The programme, to use a popular phrase, was “„hort and sweet,” consisting of singing, declamations, recitations, etc., which were well ren dered. The entertainment gave gen eral satisfaction, the proceeds of which will be used in purchasing books and other material for the Sunday School. Our limited space forbids further notice. --4»--- R ich D iggings .—James McDon ough, Dan Fisher and others have struck some rich placer diggings near Fort Lane, which promise to yield largely. Several pieces of gold, from fifty cents to four dollars in size, have been picked up, and one pan of dirt brought $4, though this large return may be owing to the earth having been taken from a favorable locality. It is well known that good minesexist in that region, but owing to the lack of a place to run the tailingsand dearth of water, little mining has been done there. We trust they will make it pay largely. --- —•---------- T he B all .—Toe anniversary ball given at Veit’s Hall on Thursday eve ning, December 30th, by Ruth Re bekah Degree Lodge, was decidedly one of the most enjoyable and suc cessful affairs that ever transpired in this section. Upwards of sixty tick ets were sold, and couples from various portions of the county worein attend ance. Messrs. Woods, Hull, Brown and Luy furnished first-class music, while the supper by Mrs. Horne was excellent. Dancing was kept up un til five o’clock in the morning, when all dispersed, w’eli satisfied with the evening’s amusement. — . . ..... •------ R eturned .—W. C. Myer, of Ash land, who for some time past has been absent on a visit to “the States” in search of fine horses, arrived home last week with some first-class speci mens of the I’ercheron stock, compris ing two stallions and a fiUy. He also brought with him a pair of Seabright bantams and an Eastern quail, whose mate got away shortly after starting for this section. The horses are fine looking animals, of large size and bone. The long distance they have traveled and symptoms of epizootic have re duced them considerably in flesh, but otherwise they are in good condition. This is a valuable acquisition to our stock interests, and Mr. Myer deserves great praise for the enterprise he has thus manifested. 1.O<11. BREVITIES. MORTALITY REPORT. The City Sexton, Mr. R. S.

Volunteer grain is sprouting finely. The political cauldron will soon begin to ferment. The waters in the various creeks have subsided considerably. • The holidays being over, the various schools are in full blast again. Leap year is at hand, and the girls can now run affairs to suit them selves. Parties without number have occur, red throughout this section during the holidays. Send the T imes to your friends East.

A free fight was indulged in at a ball in the country a few nights ago, but no serious damage is reported. County Court was still in session yesterday afternoon, hence the pro ceedings do not appear in this issue. Don’t forget to call and settle what you are indebted at the T imes office. County warrants always taken at par. A party is announced to transpire at Veit’s 11 di on St. Valentine’s Day, but further, the manager, whoever he may be, saith not. A large tusk, measuring seven inches long and three inches wide was found recently some feet below the surface, on Foots creek, by miners. At the last meeting of the Lake county Probate (’onrt George Nourse was appointed administrator of the estate of Alex. II. Miller, deceased. 'Die Amateur Dramatic Troupe of Ashland gave an entertainment on New Year’s eve, which was followed by a social dance. Further we know not. A few twenty-rent pieces have made their appearance in this section. They are nearly the size of a quarter of a dollar, and can easily be mistaken for such. Nine persons were received from this county at the Penitentiary during the past year, anil four were discharged from that institution during the same time. At a recent entertainment at Rose burg, Miss Angie Grubbe, formerly of Ashland, was voted a present for being the handsomest young lady in tiie house. Colonel Gillem, of the First Cavalry, U. $., and who, for a while, commanded in the war against the Modoes in 1873, died a few days ago at his home near Nashville, Tennessee. Tw’o strangers have for the past few days been in town with a couple of fine horses, said to be of Hambletonian stock. The animals were for sale, but found no purchasers here. The number of pupils enrolled in the four departments of the District School duringthe past month was two hundred and thirteen, and the average daily attendance was two hundred and two. ■■■ Business in Justice Stinson’s court has been quite lively of late. The case of Bybee vs. Jackson, to recover the value of hogs belonging to one Bowers, and sold at Constable’s sale under a verdict rendered injustice Gall’s court for Jackson and against Bowers, which Bybee claims to have bought, was tried and taken under advisement until Monday next.
