e Neif5zSr was the Man Created for the
 Hosnga. but inc womansfor the Man. '' aaA Rev. Thomas R. Curtis, on Sunday eve ming, preached from the above text, and
 although the author of the language, St Paul, was an old bachelor, and probably intended it as 8 rebuke to some of his mar ried desciples for allowing their wives to
 lead them by the nose, the speaker was
 charitable enough to interpret the passage
 to mean that the woman was created for
 mans good, which appeared to be in har-
 mony with the opinions of his audience
 The ladies appeared pleased with the posi-
 tion assigued them. and the gentlemen were quite ready to shuEils of the responsibility
 of their bad acts, and charge them to the
 women for not exercising better influence
 over them. We thought we discovered a
 wincing among some of the married ladies,
 however, when the speaker announced that
 women who married irreiigious men and
 failed to convert them to the faith, fell
 short of their mission on Earth. Quite a
 number, we thought, felt as if the shot hit
 themselves, and no doubt resolved to inn
 mediately institute miniature revival in
 their own households.
 Taken as a whole, it was an entertaining
 discourse, elegantly delivered, quite satis-
 factory to both sexes, and especially com
 piimentary to the ladies. He said in effect that it was not essential for woman to know
 much of religious dogmas. as they are natu- rally attracted 10 God, to truth and the right, as the dew is prone to rise towards the sun. Yet, if she fall, she plunges as much deeper into hell as she is by nature above man in all that is pure and good on Earth.
 Dr. Al. Thibodo, one of our most sue cessful physicians, has been on trip to the southern portion of the Territory during the past seventeen days, looking after his in terests in the coal mines, near Camp Grant The Doctor found coal of fair character cropping out, and put four men to work sinking shafts, for the purpose of testing the size of the veins a few feet beneath the surface. In short time prospecting will de- monstrate whether these coal veins arc worth millions or are valueless. The Doc tor returned riG Casa Grande, near Black Water on the Gila, where he collected a number of relics and brought with him to Prescott, among which, he has piece of pine in perfect state of preservation after a rest of many centuries in this old adobe. built by race unknown to the present gen. eration, save that they worshipped either the Sun, God, or something of equal mys- tery. and used stone axes, and arrows ma le of flint. When Casa Grande was first dis covered by Coronado's army, about the year 1537, it, at that time, was thought to be many hundred years old, although it was seven stories high, and new IS reduced to height of 60 feet.
 THE FAR.-By reference to an advertise ment to- day, it will be seen that the fair sex will hold two days fair at the City Hall, commencing on Thursday and end ing Friday evening.
 The Ladies' Union Association under which the fair is to be held is working in the interest of the two Methodist Churches, viz, that of the Rev. D. B. Wright, and that of Rev. T. R. Curtis, and although com few of the ladies engaged in it be- long to the church, they, like all good people, feel an interest in every conservator of morals, and are laboring faithfully to sustain the churches, besides it is expected that many, after hearing Rev. Mir. Curtis discourse, on Sunday evening, will be in- clined to join the church and enter upon their sublime mission in real earnest In the meantime if anything occnrs at the fair that has a smack of worldliness or frivolity in it, unbecoming the staid character of church member, it will be remembered that they have not yet joined, and arc still at liberty to indulge in such innocent amuse- nents as the church forbids.
 PROSPECTING MILL.-Messrs. Simons S Co. of Santa Rosa, Cal, have three-stamp mill, now at Ehrenberg, and are looking about for good location MT. John $. Simons, who is now here, brings ctter of recommendation from Dr. O. 5. Allen, of Santa Rosa, who says he is a relia- ,le gentleman, and worthy of confidence, ltc. NIT. s. and partner, with an expert miner whom they brought with them, have zone to-day to look at the Grooms Creek md Hassayampa country, and will, in day ,r two, start for Humbug District, rid the Kit Carson, Silver Flake, etc,
 Their mill is rigged either for gold or sil- ! Ter, and has capacity for working three ons per day.
 What they want to find IS a district of free ,old and silver bearing rock, as they have l 10 roaster.
 ANOTHER DIsTRIcT.-Two Germans ar ived in Florence on the 9th, from pros ,ecting tour through Superstition Mountain, 1 where they found an extensive silver ledge, he ore from which assays over three thou and dollars to the ton. Old Superstition ] $ in Maricopa County, consequently the |! listrict which will be formed at the new l ind will add another district to the list in l het county. The Germans who made the | discovery, found, at the base of the noun | ain, on their way in, the remains of white | nan, who evidently had been killed by h. | lians. His body was cut up and mutilated ] O such degree that a description or recog- lition was out of the question. Many are preparing to visit the new silver fields.
