 in constant operation, and is turning out large amount of good flour.
 ! CONGRESS- street has been very much
 improved by filling In earth taken from
 the cellar being built for James Toole's store-house. %
 THE raffie for Lieut.. Rodgers magnifi- urday evening and was won by Captain Crandall.
 READ the advertisement of Morrison & Palmer, manufacturers of soda water and
 
 delivered free at Sl.50 per dozen. Fine wines, liquors and cigars kept. WE have had several windy days this
 week, which indicate early rains. We have not consulted Capt. Gay upon the subject, but from the dust in the streets,
 and great need of water, we are led to i hope that the Captain may predict speedy
 and protracted rains.
 l.. NJ. JACOBS X Co. and Theodore Vel isch received very large importatiOns of
 goods thls week. The other merchants
 each received more or less additions to
 their stocks. The amount of goods re- ceived and sold in Tucson is really aston- ishing.
 WE notice that the birds from early morn until night-fall, are busy every mo-
 ment either making nests or feeding the young. How many human beings could learn lessons of wisdom by watching and initiating the birds, but unfortunately there are too many who neither build nests nor help to feed their young. J. s: MANSFIELD has a complete stock of choice candies. Any one who desires to be popular with the children or have the girls love them should patroniZe Mans field. He also keeps choice tobacco and cigars, and the latest periodical news papers and choice books; also sends for anything in the line that may be desired.
 Col. HODGE left Monday the 7th for the San Carlos, and from there he goes to Apache and the Zuni and Moqui Villa ges, and will then return to Tucson and write up an account of his trip, and there after go to Florence, Phenix, Wickenburg, Prescott and other places in northern Ari. Zona. The Colonel is an observing travel CT and wields a graceful, vigorous pen.
 THE public schools will close on Friday the lth inst, until the cool weather comes and the new schoOl-hOuse is con- pleted, which will take place about the lst of September. The schools will have an examination at the courthouse next Fri day, commencing at 10 o'clock a. m. The public are cordially invited to be pres- ent to witness the progress that the chil- dren have made. There will be singing, some pieces spoken, and an examination in the various studies. We believe that any one will be repaid for the time requir- ed to visit this examination, and we hope that the parents in particular, and all who are interested in schools will be present.
 WE had a friend who once wrote home from California to his parents, that he was engaged In the lumber business, owned a mill, sold his lumber for cash, contracted no debts, paid his hands every night, etc. This announcement created quite a stir in the neighborhood where he was born, and many of the old women shut one eye and declared that they knew when he was a baby that he had head for business. The mill he boasted of consisted of a saw-pit and he bossed one end of the saw, while his partner bossed the other. Upon the theory of our friends independence, there are good many independent men In Tucson, for we counted this week seven of these saw-mills making most excellent lumber.
 WE mentioned last week that Nash & Co. are bringing out some new machinery fOr a radunfiOro Of OraS Tbara haN-o boar
