 NEARBT DryE.-Dzvid MauselI, clerk in the store of J. G. Campbell, went to the well in the rear of the store, on Tuesday eve ming, for glass of water, tumbler in hand, and was just putting his right hand on the pnnp-handle, when he suddeniy, and with out notices became Q lumber himself. The ground gave way under his feet and slid into the well, which is 25 feet in depth, and Dave, by some instinct which he cant ex- plain, threw his hands out at right angles from his body, by which meaEs he caught and saTed himself from accompanying tbe dirt in the direction of the center of gravity. Verify we stand upon places. Dave says he realizes that in the midst of life he came very near stepping into trap that would have been apt to shut off his wind.

 Quite large party of the old-timers, with a sprinkling Of more recent arrivals in the country, marched up in body last eve ming to call upon Capt. Hargraye and pay their respects to him and his newly married bride. Judge John Howard, himself what he termed an Arizona '49er, was spokesman for the invaders, and soon succeeded in ma king an amicable treaty, which was willing ly and gracefully acquiesced in by the party of occupation. It was observed that in tue party, there were just thirteen men who had each been in Yayapal County thir- teen years and over. Friendly greetings and expressions of good wishes were exchanged, several bottles of wine uncor.ed, half an hour spent in pleasant conversation and the party retired. Later in the night the seryi- ces of the Eighth Infantry Band were pro- cured, and accompanied by number of citizens, proceeded to the residence of the Captain and gave a serenade of welcome to the bride and groom. Those who attended are quite enthusiastic in commendation of the Captains choice of wife, and we have heard many such expressions as, 'Shell 60, "She's a good one, etc. Not so elegant in statement, perhaps, as the lady has been ac- clstomed to, in the more polite circles in which she has moved, but they signify just as much. It is the way of rye old timers, they mean well, and the lady has the sagaci- ty to comprehend the situation.
