A SCARED INvEsTIGAToR.-Att the last ses-
sion of Congress the Committee on Expen-
ditures of the Department Of Justice inyeS.
tigated the western judicial district of Ar
kansas, and developed state of facts'of the
most disgraceful character, especially in re-
lation to the disbursement Of funds. 1t was
demonstrated conclusively that United States
marshals had swindIed the Government out
of thousands of dollars by..a course of fraud
which was reduced to perfect system. AS
q consequence, Congress was recommended
to abolish the district, but for want OF time
the bills to effect this failed to become laws.
After the adjournment OF Congress the atten-
ton OF the Attorney General was called to
these frauds, and examination of the &C.
counts of the delinquentS was made IN the
office of the First Comptroller. The grossest
discrepancies and irregularities were soon
deycoped; and two or three weeks ago MT
W. II. Nessle, clerk in the Comptrolier,s
office, was detailed to proceed to Fort Smith
and investigate the accounts there. For the
purpose. of facilitating the investigation DIR.
Nessle took with him in large box tue pa
pers and documents relating to the case IN
the custody of the Comptroller.
To-day Mr.. Nesse turned up again in
WASHINGTON with his box, and reports that
he could not reach Fort Smith without in
curing great personal danger, with liza
blity of losing the box with its important
contents. It seems that a knowledge Of
Nessle's movements and the purport OF bis
visit preceded him. After he left the rail-
road and took the stage he was informed
that band of masked men were after him
to secure the box and destroy the papers,
thus oblterating the evidence Of fraud. The
agent of the stage line advised Nessle that it
would be dangerous for him to attempt to
reach Fort Smith, and be consequently re-
traced his steps. The above is Nessle's
story. The Attorney General was to-day
reticent about the whole matter, and has
written to Mr.. Durall, who has charge of
United States cases at Fort Smith, TO ascer~
tain all the facts in relation to any conspiracy
that may have been entered into to capture
the papers in NessIe's custody Washington

THE KIND OF THRIFT TO BUILD Up CoUN-
rY.-An enterprising gentleman in Essex
has recently established fruit.canning es-
adjustment, and has set out large peach
orchard, and while waiting for them to grow
and bear, he is cultivating tomatoes by acres
to can. Not being able to get anything else,
they have canned this season at his establish
ment great quantities of blsckberries and
whortleberries. Ore merchant says be has
sent the concern as high as t,co hundred
bushels of blackberries day. It is what we
ought to have in every county in the State.
If onefourth Of the capital that is lying
dead in our counties had been applied in
this way, and the untold. number of acres
of waste land set out in fruit trees and Gull
tivated in small fruit for canning purposes
until the trees were old enough to bear, it
would pay better than gold mine.-Fred-

I visited the Stock Exchange yesterday
while business was in progress, but there
were not great many present. aud there was
no very absorbing financial manGuyre on
hand. Yet the noise was terrible and the
disorder Internal. A dozen or more voices
were intermingled, and my Impractical ear
could distinguish nothing that sounded like
sense. The scene at the Richmond horse.
auction on Saturdays is very much like it,
dignitied. A very great number of the men,
beers on the floor were young men-a signiti-

cumstance that the entrance fee is 81 900.

Losses by Heavy Rains on San Pedro.

The recent rains have destroyed much grain in San Pedro valley. July 29, John Montgomery writes us that the rain began July 2d, and ceased to the 9th, when it recommended and rained heavily every day and n nearly every night until the 25th. The sky was cloudy and the air warm up to the 29th. Some wheat was cut and every exertion was made to save it and the barley, but with little success. About 100000 pounds of barley is destroyed, and the largest part of the wheat that was harvested was badly damaged. Fe1d BerthoId loses 10000 pounds barley, and B. Totamas 25,000 pounds of wheat and barley. The rain prevented work in the corn, and the weeds almost smothered it, but this crop never looked better, Pota- toes, beans and other garden crops never looked more promising. The insects that were damaging these crops have disappear ed and it is thought the good results from the heavy rains will more them com pensate for the heavy losses of wheat and barley.

j Horses for the Indians.

In accordance with Gen. Crooks sug- gestions last year, Thomas Ewing pur- chased a lot of California horses for the Indians at Verde and Apache. The Gen. eral believed that nothing would please the Indians better or tend to make them more contented on the reservations, than a supply of horses. The conditions upon which the General favored the purchase were that fair horses should be obtained and sold at very low prices, both of which seem to have been observed by Mir. Ewing, for he sold no at Verde for $2l each, and l64 at Apache for $25 apiece. We hear that the Indians at Apache have recently received their horses and are greatly de- lighted with them. We are not well versed in the cost of horses in California nor in cost and risk of bringing them from there to Verde and Apache, but the price at which these lots have been sold to the Indians warrants the belief that there must have been not the least profit In the transaction.

The Clifton Mines.

Mining Life of July IS, of Silver City, N, M., learns that the Longfellow copper ledge which is being so extensive ly worked by H. Lesinsky & Co.,, is now about ninety feet in width and solid mass of copper. That paper says:
 The ore will yield on an average of sixty per cent. copper The company is now running two Mexican furnaces and pro ducing about 1900 to 1900 pounds of copper daily; but a large reverberatOry furnace is in course of construction of capacity of ten tons per day. The stack which is I30 feet high and the body of the furnace are of common red brick made by the con- pany. The lining will be of fire brick made from the strata of fire clay found overlaying the mine, and which tested in the same furnace with fire brick from St. Louis. one half the furnace being lined with each, is found to stand equally as well. This lining will require about ten thousand fire brick and they are now be- ing made. The labor Of mining is almost nothing, as lately two blasts threw down enough ore to keep the entire force at work for week.
 The value of the mines at Clifton is be- yond computation, and they are just the kind that excite the activity of eXtOrtion- CTS and black -mailers. "The best laid schemes O mice and men," etc.
