 The unrnly telegraph line, every now and again, gets its lightning lander up, and refuses to respond to the demands made upon it by Chief Operator Hunter and his assistant. MT. Douchechett To-day is an in- stance of that kind. The wire is out of sorts somewhere near Stanwix, but will probably be all 70. K.- tomorrow.
 John Uhlrick, discharged soldier from Camp Mohave, supposed to have had con- siderable money. was found dead on the road between Date Creek and Signal City, few days since, by Mir. Gilson, partner in the firm of Selkirk S Co. of this town. It is thought the man was murdered by Mexi- cans. Capt. Hintock, en route from Los Angeles to Prescott, sent a party from Date Creek to bury the corpse.
 READY PAy.-A revolution in Prescott is about to take place. MT. E. H. Weaver, formerly proprietor in the ARIZONA MI- NER. now a close, well-behaved merchant, proposes to sell hit stock of goods for ready pay, or produce of the country, excepting such products as shot-guns, rifles and pis- tols, of which he has had more offered of late than he has any use for. Hymn Books, Bibles and Patent Office Reports will be received at the highest market price.
 Mir. Fritzbrill of wickenburg, and Chas Culling of Cuttings Station, complain at the non-receipt of the MINER, and Enterprise. The MINER is mailed regularly at the Pres- cott F. O., and we believe leaves that office, therefore the fault lies in another direction. We want Postal Agent in this Territory who will inquire into great many irregu- larities that have been and are still being practIced. There are persors in the world who control postoffices that should be cleaned out at the muzzle of cannon or at the end of rope.
 BULLIoN.-The Peck blackboard arrived last evening, bringing three bars of bullion. worth $3,686.11. The shipments from this minc are now quite regular, and average about 5000 per day. Better ore is being found in the mine, the ore more carefully and judiciousiy handled and worked, and the result is a steady flow of bullion from that bonanza, the merits of which have never, as yet, been fairly estimated. If the be as secondary consideration to it.
 DAMAeEs.-An official of Yuma County writes that James Rielly has commenced suit against the Sentinel Publishing Con- pauy for the modest sum of 36,000. James evidently believes in going the ''whole hog or none" Mir. Rielley is about to start an opposition paper at Yuma, and we presume he will be somewhat circumspect and cau- tious what language he uses in its govern ment We imagine that the Sentinel will take the stand of Q non-committalist and throw but little dirt; but that which the new organ grinds out and throws will be something worse than mud.
 Co. A., 9th Infantry, Capt. Geo. NJ. Bray ton, arrived from Camp Verde yesterday, and has taken station at Fort Whipple. Lieut.. J. McE. Hyde, came up with the company, and will, until further orders be stationed at Whipple. The Lieut., has been stationed at Camp Verde for the last three years, and has performed the duties of A. A. O. M., and X. C. S., at that post during that time, and in the discharge of those duties has won the esteem and good will of all with whom he has had to do. He possesses all those good qualities which go towards constituting a good soldier and an honor able gentleman.
 RAIN.-For several days the clouds have been gathering in from every direction, and early this morning had succeeded in making such connections as forced them to pour out their contents, which luckily happened to be supply of cooling and refreshing water. Rain at this juncture or critical condition of our growingcr crops was certainly benificient gift It is true that corn and other farm products have suffered somewhat from the continued drought, however, should the .a,. f., dnun in cnfficIanf quantity to thoroughly saturate the earth, a reasonable crop of everything will still be grown and harvested. Farmers and others who feel an interest in the welfare of Nor thern Arizona, are jubilant over the refresh ing showers of to-day and their countenances wear broad grin.
 Swilling and Kirby, now at Yuma, are to be examined on the 18th of this month, for having robbed the stage near Wickenburg, on the 18th of April last. There is no evi- dence of reliable character against the prisoners, to the contrary, it will be proven that they were. at the time rhe robbery took place, performing christian act ih taking up the remains of an old pioneer, and an honored gentleman, who was slain seven years ago by the Apaches, and remov. ing the same to Gillett, for the purpose of a christian burial. It may not surprise some of our readers to learn that the stage robbers were quite different parties, and that at the next terra of the District Court, at Phenix, some who are clothed with the robe of office, will be required to give an explana- ton as to their whereabouts on the event. ful evening of April 18th 1878.
