Joe Crane is making some very elegant I improvements, in his Diana Saloon, which will make it one of the most convenient and | pleasant places of resort in Prescott. BULLION SHrPxESTs.--During the last thirty days from April 18th. to May 18th, ther, has been shipped from Prescott to San Fran cisco, one hundred thousand dollars in Gold and silver bullion. The amount will increase very materially so soon as other mills are started up, which are now under course of construction. The yield of bullion for the whole Territory during the last thirty days must aggregate about $350,000. This Is considered fair when taken into consideration that but few quartz mills are in operation as yet.
 The rafic last evening for Capt Smith g piano was undecided, three throws being | tie on 43, and neither of the parties owning the chances present. viz, J. J. Gosper, Ter ritorial Secretary, William Wilkerson, Coun' ty Recorder, and Dan Hatz, Village Coun- cilman. So that a representative. either of the Commonwealth, Baileywick or the Mu- nicipality, seems to be likely to get away with the instrument. Wilkerson's luck at rallies and Fairs is so notorious that if we were one of his competitors we should pro pose to sell out to him. Since the above was written, they have done that very thing.
 The lecture aad Shakesperian recitation tomorrow evening a. the City Hall, IS the expressing topic to-day, and will be until the entertainment is over and has been thor oughly discussed and criticised. The prob lem ot .sthe other life" is one in which every human being is interested, and now that it comes up in different shape from that in which # is usually presented from the pull pit. Everyone will be interested in know ing what may be said in support of it by MT. Fitch, man Of superior talent, who bases his argument not upon blind faith in the text "be not wise beyond what is written" but upon physical evidences as they present themselves to his senses, his reason, and his judgment, not upon the assumption that written revelations are the result of inspiration, but upon the revelations of science susceptible of proof to the human understanding. In making these proofs it will not be maintained that the Scriptu res are not true, but that secular and scientific evidences tend rather to support than to refute them.
 Mr. Morgan, whose oratorical powers are of the highest order, has consented to enter tain the audience by reciting several select passages from Shakespeare, which cannot fail to be attractive and highly interesting.
 The LibraryAssociation has been very for tunate in procuring the gratuitous servires of these talented gentlemen for the occasion. The public will owe Messrs. Fitch and Nor. gan debt of gratitude for affording so excellent an entertainment as this promises to be.

they could get to the door, the bale be-
gan to blaze and to communicate

were eighty bales in the building. and it
was not ten minutes before everything

Six Substantial Reasons
Why you should Insure in the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance COMPANY,
PHILADELPHIA, PA.

1st. Because it is one of the Oldest Com
panies in the country, and past the day OF e1
I'd. Because it is a purely Mutual Company
Every 2. Icy Holder is a membtr OF the Com
pany, entitled to all its advantages and pTl-
vileges, having a right to vote at all elections
for trustees. and thus has an influence In its
management.
Sd. Because it has as large a percentage Of
assets To liabilities as any Life insurance
Company in the country.
4th. Because. by economical management,
below the average of / ife Companies. (oee
Official Insurance RepOrts.)
9Th. Because it has declared more dlyl-
dendS in number, and OF a larger average
percentage, than any other Company Ia the
United states.
For example: Policy No. Is, foT 5000, has
been paid TO the widow of a Philadelphia
Merchant upon which twenty-three dlvl-
dendS had been declared, averaging fifty
seven per cent. Had these dividends been
used to purchase additions to this Policy,
SIS, As more would have been realized, making
the Policy worth S1,Q46.
9th. Because it is LIBERAL in its management
prompt Ia it settlements safe beyond a con
tiugency, and it rates are as low asany first
class Company in the country.
Principal EATURES.-oma expenses
absolute security, large return premiums,
prompt payment of losses, and liberal 10 the

Played Them Like a Flute.

A gentleman came TO Catawba Sta
ton in this county last week and
claimed to be a special agent of the
English government to buy horses to
be used in the African war and cir
culated the news through the COM
munity that he would buy every horse
that was fifteen hands high irrespec-
tive Of its condition or quality other
wise, and for said horse he would pay
the sum Of 800. Monday morning
was the time for all to bring in their
stock and receive the stated amount.
At an early hour all the tall horses in
the neighbOrhood were trotted into
town, but the owners found on arri-
wing that the gentleman with a big
roll of government money had dis
appeared-he having erept out the
window of his boarding house that
morning before day aud left for parts
unknown. If any of our readers have
an old. rawboned horse that is Fifteen
hands" high and wish to get 800 for
it, just watch out for this ''gentleman;'
he VIII be recognized as wearing a
white hat and overcoat ditto. We

hiter such a miserable. wretched and
exposed villainy Of supervisors and re-
turning boards of State elections, we
would naturally conclude that the

Of holding power by fraud and force
they adopt the same shameful means
10 thwart the will Of the people and

Tncy saw the Handwriting on the wall,

Iative branches Of the Government and
the consequent check upon the Execu-
tive, ana their only hope was to find

Our readers are nearly all aware of
sun commenced IN 1876 in this Cir
exit Court OF John i. Stevens versus
Commonwealth of Kentucky to recov-
or damage for loss on their Lock and
Dam on Rough creek, which made
said stream navigable 70 Hartford.
The case was transferred 10 the Davies
Circuit Court and trial finally had
aud judgement rendered in favor of
plaintiffs for the sum of four or five
thousand dollars. Maj. Joe Haycraft
represented the Commonwealth inter
est. and no doubt did his duty faith
fully; but on the final trial of the
cause at Owensboro he was allowed a
fec of fosT thousand dollars, Whew
what pile.' The whole thing has been
a series of blunders. 1t was an eyre
grious mistake in the Legislature to
lease the Green and Barren rivers nav
iga'ion to a company for thirty years
without carefully guarding every inter-
est of the people Of the State. 1t was
an unwise act authorizing the suit of
Stevens VS.. Commonwealth without
fixing limit to the fee of the attorney
defending. The allowance 10 Mai. Hay
craft was made by Judge Stuart upon
the statement Of attorneys as to what
his services were worth. We cannot,
for the life of US, see upon what basis
these attorneys estimated his services
10 he worth $4,000.
There were several lawyers on the
Othe: side, some, If not all of whom
are peers of Maj Ilaycraft, and their
caai,;nr,l fee, We understand, was
ahout si 500. Now. how was it pos
sibie Tar " j. Haycraft's services TO
be worth - much more? Was it be-
cause b. lad rich clientl He was
CammonweaIth's Attorney at the same
time. and aitogdcd TO those duties,
