waukee has a genuine sensation, nothing
less than a legitimate haunted house. where
the spirits make things lively by Singing
stoves, chairs, pots, kettles, tables, and veg
etables at spectators. It's exciting, but
decidedly uncertain, when huge stove
iumps up and down, and suddenly strikes
ont from the shoulder at an unsuspecting
and unbelieving mortal. This forenoon,
at the house of VIM. Giddings, in Aliens
addition to the Twelfth ward, a sudden and
unaccouutable commotion commenced with
the furniture. Chairs went suddenly from
the floor up to the ceiling, and one broke
in falling back to the floor. Crockery
would fly from the cbina-close out upon
the floor and break in pieces. The teaket-
tie flew off the stove and upset, with Its
scaIdiup water, upon Mrs. Giddings, scald
ING her badly. An oil lamp flew from the
shelf and broke in pieces npon .he floor
Cooking vegetables flew from the stove
over the floor. a pail filed with earth and
flowers was taken from the door and flew
over a fence into the next yard. On being
brought back again it went flying over the
same fence. Wood from pile went flying
over the fence.
/ The floor of the house was filed with
the debris of broken chairs, crockery, &c.

Progress of the Telegraph.

E. Lieut.. Theo. Smith, superintendent of the government telegraph, arrived here from his tour of examination and location of the route between Tucson and Apache, on Wednesday evening. He left here De- cember ?, and during his absence made a satisfactory but rough trip, to and from Apache. He found deep snow and travel ed in some as heavy rains Gs he ever experienced. He finds the length of line between Tucson and Apache, will be 2l7 miles, and that from Lowell to Grant hut 90, showing l27 from Grant 10 Apache. The route ill the man is very favorable for building, but there is a section of pre- cipitOuS rocky country which will be ditfi- cult and slow to build over. From Tue son to Grant, the line will cross the road but twice. It will pass just back of w. A. smiths station on San Pedro; thence via Point of Mountain; t h ence to Grant; thence to and down the Gila valley to the crossing of the Gila just seventeen miles above San Carlos; thence in quite di- rect line to Apache. San Carlos beIng no permanent post, the line will not be caF- red 10 it, but d station will be established at. the GlIa Crossing, and from It a few hours only will be required in cOmmuni- cation. Poles are abundant in the Gra- ham mountains and mountains between tine Gila and Apache, but the snow is now too deep to get them Out-the snow in Graham mountains being live feet. R. H. Howe was left at Apache with a party 10 push forward the work as fast as the weather will permit.
 Lieut.. smith finds that he will need for ty-ODe miles more wire than now provided, and that all expenses above the means now at Iis disposal, will be about Sl0,000. But his estimates are made for first-claSS work and material, so that when done the line will compare favorably for durability fte leave for san Diego to close up his reports for 1874.

Tucson Public Schools.


 These schools closed on Thursday till af- on that day and were truly pleased with the unmistakeable evidences of thorough progress. They opened in Septem ber-the boys department under Mr. Willis B. Horton, ,~and the girls under Miss Etta Packer. Mir. Horton obligeS us with some data, viz Fifty were enrolled in Septem- Der and the average daily attendance was 24.G in October SiXty-one were enrolled and 3627 was the average attendance in November siXty-eight were enrolled and 4350 the average attendance; in Decem- Der eighty-tWC were enrolled and 49.U the average attendance. The average each day for the four months, Was 3S.14 It is proper 10 say that but for the feast days and holidays in this month, the average would have reached about sixty. The whole mum Der in attendance was ninety one. It will be seen that the increase was large each month-a very high cOmpi- meut to the teacher. He surely has enlist ed sharp interest among the pupils, such as is so marked in the first-class schools in the old States. His methods of instruction and intelligent zeal
 In the girls department, the number enrolled WaS tWenty-four and the average attendance twenty, which is a high aver age for the nun Der registered, and IS the best possible evidence of the hold the teacher has upon her pupils. Rapid prog reSS has been made in the branches taught, Miss Packer procured at her own expense, music books for her school, and the ad- vance of the pupils in correct vocal music is gratifying. We heard a few recitatiOns in music, Reclamation, reading and dia- lOgue, and each showed training of the order that ly instructs. The depOrt- ment of tine pupils is notable, and all in all, the Tucson public schools are regard ed in competent hands and worthy of all possible encouragement.

