In short, may say that regard Arizona as an i'm

copper, and other valuable minerals, and decidedly
the best grazing country this continent capable
of subsistng millions OF cattle without the aid oil

WHO IS He ?-We find in the Harrisburg
Telegraph, of the 26th March. the following:
ssSEEING THE SIGHTS. "A jolly waterman
from Clearfied county, who visited the Capital
for the first time yesterday, in strollng about
town this afternoon, dropped into our sanctum
in search of Cleartied paper. Being social
and communicative, we engaged him in con-
versation, in the course of which he informed
us that last evening he fell in with an indiyid-
nal who represented himself to be from the
North Branch, and the owner of two or three
RATS. Rather prepossessed in the strangers
favor, and being anxious to ''see the sights,
he willingly accepted an invitation to accom-
Dany him around town tour of observa-

imbibed freely, until our Clearield visitor
accumulated more sEbricks in his hat" than he
was able to carry, becoming ''obfuscated', to
such degree as to render him a perfect

towards morning, he found himself occupy

door step of the tavern where he stopped.

and unon examination he discovered that his
Dockct book had vanished also. Having OBJ
tanned no clue to either during the day, he
concluded that he had been victimzed by his
companion of the night previous-''the owner
of two or three rafts." We concurred in that
opinion. and advised him, in his future visits
to Harrisburg, not to form acquaintance too
hastily with strangers. He said one nights
experience satisfied him, ana "he rather

A very fishy story is that told of ohm Frank
lin, of Litchfieid, Conn, that when his father,
on returning home from church, threatened 10
thrash John because he had gazed up at the
rafters of the frame church (not ceiied or
pIastered) the young scamp, after asking his
father if he could repeat the sermon, and de-
cidedly ceTnering the old gentleman, not only
himself named the text and went through all
the heads of discourse, accurately, but added
"and now father, can tell you just how many
beams and rafters are in the meeting house."
