DARING ADVENTURE james Gray
don, Of the Sonoita Valley, accom-
plished, few days since, one of the
most successful fcats in border stratc-
gy that have taken place in Arizona.
He accompanied DR.. Irwin of Fort
Buchanan, who was summoned to the
aid of the wounded men at Apache
Pass, and while crossing the playa de
las Pimas, they saw herd of cattle,
apparently about two miles ahead,
crossing toward the Dos Oabezas.
Mr. Graydon, who was well mounted,
left the Surgeon with his escort, and
rode forward at full speed. AS he
drew near the herd he discovered that
there were twenty head of cattle, driv-
en- by three Indians Two of the IN
dams were mounted. When they saw
Mr. Graydon they made every effort
to escape with their plumber but the
dismounted Indian took position be
tween his comrades, and grasping q
stirrup Of each, thereby not only i'm
peded their progress, but caused the
whole party to stick in the miry plas. a,
and fall an easy p. ey to their captor-
By using little strategy, he detained
them till the escort came up, when
they were secured, and he entire herd
of animals fell to him as prize. The
Indians were Coyoteros, and are now
prisoners at Apache Pass They say
that four Mexican women are prison
ers with their tribe, and offer to ran

The annual troubles about the shad
poles in New York Har0or are om-
mencing. On the New York side of
the line separating that State from
New Jersey, the poles are prohibited,
but the jersey fisherman have set down
large numbers in our side of the water
The value Of the poles and nets torn
up last year, and year before, and Civ
en- to the mercy of the waves by tire
Harbor Commissioners, was. many
thousand dollars and several fisher
men of small means lost all their prop
erty by violating the law. The large
operators who havs from 500, 900 to
$4,000 invested in shad fisheries, are
careful to keep in Jersey waters, or
in those shallow portions of New York
waters (six feet at mean low tide)
where shad fishing is allowed. Quar-
antine, Gravesend Bay, and the Jer-
sey waters opposite and below Castle
Garden, are the favorite grounds for
fishing.

leans Delta says that the communica-
tion between the Red River and the
Mississippi is being gradually cut off.
The former is taking itself off to the
Gulf by way of Atchefalaya into Ber-
wick's Bay. Unless something is done
to prevent the Red river from sece-
ding, New Orleans will lose q large
amount of valuable traffic. A COM
pany is talked Of to keep the channel
open. 1t is thought it viii cost

This secession is bad business.
