THE CITIZEN. Tucson, Saturday, 5: June 8, 1872. LOCAL MATTERS. ->>>~~>
 CHARLES O. BROWN arrived this morn ing from San Diego; also, Bishop Good drich, beef contractor, from Grant.
 PETER KITCHEN reported here this morning, from his ranch on the Santa Cruz, with a load of hams of first quality. COMPANY E, Twenty-third Infantry, re- ceived from San Francisco an addition of 40 volums to their Library yesterday. THE Board of Supervisors met on the 3d instant, audited few accounts and adjourned to June F, at which time the assessment roll for 1872 will be received.
 THE Court-martial convened in Tucson to try Lieutenant Royal E. Whitman for some of his many sins and misdemeanors, adjourned Monday, June 8. Result un known.
 JOHN DAVIS has just arrived here from Camp Grant and reports that the Indians are behaving well also, that Agent Jacobs is rapidly obtaining their confidence and will soon have system and order on the reservation.
 THE valley of the Santa Cruz in front of Tucson presents lively appearance. The fields are yellow with ripe grain, and workmen with sickle in hand are busily at work. The harvest promises an equal yield with any previous year. New barley / and wheat are being brought to market and disposed of at three cents per pound. NEW wheat is coming into market and both of Lee & Scotts flour mills are now constantly employed. The new crop did not come in any too soon, as the town was almost destitute of flour, and was selling at S15 per 100 lbs. We have not learned what the new flour will be sold at, but we suppose not above S6 per 100 tbs.
 IT will be noticed by referring to the ad- vertisement of w Richard & Co.,, publish ed in to-day's CITIZEN, that they are now prepared to furnish the trade and families with every article of goods required. Farmers will observe that they take in ex- ct ange for goods, the staple products of | the country.
 THE Common Council met on the 25th ultimo, at which meeting the report of the Mashal relative to enforcing the Dog ordi- nance and abating nuisances, was received and placed on file. Accounts amounting to S24 50 were audited. The Recorder was authorized to purchase record book for entries relative to land titles under the late survey.
 DEPARTURES during the week were i: General Elliott, General Tidbal, Lieuten- ant Robinson and Dr. Brierly, for San Francisco; Colonel Crittenden and wife, Colonel Royall, Colonel Leib and wife, Captain Taylor and wife, Lieutenants Rockwell and Edgerton, and F. L. Austin for Grant; Lieutenants Ross and Bourke, Francis A. Crook, and Thomas Moore, for Prescott; Captain Smith and wife, and Lieutenant Whitman, for Crittenden. TIE Public School was opened on Monday for second term. All the scholars are in attendance that the room will hold. There is pressing need for a l new school house-not one third of the scholars that ought to be in school can be accommodated. We hope our public spirited citizens will take hold of the matter and build house that will be credltable to the place and that will afford | opportunities for all to attend school. PERsoNAL.-Samuel B. Wise arrived from the Gila on Monday. He reports everything prosperous on the Gila. The harvest is abundant and the people are happy. We can hardly see how they can be otherwise, especially those who live near the influence of Sam's never-ending fund of good humor Sam has mistaken his calling. He should run circus or a menagerie, for if the animals were all to get away, or the performers were to strike for higher pay and eight hours, Sam could fill all the places and give entire satisfac- tion to the audience.
 THE scholars at St. Joseph's Academy were examined yesterday in the following studies In English-reading, orthog- raphy, grammar, mathematics, astronomy and arithmetic; in Spanish - reading, grammar, geography and arithmetic. A large number of citizens were present to witness the recitations, and all seemed highly pleased with the progress the scholars have made and the excellent sys-
