After which he will proceed to Cincinnati and spend day or two among relatives, thence tO Cleveland, and on to Northern New York to see his parents. From thence he will go to Philadelphia, and while there will represent the MINER, as "a special correspondent, and as such will have all the advantages of position, etc, accorded to the representatives of the Metropolitan Press, the Board of Finance very conside- raely having established special q epart- ment for journalists, in order 10 facilitate as much as possible their means of obtaining information. After cavorting about over the country for q season he may marry, but in any event by the time the new school house is completed he will return to Pres cott and resume his profession. He expects to be accompanied by a sister who will be employed as an assistant in the school, and, If as weare informed and believe, sheis equal or superior to him in the management of children and imparting of knowledge, they will make such team, and conduct such a school as will be the admiration and pride not only of Yavapai but of all Arizona, and from the mountains to theS Sea.
 Quite crowd gathered at the Postoflice, including number of his pupils, to see him of. and when the driver cracked his whip, a shout rent the air, and three cheers and a tiger went up for sherman.

A STINGER.-Being in church on Sunday evening, we were quite entertained with an excellent discourse on the necessity of an ac- quaintance with the Almighty, but more particularly struck with the force of an illus tration in which the preacher maintained that though the bee built his cell in exact conformity to geometrical rules, with per feet angles, etc, yet the bee knew nothing of geometry, and was only yan instrument in the hands of Deity to peform this work. ''The power is behind the bee," exclaimed the enthusiastic speaker, and repeated with emphasis 1.-THE POWER Is BEHINDTHE BEE upon which a friend suggests that he evi- dently had allusion to the business end of the bee, at least such presumption accords with our friends experience, who is ready to be qualified that the power was behind the bee with which ne once experimented.

LOOK AFTER YOUR SToCK.-Stock men will consult their own interests by needing the warnings we have given from time to time with reference to the destruction of crops by predatory stock. The farmers, whose whole dependence is upon their crops, cannot afford to have them eaten up by the horses, cattle, sheep or hogs, of other people and they will not stand it. Many of the far mers are not situated so as to take up and post the stock that comes to prey upon their fields, for the reason that they neither have the pasture nor feed to accommodate them, ,'and if they had, the estray law, if strictly followed, involves so many and such expensive and intricrate requirements that few men who do not make the law business or profession know how to proceed, in order 10 keep within the law, nor have they the time or means to spare necessary to take up and post them legally, therefore il should not be very surprising to hear that in some cases some not very gentle means had been resorted to in order to get rid of them. The safest, easiest and best way to avoid trouble will be for each man to look after his own stock and see that they do not trespass upon the property of others. Hon. l.. A. Stevens of Willow Creek informs us that there is scarcely day passes that he or his men do not have to turn strange stock out of some of his fields. He does not want to go to the trouble nor put the owners of the stock to the expense of posting, feeding and taking care of these animals, but will be driven to it as measure of self protection unless the owners come and take them away and that speedily. There is no time to spare as after the crops are eaten it will be too late to repair the damage, therefore some thing must be done at once

MUST BE SToPPED.-The habit of prowl- ing about other peoples premises and reck- lessly shooting within the Village limits, are two things that have got to be attended to and that promptly, as the people will not stand it. \ lot of irresponsible loafers have no more right to get out in the street at night and fire off pistols to the annoyance and alarm of quiet people, than they have to throw stones through the windows of peo- ple's houses, and whenever such things oc- eur, it is the duty of the officers to arrest and lodge the perpetrators in jail for trial. On quite vOlley of firearms somewhere on Granite street. whether with malicious or felonious intent or simply ill a spirit of bragadOcio is of no consequence; one is as bad as the othOr, unless perhaps, if they would kill each other they might do some good and mitigate the offence somewhat. This is a law-loving and law-abiding people, willing to pay their taxes and perform all the duties devolving upon them as citizens, but they desire in return that protection which is that they shall not be wantonly disturbed in the nighttime by reckless shooting in the streets. Those who receive pay from the taxes of the people to protect their persons and property, should make note of these hints and see to it that repe- tition of the scenes of Sunday night shall be followed by swift and adequate punishment.

FoRT WHIPPLE MINsrREI.s.-The soldier boys from the Post gave one of their inimf- table entertainments on Monday evening, at the Courthouse, to as large an audience as it was possible pack within the walls of the building. The performance was quite up to popular expectation, and showed that the boys had not been idle in making prepara- tion for tliis event. Bob Davis took charge of tine tamborine; H. Rundell handled the bones, and G. X Ochus occupied the position Of interlocutor in the center, filled in by T.. Sullivan, J. 1T. Ryan. Geo. Smith, Kit Reyn- olds, and DeBoiS. We have not space 10 particularize further than to say that the Songs, Little old Log Cabin in the Lane," Little Brown Cot" and "Old Black Joe' were well executed with the exception of a manifest want of volume in the voice and a little more attention to the matter of articula- ton. Much of the effect is lost in sentiment tai singing unless the nearer can understand the words. 1.-The Three HnnterS," the Dan- cling, the ''Skidmore Guards" etc, were well performed, and elicited deserved applause. Ky request of gentlemen in the audience, A. E. Weinawski performed Solo on the Vio- lin, sustaining his well earned reputation as a athorough master of the fiddle and the bow.

WASHINGTON. March 27.-The nomination of
Mr. Dana was called up at the executive session OF
the Senate to day by Mr.. Cameron, who opened
the debate with speech against his continuation,
denonncing with much bitterness MIR. Dana's critl-
cism of the action of the committee on foreign al.
fairs in relation to his case. Senators Boutwell,
and Dawes spoke in Mr.. Dana's behalf, and the
Senate then adjourned after an hours session.
Mr.. Cameron intends to move to 90 into executive e
session at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and
it is believed decision will then be reached The
best information obtainable is that to days debate
has perceptbly lessened the probability of confirm
alton Mr.. Dana's opponents declare positively
that he will be rejected, and they exhibit deter
minaton to push the matter to a vote tomorrow.

ocrats will go against confirmation.- SPecal to

PATNE'.y SHAM DEFEA TED.

The bill of Mr. Payne of Ohio in rela-
ton to the currency came to sudden end
in the House last Monday. This is the
bill which Mr.. Payne and his democratic
co-laborers have been carefully nursing
several weeks. for the purpose of uniting
the democrats on the currency question,
and deceiying the public with the pretence
that the bill was measure to promote
resumption of specie payments. On Mon
day Mr.. Payne moved to suspend the
rules and pass his bill. On that motion
the yeas and nays were called. The re-
suit was 81 in favor of passing the bill,
156 opposed. This decisive vote not only
buries Payne's shame beyond the possibil-
ity of resurrection, but it ends forever the
possibility of any agreement among the
democrats in the House upon any measure
to improve the currency.
Now if the democrats will consent to
act upon the question without regard to
party considerations, the republicans we
have no doubt will meet them halfway,
and thus measures for resumption may be
adopted. We hope the report of a move
ment to unite the friends of a sound cur
rency of both parties in support of such
measures is well founded.
