LONDON, Dec. 9.-A terrific wes- terly gale prevailed throughout En- gland yesterday. Many buildings were demolished in this city, and pedestrians were dashed violently to the ground.
 Eight ships were blown ashore at Plymouth and three at Davenport.
 Dispatches are coming i'll from all sections, reporting very great des- truction of property. Many towns have been flooded.
 Three pinnacles on St. Thomas church, in Cork, Ireland, were blown down, and came crushing through the roof while the congregation was wor- shipping. Miraculously, none were killed.
 The freight depot of the Great Western Railway was entirely de- molished.

WE this day publish a petition on the subject of the Territorial boundary at Arizona city. It Is perfectly clear that that boundary should be settled by some authority which all parties will respect, but just how to effect such settlement Is another question. It is as clear as that four is equal to two times two, that the center of the channel of the Colorado river is the true boundary at all points at or near Arizona City. San Diego county tac- itly admits such to be the fact, but in asmuch as the Commissioner of the General Land Office, and probably other officials, now decline to act on important subjects until a definite and ,thoritative settlement is made. the
 assary steps should be taken to
 md as soon as practicable. An
 T by the Attorney General of
 ted States, ought to be satis-
 all parties.

TAKE A SHARE OR MORE.

Hundreds of men even Ill Arizona
 can, without feeling the outlay to be detriment, subscribe for one share of
 stock to the Centennial Board of
 Finance, to aid in the necessary prep arations for our country's grand cele-
 bration in 1876, and many can easily take more than one. Shares are but S1O each. Payments may be made in full at once, or as follows:
 Twenty per cent, on subscription twenty per cent, on or before the first Monday of May; twenty per cent, on or before the first Monday of July; twenty per cent, on or before the first Monday of September, and twenty per cent, on or before the first Monday of November, 1873.
 This gives nearly year in which to pay $10, or $2O, or more according to the subscription. The press of the whole country Is alive to this subject, and noting in conspicuous manner the localities which come up promptly and literally. Within one hundred days from last Saturday, Arizona would not be permitted to subscribe for to exceed 250 shares; and 1t will be much to her credit to do all that she is permitted or expected to do with in that period. We think she will.
 A. J. Finlay Esq, is Agent at Ari- zona City, and he writes us on the 10th, that he broached the matter to few yesterday" and that he disposed of twenty-eight shares;" and adds that "the citizens subscribe "cheerfully." This is much to the credit of the people of Arizona City, and it is with pleasure we record it.
 L. M. Jacobs Esq, Agent at Tue son, has not yet made any outside eff fort, but will next week, and 1t is to be hoped our citizens will sub scribe cheerfully as they do at Arizona City. Agent Jacobs has disposed of about thirty shares to persons calling on him to subscribe for them.
 We are not advised how the sub- scription progresses at Prescott, but have no doubt it is reasonably liberal. Levi Bashford is Agent there. Sub- scriptions can be made as we'll by let ters addressed to either of the Agents for Arizona, as if present in person. It will also be borne in mind that the subscription is not a gift, but simply an advance of money expected to be returned to the subscriber out of the proceeds of the Exposition.

The Centennial Celebration.

The New York and Boston papers are beginning to recognize the impor- tance and grandeur of this occasion in the same kindly spirit the people at large have from It's inception. In officially directing matters in connec- ton with the august international Exposition at Paris in 1867, the great Wm. H. Seward felt it to be his duty to specially refer to the various valua- ble results of exhibitions of the prod ucts of the soil, and of the arts and sciences of the world. All the truly great men of public note, have testi- fled to- their usefulness in both a moneyed and social sense. President Grant, in his recent annual message, makes this reference to the approach ing event:
 This celebration will be looked for ward to by the American citizens with great interest, as making a century of greater progress and prosperity than is recorded in the history of any other nation. Proving further the good purpose of bringing together, on our soil, people of all commercial nations of the earth, is a matter calculated to secure international good feeling.

ABOUT week since, twenty-two mules belonging to Burkhart & Fred ley's train were stolen by Indians about five miles beyond Kenyon Sta ton, and one of the teamsters wound ed by gun shot. Subsequently eleven of the mules escaped and found their way back to Oatman Flat. This is the report as 1t comes to us. It seems that Indians are operating in the vicinity of Kenyon and Oatman, but probably for theft more than any thing else.

| The department is constrained to believe

man, openly before all the world, fulfilling
publicly all the requirements made by State

the prestige of his high position. His name

STOP OVER CHECKS,

From the New York Herald.l
Mr. Felker bought ticket from New Ha-

| at Bridgeport and received accordingly a
''stop over check" The next day he started
from Bridgeport and was given another
check ON which was printed Good for this
trip and train OF | unless Endorsed by the
conductor" kelker again wished to stop at
NorWalk, and applied to the conductor TO
lndorae the check, to which the cOnductorre-
pied that the rules Of the road allowed only
one st0p-check to b6 given. Mr. Felker
notwithstanding, stopped over at NOrWaIk
On u subsequent train he took passage for
New York, and presented the check uuin-
dorsel to the conductor, who refused to re-
oei96 it, and demanded full fare from Nor
walk to New York. On the refusal of Mr.
Felker, the conductor Wallace, brought in
six brakemen, who fcrcibly elected Felker,
and in so doing pulled out large quantities
of his beard, which was scattered about the
door OF the car and on the platform outside.

The case was taken from the jury. as the
plea was demurrer, which, being over
ruled, left simple question of damages.
upon the hearing Of which, however ali
questions Of law aad fact were considered.
Judge Minor, in his decision, declined 20
60 into the legal question as the company's
regulation allowing only one stop over. but
animated that he thought the COMPANY
should bring such regulation home to the
passenger. But che jcdge found that there
was clearly an exercise Of undue force in
taking the plaintiff by the beard, and ac.
cordlngly gave judgment for the plaintiff to
recover the sum Of $500 The Judge re,
marked that he was not entirely satisfied
THAT Che plalutltts beard was wIlflIIy and
wantonly pulled out by the conductor. and
that had he been SO satisfied he should have
awarded damages in much larger amount.
