MAYORS CoURr.-April 18th. "A rather
complicated case Of assault and battery came up
before his Honor, Mayor Mcason. 1t appears that
on Sunday last, while two boys, named Fritz schia-
ter and ferdinand Judisc were skfriding, the for
mer gave the latter aogging for some real or fan
oied offence The next day Charles Judiseh, the
step-father of the lad, attempted to vindicats his
wounded honor by aogging the paternal protector
of young Schlater. The finale of the affair was the
holding of Judish tho elder and Schlater the young

charge of assault and battery at the next term OF

The Revival Abroad.

The revival spirit extends beyond this
continent. In England an unusual interest
prevails, especially in London. A CORE
spondent of the Presbyterian writes
-. You will observe. that the religious SER
vices are continued, both at Westminster
Abbey and at Exeter Hall, and are still at
tended by crowds. What good they are
doing of course remains secret. But that
they form part of great and glorious work,
which is now fairly on foot in this great
metropolis, there is no doubt. Since last
year the services on week days. as well as
Lords dav, in school rooms, and lecture
halls, and upper halls throughout the dark
places of London, have been rapidly on the
increase, and multitudes for whose souls no
man formerly cared, have been regularly
brought under Gospel influences. through
means of the city missionaries and their
supeIintendents.'

From Arizona

Mr.. B. II. Miles, formerly resident of
Santa Cruz county, California, in letter to
the San Francisco Herald, gives the follow
ing description of this new FL Dorado
The natural resources of Arizona will at
tract immigration, and ere long entitle it to
as much consideration as other parts of the
country. From geological indications, and
from actual developments already made, it
is not improbable that this is the richest
mineral district in North America Al
ready several enterprising companies are en-
gagged in mining near this place, notwith-
standing the many Inconvenience and diff
culties resulting from our situation, and the
absence of an efficient Government to re-
strain evil-doers, have succeeded so far as
to fully establish the fact that they are in
possession of mines of extraordinary rich
ness, which only requires energy and time
Z to return an ample reward to their proprie-
tors, and perhaps initiate state of things
destined to rival your golden California.
And so far from being a barren waste,
there is perhaps within the limits OF the
proposed Territory sufficient agricultural
lands to sustain million of people.
+ We have variety of climate and SOIL
The bottom lands of the Gila and its trib-
utaries are well adapted to the growth of
sugar and cotton, as well as all kinds of
grain and most of the garden vegetables
This is proven by the abundant harvests
gathered by the Pimo Indians with their
imperfect mode of cultivation, always hav
ing profuse supply for themselves, and a
surplus to sell to enigrants and others pass
ing on the road. The farming lands in the
vicinity of Tucson furnish an instance OF
in"xhaus'ible fertility not even equalled in
California. There are fields here, which,
for eighty consecutive years, have yielded
two crops annually-one of wheat and one
of corn, and are at this time as productive
as ever. Smut, rust and other diseases
which blight wheat in most other countries
are unknown here, and a good crop may be
relied upon if properly cultivated. Fruit
trees thrive here, as the orchards of Tucson
bear witness. The climate at this place is
about like that of Sacramento, consequent
ly not as pleasant as some parts of Cali
fornia.

A FEARFUL JUDoMEET.-A story is told
by the Hollidaysburgh Penn. Standard,
which is too horrible for belief. although
related with gravity, and of character
which precludes the idea of hoax. We
give the story as we find it in the paper
above named:
'sFor some days past there has been
singular story ahoat in this community. 1t
appears that man in the neighborhood of
Mount Union, Huntingdon county, while
cleaning grain, discovered that the weevil
had destroyed great part of it. This so
exasperaled him, that he blasphemed the
Savior in such willful, malicious and
wicked manner, as viii not bear putting in
print. He left the barn and went to the
house, where he seated himself IN a chair.
He had remained there but few minutes
before he turned TO his wife and asked her
what she said. She replied that she had
not spoken. i thought said be, that
heard somebody say must sit here till the
Judgment day It is now alleged that he
is still sitting in the chair. unable to rise or
speak, with his eyes rolling, and totally in
capable of moving his body. His family.
it is said, have left the house. where he still
remains seated in the chair.

