to her. The English Authorities at Jamaica have
always recognized her also as an American

FAIR.-The Edinburg Farmers As

fair on Thursday the first of May, on

lfeve it is more to the advantage or
benefit of the farmer, mechanic, agent,
stock raiser or salesman, to hold fair
in the spring than in the fall. Farm
ers are then looking to find where
they can find the best agricultural i'm
plements, the best horses to raise colts
from; also stock from which TO raise
the best cattle. Some thorough breds
will be on the ground and for sale. Ii
is expected the poultry department
will be well represented. Ravenna,

are invited to take part in this first

he had received painful wound, but
had the honor to capture Mobile, and
compel the surrender of the rebel
forces of the southwest. Since the
close of the war he has repeatedly
been chosen for special comment by
reason of his superior knowledge of
law and civil Government; his known
fidelity to the wishes of the Execu-
tive, and this chivalrous devotion TO
his profession, in all which his success
was perfect, when, fatlgued Dy long
and laborioHs career, in 1869 he volun-

the Department OF the Columbia,
where he expected to enjoy the repose

being desiroas OF ending il by peace

massacre by the Appaches.

SAN FRANcIsco, April 12.-On the
IIth Of March, Gus. Swain, John Me-
Donald, and George Taylor were MUIR
dered by a large band of Apaches.
The savages were pursued by the
troops, and seVenty-nine of the warri-
ors killed and twenty-six women and
children taken prisoners. The troops
were under the command of Lienten-
ant Rice, now at Fort Whipple. They
followed the trail of the Apaehes, and
learned that Taylor had been capfqP-
cd alive and subjected to the most
horrible tortures.
Captain Randall reports an engage
ment with the Appaches, in which he
killed forty y-seven warriors and cap
tnred seven women.
