MUSIC AT FORT WHIrPLE-The second Of the series of sources muSicales instituted by Lieut.. Wilhelm was given at Fort Whpple on Wednes- day evening last The audience larger and the civilian element better represented than on the preceding occasion. The programme was well selected and equally well rendered. Of the instrumentalists Mrs. A. V. Kautz as plan iste, and A. E. Wieniawski, as violinist, are especially worthy of praise The ever delightful Schubert Serenade" and the overture of " Poet and Peasant were most cxquisitely rendered hy them The concerted pieces Of the Eighth h. fantry Band were, of course, thoroughly well executed. The vocal music was superb The duet from R Irordtore was harmonously given by Mrs Kautz and MT. Garrett and the '" Bells go Ringing for Sarah" merrily sung by Miss Kitty Ilitchcock-both of which were enthusias- tically applauded- the vocal portion of the first part. In the second part, the beautiful "Evening Song to the Virgin" was admirably given by Mrs. F. D. Thomas and Miss Carrie Wilkins. The quaint and pathetic "Old Black Joe" with chorus Congregational in which Capt Nickerson and Lieut.. Ross distinguished thcmselvcs), sung by Mir. Garrett, was encored, and in response to the call that versatile gentle man gave "Finnegan's Wake" The other song was Gounod's "Canti Ridi DOrmi," which swectly and artistically rendered hy Mrs. Kautz. The whole arrangements were excellent, and the programme was executed with ability by all the ladies and gentlemen who contributed to the enjoyment of pleasant evening. We again con- gratuate Lieut. Wilhelm on the success of the concerts, and thank him on behalf of the town folk who were fortunate enough to be present.

TIE CONDITION OF THE ROADs.-The reader who has not travelled the roads leadipg out of Prescott, during or since the storm Of last week, may form an idea of their condition from our experience in coming from Skull Valley, on the blackboard, on Thursday and Friday, which of course included Thursday night
 In the first place, the ground was thoroughly saturated with rain, then came fall of soft, wet, slushy snow, and on top of that, layer of dry snow,-the latter thawed little on top during the day, and froze at night, forming a crust; this the horses had 10 break with their feet, not only, but were obliged to drag the wheels through it on either side besides the mud and slush beneath, which were enough of themselves to make tray cling very difficult. The fact that the night was bitter cold and froze the top of the snow to a glare of ice, did not interfere with the mud and snow beneath, and to say that it was q miserable trip is but feeble attempt to convey an idea of how much one suffers, and how hard the labor of teams, and drivers whose business it is to face the storms and bad roads, no matter how severe. For seven hours while cn the way in, from Mint Valley, it was impossible to make mile an hour with four good horses and two as good dri- vers as can be found in the country, for, where Bill Reid and Jim Carroll fail 10 make time, it is safe to say there is something the matter Right here while think of it, on behalf of ourself who was the only passenger, and the two drivers, we desire to return thanks to Mir. Dearing, of Mint Valley, for refreshing us with cup of strong, hot coffee, that cold night; and to MT. Blair, of Burnt Ranch, who played towards us the part of a monk of San Bernard to the Alpine traveller, and placed us before blazing fire while our tired and hungry team renewed their strength at his fodder stack and corn-crib.

STILL WoRsE.-Ben Baker, who drives the blackboard, in the direction of the Little Cobra do, carrying the mails for New Mexico, informs us that the roads are perfectly awful, in fact worse than ever before known.
 Last week, the driver from Cerbat, in Mohave county, had 10 abandon his blackboard at Juni per Mountain, and bring the mail in on horse back. He says the snow is four feet deep on tbc Juniper range.>

OLD AcQUAISTANCES.- Merely as an example of how the old Argonauts, failing to find the golden fleece in one country separate go in diver gent directions aud after years of fruitless quest, again come together in far off attitudes, we men ton that in leaving San Francisco, in December, for the far South, felt as if we going into q strange land where we would be as little likely to meet an acqdaintance, as if we were bound 10 the diamond mines of South Africa. On our arri- val in Prescott, however, our mind was soon dis abused of this hcresy. Nearly the first man we met was Rudolph Pifferling, whom we had known all over California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Nevada. Then came Dan Thorne, Hutchinson, Tim Gleason, John Shawn und Wm Nash from Idaho, Jake Marks from Elko, Nevada, and we can't now remember how many more of the old timers. A week later and hepe came Joe James and wife, from Tehama, California; so that, instead of going among strangers, we felt as if we had got home And home we are endeavoring to make it.

The little stuckupedness of the Independent
so seldom gives the manufacturing establish
ments Of Bellaire any attention, that it grieves
him to find anything in any other journal in
regard to them. The fact is, he did not pre-
pare the article in question for his o,on paper.
1t was furnished him by the company, and
was given him to publish, so that he might
have "a rest!" The company desired the re-
suit of this contest to reach the people, and to
that end, it was necessary to publishit in some
other paper. The President of the company,
Judge Anderson, visited our office and pre-
sented us with the manuscript of our article.
