In Yuma, April 9th, 1875, to the wife of Mayor A. J. Finlay,a son.

4 young fellow in San Francisco suddenly snatched kiss from a lady friend, and excused his con- duct by saying that it was a sort of temporary insanity that now and then came upon him.

THE scene was lively last We'd nesday morning at the steamboat landing, foot of Main street. The Gil0 starting up the river with her barge carrying four hundred tons of merchandise and mining machinery-the COcOpGh starting down to connect with the NeU. bern at the mouth of the river, a long row of prairie schooners moOred up to the steamboat house to receive their freight for the in- terior, d host of men of all colors and nationaIitieS rushing to and fro, loading and unloading and manning these various craft, the eternal and inevitable peanut merchant, the apple boy and the tamales, vendor, the goodbye of parting friends, the saorting of the steam '. :. Isl.es, the wheels of the steamers paving the water as though impatient of restraint, the crowds of l0afers and street. arabs, who thronged the landing and adjacent hills, all went to make up not only an interesting scene of business activity, but a fine cosmopolitan picture.
 Business is increasing on the river. This is but the first low hum. It will soon be be mighty surge. Capital and science are being brought to bear on the vast mining region above, and we may soon expect to see every day such scenes of commercial activity as we have faintly des- cribed. Put your shoulders to the wheel, men Of Arizona, and we will soon have good times.

YUMA PUBLIC SCHOOL.

L<CDtCOI OCfOOUOCO
 Gov. Stafford, when visiting our school March 1st, to encourage earnest work left five $1.OO prizes to be distributed in the boys de- partment, to those who should make greatest progress during the month. I have the pleasure of handing you the result of the contest The school was divided into five divisions, each scholar having a chance to compete for one of the prizes, and one only.
 The first division was composed of those in Written Arithmetic. On account of absence there was no contest, and the prize will be given to the boy whose standing is the highest the present month.
 The second division was com posed of those in Primary Geo. graphy. Four boys worked very energeticalIy to the last for this prize. 1 give their names ana standing below:
 Efren Gonzales. -9S 3-l0 per cent Francisco Amabisca. ---.95 , 10 Jesus Daniel 5-l0 Francisco Leal.. 40
 The third division was compos- ed of those in the First Reader. Not quite as much vim was ex- pressed in this, as in the second. The lucky boy was
 Felipe Ambisca. ... .95 l-l0 per cent
 The fourth division was those in the Primer. This is d live class and the little boys have done no- bly,. The winner was
 Joaquin Finlay y.-------94 5-l0 per cent
 The fifth division was the chart. class. In this it was a tie. Gonzalo MOlino. -.----..----.98 per cent Ermojenes Lorona a.-.----..95
 I divided the money between tn em.
 The scholars have been marked 10 for all perfect recitations, 1 off for each failure, and 5 off for tar diness in every instance. The standing given = the average during the month.
 ! would say thag quite q num- Der of boys whose standing in TO- citation have been above 99 per cent, have .o5t their prizes by absence And lrG.ness; and, by the way, tardiness in our school is the greatest drawback we have to work against. We earnestly ask parents to help us in this res- pect. A. G. POST.
