Next Sunday morning at nine o'clock, W H Swain will talk to the people of this city, from Irvine's cor ner on the the following subject '>Tcll us what shall these things be, and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and the end of the world"
 Geo. F. Coats of the firm of Wood head 6 Gay, Los Angeles, has opened new fruit store in the frame build ing on Washington street, adjoining Irving's brick building. In addition he will keep all kinds of trees and seeds; also butter, eggs, etc. He will run wagon between this city and the railroad, making three trips per week, bringing fresh goods in his line, day and a-half from Southern California. The trip over from Mar icopa will be made in the night, thus keeping them in the freshest condi- tion.
 MT. D. Balse, has just return ed from a trip to Tonto Basin, and re ports the following item in the last Si10er Belt, as correct: On the 10th inst, near Green Valley, Tonto Basin, band of fifteen or more renegade
 
 and Wixon and after taking ever fling of value, set fire to the balance and shot at tue parties, but without effect, and retreated in the direction of the Mogollon mountains, which they set on fire to cover their tracks. Near the same place and time they raided the ranch of Mir Houston, and killed five horses and several head of cattle It has not been ascertsined to what tribe these Indians belong.
 On Sunday last our town for short time was the scene of excitement and bioodshed. For several hours during the day races were indulged in, at iracting large crowd Of lookers-on- After the races, and while tue crowd were discussing tine merits and de merits of their respective favorites, Mexican, mounted on q fine animal, was seen approaching with drawn sabre in his hand. Upon reaching the crowd he dashed through, strik- ing right and left with his weapon, severely wounding three men on the head. He rode down the street for q block, then turning, put spur to his horse and rushed through the street again, striking, but fortunantly not hitting any one. Several shots were fired at him on his return but unfor- tunately missed him. Seeing that of ficers were after him, he concluded that to "git" was the better part of valor. He was followed for some distance but being on the f1eetest ami nal made good his escape. He is said to have taken the ODDOrtunitV of the large crowd to avenge the death of brother who was killed some time since while attempting to rob a stage. The people were so in censed at the time that had he been caught, we fear some hemp would have been stretched.

! PICKET PoST, May 23, 1879 ! ED. HERALD: Having desire to leave the crowded city to rusticate and luxuriate midst mountain seen cry and cool breezes, we left here last Friday morning 10 cross the Pinal range via Stoneman's grade, Devils Canyon, Bloody Tanks and other euphoniously named places 10 Globe City At the King mine, we partook of an excellent dinner, such as Mrs. O'Boyle knows how to serve. Found the hoisling works set and on trial. Was informed by Aaron that the tim bers would be here in a few days and the engine would be put to work The mine is turning out its usual quantity and quality of rich ore. After we had feasted our eyes on the bonanza at distance, we descende q the mountain in slow and measured steps to its summit Then, after cast ing one longing, lingering look east ward over the Gila and Salt River valleys, we struck out for Pinal Ranch, beautiful oasis amidst a sea of barren mountains, where we were entertained by MT. Ieru, and his ex cellent lady, who know how to make a temporary home for strangers, pleasant.
 GLOBE CITY.
 On our arrival at Globe City, the headquarters of probably one of the richest mineral districts on the conti- nent, we found a village nestled among the bluffs of the Plnals, md on a branch of Pinal Creek, assuming the air of city. Its store rooms are well filled with goods, and tastily ar ranged. Many of the buildings have neat fronts and awnings, with neatly painted signs, so that one could tell whether he was approaching a sa- loon, a smith shop or house of mer chandise. Several hotels, we'll and neatly kept, with abundance ofviands prepared to satisfy the most fastidious We were entertained at the house of MT. Weber and son, and found it in every respect a cheerful and pleasant home We made the acquaintance ! of many of the business men, and the | genial editor of the .Stl0er BeLt There is an air of activity and order pervad ing the young city, which would l eclipse many towns of greater age | and pretentions in the east. Strang | CTS are made welcome, and generally l leave the town with kindly feeling | and good impressions. The citizens are alive to the attainment of any en terprise of lalda5le character; and are not slow in taking hold of moral and educational matters.
 MINOR MENTION.
 The Isabella mill is now rnnning and working rich ores. Mine owners and prospectors speak hopefully of the future. The people of Globe dis trict deserve to succeed, and we trust that bright future awaits them.

m. oomins Pleasure.

