The connexions which have been prevalent

PLY seem to be not yet wholly quieted. have
led to complaints of citizens of the United
States of injuries by persons in authority. 1t
Is hoped, however, that these will ultimately
be adjusted to the satisfaction of both the
Governments. The frontier of the United
States in that quarter has not been exempt
from acts of violence, either by citizens of
one republic or those of the other. The fire.
quency of these acts I suppose to be in
creased, and their adjustment made more
difficult, by the considerable changes in the
course of the lower part of the Rio Grande

between the two countries. These changes
have placed on either side Of that river por-

A STRANGE WEDDING FEE.

A clergyman who was formerly loca-
ted in this city but is now in New York,
married, a little overa year ago, a coup
lie who at once started for Europe, and
nave recently returned. The bridegroom
was a gentleman of wealth, and before
he presented himself before the bridal
alter he placed a 500 greenback in his
vest pocket to give the parson for the
marriage fee, and did pay it to him, as
he supposed. While crossing the ocean
he discovered, greatly to his astonish-
ment, the bill in the pocket where he
placed it, and could account for its pres
ence there only on the theory that he
must have had another bill OF a different
denomination which he had donated to
the clergyman by mistake.
On getting back to this country he de-
termined to solve the mystery, and wait
ed upon the reverend gentleman, who
did not recognize him, and inquired if
on a certain date he did not marry a GER
tain couple. The clergyman remember
ed the occasion perfectly. '.Iknow 1 am
about to ask an impairment question:"
said the visitor, ''but | should like to be
informed what fee you received for per-
forming the ceremony? The clergy
man was not prepared to make any
disclosure, naturally being astonished
that the interviewer should PROFOUND
such a question, but upon an explanation
being made that the gentleman himself,
whom he then recognized, was the one
he had married, he said that he would,
of course, CRAFTY him, since he was SO
anxious to know. Il received he then
went on to say, "avery small quantity OF
fine cut chewing tobacco, folded in q
very small piece of paper" That was
enough; the only thing remained to be
done was to apologize, laugh heartily
shake hands, and make the 800 deposit
rood. Paris True Ken.

THE HAPPY VALLEY.

1t lies, like a sparkling dew-dtop
In the heart of an opening rose;
Resting beneath the sunbeams,
Rejecting the mor2ing CLOVIS.
Like Il modest and gentle daisy,
Down by the brooks soft How;
Upheeded alike by the stranger,
Whether u friend or q Toe.
Hidden by shady forests,
Among the lofty hills;
There YOU may hear, if you listen,
The birds, with their warbling rills,
In carols, jull sweetly blended,
From the boughs, in early morn,
Hymning their praise to Heaven,
In joy that u day is born.
Hank, TO the cocks shrin growing.
In Il tone like n bugle-call;
He is giving a warning to sleepers
Around him., one and all,
The sheep their bells are tinklinS,
As III clover they set their feet,
Their eyes in the sun are twinkling,
Ashley CROP the heritage sweet.
The milkmaid, happy and busy,
With her cheeks SO rosy and round,
Brings ont her pals, all shining.
Like suns on the grassy ground.
Her three-cornered stool she places
Beside the mild eyed cow.
And soon the rich streams are frOthing
In the trimming pail below.
The farm-boy's merry whistle
Is heard in the woods, close by,
As he wings his Ak, with ylgor,
And piles his fagots high.
The smoke is skyward stirring
From the farmhouse chimney top,
Up, and still up, it is whirring,
AS if it could never stop.
Sweet childish voices are mingling
Around the cottage door;
The little ones run out, in gladness,
To welcome the day once more.
All nature with light is adOrinS,
The air with rapture THRILLS,
On the joyous summer morning,
In the valley among the hills.

