An exploring party from CamP
Verde recently visited the Lower
VerJe and found several neatly
constructed rooms hewn out of the
sandstone bluffs of that region.
Some of them were well plastered,
and in each of the large rooms was
q cistern for water and commo.
dious granary. In several OF the
rooms inches, or holes, had been
cut in the walls and covered over
aud rendered air-tight by hard
cement. Upon being broken open,
ears of corp, pumpkins, and the
seeds of grain unknown to any or
the party. were discovered in the
cells. These had been there so
long that upon being touched they
crumbled to dust. This section of
the country forms an interesting
field for the relic hunter.-Arisond

There is no happier man in Los
Angeles to-day than our clever
and athletic friend Thomas
Strohm, late instructor of the
Turnverein Germania. AS will be
perceived, by announcement in
the usual column, his wife yester-
day presented him with bounc-
ing young gymnast. We despair
of being able to picture the feats
that young Strohm will yet per-
form on the horizontal bar and on
the dumbbells. We are glad to
learn that mother and son are
both "doing as we'll as could be ex-
pected." May the infant, in the
Language of tho illustrious Rip
Van Wrinkle, "iive long und bros.
