Rowdyism.

Although the time Is quite long since man wal
 killed in Prescott, we must attribute this crcum tance to good luck rather than to any dcrelictior of" duty" ou the part of our hard cases, two o

 For sometime past, when mel-es have occurred between those who, other wise, are looked upon as good and respectable citizens, we have, Tor mo- lives which will readily be appreciated by all, sb. stained froin making the parties notorious. by publishing theh panes but, we fear, this Is DO, ihe way to treat neu who engage in street or bar. room nghts, and may. hereafter, tfcat all such men differently We have now, boweyer, to speak of man-s Mir.

Mir FuI 0tts narrow escape from death, at the hands of Dennis, should not be lost on him, and should cause bm to forcgo such "tears" as that upon which he was then at work
 Again, a party of Chinamen who arrived here one evening Of the week, by C. W. Beach's train had no sooner struck the plaza than a quarrel arose between theIn and some Prescott chinamen. one oi whom picked mp an ax and was proceeding to chop Wickenburg John into pieces, when Night vatchinan Jennings stepped in, and, ,wiLh the aid of another citizen, took the belligerents to jaiI.
 Then, couple oi soldiers from Camp Verde tried to "raisc Cain ;' did, also some MexIcans all Of whom were lodged in laii.
 Jhe thanks of this community are due to Sheriff Thomas, Under-SheriH Herbert aud Sightwatch- man William Jennings. who made lhese arrests. also to Judges Flcury and Otis, who have done well In dning the law-breakers. And now we will close by informing all evil disposed persons that the citizens or Prescott are determined upon pre- serving the good name of their tow D. and that the nrst man who commits a cowardly murder and is caught, will be sure to suffer

It makes one shudder to read the English accounts of the sinking of the "Northfeet. $ in the British channel, owing 10 which dis aster 321 persons were launched into q waterv grave. The "Northfeet1 was run into by an unknown steamer, in the night, which steamer kept on her course, her officers and crew making no effort, whatever, to render assis lance to the doomed vessel. Capt Knowles. oi the Northiieet, acted very heroically and aiSappeared beneath the waves with his ship Every effort was made to first get the women and children into the boats, and, in getting them there, the captain was compelled to drive back the men, by firing upon them.
