ANNIVERSARY BALL.-Soeial parties gotten up under the auspices Of members of the Masonic fraternity are usually quite select and often ee- gant. There is no such thing known in Mason " as "Masoric ball" or party, but members of the Order often take ,he responsibility of the management and thus give to the party quasi Masonic character. Monday, December 27th, be- ing the Anniversary of that eminent Christian patron of Masonry, St. John the Evangelist has heen chosen by members of Aztlan Lodge as a proper time to give social party, which will no doubt be one of the most agreeable and elc- gant ever known in Prescott

Col, HoDGE's LEcrrRE.-The lecture, on Tuesday evening, at the Courthouse, was we'll at tended by an attentive and appreciative audience Tue range of subjects for discussion was too wide to admit of minutencss of detail, but iu the the hour and half occupied in it. delivery, a vast amount of curious information was elicited with reference to the habits and traditions oi che Indian tri6es their religion, etc, especially che Zuuis, whom he regards as the most interes- ting, intelligent and hospitable of all the native races of the country. His theory is that they arc the original ancient Aztccs, portion of whom went South, conquered tue Totccs of South Mexico and were the people fo md there by Cor tez at the time of the conquest, and are dcsceud- ents of the Mentezumas of history.
 He drew quite a glowing picture of the future Sf Arizona, giving tho preference to the South for ts grazing and agricultural resources, and to shis middle portion of the Territory for its mine raj wealth Of the extreme North he could not sPcak, not having visited that portion yet.
 The fears expressed of another Indian out. break in couseqence of bad management at San Carlos VIC trust will not be realized. The dis patches represent affairs dowu there in a better light than formerly, and as winter approaches il is to be hoped the attraction of the Government raticas, If no better influence, may induce the ssraggling bands to accept the situation and 20 apoa the reservation. Once fairly domiciled and accussoned to their new quarters, they will doubtless be better satisfied. unless the policy shall be to again remove them to some other place and thus again unseftie and make them dscontented.

CROWDED 0ur.-Frequently people say to us "why didn't you publish this or tha, which is of much importance" and when we have answered crowded out" they seem quite astonished because we have made room in the paper for other matter that is utterly worthless. Now the reason why we do this is that every thing can't be done at once, we are obliged to keep at work. Those who have important matter that they want pub lished hold it back until the last hour before publication, and in the mean time we have been compelled to set up this inferior truck for the want of something better, and when the good comes we haven't time to get 1t in type, dye see, and must use what we've got
