The Woodward Reunion.

To-day many of our active, useful men are
boys again. They are reminded of their
Woodward IIigh-school days-reminded of
their youthful associations, their sports, their
play. grounds, their old teachers and the great
patron of the school, the worthy WOODWARD
himself. 1t was q laboring man, the never
to.be sufficiently esteemed WILLIAM WooD-
WARD, who, whom the State was struggling to
initiate system of Free Schools, common to
the children of all ranks in the State, this Gin
cinnati pioneer, the humble tanner, the man
who drove his own cart in daily work before
tho High School he himself endowed-that
started for tho peoples children of Cincinnati a
noble common and classical school, which, like
the running waters of cleft rock, has been
blessing our city with its elevating influences.
Well may those who obtained instruction by
this laboring mans bounty honor the anniver-
sary day. Taxpayers, tho fund for schools
is annually lossened by the rents Of the WOOD
WARD real estate, and the whole city has bcen
benefited by the schools. Pupils from afar
are in attendance to. day to honor tho memory
Of WOODWARD. Kick lively football to-day,
boys, and drink q bumper tonight in joyful
remembrance of tho good man WOODWARD.

Official Advices from the Plains.

WASHINGTON, September 2S.
Dates from Arizona to the Sth inst say that
an express had arrived bringing nows OF the
complete submission Of the Mohave Indians by
Major Armstead. They acknowledge large
number killed. Thoy surrender fine tract OF
land for tho use of the Government, and promise
never again to mOlest the whites. Maj. Arm
stead is on his way east on twelve months
leave.
The reports from General Clarke repre-
sent the Colorado River as a moro reliable
stream for navigation than the Red River,
Missouri, Upper Mississippi or Minnesota.
Tho new steamer Cocopa made tho trip from
Fort Yuma TO Fort Mohave, two hundred and
twenty-five miles, in five days, cutting her
own wood on the way. This trip dcmon-
strates the success of Lieut.. lves's exloration
made last year. The Overland Mail Co.'S
station, sixty miles above Fort Yuma, was
robbed of all the horses by the Mcxicans.
The station keeper was left for dead. A pOr-
ton of the Americans on the Gila River had
determined to drive off all Mexicans on the
river on account of this outrage.
A collision had occurred, in which it is said
six Mcxicans were killed. There being no
law or officers in Arizona, no arrests were
made. The Mexican population at the Gila
and Colorado Mines was much alarmed.
Lieutenant Mowry's election as delegate
from Arizona was unanimous.
Out of three thousand votes, it is not known
that even one was against him.
A settlement of emigrants has commenced
on the San Pedro River.
Tho Apaches have boon very bad in their
depredations, and Colonel Reeve, Of Fort Bu-
ehanan, has applied for roinforcoments.

Official AdyIces from China.

WASHINGTON, September rs.
The dispatches received by the Government
narrate with great minuteness the recent events
in China.
Flag officer Tatnall says that tho British Of
6cer in charge of the gun boats having visited
him, said nothing about aid, but his silent ap-
peal was powerful indeed. During the few
moments he was on board the Po,ohattan no
would look anxiously at his Admiral and at
the boat.
CATER he left" continues officer Tatnall,
'I held o conversation with our commits
sioner, Mr. Ward. He agreed with me per-
fectly that under the circumstances of our
position with the English, and the aid the
Admiral had rendered mo the day before, l
could do no less than tow the boats to his re-
lief. / made the offer, which was thank
fully and promptly accepted. While the
boats were making fast to the hawsers which
veered astern, insisted on Mr.. Ward 60
ing on board one of the junks for reasons
(and his suite leaving the Loey- Wqm) which
will be obvious. He at first reluctantly
yielded and left us, but soon returned in one
of the English boats, declaring that as the
Loey- VAN was his home, and going under
fire with his appreciation and concurrence,
he would remain in her. l reluctantly
yielded to his gallant impulse"
Captain Tatnall towed the boats through
the British line to within short distance Of
the Admiral, whose flag was flying, whom,
casting them of, he retired to the rear of tho
line and anchored for tho night. He took up
this position, as it might enable him to aid the
wounded, and, should tho boats be sunk, to
rescue their crews. In other words, TO afford
all the aid consistent with neutrality.
Having been informed by a British officer
that the Admiral was dangerously wounded,
Captain Tatnall went in barge to visit him,
when, within few feet of the Comorant, a
round shot struck the boat, killing the cox
swain, Mr.. Hunt, of Brooklyn, New York, and
slightly wounding Flag Lieutenant Trenchard.
They reached the Comoram before the boat
was entirely sunk. ...r-
Captain Tatnall says that the Chinese COM
missioners had previously notified Mr.. Ward
of their arrangements, and requested him to
accompany the British and French Ministers
to Peiho. To this he consented, thereby to a
certain extent assuming the platform with the
| latter. ".' .-.N ~.
Tho sincerity Of tho commissioner was much
doubted at tho time.

