In the Book OF Genesis there are
two accounts of the creation of wo.
man. The first, which reads: "male
and female created He them" is the
ono which is regarded by the femi.
nine grade as inspired; while the
last is looked upon as an in:erpola-
ton by that tyrans, man. The
second, which asserts that woman
was. so to speak, q secondary for.
nation, a kind of afterthought, and
which inform US that she was
made out of very small piece OF
the man, is regarded the world over,
by all masculine SCHOLARS, as the
only authentic account of a vexed
problem.

noon at o'clock the cry of fire re-
sounded through the air bringing
our citizens to the street, when it
was found that smoke was issuing
from the rear OF the handsome
dwelling Of Paul Gross, .situated on
Gay street. On arrival it was found
that a Ave year old child Of Mr..
Gross had built fire in the rear Of
the wood shed and adjoining q high
board fence; the flames having
gained considerable heady. sufii.
ciept to char the side of the build
ing and burn clear through inch
boards. A few buckets of water
sufficed to extinguish the flames.

PROTECTION FROM FIRE.
What is the win Of Our Citizens t,

The almost weekly occurrence Of
destructive fires in Silver should
incite the people to prompt action
in the matter of providing proper
protection to property. The last
few weeks have witnessed losses that
in the aggregate amount to as much
or more than our proposed water
works will cost. Shall we sit with
folded hands and see the balance OF
the town burnt up, without making
an effort? Or shall we go ut once
to work to carry out our contempla-
ted plans for protection What say
our property owners 2
An Act was passed last winter
naming Trustees for the town and
authorizing q tax levy for the
purpose OF constructing water
works for use in cnse OF fires, and
in pursuance of this law tax OF one
dollar on each hundred dollars
valuation has been levied. We al.
ready have in the county treasury
over $2,275 to be applied to this
purpose, which, together with the
sum raised this year by taxation.
will nearly or quite pay the whole
expense Of the works contemplated.
Would it not be for the best in.
terests of all concerned to commence
the work ut once? The Trustees,
Messrs. McGinnis, Muncktpn and
Grier. might take our ready cash
and pay part down on the water
mains and FIRE plugs or hydrants
and obtain credit for the balance
until the tax is collected, and the
whole could III this way be COM
pleted few weeks hence. II deem.
ed best to do this. VIZ hope our peo-
pie will demand of the Trustees i'm
mediate actioo in this much-needed
improvement. Our voice is for the
utmost haste

Display or Legal Talent.

The case Of William Cole vs. c. C. Bean and Mary NJ. Bean, pending in the Su- preme Court, is one of great interest, and
 has created much feeling in Yavapai county from whence it comes. Appellants
 were represented by Hugh Farley, Esq, and Judge John Howard: respondent by Judges John A. Rush and J. T. AlHap and
 Hoyt and Ssfford. Disclaiming any thought of partiality, we simply write as we are informed, that the attorneys on both sides did their whole duty and came right up to the importance Of the suit, and that especially did MT. Farley open the argument by very clear statement Of the case, and was followed for the opposite side bv Mir. Hoyt, who made a very able argument on the law points. and he in turn was succeeded by Judge Rush, who together the law and evidence with masterly ability, showing careful and appreciation of the large interest In his care. We have heard such mention Of Judge Rush's pre- Of the case, that without regard to the merits of the suit, this mention is deemed proper. MT. Farley closed with marked judgment and ability. The de- cIsion is under advisement.

COwardIy Assault.

K. c. Brown, foreman in THE CITIZEN
 printing office, left that office about elev-
 en o'clock on Sunday night last, to go 10 his residence, and some twenty minutes
 afterwards was found In a senseless condi-
 ton and bleeding fIom & number of
 wounds on his head. From appearances
 # would seem that his sssailant or sssail- ants attacked him on Pennington street near Main, as Mir. Brown turned around the corner to go up the former street to his home. The whole matter at present is shrouded in mystery. Mir. Brown is one of the best of citizens, has few if any enc mics, is one of the most temperate of men and a popular man generally with all. He does not appear to be seriously injured but his head is badly cut and bruised. The blows which he received not only rendered him temporarily insensible but have con fused his remembrance of everything even for hours preceding the attack, so there seems no hope of his recalling any circum- stances which would furnish clue for detection of his assailaDts. ThIs is great pity, for if there is any one thing that would render Mir. Browns future life sat isfsctory 10 himself, and please his friends, it would be to find out the cowardly scouR- drel who did this thing.

EASTERN STATES.

WASHINGTON, January 4.-Senator Conkling presented petition from New York bankers and merchants in favor of amica5le adjustment of the Presi- dential question. He made a speech in presenting it, setting forth the prominence of the signers and import ance of their interests. It was signed by Democrats and Republicans, being honored, It is asserted, by nearly every branch of industry. Signers are some fifty in number. COnkling added that he himself was in full sympathy with the petitioners. This was a question beyond party feeling and above It; it was right for parties to contend but when contest had been settled at the ballot box, the only duty and lawful proceedings, is to find out the honest and true result, declare it, bow to il and sand by it. Congress and the na tion should do whatever stands based

THE village election at Prescott, on Jan uary ?, resulted in the election of E. J. Cook, Mayor; O. Allen and Dan Hatz. Councilmen: W. c. Bashford, Treasurer, and Frank Murray, Marshal. The ques- ton of disincorporation being left to the voters shows by a vote Of l6S to that the people are not willing 10 give mp their vil- lage organization notwithstanding the or dinances Of the Council have been very loosely carried out. The fact that they are in favor Of continuing the corporation, however should not be taken as evidence that this loose manner Of administering the laws is endorsed or that it will contin- ne to be tolerated.-Miner, Jan.
