To-day, they have managed to cross the streams, and received the ever welcome MINER, by which l learn that Sheriff Thomas has absconded. am glad did not vote for him.
 also learn that, Gin order to have q Protestant church in Arizona), they are raising funds In the Eastern States. Now think that the most of North Arizona people are Protestants, and ought to be able 10 build at least one church. con. slider that belong to North Arizona, and partic- ularly Prescott; am not much of Methodist, but am Protestant enough to contribute little for . House Of Worship in Prescott. l have re- ceised Hs funds at this post for niDc months, and if had any there Is no safe way Of remitt'rg. IT the funds shall not be required before May or June pext, authorize you to put me down for 1fty dollars If required sooner, and you can, without any inconvenience to yourself, advance any amount not to exceed fifty dollars, please do SO. always intended to help finish that church, and was anxious to sec some person make start.

 The Indians here are very peaceable, thanks 10 Major Randall, our good iIndan) Governor.
 For the last four days the weather has been beautiful Last week we had but one rain shower, and that only hsted four days. It reminded me of Puget sound, only a shower there Is liable to last as many months, and sometimes more.
