think Il larger proportion OF the mines
that are being worked here at this time are
paying than for many years past, one
cause OF that is that the mines are becom.

more cautious.
We had i continuous celebration OF the

ard until the early hours Of the sixth,
when the weary celebrators came stray
glin. home from Twin Bridges, and the
sleepy dancers went drowsily home from
here.
The rains that came last month found
the crops very dry, and most OF the farm
ers were enabled by that little help to get
their crops pretty we'll watered conse-
quen,ly grain as general thing is doing

clivties forbade their discoursing coarse
music on SUNDAY. II such was the case
they are excusable, provided they come a
Mos,ynS the next time.
Joe Falker's thoroughbred Holsten and
Batenan's Jersey get together once in a
while and tear up the willows lively along
the creek, and the bugle notes Of Lige
Marsh's thoroughbred Durham can often
be heard as he tries to get acquainted with
Falkner's four Galloway niggers through
the fence that is very appropriately
named Thoroughbred Lane over there.
Our picnic here was one Of the most en.
joyable affairs Of the kind that has been
held for long time. Tucker Norvel, the
celebrated hoodlum,' was to deliver the
Grafton at Virginia City on the Sd and here
on the 5ti,. But, by Providential cir
cu,nstance, we were happily disappointed
in losing Tucker and securing for our
speaker the Rev +. f. Bostwick, who, by
his rarnestness, eloquence and patriotism,
held this assembled community spell
bound for nearly an hour, after having
listened to the reading Of the Declaration
OF Independence, which is always dry at
best. MIR. Bostwick was requested to Ell.
terrain us with a few remarks Sunday
afternoon, and he only had from that time
until II a. m. Monday when he came upon
the stand to prepare for the occasion, be.
sides he is in very poor health. We think
it WAS remarkable.
