ANOTHER TERRIBLE CASUAL
 TY!
A Man Perishes from Thirst.

Last week we gave an account of the death by drowning, of a man named Powers. He was one of a party of three, who arrived here from California on their way to the Pinal mines. The names of the other two were West and Althoff. On Thursday morning of last week these two started for the Pinal mines, and when few miles out of town left the road and took a hay road that leads off from the Gila and into the dry mesa. When about 25 miles out, West became exhausted and their water gave out. Althoff then came back to town to procure wa ter for his perishing companion and a team to bring him in. Re- dondo & Balz sent Adam Bossung with said Althoff, back, with a buggy and two horses and sup. ply hwater. When they got to the place where West was left, he was gone. They tracked him around as far as they could but could not find him and had to give it up, and returned to town at P. M, next day.
 Next morning Redondo & BaIz sent Robert Black out to search for the missing man. He was out two days, and the last day he was attracted by 8 flock of buzzards, and by that means found the dead body of West, which was partly eaten by the buzzards. MT. Black returned to town and Redondo & Balz sent out an ambulance in which were six men, who buried the remains.
 The place where the body was found is about F miles from Yuma and miles from the Gila river. West was apparently aged about 45 years. He served in the Union Army during the late war, and lost an arm at the battle of Balls Bluff.

.l Robbery at New River Station.

MT. Griffith, road agent for Kerens & Mitchelrs stage line, informs that on the night of the 18th while John White, station keeper at New River Station, was sleeping out doors in front of the house, three men came, and while one blind folded him the others bound him with ropes. The rob- bers then went into the house and took such things as they wanted. They took $55 belonging to the station keeper and his clothing and such other things as they could carry. They then went to the stable and stole some new brides, but singular to relate, took no horses. The robbers then de- parted, leaving White bound. When daylight came White called to some Mexicans who were camp ed near, and asked them to come and release him, but they would not do it. These Mexicans mount ed their horses and rode within twenty feet of White, he still ask ing them to unbind him, but they paid no attention to him.
 White then succeeded in gnaw- ing off one of the ropes with his teeth, and released himself He then came to Gardner's Station where MT. Griffith was stopping and related the circumstance. White must be a brave fellow, for MT. Griffith tells us. that he volun- teered to go back and take charge of the New River Station again. White says that the robbers all spoke good Spanish.

Fugitive Jesuits Ordered to Leave
 Costa Rica.

NEW YORK. August 14th.-The following is taken from a letter by an American resident in Costa Rica: 'In July a number of Jesuits entered the Republic of Costa Rica from Guatemala, whence they were expelled. When they arrived within ten miles of the capital they were or. dered to stop. Congress met the same day, and 200 Masons went in a body to the Congress hall and petitioned for the Jesuits' remo- val, as mischievous members of society. The President, who is a Mason, and several members pro- minent in debate and influence, made able speeches on the sub Ject. Congress finally voted them $15,000 for their immediate wants, and ordered them to leave the country.

LAST Monday we had a plea sant call at our sanctum, from Lieut.. Philip Reade, Acting Sig
 nal Officer and Superintendent of the Military Telegraph Lines in California Arizona and New Mexi- co. The Lieutenant is OF a tour of inspection of the whole line, and will go as far as Santa Fe. He is very pleasant gentleman, of fine personal presence, and is deeply in earnest in the work in which he is engaged. And it is a very important work, for on the completion of the line to Santa Fe, we will have another con- plete line of telegraph accross the continent. The great " Western Union" monopoly will then not have it all their own way. Peo- pie in Arizona and New Mexico, in telegraphing to the eastern States, will not be obliged to send their dispatches around by the way of San Francisco. The mili- tary telegraph has already been 8 great blessing to Arizona. The very light charges that the Gov ernment has placed upon dispatch es have enabled the people to telegraph freely, at small cost, and the press is favored in this matter in a very generous and liberal manner. We are glad that the management of the military tele- graph has fallen into such excel lent hands.

FISH MARKET.-Two of our en. terprising men, who are too mod est to have their names appear in print, during the early part of the summer, at odd times, made them a seine, and now they are hauling out lots of excellent fish which they sell at very low prices, at their market, in front of the sad dler's shop, on Main street. We like enterprise, particularly in the direction of good food, and fresh fish is both good and wholesome food, therefore we give the boys this advertisement, gratis.

Republican Victory in North Caro.
 lima.

