About Remarkably old Men.

Rev. Dr. Prime of the New York Observer, recently had occasion to re- fer to the age of Capt Lahrbush who was born in New York in 1766 and died there in April, 1877. The age of the Captain was doubted but Dr. Prime verified it, and further said Tn the same connection:
 Vespasian, who was born nine years after our Lord, and became a Roman Emperor, instituted a census, and found in one region between the river Po and the Apennlnes, fifty-four per sons 100 years old, If who were no, 20 who were 125, 40 of the age of l30, 40 also l3j, and 30 who were 40 years old! The objeclors to these figures will say that there were no registers to be relied on, and these statements may be secuted as fabulous. MT. ThOms, who aSsailed the record of the age of Capt. Lahrbush, held the theory that no one lives 10 be hundred years old. But we have so many instances of centennarlans among uS, whose record is unimpeachable that we may dismiss NIT, Thnms without hesitation. Dr. Van Oven has enumerated no less than seventeen persons who lived to the age of ljO years, and Mr. Bailey, in hIs work on longevity, gives three or four thousand instances of age reaching nearly to or above the century, and some of these mount up to the century and half Peter CZartan, Hungarian peasant, was born in 1j39 and died in l724, having lived lS5 years, and left the evidence behind him that this was no cxaggeraliOn. but a literal fact The life of Thomas Parr has been subjected 10 very careful criticism, and it Is not denied that he was, as his biOgrapher, John Taylor, styles him, the Olde, oldc, very olde man." he was born, ac- cording tO thls account, in 14S3 and dIed in London. 1885, being lj2 years of age. These examples are well enough authenticated to make it certain that q century of life is not a thing impOs siblc, even in these later days. And II is true that these exceptionally old people finally drop of, not from the wearing Out of the machine, but by some accident or exposure, which they might have avoided, and SD lived on q little longer.

From Silver City Herald of last Sat

From Silver City Herald of last Sat urday:
 Cruz Carton for entering the dwelling of James and John Tays and taking therefrom articles of value and seventy dollars greenbacks, was arrested, ar raigned and with a look of injured innocence plead sin cuba, notwith- standing conclusive evidence of his guilt clothed his neither parts and was painfully observable to every one in the room. X bundle of wearing ap- parel rolled in a blanket, a pistol. pocket book and a wad of greenbacks were produced and proved to have been found in possession of the pris oner, and subsequently, unidentified by the Tays brothers as their property and the same which the day before had been stolen from thei, house. They further testified that they had seen this Carton lurking in the neIghborhood of their dwelling and shortly after see ing him they discovered that they had been robbed Carlon offered no wit .nesses but volunteered a statement which was as lame as his foot that he nursed during the examination, but neither his statement or his injured pedal seemed to turn the current of conviction of his guilt. He Was booked and the only surprise is that his Honor did not give him the butt end of the law. He was kindly let off with thirty days imprisonment and fine of fifty dollars. In less than an hour after his sentence, Pablo MontafaS and an- other person arrived from Las Cruces, claimed and described the horse that Carion had traded a stolen mare for in Las Cruces and ridden here. The pris .soner is an unmitigated scoundrel anl jumped the Fl Paso, Mexico jail, and cut dirt for this place via Las Cru ces and robbed the first house on enter ing town. Forty and big one would have had a more salutary influence upon the morals of Carion than a brief imprisonment and nominal fine. '"
 This same Carton stole horse, sad de and bridle from NIT. M SamanIego of Tucson, last January, and he brought up Tn the Fl Paso jail in consequnce of advice from MT Samaniego. IL Is a misfortune that such a scOundrel should get off with so little punish ment, but judge Rilea may have done his duty as the case was presented t" hIm.

A sheep Drive of Fifteen Hundred
 Miles.

Owing to the scarcity of feed in this country, and the unfavOrable outlook, many of our sheep men have for some time been contemplating an important change of pasturage. On last week negotiations were entered into beween Chaffee < McKeeby, Captain Richard Robinson, John Thompson, l.. Cerf and c. w. Chrissman, through which il was agreed that on the 18th instant about 6,0O0 sheep should start up the Santa Clara Valley through the Sole dad Pass 10 the Colorado River, and that the remainder of 25, 900 should fol low in bands of from 5000 to 6,O0O The whole immense flock will be we'll on the way next week. The objective point for the whole flock is Kenny or Maverick county, Texas, on the Rio Grande river This drive is the longest ever contemplated, except that by Col Onel HOllister, when he came across the plains with 600 sheep We are in formed by MT. Chaffee that the sheep are all selected from the best stock in the county, no poor sheep among them. The parties expect to be one year in getting through. Jacob Hidever, of the Sespe, (who has a large number of sheep of his own which he will take along,) will be in charge of the band after leaving the Colorado river. The undertaking is a hazardous one, and the men who, for the sake of saying the lives of so many good sheep, take the risk, are entitled to great credit, and We hope may be rewarded with success. They are all energetic men, and will spare no pains to make the undertaking successful. The point to which they are destined IS 1,500 miles distant, and is reported to be one of the best grazing countries on the con tinent, and destined 10 be the great wool producing section of the world Ventura Signal, April 2lst.
 We are inclined 10 think these sheep will not be driven to Texas, for they will necessarily find so much good grass in Arizona, that they will not care to go further with no certainty of finding as good or as much.

\ DRY season in California gives high CT value to the Northern Coast, as well as to the tule lands and the districts that can be irrigated at little expense. Hundreds of settlers have moved from the southern half of the State to the molster climate of MendocinO and Humboldt counties-a few going so far north as Trinity. Arizona also feels a beneficial influence from the drought in California, IL will gam at least 100000 sheep if they should not be lost in the jOurney-driven from Los Ange- les, San Bernardno and adjacent coun- ties for lack of pasture The stock thus introduced will rapidly increase, so that the Territory will in few year have large production of wool, and the fine blood will doubtless cross into MeXlco and give 10 that country ne~ source of revcnue.-Alta, April 5.
