 F.w. BLAKE. Agt., ". |. ( Co. Prescott Stage robbed by two road agents eight miles south of Date Creek, on route to Yuma. Three bars of bullion and sixty dollars taken Passenger robbed of his money and watch.
 F. c. GRAST, Agt. W. r. & Co.
 The passenger mentioned was Lieutenant F. G. Wood. who is known to have had with him sJS0 and a gola watch. The three bars of bullion were from tine Peek mine and mill. weighed about three hundred pounds and worth $5,l1G.2o. This is the first instance where silver bullion has been taken by robbers on this road, and, we be- Iieve, the second in tne Territory.
 Eugene Whitcomb, who drives from here to Date Creek, left tLcre after lhe news ot the robbery had come tp the station, and reached here last evening. lie brings word that Henry Adams, with three men, and Vim. Gil5on with two men, started from Date Creek OF good horses and well armed immediately on receipt of the news, intend ing to pursue and capture inc robbers Ii possible From the great weight Of the bullion it is thought t'iat 1t will hardly be possible for the rasCais to get away with II and elude their pursucis.
 We hope by t0-nights stage to hear that inc bullion aGi money have been IcaoTered and the robbers killed or captured. Should they be killed. .ho news wi-l be more vel, come than to hear Cf the arrest II Bill Gilson comes up with them and they resls', they will be ap. 0 fall.

On election day, in November next, Ros-
coe Conkling, as he sees Republicans throw
ing about one-third of the votes, can count
the remaining days of his Senatorial life.
Cameron, I'D Pennsy lvanla, can do the same.
InIthe East, just as certainly as in the South
the radical party is going to pieces. 1t has
not held its own in any election during this
year. IN what State, looking fairly at the
prospects, can it hope TO do so9 At the
October election 1t has given up all hope Of
holding theirown. In Oregon the change
gave ds aCsenatof. In Maine It was suffi
cIent to have done 50, and an opposition
Senator Is sure to be selected when the time
cones. In Vermont the change was not SO
great, but a good beginning was made.
The Republicans say that they haye taken
".the only. honest, ground" on finances.
Not one dollar dofo the hundreds of millions
they have stolen In the last twenty years but
has been stolen in the name of God and
morality" They have always been full Of
professions. Look at the present head Of
the, parry, selected by its reformers who
were to honest to train with the rest of tho
party q wHS hSs appointed more scoundrels
to Office than all his predecessors, and yyiol

THE WONDERS OF A WELL.
Harrisburg Telegram, 22d nit.

A man named Neff near Alexandria
Huntington county. this State. made re-
markablc discovery few days ago. Hav-
ing gone to the well to get drink, he was
surprised that no water was forthcoming.
and his curiosity having been excited he
descended the well, TO find the bottom out
and cool breeze blowing upward, en-
ough to cause r,,stling among the leaves
on "A tree on the outside. Mr.. Neff then
adjusted n lantern to a rope one hundred
feet long. and let it down the cavern. AS
the fire had not been eXtin.uished he con-
cluded that the air was pure. He then Sc
cured a rope three hundred feet Tong and
fastened to one end Of it basket contain
ing lantern, dog and cat ard slowly let
them down. Bottom was touched at two
hundred and ninety-one feet, and at the
end Of six hours the basket and contents |
were drawn up to the surface. The Ian
tern was still burning, and the animals
gave no evidence OF suffering except a
chilness. The next day the owner of the
WELL accompanied by friend. descended
to the bottom and discovered a cave ex-
tending for miles in different directions.
St;lagmiies and stalactites were numerous,
and mt intervals small streams of wafer
ran over stony beds. Many bats fiut.ered
through the cavern. and petrified sea shells
aboundcd. A vein Of nickel ore was also
discovered. samples of which have been a,
analyZ, Il am found to be superior to the !;
nickel Of either Lancaster. Pa, or Ger ,
many, the only places where the metal is +,
mined
