WELLS, FARGO & Co.,, have stand ing reward of $500 for arrest and con- viction of robbers of stages which car ries their express. The United States ought 10 have large one, especially in times like the present in Arizona. The people. either by the Territory or Coun- ties, ought to keep a standing reward for the punishment of such pirates. Mail, express and passenger vehicles are of great interest to all the people. Stage robbers ought to be punished with death, in the opinion of many very good people, for they begin every robbery by threats of murder if resist ance IS offered to them. When found and their identity certain, they ought to he shot with as much promptness and as little mercy as would be shown to savage beasts.

Florence is third in paying messages and very few "dead head ones. Pres colt second in paying and first in free ones, and Tucson is considerable above Prescott in paying messages and only about one-third as many free ones. The cash receipts are shown for the pre-. viOus years, and they have increased each succeeding year, indicating the general progress of business which is still going on. Congress ought, as a business proposition, to give aid enough to put the lines in good order. It is not likely it would ever be called upon to do so another time for two reasons because of the increase of cash re. ceipts or the fact that before another general repair would become neces. sary, the Western Union or some other company in connection with railways would likely own the lines.
 The Signal Service itself will con tinue to be enlarged. Its great value to commerce; to the saving of life and property on land asd sea to agricul- ture, &c., is acknowledged and no longer doubted by even ordinarily in telligent observers of scientific prog ress. With all the ridicule that has been heaped upon "Old Probabil- ities," as the Service and the Chief Officer (Gen. Myer) are facetiously called, the practical results of this branch of our public service has exceed ed the expectations of its promoters. When reports are obtained from all sections of the earth, as they will be ere many years, the fOrecasting of storms or violent climatic disturbances of any kind, will be reduced to almost perfection. Even with the compara- lively few stations from which reports are daily received at the Washington office, the percentage of correct fore castings or predictions reached the re- markable high average of 86.16 for the year ending June 30, 1877. It is req sonably claimed that when reports are obtained from certain points through out the earth on sea and land, every violent storm will be foretold long enough in advance to enable both landsman and seaman to ward of much, and in most instances all dam age.

THE Prescott Enterprise explains that its proprietor borrowed $500 of James Daley with which to purchase a job printing office. The fact that it makes the explanation seems to give il the semblance of public importance. Coupled with this exploration is no de
 nial that this joh office is shipped in the name of John c. Campbell, candidate for Congress, nor any statement that this same Mir. Daly is in the employ of this same John c. Campbell. A clear statement of the case would seem to been something like this. John C.
 Campbel's clerk loaned the proprietor of the Enterprise money to buy a job printing office; the office is bought and shipped to Prescott in the name of Congressional Candidate Campbell; i; the office is actually intended for the Enterprise office; and Mir Campbell is the Enterprise candidate for Con- gress. Is it possible that the public, or any portion thereof, can draw-from these facts-conclusiOns unfavorable to the proprietor of the Enterprise? The Enterprise has explained, and why not MT.

LATE reports from the developments going on in Tombstone District, in the San Pedro valley, are way up" and no mistake.

THE very best and most respectable citizens of every town and neighbor- hood ought to organize for the purpose of detecting, capturing and punishing the highwaymen who are SO active robbing mails and passengers, and stealing generally. Officers work much better when properly backed up by their constituents, and when it is once understood that the best forces of the people are organized and bent upon catching and punishing robbers, the latter will be somewhat deterred in their outrages. Highwaymen are now worse public enemies in this part of Arizona than the Apaches ever were, and if found they should be killed without ceremony or mercy.

Pleasing Newspaper Readers.

Those newspapers which are too proud or too obstinate to retraet any unjust or improper language which they have admitted to their columns should profit by the example of an exchange, which gives notice as fol- lows:" If any subscriber finds line in his paper that he does not like and cannot agree with, if he will bring his paper to the office and point out the offending line, the editor will take his scissors and cut it out for him.

Resuscitating the Drowned.

For anumber of years past the Royal Humane Society of London has been experimenting as to the length of time a person can remain under water, and the best method of restoring the partially drowned. They have finally determined tbat four minutes is the greatest period of time person can be completely submerged and live. The results of observation lead to the belief that even after person has been under water eight minutes he can be restor- ed to consciousness.

FARM TOPICS.

ICE-HoUsEs FOR THE FARM.-No
farm is properly fitted out without an
ice-house. Ice has become necessity
as well as luxury in the hot months.
In cases of sickness it is often of more
Importance than all the DOCTORS drugs.
Milk, in warm weather, is converted in
to luxury by the aid of lump of ice.
A great deal of water, in summer, re-
quires the assistance of ice to make it
tit for pleasant and refreshing bever-
age. For preserving butter, fresh meat,
vegetables, and many articles of diet, in
the most wholesome and palatable con-
dition, ice is prime necessity.
The cost of an ice-house which will
answer for all purposes of farm, is

A Sudden Death.

There is something terrible in the thought
of having our friends stricken down at our
side, without parting word of endearment
or cOnsolation-one moment at our side in the
flush of vigorous life, cheering our hearts
with their loving sympathy; the next at our
feet, pale with death, deaf to our cries and
needless of our tears. Every excessively fat
person is in instant danger of such death.
Seven-tenths of the victims of obesity die OF
heart disease or apOplexy. Alan's .Anti-Fat,
the only remedy for obesity, reduces the
weight BY regulating the digestion and assim-
ilation of the food. 1t is perfectly harmless,
and its use will insure, in every instance, re-
duction of weight from two to five pounds a
week

Sitting.Bull.

A Canada paper, the Ottawa Citizen,
gives an interesting account of the pres
ent position of Sitting Bull and his fol-
lowers. A British officer, Major Walsh,
is at present in charge of post in the
immediate vicinity of Sitting-Bull's en-
campment, near Wood Mountain, and
is on the most friendly terms with the
"big Indian" chief. The Major ap-
pears to have decided influence over
the red men, and they all look up to
him as great and noble chief of their
White Mother. He has a contingent of
20 picked men. as brave and true as
steel. The Sioux camp at this point
numbers about 500 lodges, representing
nearly 1,000 souls, and is divided up at
present into small hunting parties. The
old braves are most peaceably inclined,
and there would be no fear of a breach
of the friendly relations existing were it
not for q number of hOt-headed young
bucks who make depredatory incursions
across the borders, and sometimes 90
so far, when a favorable opportunity
presents itself, to steal horses in Can
adian territory, and escape to the United
States. The old braves deprecate this,
and in every way endeavor to prevent
it. In fact, they invariably make good
the value of the horses stolen. To show
how strongly they feel on this point, In
spector Allan says that the daV before
he left party of Sioux were out hunt
ing when they came across a young
buck with a number of horses in his
possession, evidently making his way
to the Uuited States. The father-in-law
of the young man was in the party, and
wanted to know where he got the
horses. He replied that he got them as
a present from white trader. The ia
ther-in-law quietly limited that he
handled the truth carelessly, whereupon
the young buck grew impertinent, The
father-in-law considered this sufficient
justification for him to dispatch the
young man to the happy hunting
ground, and without further parley
dashed his brains out with war club.
