How GrS. Scorr EsCAPED CANBYs
F,TE-General Scott, during the war
of 1912. is said to have narrowly escap-
ed a death similar to that which recent
" befell General Candy. The General
was taken prisoner at the battle OF
Queenstown, in which engagement the
British hae on their side number Of
Iudian auxiliaries. After the day was
over, two sages, Captain Jacobs and
Young Brant, came into his tent, osten-
sibIy TO see whether they had wounded
him in the engagement Of the day,as he
had afforded such a splendid target that
each had fired on him several times
apiece. One of them seized him by the
back and attempted to turn him, when
he threw both with great force against
the wall, and seizing a sword, prepared
TO- sell his life as dearly as possible, while
they stood glowering, with their hands
upon their tomahawks and knives wait
inc for the second when he should be
off his guard. A British officer entered
at that moment and the life of the gal
lant American was saved, even had not
his own valiant arm been sufficient to
preserve it.

A FAST YOUNG MANA young man
died recently in this city, whose case
might well serve as warning to others.
His conduct for years was so exemplary
as to secure for him the esteem and
friendship of large circle of friends, but
in an unfortunate hour for him, rela-
tive died, leaving him legacy oftwelve
thousand dollars From that moment
he was a ruined man, he lost his relish
for honest industry, fell into bad compa-
ny, contracted evil habits, and after
squandcring his substance in riotous
living, except few hundred dollars, he
brought himself to the grave in less
than eight months from the'time he fell
heir to the fortune.-Baiio. american.

JURISTS, DOCTOKS AND SREAi -hEh
CHANTS ON THE WAR PATH AGAINST
Wu1sKEY.-Hon. George a. Pearre, OF
Allegany county,in answer to loud calls
for him, made an earnest address on
temperance, and endorsed the view OF
the chairman, that they should act thro'
both of the existing parties. While
legislation conld not reform the topper
it could remove temptation from the RI
sing generation. The loss by revenue
from license, if grog-shops were abol-
ished, would be compensated for ten
fold by the diminution of the crime and
the consequent cost to the State-and
his experience ON the bench showed him
that nine out ten crimes committed
could be traced directly to the excessive
use of liquors. The eloquent speaker
was frequently applauded.
In the American Medical Association
at St. Louis, yesterday, DR.. j. A. Alex
ander, of Buckingham county, Va, was
added to the list OF delegates abroad.
DIR. Horner, of the L. S. Army, intro
duced resolution declaring that alco-
hol should be classed with other power
full drugs, and prescribed incidentally
with great caution; that alcoholic bev-
erages are productive of large amount
of mental and physical disease, and that
they entail diseased apetites and cause
large proportion of the existing pau
perism. :,
VIM. Z. Dodge was elected President,
and J. L. Stearns Secretary OF the Ma
tional Temperance Society, at its annual
meeting in New York yesterday. A
mong the resolutions adopted by the
Sociesy was one asking Congress to
pass a general law prohibiting the
manufacture and sale Of liquors in the
United States.

TIE BREApsrUFr PRosrEcr.-A cor
respondent of the London Times shows,
by reference to the agricultural returns
from the United Kingdom, that the
acreage of land in the cereals is much
there than last year, and that the bad
condition of the ground from excessive
rains threatens 4 short crop. lie esti-
mates that more than one-half Of the
grain needed for consumption in the
Kingdom must come from foreign sources.
1t is an ''ill wind that blows nobody
good" and while we may properly sym
pathize with England on the prospect
of scarcity of breadstutfs, yet rejoice
that we have enough and TO spare, and
can give them millions OF bushels
wherewith to feed themselves, the only
effect upon us being that we will be the
richer for the export.

