In addition to the fire inside, a lighted Chinese lantern hung below by wire.

 The committee ou water-works made the fol- lowing report:
 Report of Committee oa Irater Works.-rhe town of Prescott can be supplied with good clean and healthy water from a creek known as Maple Gulcb, about three miles from town, led through diteh or Hume across a low divide into gulch known as George Lount's creek, at A point suitable for dam. 4 large reservoir can and ought to be constructed, large enough to hold 3-month's supply, in case of drouth, from which the water can be conducted in pipes to a suitable place in town for another reservoir from which the water can be distributed through town in pipes.
 We are unable to correctly estimate the cost at present, but believe it will be within the means that can be raised for the purpose. The benefits derived we believe would be treble the amount it would require to do the work. Res pectfuy submitted, CA. LUXE,

REMAINS OF A. c. SWAIN BROUGHT TO PRES corr FOR BugIAL-P McAteer, of Kirkland val lev, brought in on Tuesday evening the remains of A. c. Swain, who was murdered by Indians on the 1lth of March, 1873. We copy the following from the MINER of the 18th and 22d of March of that year:
 WICKEsBURG March 12, 1873. Yesterday A. C. Swain and another man were murdered by lndi- ans, at a point twelve miles below here on the road to Phoenix. Tuesday, Swain left home for the purpose of taking water and provisions to some men in bis employ at or near Nigger Wells. On bis return, as Is shown by apparent indica- tions, he was overtaken by 300 or 100 Indians who were going from East to West. and art supposed 10 be bound for Date Greek reservation, and there killed in company with the other man.
 On the 22d the MINER published another letter from Wickenburg tbat gave the name of the oth- CT man as John Mcdonald, who was on his way from Smiths Mill to Wickenburg. He had start ed early in the morning and evidently arrived on the ground before the savages had finished their dabolical work of murdering Swain. The re- mains were buried here on Wednesday afternoon.

Nor SATIsFIED.-The farmers and miners con- plain of the change of time for holding the Dis trict Court.
 Formerly when the Court met the Sd Monday in June, it was after the corn was planted, the water in the gulches had failed and the people were at leisure. Now it meets the first Monday in May, when it is the greatest hardship to leave both farms and mines. Planting is neglected, and the water in the mines is allowed to run away to no purpose.
 We have often been asked why and by whom the change was made, and as we don't know, we put the question to those who do, and ask in be- half of the people that it be changed back to June, or even later, so as to accommodate those who are obliged to attend as jurors, witnesses, etcetera.

THE END.
For the Hartford Herald.
THE LESSON OF LIFE.

When everything is counted. 1t will be
found that the sum total Of our lives re-
solves itself into but two things, and these
are anticipation and memory. The pleas.
ures and miseries OF the moment are
ephemeral, and only to be taken note Of
they leave their record in the past.
In youth. life is richest in anticipation;
but as years roll on, the mind acquires
the habit of looking backward; and when
old age has come. there is nothing left this
side Of the grave. Fortunate is that man
who, in the midst Of the cares and tur.
moils of busy and often unsatisfactory
life, has happy childhood to look back
upon picture gallery of loving faces
that once formed home circle: a record
of sunny years which includes all Of the
kindnesses that loSing parents could im>
part
Whoever robs child of these pleas

to him in any way. A close, hard, mar
row life lived in childhood dwarls his
whole nature, and leaves for him no bless.

when the present becomes unsatisfying.
Therefore. provide for your children all
the enjoyments you can. In doing this,
you not only give them present pleasure
which is a great deal, as in youth i'm
pressions are stronger and more readily
received, and the capacity for enjoyment
consequently greater for him in memories
which shall last him all his life.
| Let the atmosphere which surrounds
your children be so impregnated with
kindness that they shall breathe it 10, as
it were, at every inspiration. Their
hearts will grow larger and their blood
run clearer and purer.

80 upright and pure that, when you have
passed away, your memories shall be en-
shrined in their hearts, and halo will
surround them. Sitting by the evening fire.

WE had no idea, until within the last
few days, that our Radical friends were
so solicitous for the welfare Of the Dem
ocracy of Ohio county. Why, to hear
them talk, one would suppose that all
their hope for happiness hung upon a
war "for principle" between the Demo
Gratis and Changers of the county, and
in which conflict they propose to be our
right trusty friends and loyal allies
But with all their soft-solder and blair,
ney they failed 10 "catch a weasel
asleep.
There is not-there cannot be--strife
betwixt the Democrats and the Gran
gers. They both labor to the same end.
The Changers, in putting forward far
mers candidate for the Legislature,
were wise enough to select gentleman
of irreproachable character, one whose
record as a voter has been answering
ly Democratic, and who is known
throughout the length and breadth Of
the county as an honorable, heightened
gentleman; an industrious and intelli'
gent farmer, and a man whose probity
is above all question. He is candi'
date whom no Democrat can be ashamed
of supporting. He still claims to be a
Democrat, and the resolutions adopted
by the Changers at the time ofhisnom'
ination, are brimful of excellent Dem.
ocratic doctrine.

GEN. FRANK BLAIR.
His Sudden Death at I'd. Louis, Thurs
day Might.

ST. LOUIS, July 9-Gen. Frank P.
Blair, jr., died at half past eleven O'Clock
last night. Although the General had
been sick long time without any hope OF
recovery. his death was sudden and at
the time unexpected
1t seems that the immediate cause OF
Gen. Blair's death last night was a fall
he received while walking from one room
TO another in his house. He had been
out for drive in the afternoon. He re-
turned about 5 o'clock, and seemed to
have enjoyed it much, and received con-
siderable benefit, but while walking in
his room he was attacked with dizziness,
and fell, striking his temple against a
piece Of furniture, which rendered him
insensible. Medical aid was Immediate
y summoned, and every effort made to
restore him 10 consciousness, but without
success
At half past II he quietly passed away,
surrounded by all the members of his
family. His parents have been tele-
graphed TO, and will probably arrive here
in time for the funeral Sunday. The
family desire a quiet funeral, but the
members of the old First Missouri regi-
ment, of which Gen. Blair was the first
colonel, have called a meeting for to-
morrow. and will probably decide to ac-
company the remains of their old COM
msuper to his grave; and'otber organiza-
tions may determine to do likewise
