Pay of School Trustees.-In last Saturdays
Bird. we notice quite lengthy communication from
Messrs. Samson and Yaryan, former members OF the
old Board, in regard to the payment of $500 for
vices rendered by Mr.. Hadley of the Board
and also as Treasurer. As we heretofore expressed
opinion that the price paid Mr.. II. little
enough in comparison to the services rendered,
feel it privilege to notice point made in the
communications alluded to- II ill be recollected that
the Superintendent, whom they say arganed to 60
great portion Of the work that Mr.. II. paid for
doing, was being paid at the rate of Nine Dollars
day. when the price paid Mr.. II. for labor. in
GLIDING compens alton for Treasurers services
not quite two dollars per day! Taking the compen
ton the per diem scale the latter is much cheap
than the former.
We also notice array of extracts of letters
from different places, bearing upon the compensa-
ton OF School Trustees, is published all differing
in amount. This lack of uniformity an paying for
similar services, only goes to show a difference in
the judgment OF those who afix the price; hence
the argument is not . good aga inst the case
Lere. If the allowance here depends on the prac-
tice of other places, we suggest that our City au-
thorities take New Albany farer sample than
those cited by Messrs. s. and Y. letter from
of the School Board of that city, which is now
before US, states that the "Board of Trustees re-
ceive jointly one thousand dollars, which sum is
divided among the Trustees in proportion to the
an cunt OF services rendered" .-t

COMPANIES B and L. Eighth U. s. Cavalry, got back to Fort Whipple on the night of the 18th instant, after hard scout through the country to the north of Prescott. The fol- lowing ofiicerN were in command of the troops: Major Clendenin, commanding officer at Fort WhipPle, Major Wade, Captain of B, and Captain Hobart of L. Ed w. Peek acted as guide. But few Indians were seen by the command, and these were perched upon high mountain tops, where 1t was impossible to get at them. At one place the Indians came within range of the carbines, were fired upon, and it is believed, one of them was killed. The country travelled over is said to be very rough.

Surr FOR RAScH-Quite an interesting little land case came up here in the Probate Court, before Judge Brooks, last week. Some time ago, Win. Osborn, a dweller on the Lower Agua Trio river, in this county, took q trip up Ash Greek, saw a pretty piece of land and, of course, called it hs. He re- turned home, and soon thereafter, with team, wagon and blow, started back to his claim, went to work and turned up several furrows. He then returned to Agua Frio satisfied that he had done enough work upon bis claim to 'shold it,n and that no one would interfere with it, but bis calculations proved erroneous, for. a short time thereafter, John X. Che nowth happened to see the same piece Of land, fei in love with it st first sight and in the name of himself and partner, w. D. Fen ter, fruze to it and commenced ploughing it up. Hearing of this, Mir. Osborn went in hot haste to bis loved patch, explained 10 Mir. Chenowth how he was interfering with Us (0sborn's) rights, and requested him to se- quester himself and property from of the premises. This, Mir. Chenowth did not see fit 10 do Some sharp words ensued, but Chenowth remained in possession. NIT. Os- born hastened to town, brought suit for forci- ble entry and detainer, jury was impan- nelled, witnesses examined and the case ably argued by Judge John A Rush, on one side, and Captain J. ?. Hargraye on the other. The first jury could not and did not agree; they were discharged and nav jury summoned which decided the case for Chenowth Fen ter, who now hold possession of the land. Mir Osborn talks of bringing suit for title to tbe land, but we think compromise will be effected

TnE BALL AT FoRr WHmPLE When Reed, the sulphuret man, thought be had conquered ye sulphuret, he exclaimed to few citizens of Prescott who stood around him, Gentlemen, this is the happiest mo- ment of my life, ,' and smiled (not died), we were present and felt happy, too but the happiness felt by us on that occasion was but as a pain pang in comparison to that which filled our soul Wednesday evening last, si Fort Whipple, while watching lovely women and brave men moving gracefully in the stately quadrille, or whirng dexterously in the 'giddy mazes' of Mazourkes, Schotiisches, Waltzes, Polkas etc, tn hall carpeted with the whitcst of canvAs, brilliantly illuminated, clusters of sabres and bayonets, stacks of bright shining muskets and pictures of great warriors. It was hard to decide which was the most beautiful--the dresses of the ladies, or thc decorations on the walls of the hall. Both were daz1lingly beautiful The gentle men, too, appeared to great sdysatagc in their fashionable, 10th century costumes, and smiled swceily on the ladies. The music was delicious, and The supper, that necessary ad- iunct to all parties, was really excellent In fact, everything connected with the baA was gay, sumptuous, and crcditable to those who gave it, and we hope to sce many more such pleasant military and civil reunions. We cannot close without rendering the thanks of the ladies and gentlemen of Prescott who had tho good fortune to De prrscn; and participate in the enjoyments oG the evening, to tbe ladics and gentlemen of the garrison, and hoping tha, the kindly feeling and respec; heretofore entertained by the citizens and military of this vicinity, for each other, viii be os. meuted more closely by the late happy re- uni9n.