Discovery OF MORE MAMMOTH TREEs.-A
grove of mammoth trees, even larger than
those of CaIaveras, which have become so cele-
brated as California wonders, has been discov-
cred in an unfrequentcd part of Mariposa
County. The largest tree in the Calaveras
group was one hundred and five feet in circum-
ference. In this more recently discovered
grove, a tree was found measuring one hundred
and fourteen feet in circumference. The grove
contains six hundred Of these monsters-none
others of them, perhaps, quite that largembut
all of them of approximate proportions; Inese
trees grow on the south fork of Merced River,
about thirty miles southeast oil the town Oh
Mariposa. One of the trees, one hundred feet
from the ground, has circumference OF sixty
six feet, and branch measuring eighteen ieet
in circumference.

A Gigantic Swindle.

IN our own country swindling operations
arc occasionally heard of, and that in the
case of the New Haven Railroad will long
be remembered. In England also there has
been some marvellous demonstrations OF
financial ability, and now in Scotland there
is q case which is attracting much attention.
In l773 there was established at Carron q
company for the production Of iron from the
ore, and its manufacture into different arti-
cles. They not only made CRATES, stoves and
other articles of domestic use, but also i'm
plcments of war. The original capital was
only 10000, raised by shares of $3.50. AS
evidence of the prosperity of the company,
it is said that in lS47 600 was not an ade-
quate price for share. BY some manage
ment the control of the company was kept
in the Dawson family until the year 1850.
1t is now alleged that this family took such
good care of their own interests as to neglect
that of the company.
1t is claimed by the prosecution that they
"cooked" the accounts-that they put tho af-
fairs of the company in false light. They so
managed the balance sheets as to mako the
result bad when it was in reality good, their
object being to get as much stock as possible
in their own hands. 1t is said that since 1913
the accounts of the company have never been
properly examined that the profits have been
Systematically understated, and every thing
done to mako the stockholders believe that tho
business was not hourishing. The Dawsons so
managed this that between 1929 and 1888 the
annual amount of profits retained from the
stockholders was G17,O0O. The consequence
was that the shares Of the Company went
down instead Of up, and the Dawsons always
conrived that some member Of their family
should purchase the shares offered for sale.
Unlike other swindlers, tn ey did not wish to
represent their company as successful when IT
was not so, but they wished to conceal its
fiourishing condition. Well, things won't on
pretty smoothly, tho shareholders now and
then asking for accounts, until finally dis
sension took place in the Dawson family. The
consequence of this was that after the death of
Mr.. Joseph Dawson in 1850, the sum OF
E3l6, 900 was accounted for tho company by
tho other members Of the family.
The allegations against the Dawsons are
made in suit against the company brought
by shareholder, who in tho year 1857 sold
twenty shares at the rate Of 300 per share,
and which were bought by the Dawsons. Bo-
lieving, from the developments made since tho
sale, that he was induced to sell his shares
upon the mis-. statements Of the officers Of the
company, tho shareholders wish the sale an
nulled, and to be replaced in his original posi-
tion. The whole affair is unprecedented, and
whatever may be tho issue, it would appear
that for a long term Of years the shareholders
were ignorant of ths financial position Of the
company. The moral likely to be drawn from
tho proceedings of the Dawsony, is one similar
to that drawn from the Schuyler case.-M. Y.
oomDerriol.

The West End-The Street Railroads.

We advise our mechanic readers to avail
themselves, in time, Of opportunities TO pro-
cure themselves comfortable homes cheap on
the outskirts of the city-particularly in the
West End. The day is not far distant when
the corporation of Cincinnati will extend to
Cumminsville-and VIC now favor the enlarge
mont Of the boundarics-and, as sure as you
are reading and we writing, there will be a
thrifty population Of great numbers before
many years on both sides of q street railroad,
which will be travelled by commodious cars up
tho Mill Creek Valley toward Carthage. Sc
cure for yourselves now, isl the advice of the
PENNY PREss,a spot Of ground for home,
and access to it before another year will be as
easy as it now is for one working down town
to reach Freeman street. All is not revealed
to us, but the glimpses that we catch of the
future greatness of Cincinnati; lead us to watch
its dawning in the West End.
