On Monday whilst two boatmen had tied upat
Chapman in this county, they enlced two little
girls into their boat and then attempted an out
rage upon them. The screams of the children
were heard by some persons not far of, who ran
to the boat, and upon entering discovered the
scoundrclS in the ncfarous attempt. Nothing
but this timely aid prevented the runation of
these children. The unmtigatcd scoundrcs are
now lodged in Jail at Mddleburg, and it i pity
the law will not condemn them to lifelong i'm
prlsonmcnt. Such men have no right to live at
large among any people, in any country.-iSelinS-

The SUNBURY MARKET.-The markets, since
the ordinance went into effect, have proved a
success, and have given general satisfaction to
the citizens as we'll as the producers. The amount
of produce offered for sale has astonished every
one attending the markets. For the last few
weeks the greatest variety of articles were sold
at good prices, and the farmer returns to his
home with the cash in his pocket. Previous to
the curb-stone market not one half the amount
of vegetables or produce was brought to town, as
the merchants would not buy for fear of its wilt
ing or perishng on their hands. Purchasers are
now enabled to buy from FIRST hands fresh from
the garden, and they find 1t more healthy to cat
as we'll rs getting 1t at lower prices. There is
also great improvement in the articles, and far
mcrs are encouraged in paying more attention to
fruits and vegetables, &C., to compete with their
ncighbors in bringing good article to market.
Where, as was formerly the case, the purchaser
went from store to store in search of butter, of
which, when found, he was compelled to take an
inferior article and short weight Mt that he has
now an opportunity to select good article with
full weight. 1t is the same with many other ar
ticles. We notice among other things in rela-
tion to our market, that the farmers bring in
their marketing in more attractive style than
previous to its establishment, and that their wa
gons are surrounded by lady customers until cv-
cry article is disposed of. Our merchants, too,
are great gamers. Formerly, when farmers had
to peddle their products through the streets, mcr-
chants were compelled to trust their customers,
while now the farmers receive cash for produce,
and pay cash for their goods.
In connection with this matter we would sug
gcst that both the farmers and the citizens of
this place join together. and erect suitable
market house. We feel satisfied that such n pro-
jcct will still further improve the market, rs well
as business generally. market house built on
the stock principle, would yield large per cent
age to the stock holders. Besides it would prove
Il convenience that none would ever wish to dis
pcnse with after being put into operation We
have number of capitalists among our citizens
and farmers who would invest in the project If it
were once started, as all see the Importance of II
building to secure comfortable quarters for those
attending market during inclcmcnt weather, and
make an nduccmcnt to further improve the mar
kct.

Efficacy of Prayer.

We learn from The Miner of June $, the joyful news that rain in large
 quantities had showered down upon
 the good people of Prescott and yicin-
 lty, which will insure good crops to the
 farmers. Now we don't care how the
 power who controls the rains was in-
 duced to grant this boon to our friends III and about Prescott. Friend Marion
 says he prayed for it, and that soon
 after, sure enough, it came in torrents.
 This IS not improbable, for we read in the good book that the prophet Elijah obtained rain, as shown blythe follow ing testimony:
 And 1t came to pass at the seventh time. that he said, Behold, there ariseth little cloud out of the sea, like mans hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Pre- pare My chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not
 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
 And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah. and be girded up his Joins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
 We believe Marion did pray, and we hope through his direct supplica- tlon the rain came. If 1t is so, it will give joy to Arizonans in two ways, viz: The suspicion had almost grown to fixed belief on the minds of Ari- zonans, that the voice of no Arizonan had ever reached the Most High, and that the soul of no one of our departed had ever gone past St. Peter (the Yuma story to the contrary notwithstanding and seen the golden throne, or had been permitted to drink from the liv- ing waters. Now if friend Marion has been heard, may not more Arizo- nans hope (after long years of piety such as he has practiced) to be per- nitted to supplicate before the throne ,f Grace, and that if friend Marion gets an interview with St. Peter that le will set all things right with us md get us an equal show with Apa- ,hes, Africans, Victoria Woodruff, leo. Francis Train, Vincent Colyer md all the rest of the good people? We would advise all to pray.
