Bio Bend. —No naws of importance Irotn this diatrici .luring the past week. Two of the Robartaon vouipaoy have left for Cariboo, and about twenty five others, enoouraged by tbe prospects iu the latter district, would leave French croelr. ns bood as tbe water rose. Two paokors, Bill Wade and Rose, are oow on tbe way to Big Bend with pack trains.

We believe it is the intention of Marsh's family also to leave for the Bftme destination.
