POLICE CouRT.-There were several
cases yesterday In which the city Of
Wheeling manifested friendly solic-

citizens, and among others one or
two which had been carried over from
last week. Elizabeth Burket brought
up on a charge OF prostitution and
lewdness, was fined five dollars and
costs, which not being paid she was COM
mitted tojail for ten days. Peter Glue,
charged with prostitution, in default Of
liquidating a fine of the same amount,
was committed for ten days. Michael

when he was met near Pollock's Mills
on Market street by Joseph Donnevan.
Now 1t appears that Joseph bears upon
his nose the score of one OF MichaePs
"kisses, ;" and being somewhat infiamed
with liquor, expressed a desire to whip
the man who had inflicted 1t. Where
upon he struck Michael in the face and
was knocked down for his trouble.
Upon hearing the testimony his Honor
the Judge ordered the prosecution dis

liable for having defended himself from

arraigned under the same charge, dis.
orderly conduct, and did not escape SO

same as that given in the previous case,
clearly proved him to be the attacking

PROFITABLE SPECULATION We are in. formed, says the Davenport Gdzetts, that some enterprisng youngsters in one of our town ships who have an eye to business and the gopher bounties, are actually engaged in a gophery. It is said that the results of run ming this new branch of trade amply remune- rate the proprietors of this unique establish ment. They started with single pair, and in five weeks Mir and Mrs. Gopher were grand, great-grand, great-great-gr and so on more than forty times, parents. Then the boys went to the varmints and reduced them to a single pair again. The skins of the murdered ones were brought to the County Treasurer's office by the youngsters them selves, and boys they had employed for the purpose, and sold to the State for fifty cents each-a clean profit of fourteen cents per gopher
 No wonder five thousand gopher scalps were paid for last month, we'll wager a hat If that gophery isn't broken up, the country will be bankrupt in a year. Gophers arc worth fifty dollars per hundred. And three gopheries will yield thousands of the reptile: per month.

Gardner's Steam Drill.

The Lake Superior (Michigan) Miacr, of a recent date recommends the adoption, by miners, of the above named drill, describes it, and tells what it can do. If it can do one half what is claimed for it, it's use here in Arizona would be a great saving in money, time and hard labor. We quote from our namesake:
 "One of these machines has lately been brought to the country by the Ogima Mining Company. They are made under several patents granted to c. A. Gardner, of New York, and have been successfully employed in various public works, mines, etc. The blow is struck by the drill being drawn back by the cam compressing an lndia-rubber spring, which, expanding, projects it with great force; the number of blows per minute is only limited by the durability of the steel drill point. They have an automatic feed and turning motion and drill equally well at an angle. They arc supported in a tunnel or shaft, by setting out the screw of an expand ing pillar on which they are supported, thus bracing it firmly between the sides, or top and bottom.
 These machines are operated by hand, horse power, steam or compressed air. Machines with fOur morse power engines uTlllng lout to six inches diameter blast holes, four six and eight feet per hour.
 The immense saving, as well in cost of la- Dor in drilling as in time, will readily be con- coived; but it will be better appreciated when we state, that, in mining operations the cost of drilling with these machines is but one-tenth that of hand labor, and that in six months a shaft of GOO feet depth can be sunk requiring by hand-work four years.
 The trial of the drill on the Ogima prop erty was very satisfactory and clearly proved that they are one of the cheapening procesSe, which it is desirable should be introduced into our copper mining A two-inch hole ten inches in depth, was bored in seven anC one-half minutes, in hard rock. This coulC hardly be called fair test as to what the ma chine could do, because the diameter of tn, hole bored was much greater than actually required on Lake Superior. It is contendeC that an inch a minute can easily be bored. l such is the case, and we know of no reasol why it should not be, then we most earnestl, call upon the mining corporations of 0ntona gon county, and of the Upper Peninsula, t do as the ogiIna have done, 'order one imme diately.'n

GENERAL LEE AS A COLLEGE PREsiDENr.-' Dr. Bagby writes as follows to n paper in Lexington, Va, in regard to Gen. Lee: Here it will be in place to relate that, on my re- turn from Lexington gentleman in the coach expressed the fear that Gen. Lees kindness of heart and his desire to enlarge the college might, perhaps, make him too leuient and, possibly. lower the scholastic standard To quiet his fears, told him what had been told me few days before by clergyman resid- ing in Lexington.
 Gen. Lees office said he, is no sinecure. His work taxes to the utmost his powerful constitution He registers in his mind not only the faces but the names of the four hun dred and ten students. Nor is that all. He can tell you the standing of each student in the several branches which he studies, and any neglect of duty is promptly punished.'
 Punished 7 l exclaimed.
 Yes. said he, in Gen. Lees own way.
 How is that v inquired.
 Well, not long since young friend of mine, who is in the college, confessed to me that he had been, as he expressed it, hauled up'-that is. he had received message to the effect that the President desired to see him in his office.
 Did Gen. Lee lecture you7'
 No indeed'
 Did he scold your
 Scold I only wish he had. He talked to me so kindly that he nearly broke my heart and you dent catch me in there again, tell you
 That is Gen. Lees way, not like Stone wall Jacksons, but quite as efIectual in col lege as was Jackson's in the army. If we add to this personal supervision of each indi- vidual student, the labor of correspondence Ia great deal of which cannot be taken of his hands), and other duties, we may under stand how it is that the report which went the rounds of the papers a few months ago of the Generals failing in health, should have gained credence. He has improved very much of late, but does not preseat that robust appearance to which our eye was ac customed during the war

A NEW HYBRID FRuIT-Under this head the editor of the Rio Virgen Times of the 22d ut. says: "We have now finely ripened an entirely new hybrid fruit, cross between the wall cherry and wild plum. The tree is dwarf, slender and erect, resembling most the plum-leaves long and narrow. Buds readily on the peach, is wonderfully prolific and bears second year from the bud-in dense masses of fruit, which is nearly round {; red, D to 3 inches in circumference, resem- bles cherry, has a grateful sub-acid taste, fresh, crisp and juicy, and ripens between the apricot and peach.
 This fruit will be valuable addition to the garden or orchard, and as it is easy and quick of propagation, it will soon be found in every collection of fruit"

THE most ludicrous thing to which the po- litical campaign has as yet given rise is the effort of Greeley to prove that Gov. Seymour was an original secessionist. That, if true, would be terribly afiiicting to Greeley, who said, on the ninth of November, 1860, that he hoped "never to live in Republic whereof one section is pinned to another by bayo- nets, !" and in February following, that as soon to torcdrd aisiy 0ieEs. Greeley is trying to make himself appear respectable by claim ing that he was in respectable company. The attempt will fail