Our Situation.

That times are hard, at present, in this yi- cinity, is plainly apparent, but that they will continue so for any great length of time, we do not believe. Various causes have com bined to render them -'hard," but the main, grand cause is the fact that our farmers can not, at present, sell the grain raised by them last year, in consequence ef which, many of them, especially those who are indebted to the merchants are depressed in spirits, gloomy and somewhat disgusted with the country. This is all perfectly natural, but would # not be better for them to keep ''astif upper lip, 7" and determine to live through it. We have the assurance of the Quartermaster at Fort Whipple that, before July next, Government will need and purchase every pound of grain for sale in this section of the county The people of Walnut Grove Sksll and Kirkland valleys will find sale for theirs at Wicken- burg, Camp Date Creek and at their doors, to tesmsters. Believing this, we see no good cause for despondency. Had Government taken the 800 tons contracted for at Fort Whipple, at 0nes, as our farmers expected it to do, it would have relieved their wants greatly, but as the authorities at San Fran cisco ordered the Quartermaster here to re- ceive grain only at such times and in such quantities as it was needed at the various posts in his sub-district, the or,ier has to ie complied with. If farmers are wise, they will draw lesson from this 'tightneSs" that will be of great benefit to them hereafter They should see the folly of planting more acres than they can attend to themselves, and then hiring poor hands for from s5O to s1O0 per month to help raise and harvest it. This Is what has put farmers in debt st the stores and what has crowded them generally. Another spring is close at hand, and we ad- wise each and every farmer to break and plant no more land than his own labor and purse will justify. In this way more grain will be raised to the acre, and the laborer and the merchant will not set you crazy by dunn ing you
 The prospects of the country never ap- peared better, the Sterling mine is q success, the placer mines of Black Canyon, and LyDx Greek are paying well, more troops are on the way here, and we look for good times soon. So, be of good cheer. farmers, live within your means, and you will soon be indepen- dent Of everybody. It is morally certain that we will soon have first class Touring mill in this vicinity, and we hope farmers will this year plant less corn and more wheat, for the country is bound to live under cloud so long as it's people have to pay from eight teen to twenty dollars hundred for imported four.

WALsuT GROVE THIsGs-Mr. W. c. Col Tier, an old citizen of Prescott, but who has been rsnehing q. Walnr. Grc-e for scme time past, sold his interest there recently to Charles Washburn and returned to Prescott one day this week. From him we learn that Mir. Lamberson's water mill was working away, making very good four, So was that of Mir. Cullumber. A party of miners from Wiekenburg, were prospecting the Plaoeritas, with view to working them, and another party were preparing to go to work on a quartz ledge. Both Mr. Lamberon and Mr. Callumber were preparing to run arastras by water power, and other farmers were taking of building wheels and arastras. T. " Brooks had contracted for furnishing the yul- ture Mining Company, of Wickenburg with s9,ooo ibs. If corn, and pack train of i0a animals was at the Grove when Mfr Collier left there, ready to commence packing the corn to Wickenburg. The citizens feel the want of a wagon road now more than ever and they are determined to have one to Wick. enburg. The peopleof that town have prom. ised to build one-half of the read, and the Grove people think they can meet them hall way. A letter from Allen Cullumber inform. ms that his new thresher, which be runs by water power, was working finely, threshing out wheat and barley.

