<ut Os Ss OWCdittSCh " ~ tSoo AsSs A'o~ 1 to start for the States.
 WEATHER.-Nobodyl looked for snow on last Saturday night, but it csme-sbout four inches of it, and has kept coming ever since, accompanied by high, cold winds
 Mir T. Ewing started for Tucson day or two ago. Previous 10 leaving he received dispatch from Gov Bashford, who had just gone down the road, telling him to be eau tious, as Indians had been seen near the road. Messrs Bigelow and Harris arrived in town night before last from their mines on Lynx creek. They will return soon.
 The remains of Dr c. NJ. Willing were, to-day, deposited in the citizens burylng ground. Rev G. A. Reeder read the funeral service and made appropriate remarks upon the death of Dr Willing and Supervisor Kerr, who were buried at the same time.
 .GoLD.-Mr c. W. Curtis informs us that he has just seen about SlS0 worth of gold. recently sent in by Col Bigelow, from the Bashford mining company's claims, which for beauty and purity beat any equal amount of gold ever before seen by bim. None of the pieces were very small or very large and no rock or other impurity was discernable in any piece or atom Of the gold. .s-ef,
 MatL.-The blackboard arrived very early this morning, with very large mail. The driver reports snow as far down as Antelope creek. He had very hard ride and drive.
 ReLreIous,-Tso sermons-one in En- glish, the other in Gernan--were, yesterday, delivered in the courtroom, after which Sab bath school services were held.
 AssEssISG.--Sheriff Herbert has com menced assessing property for county and Territorial purposes. and Mir. -----s is doing the same thing in Prescott, for village purposes We hope they will do their work thoroughly and in way that will be fair for ail, as all who have taxable property should be made to bear their share of the expenses.
 FROM yERDE.-Col. Coppinger, U. s. A., commanding at Camp Verde, was in town for brief time Saturday last, when, chancing | to meet him he was pleased to inform us that the discipline upon the Verde Indian reserva- ton is as good as could reasonably be expec- ted. The agent, Dr. Williams, and the com- uiander of the small military post on the re- serve, It. Schuyler, have always worked in harmony and with good results. The last squad of Indians that surrendered under stood, previous to coming in, that they would have to "turn themselves in as prison CTS of war;" which they very willingly did. TowN PRopERrY.-Mr. c. A. Luke has just invested considerable cash in purchasing house and three lots on Cortes street, from Judge H. Brooks, agent of Judge Turner. The house is the one formerly occupied by Judge Turner. Mir. Luke will put up "morc house" on his purchase.
 J. Swearingen has sold his house and lot on Granite street, to Mir. T. Bullock. As the time approaches for holding court {, in Maricopa county, citizens of Prescott and vicinity, why have been subpeuaed to ap- near as witnesses in the Hellings case, are far from being pleased with the knowedge that they will be compelled to leave taeir bpsi- ness and make long, dangerous and cxpen- sive trip. But, we presume there is no such thing as lodging the issue, since the Territo- ry's attorney, Mir. McCaffry, has refused to excuse any one of the witnesses, some of I whom are very poor men, who will have to sacrifice part or all, of what little property they have, and then not be able to go and return in anything like good way. Men situated in this way are of opinion that the board of supervisors of this county ought to strain point in the way of allowing them at least travelling expenses. We, being one of the victims, will suffer considerable pecu- niary loss by having to hire somebody to edit the MINER in our absence, and would feel quite joyful were Judge Tweed to issue an order for the taking of testimony in Prescott.