NEW YORK, August 1.-The following dispatch concerning the result of the North Carolina elec- tiOn, was received from Hon. Thomas B. Keogh, Chairman of the Republican Committee here, last night:
 GREENBORO, August l4.-Have a clear majority in the Convention with two of our counties given to the Democrats by the Democratic County Committee. The Con- vention will restore them, which will give us at least seven maiOri- ty. The Associated Press dis patches are false, and are sent to endeavor to check the effect of our great Republican majority. We have carried the State by a popular vote of fully 18.OOO. The demoralization of the Democratic party in this State is complete. The leading men concede that the vote on both sides this year was larger than ever before. You cannot rely upon the Associated Press dispatches from this State. They are made up by the editors of the Democratic newspapers, who are doing what they can to prevent the Northern people be. lieving that a large majority of the people of this State are Re publicaRs to the core. North Ca rOlina is sure of the Presidential representation in 1876 by 26,OOO majority.

THE PULsE.-Every intellectual
person should know how to ascertain
the state of the pulse in health; then,
by comparing it with what it was
when he is ailing, he may have some
idea of the urgency of his case. Pa
rents should know the healthy pulse of
each child-as now and then person
is born with peculiarly slow or fast
pulse, and the very case in hand may
be that popularity. An infants pulse
is one hundred and forty; child of
seven, about eighty; and from twenty
to sixty years, it is seventy beats a
minute, declining to sixty at four
score. A healthful grown persons
pulse beats about seventy times in a
minute; there may be good health
down to sixty; but if the pulse always
exceeds seventy, there is desease;
the machine is working too fast, it is
working itself out; there is fever or
inflammation somewhere, and the body
is feeding on ITSELF as in consumption,
when the pulse is quick, that is over
seventy, gradually increasing, with
decreased chances of cure, until it
reaches one hundred or one hundred
and twenty, when death comes before
many days. When the pulse is over
seventy for months, and there is a
Sight h, the lungs are affected

EDITOR HERALD At last the ice
blockade of all the river towns has
yielded to the united influence of the
elemeats and the Father of Waters is
again open for navigation % the
first inst. the river opened opposite
Cassvilla, but ice was in sight above
and below town. On the third the
ice again started and came down in
large fields. Two large pieces came
in contact opposite town and wedged
in between the two opposite shores
so as to form again safe bridge.
The ice was crowded upon the banks
to such an extent that one might
have picked up ice enough on the
shore to supply the city Of New Or
leans the next summer. After this
gave way the ice passed down thick
and heavy. In fact, in 80 years resi-
dence on the Mississippi, | have never
witnessed such a break up Of the
Mississippi and such immense
amounts Of ice.

HAN, Wife Of Gabriel Hail, aged az years.
The sudden death of Mrs. Hail fell like a
pail upon her many friends, and her loss will
be deeply felt in our village, as she was not
only wife and mother in her home circle, but
had many Of those beautiful attributes of wo-
man that endear them to the hearts Of all who
come within the circle of their influence. No
better evidence of the esteem in which she was
held in the community could be given, than
was manifested in the large concourse of friends
who assembled to pay the last tribute to her
worth, notwithstanding the almost impassibility
of the roads. These tokens of respect FOR the
one passed away, and the deep sympathy man.
Tested for those left in affection will be ever
cherished with deep feeling Of gratitude in the
hearts of husband and family. Con-

Many people hesitate to try medicine for a
disease, on account of the expense, connected
with the uncertainty of its tenefting them;
while at the same time, had they confidence
in that remedy, the expense would be the least
objection With this fact in view, we make
the following proposition: Any person suffer-
ing with cold cough or sore throat, that will
call at W B. Baxter's or any other drug store
and purchase bottle of HALE'S COUGH
CORDIAL, use one half of it and, if they then
conclude that it is doing them 10 good, they
can return the bottle and receive back their

TIE MAN VINO STOPS Hrs PAPER.
Phillip Gilbert Hamilton, in his adj
mirable papers OH "Intellectual Life, !"
thus talks to man who stopped his
paper: newspapers are to the civ
ilized world what the daily house talk
is to the members of household; they
keep up our daily interest in each
other, they save us from the evils Of
isolation. To live as a member Of
the great white race Of men, the race
that has filed Europe and America
and colonized or conquered whatever
other territory it has been pleased to
occupy, to share from day to day its
cares, its thoughts and aspirations, it
is necessary that every man should
read his paper. Why arc the French
peasants so bewldered and at sea? 1t
is because they never read a newspa-
per And why are the inhabitants of
the United States, though scattered
over a territory fourteen times the
area of France, so much more capa
bic of concerted action; so much more
alive and modern; 50 much more in
terested in the new discoveries of all
kinds, and capable of selecting and
utilizing the best of them? 1t is be-
cause the newspapers penetrate every
where; and even the lonely dweller on
the prairie or in the forest is not in
tellectually isolated from the great
currents OF public life, which flow
through the telegraph and press"