THE MILITARY REs.RvE.-Lieut. Wheeler, of the Engineer corps, with one or two as- sistAnts, arrived at Fort whipple few days ago, for the purpose of laying of and survey ing the Fort Whipple Military Reserve. We do not know the exact number Of acres he proposes taking in for said purpose, but have heard it stated than an act of Congress fixes the size of reserves in this Territory at three miles square. If this be SO, some of our ranchmen will find themselves inside the lines of the reserve. A tract of land three miles square, running from the town line, would take in the whole of Whipple valley, and q part of Willow and Miller's valleys. In addition to this, we believe the post IS entitled to q wood ranch. Of course, settlers have rights which Government is bound to respect, and should their lands, houses, etc, be taken from them, they will be recompensed for them. Nevertheless, it will, no doubt, work great hardship to settlers.

FoR some unexplained reason, the laws passed by the recent Legislature have not yet been published, and officers and people are left in the dark as regards their provisions. This is not as it should be. Government al- lows ample funds to the Secretary of the Ter ritory to pay for printing the laws in some newspaper in the Territory, and they should have been laid before the people long ago.
 Had the session been held in Prescott the people would long since have known all about these new laws, for we would have published them even without pay. What a shame that the capital of Arizona, which claims nearly all the wealth and intelligence of the Territory, cannot support printing office capable of printing the journals of the Legislature and the laws. And yet this same capital town has the cheek to ask Congress 10 appropriate money to be squandsred there in building a mud house Co be styled the |" Capitol of ArizoHsr' and, with the aid of the delegate whom they have sent to Wash. ! ington, expect to get it But even should their prayer be granted it will do them but very ! little good, for Mccormick will sell to the | Government, for a capitol, his si0,0O0 CD mud house in Tucson, for three times it's value, put the money in hts pocket, and, as like as not, go to intriguing for the removal of the capital to some other point.
 ! Congress, however, knows better than to throw away money in this way. By looking at map Of tLe Territory it's members will see that Tucson is situate in remote corner of the Territory, cut of from tho white set dement's by long stretches of desert II is, too, the siekliest place in Arizona, and can never become place Of any importance.

ScHooL BfLL-The ArisoaiaH of a recent date, Is delighted with the school bill passed by the late LegislAfare.r IL compares the author of the law, Mr Chambers of Pima, to the iass Ths,l.le.ss Stevens. ghioh ls quite complimentary to Mir Chamber, but knocks the force out of the compliment thus paid iss worthy schoolmaster by saying that wers he school superintendent of it's county, he would hll the place with an eathasiaa, etc. Now, enthusiasm ia nothing more nor less than fan atheism, and VIC scarcely think the people cf Pima desire . fanatic to superin,end schools and school matters for them. But, to the bill. The paper in question says ii makes the Boards Of Supervisors Of the several coun- ties, Boards of Education; authorizes them to make school districts and 10 select books In each county, a, the next general election, a superintendent of schools shall be chosen by the people. This superintendent is to certify 10 the qualifications of persons applying to be | teachsss and have the general charge oi schools. He is to give bond of $500 10 the Supervisors before entering upon his duties | After the school districts arc established by the Supervisors, ,he people are to control them by annual meetings. One -fifh of one per cent. on all the taxable property in ths Territory is 10 be collected for school purpo- ses, and tue districts may raise an additional sum if they choose, but it shall not exceed one and one-half per cent per aRngm.r
 We have, so far, but one objection againsi this bill. IL strikes as that the Boards of su i pervisors could attend to all matters connect ed with schools in the respective counties without the aid of school superintendent until such time as population and property { increases. That's ali.

JonN CoUcH, the man who was attacked, shot and wounded by Indians, last week, near Lynx creek, will ,it is thought, recover. He had !. narrow escape, and but for laage dog which accotn panied him, would have fallen into the hands of the Indians. RollA, for that is the dogs name, charged on the reds, and occupied their attention while Mir. Couch succeeded in getting away from them. The Indians pursued him some two miles, and, VIC believe, were gaining upon him, when one of the horses broke loose from the traces. Mr. Couch secured him, unhitched the other, and started for Walkers Camp, head of Lynx Greek, where he arrived sick ard faint from loss of blood, and over exertion. The Indi- ans Fifed the wagon of it's contents, some two or three hundred dollars worth of pro visions, quicksilver, etc, belonging 10 II. W Fleury, and made their way east. Messu Cory, Behan and Dunn, the party that went out 10 the scene of the occurrence found tho ground around the wagon covered with tracks and there must have been many an Indian there. Next day, A. c.
