sg By the following telegram
which we copy from the San

seen that the old scalliwag and
hypocrite, Gen. o. o. Howard, is
likely to come to grief. Give it

white people of Arizona:

B@ The Feast of the Immacu-
late Conception still goes on with
undated zeal and enjoyment.
The grounds are crowded nightly
by fair ladies and gallant gentle
men, who come to enter into the
innocent hilarity of the occasion.
The most perfect order has been
maintained during the week.
Music, dancing, promenading,
eating, drinking, social converse,
counting and the various games,
are the order of exercises. The
grounds are not very well lighted,
and they need not be, fol the
flashes from the bright black eyes
of the beautiful and captivating
senoritas, light up the scene with
a radiance that candles, kerosene
or gas know nothing about.
That's what's the matter. NJ

Eg The weather has been very
cold for this locality during the
past week. Old residents say
that they have rarely experienced
such cold weather here, The
air seems full of dampness caused
doubtless by the great rainfall,
both east and west of US. It has
not rained much in Yuma; only
enough to lay the dust and make
the streets and roads excellent
for trave ling.

BUCYRUs, OHIO, 1873.
Considerable interest has ev-
er been taken in the question
as to who was the first white
child born in this State. Your
readers, therefore, may be, per-
haps interested in the follow
ing record containing an ac-
count Of the births of a few who
We're supposed to be among
the firStbOrn within what are
now the limits of the State. /.
AT the close of PontiaC's war,
in 1854, a captive, a woman,
was delivered up to the army
OF Colonel Henry Bouquet on
the banks of the Muskingum,
who had at the time a babe at
the breast about three months
old. She had been taken by the
Indians about three months
previous. That child was un-
doubtedly born upon territory
now within this State. Her
husband was a Virginian; but
nothing is known of either their
history or name. +,
On the 4th of July, 1873, a
male. child was born at one OF
the MOravian villages upon the
Tuscarawas, then known as
Gnadenhutten. The father was
John Roth, a missionary to the
Delawares. The son was nam
ed John Lewis. He died at
York, Pennsylvania. His moth
er's maiden name was Maria
Agnes Pfngstag.
In 1774 a white child was
born in the forest On the head
waters of the Miami River OF
Canadian French Parents by
the name OF Millhomme, then
on their way TO Louisiana from
Canada. Concerning the his
tory of the parents nothing is
known. The child grew to man.
hood and was living in Terre
Bonne, Louisiana, as late as the
year 1885.
In 1775 Samuel Leith was
born of white parents in Wy
andot county. His fathers
name was John. His mothers
maiden name was Sally Lowry.
The two were captlveS among
the Indians and had intermar
rieG in the western wilderness.
Samuel Leith died in Fairfield
county, in 1920. !
Johanna Maria uecke welder
was born April 6, 1871, at Sa-
lem, Moravian Indian village
III what is now Tuscarawas
county. She died in Belhle-
hem, Pennsylvania, on the 10Th
of September, 1868. She had
long been regarded as the first
white child born in Ohio; but,
as we have seen, her claims to
that distinction must now be
given up. Her fathers name
was John Heckewelder, a mo-
ravlan missionary. The mai
den name of her mother was
Sarah Onneberg.

From the spr ingheld Qll.) Republican,
A Very Singular Case of Feline

We have heard of many won,
derful things which have been
done by cats; and there has
been not little superstition
among some classes OF people
in regard to their connection
with .witchcrait. We remem.
ber of'once seeing a picture oI
a "wltch," in which the old lady
was riding ON a broom with a
black cat IN her arms. We
were Solemnly told, when, when
we were youngster, that cats
had 'seven lives," and whatev-
er that may mean, there is no
use in trying to make US be-
lleye that it is not absolutely
true.
But all this had nothing to
do, that we know of, with a
very singular "cat" incldent
which happened night before
last at the residence of one of
our leading citizens, who re-
sides It the northern part of
the town. Being out of the gas
district he uses "kerosene' oil,
and during the night Is in the
habit of leaving one of these
lamps burning on a bracket in
a vestibule, which connects his
own sleeping apartments with
the children's "nursery." On
the night in question, by some
accident or other, the lamp
seems to have got out of order.
At any rate the wick caught
fire and was blazing a danger
Gus flame against the ceiling.
In a short time the house
would have evidently been on
fire, the entire household mean
while being soundly asleep.
But the old family cat, the fam
lily playfellow Of the children,
was in the apartment; and ap-
parently appreciating The dan
ger of the situation, jumped
upon the bed and commenced
energetically to "paw" the face
of our friend. OF course he was
at once startled and aroused
from sleep by the performance,
and, fastening to the blazing
lamp, saved his house from
what might have been a de-
structive fire.
Now, he does not assume to
explain what the cat had to do
with the affair. He does not
know whether it was instinct,
reason or an irrelevant freak
which prompted pussy" to
awake him IRON his sound
slumber just in time to save
his house from burning, but
the incident is not a little siD-
gular, to say the least Of it. 1t.
would seem that the cat is re.
ally endowed with intelligence,
and we doubt not, now that we
have told her story, that there
will be a general rush for the
next litter of kittens. The cat
herself is not for sale.