An old gentleman of N visiting New
York, was persuaded by woman whom be
met in the street TO 60 home with her. On
arriving at what was reputed to be her res
idence, he was set upon by a man claiming
to be her husband who proposed TO sacri-
fee him at once to his outraged honor. He
was persuaded however by the old gentle
man to accept $1,000 instead, which was at
once paid over. It did not end there how
ever as the parties followed the old gentle
man up until they had extracted $1,000
from him, when, feeling pretty nearly de-
pleted, he applied to the police who took
him under protection. He must have at

Laziness is bad disease, and like many
other kinds, is often self-imposed. In the
case of many individuals. it is an inherited
malady, and consequently hard to east from
the system. But it is oftener the case that
this disgusting temper is brought on per-
vastly discreditable disposition to shirk
the inevitable burdens incident to living
decent life. Laziness of this kind is one of
the cardinal sins, and should subject the
obnoxious offender to the discipline of the
tread mill. More particularly is laziness
offensive in the young and healthy. To
learn to work, and work cheerfully, is the
central lesson of life. Begin to learn it
early-eschew laziness as the most disgust
ing of all faults, and one that viii surely
end in hopeless misery; for. depend upon
it, none can be so insensible through lazi-
ness as to be, in the end, incapable of suf-
fering. Nature is, in the event of nom
payment of her demands, stern and mer-
ciless creditor.

Letter of Dying Wife to her Husband.

The following touching fragment of 8 let
ter from dying wife to her husband, was
found between the leaves of religious vol
un,e which she was very fond of perusing.
The letter was written long before her hus-
band was aware that the grasp of fatal dis
case bad fastened upon the lovely form of
his wife, who died at the early age of nine
teen:
s'When this shall reach your eyes, dear
George, some day when you are turning
over the relics of the past, shall have passed
away forever, and the cold white stone viii
be keeping its lonely watch over the lips
you have so often pressed, and the sod viii
be growing green that shall hide from your
sight the dust of one who has often nestled
close to your warm heart. For many long
and sleepless nights, when all beside my
thoughts were at rest, l have wrestled with
the consciousness of approaching death,
until at last it has formed itself upon nv
mind and although to you and to others it
might now seem but the nervous imagining
of a girl, yet, dear George, it is sol Many
to reconcile myself to leave you, whom l
love so well, and this bright world of sun
shine and beauty and hard indeed it is to
struggle on silently and alone with the sure
conviction that am about to leave all for
ever and 60 down into the dark valley i
But know whom I have believed and
leaning on his arm l fear no evil Do
not blame me for keeping even all this from
you. How could subject you, of all 9TH
ers, to such sorrow as feel at parting,
when time viii soon make it apparent to
you ? could have wished to live. if only
to be at your side when your time shall
come, and pillowing your head upon my
breast, wipe the death damps from your
brow, and usher your departing spirit into
| the Makers presence, embamed in woman's
hoiest prayer. But it is not to be-and I
submit. Yours is the privilege of watching,
through long and dreary nights, for the
spirits final flight, and of transferring my
sinking head from your breast to my Sa-
vior's bosom And you shall share my last
thought, and the last faint pressure of the
hand, and the last feeble kiss shall be yours,
and even when flesh and heart shall have
failed me, my eyes shall rest on yours until
glassed by death AMI our spirits shall hold
one last communion until gently fading
from my view-the last of earth-you shall
mingle with the first bright glimpses of the
unfading glories of the better world, where
partings are unknown. Well do know
the spot, dear George, where you will lay
me often we stood by the place. and, as
we watched the mellow sunset as it glanced
in quivering flashes through the leaves and
FURNISHED the grassy mounds around US
with stripes of gold, each perhaps has
thought that some day one of US would
come alone, and whichever it might be, your
name would be on the stone. But we loved
the spot, and / know you win love it none
the less when you see the same quiet sun
light linger and play among the grass that
grows over your Mary's grave. know
you then, and whisper among the waving
branches, 4 am not lost, but gone before. %
