Age Of Cows.

Mr.. D. A. Philbrick, Of Hampton, N. H.,
informs us that he has COW that will be
twenty five years old in April. He ia con-
fdent there is no mistake about the age OF
the COW, because she was o bridal present
to the wife Of one of his neighbors, by whom
she was always we'll cared for. Naturally
enough she was kept here rs long as it was
thought prudent TO do SO, on account of her
age, when she was sold to tmerciful
man, After keeping her year or two,
his courage began to fail, although the COW
was to all appearance doing we'll, and she
passed into the hands of q third owner, who,
thinking that if she did fail soon she on ght
to do SO, sold her three years ago to Mr.
Philbrick for $l8. MIR. p. has since been
offered $50 for her as q mich COW, l2}o per
ID by the butter. For the last three years
she has given milk constantly, and although
she is to come in in April, gives two quarts
of milk per day now. To all appearance her
teeth are as good as those Of cows eight
years of age, rs she can cat the hardest corn
without trouble. She is kept without Eng
lish hay the present winter; being fed on
good fine meadow and block salt marsh hay,
and is in good condition. Mr.. Philbrick
says he intends to keep her, and see how
well she will do and how long she will live.

PRor. HAMILTON, the horso tanner, Of
Hagerstown, Ind, is an original genius, and
is as fond of joke at he is Of fresh air.
The other day on the train going home from
Cincinnati, he tried to raise window in
the car where he was sitting, but could not
mcve it He called the conductor to assist
him, but with no better result Instantly
he knocked the pane of glass out with bis
cane, saying, "Now we will have little
fresh air." "Sir," said the conductor,
you must pay for that" How much 7"
asked the professor. "One dollar" nm
swered the conductor. Prof. Hamilton
passed him two dollar bill. Tho con-
dnctor was about to hand him back dollar

his cane let Gods fresh atmosphere in

Mr.. Reynolds, clerk Of the Lookout
Mountain House. near Chattanooga, heard
screams issuing from the neig hborhood OF
one of the steep rocks on the summit Of the
mountain on Saturday. On reaching the
spot and leaning over, he discovered a
young lady hanging by portion Of her
clothes TO rome shrubs growing from fs-
sures in the rocks He let himself down
over the cliff, and by preternatural excr-
tions, relieved the young lady from her en-
barrassing aud perllous situation, and re-
stored her to her friends, safe, alive and
blushing.

reference to this subject, for information to those who may wish Co become interested in this quarter. This point was not decided upon by accident, as being the proper locality for city; but it was ascertained to be the spot. after many weeks exploring on both sides of the river Two different parties of Mormons, under the direction of their presi- dent, have designated this to he the place, after many weeks search from El Dorado Canon to the mouth of the Big Canon, one hundred and thirty miles above. The river has also been thoroughly explored by other part es. having an eye to the same trade, and al without dissenting voice, have reported favorable to Cal vile. One and half miles above Callyille commences Boulder Canon, six miles long, which in consequence of the numerous boulder bars in its centre, aud pro. jecting cliffs from it's sides, makes it danger ous and most impossible to pass through The Vegas Wash, which lies six miles down the river, was once thought the head of nayi- gation, but on exploring the country for ar outlet to the Salt Lake Road, it proved to b, an impracticable point, in consequence o having to cross a desert sixty five miles wide without water, and bad road, which is avery unpleasant thing in country where the thermomete' rises ll2- in the shade.

TIE NATIVE VOLUNTEERS.


 Colonel Poston, in his impotent rage, de. elared the letter of the Governor regarding the subjugaton of the Apache, and the rais- ins nf native regiment, improperly ad- dressed, and instantly hi. followers every where took up the cry. Thsseli-constituted critics who pretend to know much about the etiquette of the Governors office, evil dcntly know nothing of it. The Governors letter was addressed just where it should have been, to the highest evil authority in connection with the War Department. By him it has been passed over to Generals Grant, Ialleck and Mcdowell, and has we know been heartily approved by the last named. The attempt to make it out that the Governor in any way dispapged the American troops, is also absurd. This is the precise language he used:
 |" do not hesitate to say thai these native vol. untesrs, whOse hearts arc in the work, and who are at iomc tn the country, are the men Co hdnt tue Apache, to follow him from iastness to fast. ss, and, by concerted, continuous and harlss- iu- mOvements, from many points In the TeTrito- ~, Co lorce hun Co terms, Or, i necessary, 10 eX- hrm nae him TAat heg not oompdrab 70 hs rrguilTs tAe CdiitO tOrn r0iI0iteers, iH Hah respre's is conceded, bUt for hs rogk nl hand hey aye mach better adaPted hgn any troops Us hGre h1dm
 This the military authorities, and all our people who have given the matter any atten- ton, know to be the fact, and in attacking the Governor f his timely and very proper letter to Secretary Stanton, Colonel Poston and his adherents made one of their weakest points, for the Governor has written no doc unent in connection with Territorial affairs which is more generally and heartily ap proved by the people.
 The record of the Volunteers is excellent h our last we gave a report of their con duet at Skull Valley, which reflected great honor upon them. In their short time of service they have done more than all other truOps combined to kill off the Apaches, and have suffered more perhaps than other troops for supplies.
 In letter to the Governor, quoted in th- MiSER of August Sth, General Mcdowell says:
 !" I am exceedingly sorry tha; the expiration o the years service of the Arizona yolunteers is near at hand have written, and General Halleck ht. written. to have them retained, but hear noth iHs from Washington. 1 shai write again today Ifthe government vill only give authority to kecT a regiment Of Arizonians in the field for two years, will not require any more regulars than already have And am satisfied that long before then ieiin 0f service would 5C UT, yoG would Go' have hostile Indian in the country. Even as | Is the volunteers have done much toward th, subjggaiion or exterminaslon of the Apaches."

