Postal Errors.

The unfortunate mistakes made by somebody in the handling of the mail bags and our remarks thereon are eliciting explanations, and we regret to say more counter charges than any, thing else. Complaints are now made against the Maricopa, Sanford and Tucson offices. Cur remarks last week about the Sanford one may be unjust, but they were based on a letter by parties of some responsibility. Until this week, we were not aware that one Dr. Dumont had ceased to manage that office. From many sources, we some time ago became convinced not only of his incompetency but unfitness in general for the place, and hence the severity of our remarks-as none other would likely touch the raw. We have no desire to too harshly criticise anyone, but experience has long since taught us that truthful severity alone would produce effective reforms-as witness the RoweIl and Reavis and kindred cases.
 After all, it is a damaging fact which we wish had no existence and pever may be repeated, that once mail bags which did start west were re- turned, and the very same ones were Iagain sent from here and returned a fecond time; also, that very lately the same operation was once repeated to the manifest injury of this con- munity; and that 1t was hardly pos sible for the said bags to have reached the Maricopa office before taking the back track. We further believe that in neither case were the mistakes made purposely; but they were made. and that's what's the matter. We know this community hope they will not occur again. We have a belief that the Tucson office is exceptionally we'll conducted. =

Arrival of the 23d Infantry.

On the 24th instant, Major Alex. J. Dallas, Twenty third Infantry, en route to assume command of Camp Apache, arrived at this place. Major Dallas left Arizona City on the 7tn instant with four companies; one of which (H, Captain James Thompson has already reached its station, as stated in the Grant items Of the re- maining companies. E. Captain (Brt. It. Col.) George K. Brsdy, takes sta ton at this post Camp Lovely. F, Captain Joseph T. Haskell, leaves next Monday for Camp Bowie, where it takes post. D, Captain Thomas M. K. Smith, has already left for its des- tination, Camp Crittenden. One con- pany co was still at Fort Yuma when Major Dallas left. It has before this, however, obtained it's transportation and is we'll on its way to Camp Me Dowell, its future post. Its comman- der is Captain John L. Smythe.

TIE Arizona Sentinel of the 23d says that few days previous, James Lester shot and killed man at An telope Peak, and that he gave himself up to the authorities and upon exam ination was discharged on the ground of acting in self defense; also that the stage was fired into without any damage, near Antelope Peak, on the 18th instant; also, that I. Reavis was running g. Court; also, that the proprietor of The Sentinel was in nc manner responsible for the contracts and acts of the "arrant vagabond " who run but in nowise owned The Free Press, and most sensibly ayers that he does not know nor care how he stands with the said arrant vaga- bonds "friends."

PERSONAL. - Francis A. Crook, a nephew of the General, arrived in Tucson from Prescott, last Saturday, with Lieutenant W. J. Ross, Henry Hewitt and John Hart. He is young in years but full of good sense, with all the advantages and none of the fooleries of 8 fine education in this country and Germany. He is paying special attention to mining matters and prospects, and has recently spent two years in Utah and Colorado in the higher practical operations of mining
 P. R. Brady, Esq, has been spend ing few days in town this week. He informs us that the Gila neigh borhood is very quiet with less appearance of trouble than for years. The crop prospects are good, as we'll as the mines tributary to the Florence and Sanford settlements. The theft of an- imals, noted elsewhere, was serious loss, but not enough to stop earnest work. Ore is being shipped to San Francisco.

The CurculiO.

A correspondent who has been study
ing the habits of this destructive insect
to fruit-particularly of the plum family
gives the public the benefit of his
investigations and experiments.
The curculio is small beetle similar
to the pea bug, which conceals itself on
the ground in daylight, ascends the
trunk of the tree at night and punctures
the green fruit with an instrument like
the sword of the locust attached to its
ovipositor and lays an egg in each pune
ture, which matches the worm that
destroys the fruit Wool-the coarse
refuse parts are as good as any-satur-
ated with fish or coal oil and placed
round the body of the tree on the ground
and kept in place by boards, will effect
ually prevent the curculio from ascend
ing the trunk of the tree Fish oil is
the best; coal oil is injurious to the
tree, if too much is used about the root.
The curculio will be found concealed
under the boards in the morning and
can be dispatched. Our correspondent
says he has succeeded perfectly by this
means in preventing the depredations of
this destructive insect on his plums. A
very small quantity of coal oil will not
injurc the tree and will prevent the
beetle from ascending the trunk; but
he recommends fish oil and wool as the
safest and best Salt is to be avoided,
as very small quantity placed about
the root of a tree will kill it.

Agricultural Clubs.

The Mark Lane Express thus speaks
of agricultural advancement and club
discussions in England: q
"There is nothing more noticeable
when reviewing the progress of agricul-
ture during the last quarter of CEN
fury than the improvement which has
characterized the conduct of our public
meetings or social gatherings. There
was a time when the long clay-pipe, the
somewhat boisterous stave, and the
hot stopping We're regarded as the
chief inducements for getting farmers
together. But these days have grad
ually passed away, and, with some
experience of other large assemblies, we
are inclined to think that nowhere will
men, as a rule, keep closer to the point
or carry themselves more becomingly
than the occupiers of land when they
draw into focus at society's show or
club discussion. More information
has been disseminated, more intelligence
developed by such means than through
any other cause which could be spoken
of. BY the further aid of good relia-
bic report, this system of mutual adval-
tage comes to be almost infinitely ex-
tended. Many a man who would fight
shy of royal essay, although he found
the pages ready cut ; to his hand, will
eagerly turn to see what his next-door
neighbor had to say, or some more
famous agriculturist to offer on the
merits of the principle under considera-
ton"

CUTTING AND CURING HAY.-Mr r.
Goodman, in an article on this subject
in the Massachusetts Ploughman, says:
D." 1t would seem as if by this time we
should understand sufficiently the theory
and practice on these two subjects to
be able to dispense with further discus
sions. But their magnitude is such
that, like the celestial bodies, some new
phase is continually presented and new
theories thereby evoked, and it is only
when the test of actual experiment is
applied that critical observer can be.
come satisfied. As to the time of cut
ting grass for hay, the testimony of the
farmers in Massachusetts, was drawn out
some dozen years ago by the action OF
the State Board of Agriculture, and it
was emphatically that timothy and red
top should be cut when in full bloom,
and red clover when about half the
heads are in blossom"

SooT.-Although almost ever since
agriculture has been practiced and that
we believe is ever since the creation of
the world, SCOT has been known to be a
valuable manure, and vet in the 18th
century there are hundreds of farmers
who cannot be persuaded to believe this.
1t is really as valuable as guano. Take
a hogshead of water, and dissolve in it
twelve quarts of SCOT, and YOU will have
a splendid liquid manure for plants
Apply to the roots of course, and then
watch the results.

W Soap-suds should never be vast
ed. 1t is well to have grape-vines
planted so that the waste liquids from
the house can he used to fertilize them.
If there is any food the vine especially
loves, it is the soapy liquids which ac-
cumulate on washing days in families.
Vines drenched every week with these
liquids will flourish astonishingly, and
extend themselves so as to cover large
buildings, every branch bearing fruit.
A distinguished Ohio horticulturist
says that his family of ten persons eat
ton of grapes, fresh and canned, dur
ing the year, and he thinks that not
only does it pay in the matter ofhealth,
but also in the saving of grocers' bills
through the diminished desire for pas
tries and other rich food.
