MT. Gus. Chenowth arrived in town, yes terday from Salt River, with his team, which hs loaded to day, with lumber. He brought a load of barley to Date Creek for the Miller Brothers, and from that pllce came on to Prescott empty. Mir. Chenowih. who is a reliable gentleman, informs us that when he left Ph9nix, there were thirteen cases of small pox in that settlement, and it was confined to two or three families
 He also informs Us that the servant who was with the late J. W. Owens at the time of his death, and who was suspected of hay ing used foul play with the deceased, had been watched, and, that the officers of the law had been instructed to follow the man in case he left Phoenix. and if any proof, in the way of money or papers was found upon his person, to arrest and bring him back. That at the time he left Phoenix, the Sheriff had returned with the man in charge, and the supposition was that sufficient proof had been found against him to warrant the ar rest. If the man had hand in getting rid of MT. Owen, who was an excellent gentle man, we hope he may receive the punish ment his crime merits.

WOULDN'T STAY PUT.-The good resolu- tions entered into by the mercantile com munity of Prescott to close their stores on Sunday has partially fallen through, al- though the principal houses still stand by their agreement and close their doors on Sunday. Cheap John, who appears to have no appreciation of the sanctity of an obliga- .ion whatever, violated the agreement from inc first; in fact, paid no more attention to it than if he had not signed it at all, and boastel of the trade he had secured while his more conscientious competitors were living up to their agreement. One after another has since been obliged to open or give up large portion of their trade, until a majority of the smaller establishments are now open on Sunday, as before.

VILLAGE MARsHAL.-The election of Vii. lage Marshal will take place early in mex, month, and as the place is one of consider able responsibility, it becomes matter oi interest to property-holders to see that a good man for the position is selected Not only should he be man of good business qualifications, resolute and determined, to do right, but he should be man of self re- spect, and man who can command the re- spect of others; who will do his duty fear lesslv, without reference to who are his friends or foes, one. in short, who would rather quarrel with the whole world, than with his own conscience.
 We do not say that it is possible to get such man for the position, or that we have not already had such, but merely mention the peculiar traits that we consider essential in Marshal, and leave the voter to make selection as nearly sproximating the picture as he can.

Jack McAllister brought in last Saturday on his blackboard, five passengers, and the same vehicle, going out to-day, bore away four. This enterprise which many predict ed would not pay, has thus far more than exceeded the proprielor's most sanguine ex- pectations.