TIE NEW SECRETARY.

Colonel J. P. T. Carter, the new Secretary of the Territory, reached here on the Sd inst accompanied by Mrs. Carter. They came rio the Mohave road. Colonel Carter is from Efzabethton, Carter county, East Tennessee, where, at the beginning of the war, he was ex- tensiyely engaged in the manufacture of iron He took decided stand with the unionsts, and was obliged to leave the State with An drew Johnson and others, but soon returned and raised the first and second regiments of East Tennessee Volunteers. Taking command of the second regiment, in the Departments of the Cumberland and the Ohio, he psTtici- pated in the battles of Mill Spring, under Thomas; Stone River, under Rosecranes, and at the seige of Knoxville, under Burnside besides in many contests of less importance. He was once slightly wounded, and once cap tured, but escaped almost immediately.
 In politics he was, before the war, an old line whig, (slthough never an active politi- cian) and at this time he finds nothing to lessen his personal and political conf dence in Andrew Johnson, whom be has long known and esteemed Mrs. Carter is from Lexington, Kentucky, and with the Col onel, will form valuable addition to our so- ciety They are at present the guests of the Governor. The Colonel has been suffering from Panama fever, and chills and fever; but is rapidly recovering in our invigorating cli- mate.

STEAMBOAT ADAMS.

As every circus has its clown, so every community has its political bufToon, with whose antics the people amuse themselves in election times. The political harlequin of oi Arizona IS Steamboat Adams, and he has just gone through bis annual performance to admiring audiences, with more than usual success. No better evidence of the urpop- ularity of the other candidates for Delegate, can be shown than that this monouanac re- 'eiyed 36 votes for this office in Prescott. Wholly without character or credit, fluent in | b0mbastic stories which nobody believed. and known to stand no earthly chance of an cleo. tion, and to have no fitness for the position ' he nevertheless received this number of votes and left here for Salt River rio Mohaye thinking himself the greatest man in the Ter ! ritory. II any one who voted for him had done SO with thought of his success wt might be alarmed for the sanity of our peo- pie, but as all were bent on fun We will noi do mOre than say, that if fun cannot be had ont of Adams we do moi know where to find it in the Territory.
 While his election as Delegate is as remote as the running of steamers on Granite Greek ur the sailing of the Greai Eas,ern up the Has sayampa, we presume he will never fail be 6 candidate, and 10 have just such fabulous sto ries for our waiting ears as he had this year concerning his vote in the river counties. H. is not only an amusing, but harmless foo in polities, although on steamboat matters b, may have some intelligence, and we think h, has done good in calling attention to the i'm portance of navigating the Colorado to the highest point. If be would oonfine his at tention to running steamboats instead of run ming for Delegate, he might recover his req : -On and we assure him he will find fewer -nag, and quicksands in the Colorado than il the political streams of the Territory.

THE NEW POSTMASTER GENERAL

Hon. William Dennison, of Ohio, has re- signed the office Of Postmaster General, and Hon. X. W. Randall bas been appointed to the place. Mr. Randall succeeded Hon. Coles Bashford as Governor of Wisconsin, and has since been Minister to Rome and First Assistant Postmaster General
 He is noted as man of energy and decis- ion of character, and of much executive abii- ty. From his lively interest in the West we believe he will do more to favor mail facilities in the Territories than any of his predecess- ors. The niggardly policy as to establishing routes in the new countries followed by Blair, and too closely initiated by Dennison, will meet no encouragement from Randall. Moreover he IS in hearty sympathy with the President and his policy, and likely to have the warm support of the executive, and we think of Congress also, in carrying on the i'm portant duties of the great department of which he is made the head.
 We congratulate our people that gentle man os such pract cal sense and liberal views, and who has SO many personal friends in Ari- 'zona, is placed where he can and probably will do much to secure to us what we so much need, riz. increased and regular mail facili ties. MT. Randall has been confirmed by the Senate, and General Skinner, of New York long a faithful and efficient clerk in the Post office Department, ha. been confirmed by tho Senate as First Assistant Postmaster Gener al, to supply the vacancy oceasioned by th' appointment of Mr. Randall.

PAoIFIc RAILROAD PRoGRrss.-The Den yer Ga-s,H of July l7th gives some facts which further illustrate the rapid progress now making in the construction Uf the Pacific Railroad. That paper says that the Union Pacific Railroad was completed ou the 9th of July to point eighteen or twenty miles eaet Of Fort hearney, and that in two weeks the cars would be running 10 Kearny. Track laying was progressing at the Tate ol nine miles week. It is expected that the car. vii reach Denver, $50 miles west of Ft ke4rny, by the 4rh oi July, lS67.
