THE MEsILLA NEWS, N. M., of July IS, has these items of some interest in Arizo- na:
 A gentleman of the Castilian persua- sion who seems to make decent living by stealing, was some few days since over hauled by MeXicans from Arizona, at Cow springs, Grant county, who charged him with taking by mistake from Camp Apa- che, two horses and a mule; one of the an imalS was still in his possession, the Oth- CTS he had disposed of at a low figure but which were also subsequently, recovered. The pursuers doubtless wishing to impress upon the noble man the fact of the meet wagon wheel and gave him his backpay with compound interest with the end of rope; and then cut off his left ear, which the friends carried back to Arizona. He was then permitted to strike out afoot in the direction of the Rio Grande. Upon arriving at the MimbreS he charged the whipping and mutilatiOn upon the Ind ianS, whom he said had robbed him of all his little herd of cattle with the exception of five cows, which he had been compell- ed to leave at Cow springs in consequence of their being tender footed, and which he sold for a song, unseen, 10 deniZen of the Mim bres; who lost the time on his way to possess himself of his newly acquired pur- chase.
 For the benefit of our neighbors in Ari- zona of whom animals have been stolen, we we would advise them to send descrip- tiOns of such animals to the Rio Grande. It perhaps may work out some good, as there are many horses and mules being brought here which would well bear an investigation.

OUR neighbors in Colorado and New Mexico are suffering in some parts from Indian raids. Early in July the savages killed five men near Trinidad, and three men near the Dry Cimarron and run off several hundred head of stock. Two Amer jeans named Chase a nd Bu Ter were killed, who were good and peace able citi- zens. Antonio M. Lucero, a peaccable and industrious Mexican was killed. Men women and children have been compelled to run away from their houses to escape from the savages.
 A Mexican was found killed on the stage road between Las Vegas and Santa Fe, and near the mail station only about four miles from Las Vegas.
 The Indians attacked a train but after hard fighting were repulsed.
 A correspondent writing at Las Vegas to The Mesilla News says Col. Alexander and Capt McCleave are after the Indians and that the military have orders to pursue and severely punish all hostile Indians. It is to be hoped that New Mexico will be found to contain one or more General Crooks,

OUR Prescott dispatches show that the Indian scouts at San Carlos have about closed out the career of the notorious ChuntZ and his gang of outlaws. It is next to impossible for the sharpest Ind ians to long escape capture under the op- eration of troops and scouts acting by di- rection of Gen. Crook.

LETTER FROM FLORENCE.
Wheat and Barley Crops-- Mining Activity--POtatO Crop a Failure Planting for Home Use--NO Sale for Farm PrOduce--DulI Times.

FLORENCE, July 22, 1874
 EDITOR CTTIZEN:-I have been Intend- ing to furnish you with a statement in regard to the amount of wheat and barley raised on the Gila this year, but as want to give correct and reliable one will not be able for some days yet to do so, as many of our farmers have not their grain stacked. The season has been much later than last year, on account Of cool weather in May when the grain was ripening which makes it light, and afterwards we had great difficulty Tn getting harvest hands. Very few PapagO's came to the Gila during the harvest. It is estimated that the crop will be less by about one fifth of that of last year.
 We have considerable mining excite ment here at present. Capt. Rogers is out in the Pinal country with party of pros pectoTs; and Sheriff Hays of Maricopa county, in company with another party from the Gila, leave to-day for the PinaI country. They all express a determna- tion to find mines if there are any in the country. God speed them, we all say, for without them this country is not worth much. There is too much production and too little consumption at present for farm ing to be paying business. We want teams and miners to eat up our barley, flour and bacon, or else we have no mar ket for them.
 The potato crop here has been failure. The yield has been very light and they are rotting before maturing. In a conVer- satlon had with MT. Gay yesterday, and he is one of the best farmers on the river, he told me that his crop was not worth the gathering Some are trying the eXper- iment Of planting them now, to see how they will turn out in November My opinion is that the Gila and Salt river country have not the climate for the Irish potato. The sweet potato seems to do well in some places.
 Our farmers are putting In corn and beans now but only sufficient for their own use, as there is absolutely no sale for any kind of farm produce here. I have lived in frontier country all my life, but I never yet have seen place where mon- ey is as scarce as it is here on the Gila- times are terrible hard here, the worst ever saw-and no prospect of their getting any better for a long time.
 We have had no rain as yet of any con- sequence, although it has passed all around us. B.

A Model School Teacher.

We take pleasure in referring again tc
Miss Gilman, teacher of the model Interme-
date school on Grove street. because we think
that real merit and true worth should always
receive public recognition, as it may stimu-
late others to ''go and do likewise" Twenty
years ago the present summer, when Miss
Gilman took charge of that school on Grove
street, there were some eighteen or twenty
young men who were accustomed to come into
the school room in state of intoXication,
and many well filled bottle of the intoxicani
did she take from them. One young man,
now wealthy and influential citizen of Au
gusta, from whom she once took away his
liquor, says he owes everything to her, his
teacher. She was the first intermediate
teacher who had an examination of her school
and since the Inauguration of this plan, the
annual examination of schools of this grade
and the lower grade has continued. Miss
has received repeated calls to school;
of higher grade, in this and other States, but
has declined them all, preferring rather to re-
main in her present honorable and resporsi-
BILE position, and toll on for. the good of hu-
manity and the world.

Eennebec County Jail Workshops.

| Workmen have begun to make the neces-
sary alterations in the kennebec county Jail,

| the prisoners. a measure determined upon by
| the county commissioners some time since.
Au entrance is being cut in the basement of
| the northeast corner, where there is win

| outside to the workshops. Dimensions of the
| door. four by seven and half feet. All the
| material will be received here and the goods
| in boxes delivered from this entrance. A
| gateway will be made in the fence of the jail
yard opposite the entrance. This door leads
| into a cell that will be given up for an entry
| way, and which is we'll adapted to that pur-
pose. From thence stairs will lead up to the
poor debtors room, first story above the base
| ment. Here door will be cut through to
| the first work shop, which will be built on the
north side of the Jail, running the entire
| length of the cells between the cells and the
main wall. The second workshop will be
above the first, and of the same size, which
will be reached by flight of stairs from the
| ing the workshops proper, will be the building
of the flooring, a brick wall at the northwest
| ern end, and the necessary stairs. fhis will
be comparatively small expense to the county
| and is a much wiser plan on the part of the
| commits soners than others that have been
suggested. 1t will give two workshops, each
| of which will be about ten feet wide and sixty

end Of the Jail. The masonry work is being
done under the superintendent of Henry A.

Sour Stomach.

If the TODD taken into the stomach is not digest

is developed which causes sour eructation, else

These extremely disagreeable sensations are at
tributable to impaired digestion. To get rid of
them or prevent their recurrence, it is only neces
sary to tone and regulate the gastric organs with
