HonsE FLiEs.--This able bodied family of the ] Ny species are now buzzing in the mountains. and woe betidc the poor animals upon which they 1 light They generally pay us visit every June and remain for about two weeks This year. they are not so numerous as they were last year, but fully as hungry and blood-thirsty. As soon as the rains commence which we have every reason 10 hope, will be about the first of next month they will disappear.
 1 Scnooi~-Since April last there has been no school in Prescott (except the Sabbath school3 and great many citizens have requested us to | put our people in mind of the fact. It has been proposed to give Fourth of July Ball. the pro. cecds of which should be applied 10 the running of school, but certain it is that many persons are opposed 10 this scheme, for the reason that i they do not wish to mix up other matters with the observance of that day. The Fourth Lepis- lature passed an act empowering the Boards of Supervisors of the various counties to establish school districts, within their respective counties. Of not more than four miles square, and, also. ] to, upon petition of any number of the legal vo tcrs of q district, establish public school in such district and levy a tax of not more than one-half | of one per cent, on the assessed value of all the taxable property within the limits of each dis. ! trct They shall also select the site for public school and shall purchase build or hire school rooms They are the proper persons to take the matter in hand, and we have no; doub, that our citizens will aid them all they can in the matter. ' by donations of money, which, with ihe taxes | will be sufficient to keep school going in this district.
 lNDnSs.-Partes who have recently arrived here rom Camp MePherson. cay that the noun iains in that vicinity are filled with Indians We had talk with A. French and he is positive that they are Reservation Indians A party os soldiers. under the guidance Of Nr Sparks. re-. gently pursued band ol them. and succeeded in capturing three Indian women, who recogniz. cd Mr sparks, and called ;he names of several La Pas gentlemen. Afer the capture of the squaws, signal fires were built on the hill tops and the Indians appeared 10 be in great commo- ton. The women were captured near Willow Springs party of about 100 Indians bad crossed the road and were seen going in ;he di. rection of liacuavar mountain. l. is the general opinion Of our people ,ha; the depreda,lous com mitted in this county can be traced 10 these Req erya'ion Indians. and a storm is brewing 1T they cannot be kept on The Reservation. the people shonid be so informed, SO that they can be pre-. pared 10 guard against them.

 SnvERIuoRN's train was loaded with lumber. at Noyes & Curtiss' saw-mill for Mohave city. IL is to be used in the erection Of 6 large billiard. saloon which Ar Ravena Is having built al lhat place. There is plenty of timber nearer to Mo- have City and Hardyville than oGrs, but there is no saw mill there 10 make t into boards. The Quartz Mountain saw-mili, one mic south of Prescott is, we believe. the only saw.mill in the ! Territory, and furnishes the country round for miles with good lumber.

 DRuNED-P Prescott is now, pretty efcetaaly drained Of money. During the past tive months our traders have received large stocks of goods and the amount of money paid by them for freight on these goods is enorinOns. Just think of it, s-rieeR cents, Gin gold) per pound from San Francisco to Prescott, Why this tariff Of itself would crush ont any country, and some thing must be done 10 lower it. We can not stand il much lenger, it is enormous. Would b God that San Francisco would put on line of steamers between that city and the mouth of the Colorado, and it would have been done long ago but for the persistent efforts of scheming officials
