TOMBSTONE, February 3, 1879.
 ED. CITIZEN There is nothing very startling this week. The latest excite ment seems to be the townsite furor. During the past week there have been as many as three new towns laid out. MT Stowe, the store keeper at Upper Town, has laid out a very fine town on the west bank of the San Pedro, near the mill-site, and before our surveyor had finished marking out one street. they were commencing building as fast as the pegs were driven. This town will have one advantage over the other lownsiteS. in so much as it has plenty of water. The river San Pedro at this time ot the year yields daily supply of 13,OOO,OOO gallons of the very best water; it has been said by some, that those who drink the river water are liable to take fever, but it is quite mistake; people drinking the running water will escape fever when those who drink we'll water take it.

Mccormick ana the Prince.

Prentice Mulford has a very interest ing letter In late number of the New
 York Graphic, d.tailing Gov. McCor
 hicks la5orious and highly success
 ful la5ors at the Paris Exposition. We ! have only room for the following in
 teresting paragraph:
 1 trust that no ultra republican ore. judice may be excited against the l Chief Commissioner when 1 state the
 fact that the Prince of Wales evi. ! denced a marked friendship for him a preference somewhat beyond the ] bounds of mere official courtesy. On ! the ceremony of rendering the awards,
 as the American delegation of commis. sioners, jurors and exhibitors were fil- ] ing out of the Industrial Palace, the Prince catching sight of Mccormick
 waived all regal ceremony, darted out of the group of royalties and majesties and shook Mccormick warmly by the hand just like Western man." as a beholder remarked. When the Prin- cess Alexandra visited our section and was shown the mammoth beltlng made of 131 COW skins, she innocently in- quired what animal furnished such an enormous hide. The Prince was quite mortified and blushed. But our Chief Commissioner let her out of the blun- der as gently as a born courier, nor did this misapprehension entirely per meate AleXandra's intellect until her arrival home. No wonder the Prince afterwards showed his gratitude to Me Cormick by inviting him 10 breakfast at the Hotel Bristol.
 1 do not think that Commissioner McCormick's nine or ten months of hard work in Paris, and the results to large extent obtained through his eff forts for the country, are as yet tho roughly appreciated by our people. He was no diplomatic fgure-head drawing salary and occasionally re- presenting us at court He has been the working member of the firm.

The Contention looks better every
 day; the ore from the drifts running
 north, at the 113 foot level, has some of
 the richest ore that has yet been taken
 out. It is impossible to estimate the
 value of this property; it is simply i'm
 mense, and Mir White seems 10 be the
 right man in the right place We are expecting the machinery for the mill every day now. There was very good ore sent in from the Omeo claim yes terday. This claim IS the second south from the Lucky Cuss mine. There is good news from the Cachise district, and some splendid gold rock was brought us yesterday. 1 visited the Tory mine this evening, and found that it has been opened up lately to great extent, and the whole valley through which the vein runs. seems covered with ore Work was resumed on the Lucky Cuss yesterday by the new com pany, and they are working in the same tunnel that was commenced by the original workers.
 Sheriff Shibell paid us a visit this week, summoning grand jurors, also stirring up the boys in general. We had a heavy shower yesterday evening and several tents were blown down The Upper Town seemed quite busy this morning making repairs after the storm.

PITTSBURGH, December 23.
A horrible accident happened at the
Union depot, in this city, yesterday, by
which a gentleman well known in
Wheeling suffered horrible death. The
gentleman was Mr.. Leopold, of Louis
vile, Ky, formerly liquor merchant
on large scale, but now travelling
salesman for tobacco manufacturer in
Louisville. He attempted 10 cross the
railroad track between an incoming
train and the check-pOst at the end OF
the track, but was unsuccessful, the
coupling iron of the hind car striking
him in the breast, and mashing him
literally as flat as a wafer. All OF the
contents of his stomach were forced
out of his mouth, and the sight
was so horrible as to sicken
behOlders OF course the unfortunate
man died instantly. Mr.. Leopold will
be remembered in Wheeling as large
and portly Hebrew, remarkably fine
looking, hearty and genial in his man
ner, and a general favorite with liquor
and tobacco merchants throughout this
section of country. lie was not more
than thirty years old.
Two young men of quite respectable
appearance, giving their names as Peter
Thomas and Jack Flock, and their
homes in Clarion county, were arrested
in Lawrenceville last night, on suspicion
of being Showers of the queer" On
the pair was found quantity of coun-
terfeit coin, all half dollar and dollar
pieces, together with Sl00in good money,
a large Smith & WessOn revolver and Il
lot OF small truck purchased by them
for the sake OF getting change. The
names given are most probably fictitious,
as the boys seem to shrewd to give
themselves away"

hosts of old friends at Pittsburgh. Last
night he was presented with big horse

An effort is being made TO organ
iZe an insurance company in Wells
burg with a capital stock OF $4,000. 1t
is estimated that $4,000 goes out of this
county every year for insurance, and it
seems that we ought to be able to form
good company and keep this money at
home. We hope that the citizens Of
Wellsburg and Brooke county will take
with the idea and subscribe stock liber-
ally. 1t will be paying investment.

The Buffalo creek farm OF the late

a very good sale, said farm being sadly
out OF repair, and shows that Brooke
county real estate is going to "boom."

performance of the evening was the dia-

more universally admired was "Daugh-

Miss Mary Campbell as accompanist.

OF India telegraphs to-day as follows:
Dispatches from General Roberts, OF the
10Th, 18th and 18th inst, have just been
received. The defences of Shirpur can
tOnments have been completed. The
enemy occupies the heights over the
city, but does not descend into the
plains, which are patrolled by our cav
airy. General Roberts was waiting the
arrival Of General Cough to make an
attack, as he would then be strong
enough to hold all the important posi-
tions, but he will attack the enemy be-
fore the arrival OF Cough, il favorable
opportunity offers. Our loss on the l4th
inst. was twenty-eight killed and ninety
nine wounded, of whom eight have since
died. The enemy's loss was very heavy.
Osman Khan and other Afghan leaders
were killed. On the 18th inst. the enc
my appeared on the Siahung, but they
were quickly dislodged without loss on
our side. The enemy's numbers are di-
minishing.
