EThe Santa Fe mail arrived to-day. AS the
party came in the snow had entirely disappeared.
The roads are good, and vegetables springng up
rapidly. Quite a number of train. were passed
on their way to the States, mostly owned by Mex
leans.
Business in Santa Fe was dull, and very little
ncws Of interest. Gov. Mcrriwether, Judge Watts
and all the officials, had reached their posts, and

in future. is@.feET .-..
The usual Indian troubles reported, and
much complaint made about the treatment of

suspected, and search being made, on the fifth
day his remlinS were found srcrctcd in the brush,
and bearing evident marks of an attempt to burn
them. Walker WAS at once arrested and con-

agents, who were present in plain clothes, made

rested when they left the hail. The students
detected the manGuvre, and syly chalked the

the Sergens de lille arrested them, lodged

NEWrOUNDLAND Doc PUTTING ourA F

NEwrouNDLAND DOG PurrING OUT FIRE
-WoNDERFUL SAGACITY.--One Of the most
astonishing instances OF the sagaci,y of the
dog, transpired this morning, which ever came
to our knowledge. The Messrs. Staude, to-
bacccnsts, No. 35 Congress street, closed their
store last evening leaving their favori,e New
toundland dog inside. 4 his morning, on OPEN
ing the store, the floor in the back room was
found to be- on fire, and the dog was laboring
with his fore feet and mouth, trying 70 subdue
it. A pail of water which stood in the room
had been poured down the hole. The faithful
animal had SO successfully colnbatted the fire
as TO prevent its spreading beyond spot two Or
three feet square. How long the noble fellow
had stood sentinel and fought down the ad-
vaucing flames can only be conjectured--- it
must have been several hours. His feet, legs,
and mouth were badly burned and it is feared
he is seriously injured internally, from inhaI-
ing the hot air. lie refuses food and is appa-
ren,ly in much pain, We trust the sagacous
and faithful animal is not seriously iniured---
Thsts the same dog which discovered the man
Lally on the ice few weeks since. He is
worth his weight in gold, and may safely be
pronounced the nobleSt of his race Troy

BoRRowED DR. REsses.-TheT Tribune has late
ly come into the possession of fact-an indis-
putable fact-thst will solve mystery that has
long puzzled some Of the observers and wri-
ters upon female dresses. The puzzle has been
that women Of sane mind should trail expen.
sive silk, or other costly stuff dresses through
the dirty streets, or that they should even have
such garment made three or four inches too
long for the stature of the wearer. The fact
learned explains all this seeming wonder away.
These dresses are not so made for the wearers
they were originally made for taller women,
and are borrowed! Therefore when YOU see
dragging dress, you may know that the drag
gler is borrower-she has no dress of her
own, made to fit her, and can't do better. 'f
