FIGHT WITH THE INDIANs-The Mesilla
(Arizona) Times OF the 18th inst, publishes
the following account of fight with the In
dians on the Rio Miembres:
Recently at the Pine Alto mines not less
than so head of stock have been stolen bv
the Indians. A company of rangers was
formed to rid the country of the thieves, and
the following is the report of the expedition
and of a bloody encounter given by the COM
mander, Captain Tivis;
Left Pine Alto on Sunday, the ID inst, for
Halls Ranch about 10 miles from town, from
whence eleven head of stock had been taken
the night before An organization was there
! formed by appointing James Ii. Tivis. cap
tain; Capt Z. T. Jordan, lst Lieut., and La
fayette Lane 2d Lieut. The trail or the tracks
of the stolen stock was then taken, and fol-
lowed in the direction of the Rio Miembres.
On the second day out (Mondav) about II
o'clock, the Rangers, numbering 25 men.
came upon a rancharilla near old Fort Web
ster, which they surprised.
A desperate fight ensued, in which both
Americans and Indians fought bravely. Not
withstanding the superior numbers of the
Indians, the Rangers succeeded in killing 81
or %, wounding great many, and taking II
prisoners. while only one white man was
wounded. Mr. Fulton was the gentleman
who was wounded; his wound am happy
to say, is only slight and no inconvenience
will be experienced from it. Capt, Tivis also
received an arrow in the coat collar.
! The Indians, after the fight became too Sc
rious for them. retreated across the noun
tains, and nothing was seen of them until
next morning, when about 300 warriors
made their appearance on the same hill over
which the routed party made their retreat
the evening previous. The Indians immedi>
ately hoisted the white flag, when Captain
Tivis sent over one of the prisoners to ascer-
tain what was wanted, who soon returned
with proposition from the Indians to de-
| liver over all the stock taken from the mines
in return for the prisoners This proposition
was agreed to by the Rangers, but before the
exchange could be cOnsqmmated Lieut.. Mar
madulle arrived at Fort Webster, with a
company of U. s. troops to protect the set
tiers on the river The Rangers then made a
treaty with the U. s. authorities, Ly which
the prisoners were delivered over to them,
to be kept until the Indians complied with
their agreement.
The party then returned and diebandad
temporarily, but are not disorganized and
will be on hand whenever their services are
required. | will state that they recovered
considerable stock belonging to persons resi-
ding in the mines.

"Now that President Mora and Gen. Cafias
have been murdered, and Montealegre and
his government are not bound together from
fear of them, they are quarreling among
themselves. Gen. Castro, who was one OF
the principals in the conspiracy against Mora,
Is now at swords point with Aguilar Secre-

spectres, vampires and gobins are seen at
night on the Chicago Burlington and Quin-
cy Railroad. The Burlington Hawkeye is
responsible for the following: The queer
sights at night on the Chicago and Buring-
ton Railroad continue. An engineer on the
road says that as he was approaching Gales
burg, a few nights since, lie suddenly saw
woman standing upon the track, about ten
feet ahead of the engine. The train was at
full speed and of course could not be stopp-
ed. The engineer remarked to the person on
,he engine, that that was the first person he
had ever killed during his railroad expert
ence Arriving at the depot, he sent men
with lights back to the spot where he saw the
woman, but no sign or trace of anything
was there. There was no body, no blood, no
marks upon the track. Next morning the
search was renewed with no success. 1t is
said that lights have been lighting several
acres of land with the brilliancy OF noon
day.

New CROPs To DE TRIED.-There are many
articles of great value that in a climate like
ours and such a variety of soil could be raised
with great profit. We do not think proper
attention has yet been paid to many articles
that will yet become great staple products of
our soil. Among those we would name hemp.
flax, cotton, tea, sugar, coffee, and rice. be.
sides many kind of tropical fruits, which we
think with judicious care, and in the right
section of our State, can and will succeed and
prove profitable to our citizens.
That hemp and flax will grow there can be
no doubt. Cotton has been grown and beau
tiful samples shown. The tea plant will do
well in proper localities; the sugar cane must
succeed and rice can be grown without any
doubt, and coffee also. But in order to have
such great and valuable products introduced
and successfully grown. we need the parental
care and fostering hand of our Legislature ;
and we hope that n suitable demonstration
will be made the present session of our Leg
islature, so as to awaken an interest on their
part to these important subjects in the mean
time let all our agriaulturists not only think
but act, and experiment, and show what can
be done.-CdL. Farmer.

How Peter Gray did fall in love
All with a nice young girl,
And how she loved him back again,
Did Llzzianny Querl.
When they were going to be wed
Her father he said "Nol"
And and cruelee did send her off
Beyond the Ohio.
When Peter found his love was lost
He didn't know what to say;
He'd half mind to jump into
The Susquehan-i,a.
But he went trading to the west,
With furs and other skins,
And there was cru'lee murdered
By bloody Inii-ins.

And mover did get off of it
Until she dii-ed.
