 Sergeant Tea of the Sixth Cavalry, came up from Fort Verde yesterday. The sergi says that extensive improvements are being made at ass.! alont the Post, and that Fort Verde will soon be one of the prettiest ard most comfortable Government stations in the Territory. There are now four conipa- nies stationed Ihere. two of the Sixth Cav airy and two of the Twelfth Infantry, and that company of Indian scouts will soon be stationed there. As Mir. Tea is noted as being pretty good pedestrian, match will no doubt be arranged between him ana some of the other Westonion aspirants.
 xv ..t,l:.h A., .,,- .l,a -.,oaxl,s of tho Salt River Herald on communication frum Prescott to the Radiator, oakland, Cal. Not having seen the communication, We. of course, arc not fully appraised of how villiaaous it really is, but from such extracts as the Herald makes. it is evidently written in malice and without the least regard f0r truth. Such attempts to poison public opinion usually carry with them their own antidoie, and so it will be m this case, nevertheless VIC. on behalf of our people. thank the Herald for it's able refutation of the slandcrer.
 The stage was robbed of ". f. l5 Co.'S express box again last night. as will he seen by our dispatches to-day. The robbers were either not well posted. CT were afraid io at- tack so formidable an escort as accompanied the ST, ,lG5 GS m silver. and $l.509.2S In gold, making a total of SIS GA 96, from Prescott, and 5000 from WickenDurg. shipped by W.

Beach were the lads who would have had to be yanquished in order to take in the treasure. and the robbers were wise in allo~ing them to pass, even at the risk of making a water haul on the night following. THASKs.-We are directed by the head of the domestic department of the MINER es tablishment, and minister ofculinary affairs, toexpress her Thanks to Mrs. Capt. A. Jack son, O. 0ak Creek, for the two largest and best melons that have found their way to Prescott this season.
 The watermelon was a rouser and mar vsl of crispDess, freshness and sweetness. hut the musk melon was simply perfection itself. Had we been in Capt. Jacksons place, and known, as he must have known, how good they really were, it IS quite doubtful whether or not they would ever have reached their destination. ARRESTED FoR STEALiNe.-A man by the name of Jack Shay was arrested yester- day by Marshal Dodson, and turned over to the Sheriff, charged with stealing blankets and other property from n bsckroom at Fishers saloon. On being taken before Justice Moves. Shay pleaded two special prints in justification or mitigation of his ofieuse, viz, previous good character and of the crime. The Justice decided that good character IS not tha best recommend ation man can have in this community. especially if he is found guilty of stealing; and as f1r lrunkeuncSs ii ia bnf little more
