NUiy Large crowd on the fourth Of july.
INST Mc--rs. LESLIE aud HARRIS have met
with marked and decided success this wear
Their school has been unusually larrc. and
their pupils have been earnest and appre-
ciatiVr. There Is spirit Of harmony
which prevails to a very large extern, among
the Arizona community. This spirit il
manifested i'll no way more clearly than in
the glad and earnest support they give
their iavorltc institution. What they have
done may be learned from an observation
OF the roll Of the school, which contains
upwards Of ninety names.
ON Thursday last those pupils who we're
examined III our presence did themselves
mnch honor. We may perhaps be incara.
BILE OF Judging NJ correctly rs our readers
might expect, yet We have II. highest au.
thority for saying that all pupils in the
examination slSssed decided proficiency.
Several young gentlemen in the afternoon
delivered original addresses. From our
place on the stage We heard them all, and
We found that they gave evidence of
Thought and culture. Jas. X. Monk, Esq,
delivered the Grafton Of the day, and the
exercises were closed by an address Of Nr.
Chappcll, on the part of the community,
addressed to the people, urging their con.
t'nued support Of the school, and TO Mc.,,rs
Harris and Leslie, thanking and prai.inr
them.

and eloquent production. Our position
was specially favorable to hear, and W,

The press dispatches q day or two
since had something to say of this
one OF John Sherman's pets. in which
the statement is made that she has
been telling "stories' again. This
appearance of the lubly Eliza upon
the stage was induced by the letter
OF reporter Of the New York Her.

obscurity in Mississippi, married to
respectable darkey named Pritch.
ard. Her story to the reporter is
interesting. She says she was brib.
ed with $500 to appear before the
returning board and swear to pack
of lies, dictated to her by the Re.
publican managers; that her being
brought III on sofa was a ridiculous
piece of claptrap, inasmuch as she
was quite able to walk, and had
walked up stairs, and Hon. John
Sherman ard the other twisting
statesmen" knew it, though the
Democrats were, for time mysti.
fled and imposed on.
4 stenographic reporter adds that
he heard Hon. John Sherman "laugh
hilariOusly7 afterwards at the way
Governor Bigler had taken in the
whole thing. This last addendum
throws an air of incredibility over
the revelation, supported as it is by
carefully drawn and binding affida'
Wits of Mistress Pritchard, formerly
Pinkston, and her husband. The
idea of John Sherman laughing hi
lariously at anything, and, what is
more, surviving the operation,
strikes us as passing strange. Eliza,
resembling her more eminent com.
peer, has her own little grievance.
She only drew $50 of her $500 in
cash, leaving the rest in the hands
of one of the returning board gang,
named Brewster, from whom she
has never been able to get it back.
