The Board of Supervisors were h session | this morning, put what they accomplished we do not pretend to know. The papers would gladly give to the people of the town and county, the transactions of that Honor 1 able body, if they could be easily aud agree ably obtained. Such is not the case how ever. and the public will have to guess at the doings of our County Supervisors. A bid was received for executing the printing for the County, from a San Francisco firm.

 J. Goldwater, the senior member of the mercantile firm of J. Goldwater & Bro, oneos our soundest and oldest business firms, which does extensive business in Prescott and Ehrenberg, arrived last evening from San Francisco, coming by way of Yuma, Flor ence and Phenix. MT. Goldwater thinks our town vastly improved since his last visit here some, seven years ago, at which time the Indians held perfect sway over nearly every road and trail throughout the entire Territory, and shot our friend Gold water on his departure from Prescott for his home at Ehrenberg. Mir. Goldwater's many friends are glad to see him here where he is so largely interested.

A few days since there were but five prisoners confined in the iail, and at presentswe find
 Mir. Walker, Sheriff; NIT. Herbert, Under Sheriff; Mr. Saint James, Deputy Sheriff,
 attending to this work with Mir. Long at quite a heavy salary ss assistant. We mere l ly mention these little facts of no conse | quence to satisfy the craving that some of our
 readers have, that we fad fault

 Wash bills presented on Saturday after
