PINE GROVE POINTS.

this upper country. | will start on
that inexhaustiblc theme, "The
Weather" SO far we have had an
unusually fine winter. There is only
about three inches Of snow And
warm pleasant days and rather cold
nights.
In regard TO mining, everything
is rather quiet at present. but the
attention of capitalists has at last
been directed this way and several
mining sales are now pending of
which we have authority to state
will be consummated early i'm the
Spring. The Dixie camp is also on
the eve of a boom. In fact the
future for this part of the country
never looked brighter than at the
present time.
Miss Emma Andreas recently
from Ohio, has charge of our public
school and gives perfect satisfaction
both to pupils and parents.
Pine Grove has started on her
usual campaign of amusements.
She has turned herself loose and had
triplets, at one pop. ] mean we had
three dances in one week. On
Tuesday our gentlemanly stage
Superintendent, Bob Gray, came up
from Mountain Home and brought
his old fiddle with him. No sooner
had he arrived in town than the
long roll was sounded and youth
and beauty could be seen rushing
from all directions. towards the City
Hall, where dancing was kept up all
night and everybody went home in
the morning completely worn out,
declaring they were too tired to
make another jump again during
the remainder of the winter.
But no sooner had they settled down
TO rest than the report ran through
town that Professor Foley Abbott
had come down from Rocky Bar.
This was sufficient TO Danish all
thoughts of rest and set every one's
toes working, for we all knew by
past experience what the Professors
presence meant, especially as he was
accompanied by several ladies and
gentlemen from the Bar As the
shades of night began to gather the
dancers began to gather also and
soon the hall was again filled. Geo.
Crandal was appointed ringmaster
and the circus began IN earnest.
The floor being literally supplied
with coating of wax, was as smooth
rs Ia politicians tongue and some
high and lofty tumbling was indulg-
ed in which would discount any
of Barnum's trick mules. After
scraping cat-guts for some time,
Professor Abbott concluded to have
dance, but he got knocked out--or
rather down in the first round-for
his heels suddenly shot toward the
ceiling and about 225 pounds of Pro
fessor was scattered promiscuously
over the ball room floor, which caus-
ed suppressed giggle TO distort the
otherwise placed features Of the on
lockers. We all wanted to smile
aloud but of course etiquette for
babe such a breech Of discipline, SO
we had to content ourselves with a
broad grin. However he soon re-
gained his feet and all went merry
as marriage bell till approaching
daylight warned the dancers to dis
perse. 1t was supposed this would
wind up the dancing but during the
day our Sheriff-elect put in an APP
pearance and il was unanimously
decided to have another dance-for
the ladies declared Jim was just too
lovely for anything and they were
just dying 10 dance with him, any
the big hearted Professor kindly
consented to remain with us and
furnish music for another dance.
Thus fun and frolic reigned supreme
for three nights in succession. Fol-
lowing is list of those present:

son, Mr. Mitten and wife, Mr. Swan
