THE proprictors of the Santa Rita saw
mill have met with another misfortune. A
month or so ago the mill was burned; two
weeks ago tomorrow, the lumber IN yard
was burned. How much was lost, and how
it happened, we did not learn.
SPEAKING of local productions, &C., the
idea of importing lard to Arizona is folly.
! Gen. Allen himself has at his mill and on
his ranch over seventy hogs ready to kill,
which will dress on the average over 200
mounds each. and he has had made large
number of cans for properly preserving
! the lard. Where corn is so easily grown,
pork in no shape should be imported.
THE weather has been cold of nights,
and clear and delightful every day during
the past week. It cleared off Saturday
night, and Sundays sun discovered the
mountains in every direction whitened low
down with snow, and it was 10th to leave :;
in short, much of it on the higher Santa
Rita SUBMITS will keep its grip until the
middle Of next year. Last weeks rains
have made getting about on foot quite sat
isfactory: teamsters are set back peg
the farmers could dc without perhaps but
would prefer more, which the white frosty
mornings are said to indicate.
DECEMBER, with its long chilly nights,
and scant amusements; duck, deer and
pork hutchering, etc, during the short
days, is thus happily described in Josh Bill
lings's Farmers 'AlmanaX:'

Murder geese and ducks that quack,
Chop down wood and sasSage make,
And evenings play-Hylojack."

REV. Mr.. Cook, of Chicago, arrived via
Santa Fe, on Monday last. He came in
from Apache Pass with Mr.. belong, and
was the guest Of Col Dunno, until he left
for the Pimo Indian settlements, where he
hopes to establish schools under the aus
pices of the Acknowledgment Church.
He conferred with the Governor, compared
notes, &c Said he had been five years
among the wild ones Of the Great West,
and he appears like practical man. He
finds want of books and things generally
=. here to commence with. We hope our
ella friends will extend him all the courte-
sizes possible-introGuc him, &c.
FTEIGHT teams for the week, as follows
Andy Sheen, with four large mule teams,
arrived on Wednesday with $4,000 pounds
of mostly butter and cheese for Govern.
ment, and on the return took along Is, DOC
pounds grain raised about Tucson. This
5 is significant item in favor of patronizing
the ella route; teams returning to Sono-
RI take no Arizona grain. Several loads

on the Sonoita :. Quite q number of carts
arrived with chickens, cheese, corn, etc,
