 THE case of the Territory vs J. c. Handy, which vas decided by Judge French last Friday, involves a principle which may be of interest to our Territorial neighbors. Dr. Handy allowed drain to ventin the public street. Our city author tiles pronounced this nuisance and com menced proceedings against the Doctor, who, on the contrary, claimed it was the duty of the city to provide sewers for the accommodation Of its citizens. The case was tried before the City Recorder and de- cided against defendant. He appealed to the District Court, and last Friday Judge French decided that according to the pres ent construction Of our Territorial statutes there can be no appeal from a Recorders Court. This seems to us to be most ab- surd defect in our statutes, but nevertne- less such was the decision.
 HoN. JOHN J. KLEINER, Mayor Of Evansville; MT. J. D. Swan, Of Indianapo- lis, and Judge W. II. Bount, of ROckpoTt, Indiana, were among the arrivals on the coach from the East yesterday. THE CITI- ZEN announced two weeks ago that it was Mayor KIeiner's Intention to visit Ari- zona during the month. He aud MT swan are here to examine properties in which they are interested, nS well as to examine and report upon mines in which their friends have invested. They will stay day or two in town and then make a tour through the adjacent districts south. These gentlemen represent capital and in- fiuence, and IL is 10 be hoped they will find our people c0ngenial and our mining probabilities encouraging. Judge Bount intends 10 locate fin Tucson in the prac- iice Of his profession. We extend to these gentlemen cordial welcome and bespeak for them the courtesies of our citizens.
 THE slow ancient process Of tramping out grain by means of herds Of animals Is evidently to be superseded in our val ley by the Yankee threshing machine. Mir. A. A. Wilt. Of Tres Alamos, is now running his thresher early and late on the grain Of some of our Santa Cruz farm CTS. This is a clean, rapit process. and indicates the civilization and progress Of some of the natives. The harvesting and threshing is progressing nicely and the yield Is good.
 THE people along the old stage road west of Florence are troubled about their mails. Mir Dempsy, who is in town from Montezuma, tells us that the direct road from Florence to the Casa Grande station will run directly past the famous old Casa Grande building. This will bring the mail about twelve miles further down the road and will help out the settlers in that vicinity very much in this particular.
 IR. THOMAS M. YERKEs, who was at one tune one of Arizona's most useful and opulent citizens has again returned to Tucson after an absence Of nve or SIX years in Mexico, Colorado, and the East. Mir. Yerkes is here to look after some i'm portant mining interests which he has In the Patagonia District. He will meet cordial welcome.
