CROOKS CAMPAIGN.

/ AbAMsVILLE, Dec. IS, lS72.- The Pimas and Maricopas, 100 strong left this place some ten days since op scout in Pinal mountains, to recapture ten horses taken from them by the Apaches. < part returned two days ago, but the larger portion still continued the pursuit, and were successful in 'jumping''a rsncheria of Finals and TOntOs. They killed seven bucks, and captured a boy and girl; also got $25 in greenbacks, fifteen yards new calico, ten yards of manta and other stuff and trin- kets. The carcasses of two Amer ican horses were found at the place which were slaughtered lately. One was bay and the other gray.
 On returning, they heard a heavy firing which they believed to be by enc of Crooks commands. In this they were correct, as re- liable information was yesterday received from Mcdowell that Lieut.. Garvey's command had re- turned and reported that on last Sunday morning they attacked rsncheria, supposed to be Del cha's, and himself in it, and that they killed twenty-six bucks and took five squsws and one papoose prisoners. This was undoubtedly the firing heard by the Pimas.
 Lieutenant Garvey is said to have had 60 White Mountain h. dians who did good service. The Pimas and Maricopas contemplate another campaign in force under command of the Chief, Antonio Azul.
 With Gen. Crooks vigorious work and wisdom in enIisting h. dians, the people here are well >gIeased and hopeful of a speedy ! anS permanent peace. Citizen.

TUESDAY, MAY %, 1872

The. Philadelphia Ledger states that in the
PENNSYLVANIA coal trade, there is but little, il
any change The next public sale of Scranton
coal at New York, on tomorrow, of l20, 600 tons
is looked forward to with more than usual inter
est. The quantity advertised to be sold is TO-
900 tons less than was sold at the last monthly
sale This decreased offering of coal by this
company, in connection with the announcement
made by circular of an average reduction of
Pittston prices for June, Of 80 cts. per ton, has
tended to further depress the coal market. The
LIST of June is also awaited with anxiety by
parties Immediately interested in the Schuylkil
trade, there being some apprehension of an adj
vance of tolls by the Reading Railroad Com
pany.

POSTAGE STAMPS. -Some weeks ago start
ling statement went the rounds of the press to
the effect that prominent physician and his
wife, of Rocking ham county, New Hampshire,
had been poisoned by touching their tongues
to two postage stamps enclosed in letter re-
quiring reply, from the effects of which the
parties came near dying. 1t was suspected
that the stamps had been purposely poisoned ;
but another theory was that the ingredients
used in manufacturing the stamps might pos
siby be poisonous. The attention Of the Post
Office Department having been called to the
matter, it was decided to submit the stamps
now in use, with samples Of the lnk and other
Ingredients used in their manufacture, to a
competent chemist for analysis and report.
Accordingly DR.. Chas. I. Chandler, professor
Of analytical and applied chemistry in the
school Of mines, Columbia College, n. T., was
employed. After thorough examination the
professor reports that he finds nothing in any of
the articles used in making the stamps which
can prove in any way injurious to persons max
ing use Of them, aud that they are entirely
harmless in every respect.
