Court opened upon the ,th instant, Judge Tweed presiding, with tifty-two eases on the docket.

 The school building was eXtemporized as Court House. and several times before the opening of the court. the venerable Judge could have been seen in front of the en- trance hammcrilg on the triangle, to remind the boys that it was time to cash their chips and come to "coort" Many sOrrowtul tales were told. such as having sprained ankles, being sick, etc. in order to get excused from serving on the jury One robust individual asserted that he was afflicted with heart-dis- ease and could not stand the confinement in the iury-room.

even with the Grand Jury some one of tho immaculate twelve had to prance of with his Honor's blankets.
 The roadway through the Juniper noun tains is filled with loose rocks, which makes it very annoying to travellers. The county authorities would confer benefit on the travelling public if they would employ some one to put it in repair.
 Game of all kinds, such as deer, antelope, etc. is very plentiful on the plains between Cross Mountain and the Juniper Range.
 The farmers in Williamson Valley are busily engaged in planting corn. A much larger quantity will be put in this season than has ever before been planted in that section. All through Walnut Valley evil dence of increased activity is visible, and the farmers expect to reap large harvest this year. IL will not be long now until all these fertile mountain valleys will be teem- ing with large population. Here are large tracts of land only waiting for the husband man 10 tickle them with the blow vixen they will rcward him with an abundant harvest.
 Parties going to Mineral Park or vicinity will do well to provide themselves with grain for their animals, sufficient for one night, before they get to the Willows. as the crops dA AAaA SlAllNn Ntlt AiLANNt saai tAAAAN lAltNAN last year, and as a consequence no grain can be obtained until they get 10 the station at the mouth ef the canyon, four miles east of the Park

The parties who started to dig a we'll at the Tanks sunk it about twenty five feet, when they found the rock SO hard that they abandoned the place in disgust, after having placed g broken whisky bottle in the bottom of the well, evidently as al sign that the thirsty traveller need not look for anything to drink in that locality.

DULL TIMES.

We often hear our people in Prescott talk of dull times, when the truth IS they don know what dull times arc. Our merchants are daily in receipt of new goods, and they are hardly landed before they are being sold. Our i5.OOO inhabitants of Yavapai county are all alive and we'll The crops never looked more prosperous. The welcome rain and silvery snow will cause all the grain anu vegetables planted to spring up with new life. Our mining industries are also coming rapidly 10 the front, and soon the metallic ring of bullion bars will be heard ail OCT the land.
 The cry of hard times, however, comes te us from abroad. California is disconsolate over the failure of her crops; the cattle and sheep are dying by thousands, and those who can get to our hoSpitable valleys and noun tains are coming. We have been shown a letter from a gentleman who lately visited Salt Lake City, which reads as follows ;--- Salt Lake City, commercially, seems to be hide bound and cursed, for in spite oi the good times at the mines, Salt Lake City IS going backward and downward. Real estate is no security now for money, and more dilapiiated God-forsaken looking place you never saw, and it's inhabitants feel and look the dismal picture in business everywhere presented to the eye"
 Comment k unnecessary. Let us be sat isfied with what we have, go on developing our many resources. and show to the world that Arizona is becoming the great Bonanza, and taking the lead of her sister Territories in the march of progress.