THE concert Wednesday evening

THE concert Wednesday evening was not such success as it deserved to be, but the causes are apparent and are not any lack of appreciation on the part of the community for the splendid Fifth Cavalry band, nor of it's want of hberality. No effort was made to sell ticket until the doors opened for the performance, and the evervbody was occupied SO much r ' With his is or her individual affairs, that interest in other matters was difficultto awaken. We are convinced, with proper effort, the court t-house can be filled 10 hear the con- cert prepared for Wednesday evening" However, the band deserve the thanks of this community for their part. Both in- strumental and vocal music was of the best and was so pronounced by those pres ent.

ABOUT the "thinnest" hope ever seri- ously indulged in by men hereaway, is that in certain contingencies, headquar- ters of this military department would be established in Tucson. There is not power and influence enough in Arizona to secure such a change, for we don't believe, after such expenditures for buildings and nec- eSSary improvements at Prescott for head quarters, that Gen. Crook-if so inclined would be permitted to make the change. Headquarters are worth to place more than all other public institutions in the Territory, and of course we would like to see the same here. But the very idea is absurd and those who indulge it have lit- tie correct notion of the management of public affairs. Our Territory has addition al favors involving public expense, to ask Of government, and it would put any one seeking the change named, in the attitude of an eXtravagant simpletOn, to whose re- quest it would be folly to listen, and be al- most a criminal waste of public funds, to grant.

Increased Speed and Comfort.

It will be seen by advertisement to-day, that kerens & Mitchell are doing what they announced they would do, when they became contractors for carrying the mali between San Diego and Mesilla. They went to work with a will and got an order reducing the time of carrying the mail on the route from thirteen 10 eight days, and of course increased cOmpenSa- tiOn. They at once announced faster time and superior accommodations. This of course is just what suits our people, at
 least many Of them who of necessity ride much by stage between here and Yuma and san Diego. It is their purpose, if they succeed in getting daily mail ordered on the route, 10 improve accordingly. A daily service would accommodate all peo- pie whose mail passes over tue IOute, and the arguments are stronger for 1t than even could have been offered for daily service between Santa Fe and Fl PaSO. We are glad the people on that route have a daily, and also that daily connects Los Angeles aud san Diego, and hope that the connecting section between San Diego and MeSllla will also be soon made daily. Aside from more prompt mails, a great deSideratum to citizens, civil and military authorities, we will also be better served in the matter Of passenger accOmmOda- tiOns, whereby people will find It easier to visit our Territory and examine into our advantages for business and homes, and those Of our own citizens who need to travel out and in can do it with more cOm- fcrt and speed. Messrs. Kerens x Mitch- ell are men who work forward and not backward, and they have already deServ- ed well Of the Territory.
 YESTERDAY was Merry Christmas. The children of Tucson enjoyed 1t as they al. ways do, for the merchants here are ever liberal with them on that day. A few of the grown up children enjoyed a tuSSIe with John BarleycOrn and Johns relatives, and the latter are as fresh for a continued tussle as before this occasion. The jour nalS Which have more space than news or ideas, can do the sermOniZing for the day, and THE CITIZEN will merely attend to business.
 Col. NJ. G. BOYLE, superintendent of the Sonora company, was not obliged to go to London, and was in Cincinnati on his re- turn via Santa Fe, on the Fist instant. The company's affairs are doubtless placed in good and working condition byth in- corporation described in THE CITIZEN last ing of the Tucson and GuaymaS railway. Col. Boyle will surely be here soon and start work in earnest.
 DOUBT is expressed as to the truth of the reported death of General Carr, Lieut-Col. Fifth Cavalry, although Col. ROyall tells us that Lieut.. POillOn, who is. a truthful man, so wrote Lieut.. Ward, and that he died in Europe. We have seen no official notice of it, nor has Col. ROyall of Gen. Carr's regiment. .-.- -.