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand Or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
thar the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

line, first paragraph of his finding, but consider the whole question to be, are they or are they not lawful charges against the County of Yuma, and wouldslike to have this question settled authorita- lively.
 Seventh - With reference to Wm. P. Miller's finding in the last paragraph, we consider it has no bearing on the question and is a simple impertinence towards the Grand Jury, inasmuch as we have not been able to find that he examined one witness on the subject, without it be on the side of the accused.
 Eighth-We think the asser- tion of Wm. P. Miller, that the County was then without an at torney, at least ansopen question, (see accompanying afidavit.) and we still think that the question of these bills and the action of the Board thereon, needs inves- tigation, and will be sorry to find that it be not done without ad- ding more cost to the County, al- ready heavily taxed and deeply in debt.

Alexander did then and there say: "Mr. Miller, on leav- ing. desired me to do his work, and authorized me to draw the salary and fees of the office," or words to that effect, and MT.

The Hog Grep.

From published reports we glean the following: Up to December 15, 1875, from November 1, the number of hogs packed in Chica- go was 676, 153. against 858,452 in corresponding time last year. In Cintinnati, 256,771, about the same as last year. St. Louis 150,- 900. Louisville, 145,00O. Indian apOlis, I57,710.
 The secretary of the Chicago Packers Association reports "hogs generally as better duality and weight that last year, which in part cOmpensateS for the great decrease in number as compared with that year. The number of hogs slaughtered at six different points in the West during the time above referred to was only l,410,000, against 1,970,000 the pre- vious year, and 2,035,0 the year before. The number of stock hogs is also reported to be much smaller than before, so that the facts as they now appear, leav- ing out the incalculable results of bull and bear manipulationS, make it more probable that prices will be little if any lower for some time.

II against the county of Yuma for the sum of $67 40, many items of which were for summoning wit nesSes, where it did not appear that the Justice acting in the case, had issued any subpenas. Both these bills being allowed and paid by the Board of Super visors at it's July session, 1875, notwithstanding the protest of a tax payer, who then tried to stop the payment thereof by applica. tion to c. H. Brinley, Court Com : missioner, but failed, (not being 8 lawyer on technical grounds.)
 Second-The information given by our fellow Juror was to the ef- feet that the second, third and fourth items in H. N. Alexander's bill were not lawful charges against the county, and that the second item had been actually paid by J. w. Dorrnigton, as by law provided.
 Third-We not being lawyers considered the question should be referred to the proper law officer of the county, and we did not intend to bring any charge against the Board of Supervisors generally, or es noW constituted, but we did wish to have the &C., tion of the Board tt its July ses- sion, 1875, and particularly in re- ference 10 these bills, investigated.
 Fourth-And we are disappoint- ed to find that our recOmmenda- tion has had no effect, and that Wm. P. Miller, in his so- called in- vestigation, has entirely avoided the real question, and we cannot think that he did so through ig- norance, for he was the legal ad- wiser of the Grand Jury, whilst the question was under discussion and that the bills referred to and the action of the Board of Super visors thereon, and the opposition of a taxpayer thereto have be. come matters of public notoriety.
 Fifth-And we protest against the report of Wm. P. Miller inas- much as it makes this question concerning the whole Board, when we all know that Col. Barney was at the time mentioned, absent from the Territory and believe that he has always, as a member of the Board, sternously opposed the allowance of unlawful claims.
 Sixth-And we consider the first paragraph of Wm. P. Miller's report as d moderate rehearsal of H. N. Alexander's disrespectful harangue, delivered in Court af- ter the reading of our report and for which the Court. exercising its usual leniency. forbore to pun lsh him, and we do not know what Wm. P. Miller means by ~Sudt legal charges, in the fifth

It was thought at first that it would not live, but on Monday last it was alive and we'll, and kicked the beam with it's clothes on at less than a pound. The child is perfect in all it's attri- butes. and its head is covered with beautiful black hair. It's wrists are not as large in circum- ference as the smallest finger on the hand of it's nurse, and its legs are no longer round than the in- deX finger.
