 FRIEND MaEIoS:-We reached ,k,. on the morning of the Slst ult.. afte, and half days journey, on horsebaek Ehrenberg, and found the lourner .,,-a. but pleasant. the trail being rough and and the hotel accommodations eu the - not being first class. The only plea,a,,,.as we met with on the tourRey was s ss s with our old time friend NarEenrer xs. early days, freighted supplies from |. to Prescott. Mr. W resides un the 1h,.a Ranch, which IS about halfway h,tseep - place and Ehrcnbers. We mel with . ,-e cordial reception from this ccntlrrpap - appeared to appreciate our dilapids,rs ' pearancs, and therefore brungtt fursh n. q. stone pug, and administered to us a . ls,'... s dose ut the best snake remedy l hsse ,..1s for many day.
 l On our arrival al the Colorado Hotel h... we received a very cordial greeting s, = hands of Capt. Hargraye, John L. Tsxs. and Dr. McCandless, members of the ~l,,-' pal tribe" These children of cur merp,... home have been detained here fos ssyr-.s weeks, waiting transportation ty stesr.,, ]. Ehrenberg, but navigation on the Cao-,s. River Is SO uncertain, at the present In. i that the date nf their departure eanna, as determined. The arrival of myself ,,s Theo. Loisilor, made quite an additius !, the Yavapai Tribe, which appeared ,a !. l fully appreciated by the big chief MesSfs. Taylor and McCandless hs,r. 1 been dragged down here as witnesses n ts, Gertrude case, have had a hard tiuss cF | and are to be pitied, for they win hardlr ls half paid for their time and trouble ] ln my former letter from Ehrenher. I stated that the District Court had aajsurn.a for the terln, bat l find this was mis,sk, 1 fer tue court is still running, but leara th., there Is but little business being done. esn, to the non arrival of the new Judge. ] l learn that Gertrude's trial has gens sv- ! for the term, and the chances appear ts k that he will never again he tried n tls d. trict. and whether be will se taken 10 Taeoa for trial, or turned loose, seems 10 be as,. ter cf uncertainty.
 find the leading people of this city erss,. ly divided Tn their likes and dislIkes of esrs other, and if enc could believe half rh. haa things they say of each other, an har persuaded that there is no better fed . the world for missionary labor than tAs place, aad were called upon to decide Elss right and who Is wrong, should be Us lsii5 puzzled as the Dutch Justice, and, like hH, render a verdict of no cause of actipn, saa the constable pay the cost.
 Judge Bidwell opened bis court promptly on the morning of tbe first inst, and trsns. ! haSa kz E-. c.. days of his term. The Judge seems to h> quite familiar with tbe duties of his ofis. considering his short experience, and so hr as 1 could judge, was likely to give gener,l satisfaction, and IS regarded as fair and boa. est in the exercise of his duties as Probate Judge.
 l find this fo to be a much larger and m@s pleasant town than l bad expected, fvz what had hesrr. of it. There asr raHy large and commodie,.s hryifsess laass asFs but people eornpkin af Gall l-Res, Fn& aa city of Eporey.
