The river is still rising, but has
probably attained within a few inches
of tie highest point it will reach this
season. We infer this from the fact
that latest advices from Louisville,
Cincinnati and st. Louis report the
river falling at those points.

Al accident which came near cost
ing 4 young calored boy his life oc-
CURED upon the railroad ON Tuesday
of last week. The boy, who was some
ter or twelve years age, fell asleep
upon the track a short distance below
ST. Andrew station, and when the
down passenger train came along the
eowcatcher of the engine struck him
on tile forehead and hurled him into
the ditch of water alongside the road
bed. He would certainly have been
drowned had it not been for the activ-
ity OF Joseph Horan, the young man
who sells PAPERS on the cars, who
jumped from the train before it could
be brought to b stand-still, and run
ming back to where the unfortunate
boy was lying! dragged him from the
water. Our last accounts from the
injured boy date. two days after the
accident; he was then still uncon-
scious, but his recovery considered
certain. The Scowcatcher inflicted a
long cash upon his forehead, but the
skull was nct' fractured. No blame
can be attached TO the engineer or any
of the officers for this accident, as the
boy was lying ht. the end of a planl>ed
crossing over the railroad, and in such
a manner that; the projecting plank
screened his body from view until the
train had approached too near to be
stopped beforei reaching him.

n W of theg arish tax payers have
paid heed to / HE handful issued by
" the citizens7and tax payers execu-
tive committee" and it is evidence of
thef good Sc :e~that the large body
of i EN- have OF. No one will deny
thatthe rate taxation is high, but
it must be considered that there is a
parikh debt hanging over us, incurred
by past adm distractions, which our
best!interestsM temand shall be liQui-
dated. To u omplish this end it has
been necessai to levy large tax.
Vega beels reliably informed that
if tht entire a; mount of tax levied this
year is collected, our parish will be
freed from debt and havesa small bal
anc{ in the treasury. With the assur-
ancA of this fact, and ssat the tax
hereafter viii be very much less than
this year, we think our tax paying cit
liens will not involve themselves in
additional expense and trouble by en-
deaf oring to fvade their DUTY.

Reavis, J., Orders Public Money into His Own Court.

Reavis, J., Orders Public Money into His Own Court.
 It would seem that the powers of a District Judge are unbounded and may extend to any subject, according to the all-wise and puissant Reavis, J., as witness this order of his:
 CLERKS OFFICE, Oct. 20, 1869.
 It is hereby ordered that the County Treasurer transfer to the General fund of Yuma county, any and all moneys now in his hands collected as Terri torial tax, and that the same be dis posed of in like manner as other moneys belonging to said county. And one fourth of the fines collected for Territorial purposes be paid to the Clerk of this Court as Library fund.
 ISLAM REAvIs, Judge.
 The above is true copy of the orig inal, as it appears on the Journal of the Court in my office, this 20th day of October, 1869. J. W. DoRRINGTON,
 Clerk Dist. Court. AS incredible as it may seem, the County Treasurer obeyed the above order, and near that time paid as di- rected about $439, and that sum was not returned to the Territorial Treas ury until the latter end of 1871. But, reader, think of 8 District Judge, on his own motion, ordering a County Treasurer to pay Territorial funds into the hands of brother-in-law Clerk of his own Court without any law or pretended authority of law. Can the act be excused on the ground of the Judges ignorance? Would not such @ grounded excuse be perversion of common sense and abuse of charity for human frailty?

TIE Miner discovered an inconsis- tency i'll the apportionment of the school moneys by the Territorial Board of Education. The money was right ly apportioned, the error being in crediting Pima county with 503 instead of eos children. The original documents show this, although THE CITIZEN gave the figures just as handed to us.

i. Wheeler d Wilson's Sewing Machine is
much simpler than any of the others; re-
quiring less than half the amount of ma
chnery.
2. AS the result of this simplicity, this ma.
chine is much loss liable than the others to
get out Of repair.
8. Another rosult OF this simplicity s
greater durability.
4. Another result is less friction, and, con-
sequentiy, greater ease and raridity OF mo-
tion with less noise.
s. And greatest Of all, that it 1ses no Shut
tie, and makes the lock stitch.
1t is the cheapest to buy the beet. Buy the
machine that has justly, fairly and honora-
bly, won reputation and independence
against strong and bittercompcttion For
more than twenty years has the Wheeler 4
Wilson not only stood fret and foremost, but
now stands the unlivalled Sewing Machine OF

chine that has been thus tested and proved,
and then you are sure to get the hest For

In accordance with the established policy o.
the Company, to furnish the best Concentrat-
ed Fertilizer at the lowest cost to consumers,
this Guano is put into market this season at
the above reduced price, which the Company
is enabled to do by reason OF it's large facili-

its quality and composition is precisely tho

at tho present low price, every acre planted

cost not exceeding the present value of 80
pounds Of cotton, while experience has shown
thai under favorable condition of season and
cultivation, the crop is increased by the ap-

paragraph from New York paper illus
trates what passes in that city for fun:
"To-day, our murder market is steady.
Convictions weak, with downward ten
dency. Chances for new trials brisk
and improving. Certainties Of execu-
tions scarcely quoted at all. There are
eight convicted murderers in the Tombs,
and four awaiting the action of the
courts. Only one is counted on as a
sure contribution to the gallows, and he
is poor Irishman who killed his wife in
drunken quarrel"
