The Burglars Alarm.

run in there. They are so many post

For after the "alarm" is set, the opening
OF any window, door, or scuttle, starts
off a bell, against which lever hammer
plays with an incredible fury. One nav

and church bells, and engine bells, and
breakfast bells, and college bells. first
bells, second bells, and last bells, but he
might as well have heard nothing at all,
If he has never heard my Burglar Alarm

My experiences may amuse others more
than they did me. Among the first teats
which it performed, soon after it was
erected, was TO ring out an unexpected
greeting to caller. The machine had
been set for the night. Twas, to be

astohished, The girl more so, and 7, right

the head of the stairs, "Shat that door

reception, stepped hastily back, as if

CAMP VERDE, ARIZONA TERRITORY,
t-.a. ... September 20, 1869,

On Saturday last, the 18th inst, a
small party from this post visited place
kcalled "Alontezltma WE'LL" situated on
Beaver creek, about eight miles distant.
| The well is about one hundred yards
back from the stream, upon high isola-
ted mesa, and is abOut one hundred and
twenty y-five yards in width, and about
one hundred feet down TO the water,
which is surrounded by perpendicular
walls OF rock. II. .-.. ,...--.
The water is very clear, OF q light
green OF blush coior, and is very strongly
| inpreguated with lime, sulphur, soda,
iron, aud other minerals. 1t has no vIsi-
BILE inlet, but its outlet is by subterra-
mean passage at a point nearest Beaver
creek, into which it empties large vol
ume of wafer. .r-
The whole country between the Sierra
Prieta and the Moyallon ranges of noun
tains is q limestone formation, and full of
caverns, some OF which are quite exten-
sve, as was shown by The results of the
days explorations. --... -- e.. ...-..,
All along the bluffs of the Rio Verde
and Beaver creek, wherever these caves
exist, they are found to have been the
dwelIpg-places of a race of people which
has long since passed away, and about
which not even mythology tells tale;
but it is generally supposed that they
are OF very ancient character-as old,
and probably older, than the Aztecs Of
Mexico. . I'i ta."'I ,ii
1t is certain that the present aboriginal
occupants of the territory are Of Q differ
ent race altogether, and from their fierce
aud warlike character,it is supposed that
they are the destroycrs of this industri-
ons agricultural people, which they seem
ed to have been, and who certainly were
deserving of a better fate. .' ~ -
T The object Of the expedition was to
explore the caves and ruins by Which the
place is surrounded, and asceYtain II pos
sible the depth of @ater 10 the well.

Controversial Lecture by tho Rev. Father
Gross.
In the Church Of st. Gabriel last evening Tie Rev.
Father Gross, of the Congregation Of tho Holy
Redesmer delivered controversial lecture 10 very
large and attentive audience. He set out with the
principle that no class OF Protestants could make
On act Of faith and this because Of the weakness OF
tnclr groundwork OF belief. Protestants say they
take their faith from the BDe. They should there
fore be able TO read the Bible, not IN admittedly
imperfect English version, but In the orig
nal Greek and Hebrew versions 1t was SAID
of Iuther'S translation that IL was more
remarkable for the purity OF the German diom tnan
for ia accuracy otherwise. Luther admitted he had
added words not found In the original, and rejected
the Eptssle OF st. James as ian episte OF straw"
He denied hat all ordinary men can understand the
Bible know when the inspired writer was literal
and when merely ngUratiye. Hence the Gudless
varieties OF opinion among tho different classes Of
Christians following the principle OF private judg.
ment An authoritative interpreter Yves plainly
necessary. That interpreter was tie Catholic