Probably there is now, or never was
nublic entertainment of as short q life,
that has become 30 widely and popu-
iarlv known as al. M. 8. Pinafore,"
and certainly none from which excerpta
have been a. frequently taken and
Quoted. Indeed, its reputation has ex-
tended in manner and with celebrity
only eoualled by "Shoo Fly" 1t has
been running night after night at all OF
our large cities simultaneously, and
never fails to draw crowds and to please
them after it gets them. That Wheeling
il 10 have "Pinofore" is very generally
known, and that it will be very credita-
bly rendered, and q complete success is
as generally conceded, butitmust be seen
to be appreciated. 1t is astonishing that
of the many persons who talk so volubly
of this comic opera and 80 glibly quote the
well-known portions, comparatively
few know any thing about it. Well,
for those persons especially, treat is
is in store and they will not miss 1t,
nor will their sisters and their-that IL,
all their relations.
A full dress rehearsal was held last
night at the Opera house, and all passed
off satisfactorily. The numerous friends
who were present, were a unit OF COM
mendation and from all appearances
nothing will fall short of public ex'
recitation. Three performances will be
given, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day OF next week, and if you desire q
choice seat, 90 at once to Lucas music
stora and mako a selection.

GRAVY Drunk.

Last night about IL o'clock Bill
Florence, a lad about sixteen years of
age, returned to his home at Jennie
Norrington's on Sixteenth street, crazy
drunk and upon being told to leave the
house by the Madame, Florence shot at
her with revolver, which he had sue
ceeded in getting from his room. The
Chief of Police was notified of the young
lads promiscuous shooting and the way
in which he scattered the inmates OF the
house, but in the meantime
two persons who were passing
the place and who learned
that the boy was in the house, with all
of the doors locked, went down INTO the
cellar from the pavement and up pair
of stairs into the room where he was,
and there confronted him with revolv-
er in each hand. Florence saw the
wicked weapons and weakened. He
was taken to the corner OF Market and
Fourteenth streets, where he was turned
over to Officer McCully, who locked him
up shortly after - o'clock, for a hearing
this morning. 1t is great wonder that
the fellow did not shoot some one OF the
women in the house, as he shot among
them promiscuously.

"An for a Quarter" or, the Methodist
Church Social.

When a church society gives sup
per, and most tempting and appetlZ-
ing one too, all for quarter, many per-
sons have many reasons for attending IT.
There is the business man with little
time and distant home, who regards
it in the light of special providence:
The clerk who lives at a restaurant and
has to pay for his supper anyhow,
brings To these spreads happy heart
and hcalthful appetite, and feeds bet
ter than usual Enthusiastic young
ladies and more temperate matrons, who
can get Il good meal at home, come
along and pay their quarters, and prob
ably don't eat much. Some come from
good motives, some from medium ones
and some from purely selfish ones. Some
come for society, some for amusement
and some for luck But all get good
supper, and the average clerk, with a
list of debts rs long as clothes line and
five dollars a week, for once gets square
meal.
The Fourth Street Church has a rep
utation for getting up delicious repasts,
and the one last night was fully up to
the standard. Everything tempting in
the eating line was there, and more too.
From O'Clock until half-past Z, a swarm
of appettes came, ate and were APP
peased. The ladies in waiting were
kind and attentive, and deserve COM
mendation.
The dessert to this fashionable dinner
was as pleasant as possible; We refer to
the enjoyable exercises, musical and
literary. With the sweet voices Of the
singers and the merry laughs OF the con-
versers still ringing in our ears, we COM
mend the efforts OF all concerned to
make the evening a success.