The ELECTRIC FLUID STRIKES PAR
TY OF CARD PLAYERs.-A special cor.
respondent of the Wilmington CONNER
cial, writing from Middleton, Delaware,
saws: The thunderstorm of Saturday
night was terribly severe in some sec.
tions. The lightning struck in several
places in ST. Georges Hundred, in one
case with fatal results. In tenant
house, on Mr.. Prices farm, about four
miles beyond this town, near Bunker
Hill, some ten or twelve colored men
were seated at table playing cards.
The fearful vividress of the lightning
frightened one of the party, named
Benjamin Dares, and rising from the
table with an oath, he exclaimed that
he was going to bed get out Of the
way He proceeden up stairs, and got
into bed between tive colored children,
and had hardly laid down when bolt
of lightning entered through the roof,
piercing hole through the mans head
from temple to temple, killing him of
course, instantly.
The children were unharmed, but in
the lower room, the table, cards and
men were scattered in every direction.
With the exception of one man, who
was badly burned on the back, all es-
capped with being severely stunned. AS
soon as they could the whole party left
the house, now in flames, and ran, rs If
for their lives. One of them, however,
returned and rescued the children, and
the body of the dead man; the Others
ran up the road to store, where they
took refuge on the porch in good boxes,
and any place that offered apparent Sc
curi,y, tervently praying for cessa-
tion of the anger of the mighty powers.
Their prayers were not favorably an
swered, as bolt of the terrible electric
entered the front of the store. passing
through, and tearing out Il greater part
of the rear end. a goods box behind
which one of the colored men was stan
ding. was torn into splinters; new pal
ing fence, along which crowded two or
three men, was entirely demolished and
things smashed up generally. Another
retreat was now made at a rapid speed,
and for what we know, some of the par
ty may still be on the run.

NEW MINING CAMP.
Where 1t is--What is Doing There
 --Its Prospects.

i Last April, Messrs. Stevens, Leather wood, Marsh, Hopkins, Hewitt. Hutton and probably one or more others did, in person or by employees, considerable prospecting south of Tucson, and made locations on the "Oro Blanco" lead. This is a vein upon which there was much work done many years ago. In some of the old cuts, large oak trees have grown since the work was done, and none now living seems to know when the works were abandoned The "Oro Blanco" is about sixty miles little west of south from Tucson, eighteen southwest of Kitchens ranch and three and one-half miles from the line between Sonora and Arizona and near the source of the Altar river. Until country tho lode is situated. To deter mine its national status, about ten days ago Messrs. Hopkins, Leatherwood, Marsh, Stephenson, Bartlett and Van Alstine provided themselves with instru- ments and proceeded to run out the line between monuments on the boundary D They returned on Thursday, and brought cheering accounts of the prospects of the new mining settlement and work in pro- gross there.
 At this time, there are twenty-two ar rastrars in operation. The vein is ex- plored along its line 100 yards and at one place to depth of thirty feet. The ore is gold bearing and decomposed so far as yet found, and is eXcavated without the use of drills and powder Many thou sands of dollars have been lately taken out, and the yield is uniform from $60 to Sl00 per ton. On the 300 feet developed, the vein runs from two to three feet ill thickness and is regarded as a first-class poor mans mine. Wood is abundant and near by and pasturage for animals all that could be desired. There is water enough to run fifteen to twenty-stamp mill, and is regarded as permanent. The weather at this time is clear and frosty but just suited for comfortable labor The camp consists of about forty miners and some ten houses have been built-fve of which are stone and adobes. The min- CTS have no doubts about the value of the mines, and from all appearances very large mining town must soon grow up there.
 NOW IDaJ tne Veln IS Clcarly ucHlOnSlraI- ed to be in Arizona the claimants intend to go about the work of mining in earn est. AS we understand 1t, all those at work are mining by leave of the claim ants named in the first of this account, but they manifest willingness to accom- modate themselves to such arrangements as the owners will accord to them.
 The year 1874 bids fair to show much mining prosperity along our southern border

IT is impossible to tell how much sor- row and trouble have been endured by the people in and around Tucson during the past week, but many have surely enjoyed considerable fun and some good hash Dances, dinners, suppers, and other good things incident to this wicked world, fill ed up the weeks programme, and quite a number seem anxious to keep up the round of gaiety some longer, while the nights are long and cool.
