was loading hay at
the Northwestern Forwarding Com
pany's warehouse, near the HALEY
depot, the roof cavcd in. and Lew
Dorsey and Walter Stoiill, who were
loading the hay, were injured. The
first was only bruised, and not dis
abled, but Mr.. Stofil had his collar
bone broken. The agent OF the COM
pany escaped unhurt. The team
started on run, and were captured
by "Dad" Freeman and Chris Yeager,
in front of Coffin Bros store, having
run over aquarter of mile.
About midnight last night, Charley
Nelson's stable in Bellevue parted,
the roof caving in. 1t seems that the
rear of the stable spread, letting down
the roof. The front end of the stable
and roof remained in place. Neither
man nor beast were injured.
There will doubtless be other acct
dents, because of the storm, cspec-
tally if the snow continues to fall, and
the TINES may even be called upon
to recite some disasters.
