Family Feud in Maryland.


A dispatch dated December ~, says:-A
fend has existed for some time between the
families Of George Clark and John Lylas,
living near Poolesyille, Montgomery county,
Md, and on several occasions members Of
both families have been shot and cut in en-.
counters that grew out Of the bad blood ex-
isting between them. On Saturday three of
the Lyles, father and two sons, were in bar
room when Clark was put out for quaTTeling.
Clark returned and brandished dirk knife
and said that IL any man hit him he would cut
him with the knife. John Lyles responded,
saying that he would strike any man with the
anger handle be had ia bis hand, IL he entered
the barroom and made fool Of himself.
Clark thereupon made dash ct Lyles with
the knife, and cut cash IN his cheek. Lyles
struck Clark with the anger handle, and both
were put out of the place. Outside they
clinched. Lyles being the stronger man,
Clark was thrown TO the ground, with his op.
ponent on top. While down on the ground,
Clark plunged the dirk into Lyles's leg three
times, severing the main artery, from which
be bled to death in short time. Moses
Lyles, father Of John, was fatally cut in the
abdomen By Clark in trying 70 save his son.
After stabhing the father and one son, Clark

PENNSYLvANIA
SULKY Pillow COMFY. (LinitGd)
OF PHILADELPHIA, PA.

TN 1878 an attachment for common plow
Il was invented by practical farmer, that
can in ten minutes be connected with any
ordinary pillow, which changes il at once into
complete sulky pillow. Ii consists Of one
large wheel which runs upon the land side,
smaller one under the beam, and another
that runs In the fnrrow behind the plaw.
These wheels carry the weight Of the pillow,
entirely removing the friction upon the bot
tom aud land side, one of which, together
with the upright beam, regulates the width
and depth Of the furrow. IL is provided with
an easy seat enabling the driver TO have at
all times both his pillow and team under his
control. Once set, its work is not easily
changed. The relieving of the pillow from the
side and bottom friction results in reducing
ihe draught over 20 per cent; even when
carrying the driver the draught is full twenty
per cent. less than that Of the walking pillow
with the driver trudging in the furrow behind.
Ii can be attached with equal ease to right
or lelt'hand pillow, and when properly attach.
ed, any one, male or female, who is old
enough 10 manage team, eau perform as
good work rs the most skillful plowman can
do without it. A saving of 10 per cent. of the
draught is guaranteed.
Ii is simple in construction, durable, easily
attached to the plow, and in every way per.
iectly adjustable. IL IS attached by means OF
clamps and bolts, without cutting or boring
the beam, and can be placed in position for
day or weeks plowing in ten minutes by
any one with sense enough to handle com
mon walking pillow. In going to or leaving
the field, the plow is raised by lever, and
the driver can ride as easily as on any of the
expensive snlky plows. Its cost is SO low
that any one having two or more acres TO
pillow, cannot afford to be without one.
ADVANTAGES.
The draught is one.iilh lighter.
2--lt is not necessary for farmer to have
two sets Of machines in order to do his
blowing, as he can change any ordinary walk.
ing pillow into a riding pillow

The following, taken from the Arizons Niaer, is m unbiased and uapreiudiced opinion on the Capital question: This question, which has taken up SD much time of previous legislatures, and been the cause of much sectional feeling. iS again being agiiaied by the Tenth Legislature IL seems 10 Us. that the agitation of this measure at this lime, is quite impol- itic. and should be laId upon the table The railroad is fast approach ing the interior of Arizona, and with il is coming q large immigration. New mining districts are springing up all over the Territory, and within the next two years the population will be so settled and distributed that at that time the people will be better prepared to say where the future capital of the Territory shall be Io cated, and it certainly seems unwise at this time to agitate this old sore. Pinal county seems to he looming up. and judging from her wonderful shipments of bullion it is more than likely that Florence will be looking fir tha capital to be located within h'r limits inside the next two years Th"n, we have the Tombstone dis trict looking up just now, and should onc-half be true about the wonderful richness of the mines of that district, then Pima county may want the cap ital.
 The rapid increase of population to the Territory is really astonishing. and il is certainly unwise to put the capital on wheels and set it to rolling. until such lime as it can be takcn-if it is to be taken-and placed where it may remain permanently. It may be wise for our Pima county friends to abstain, for the present, from agitating the capital question, for the simple reason that Yarapai will see to it, that wherever hereafter the capital belongs, it will be located. should our friends remain quiet for the present and let the tide of emi- grafton determine the question.

WE clip the following well timed remarks relative to the repair of the Black Canyon route from the Eat,r- prise of the 25lh, and we are heartily glad to see the beginning of more fraternal feeling on the part of our capital city toward the garden of Arizona" The road via Gillette and Agua Fria is nearly fifty miles short 1T than the route now travelled. and might be repaired at a nominal cost. when the immense advantages to be gained are considered. The complete repairing of this route will 20 far towards practically opening up the Peck and Bradshaw districts. in which are the Tiger, Peek, Silver Prince, Black Warrior, Gray Eagle. Cougar, War Eagle and many other mines of known richness. and also the Tip Top mine. We sincerely hope the suggestions contained in our contemporary may be productive of good results, and congratulate OUT citizens in having a representative at the seat of government so alive to their interests:
 Judge Alsap stated, in an inter view we had with him yesterday. that in his opinion the shipping point for Salt River Valley and this section would be town established by the railroad near Maricopa Wells. and about twenty-five miles from Phenix. The road from that point to Prescott should be made via Phcnix and LID through the mountains to Prescott. Had We first-class highway from that point through Salt River Valley tO..this place it would increase travel and intercourse between the people. and would thus ho away with any feelings of i'll will that might exist. We certainly are in favor of any such move for it is ridiculous that two towns, so thoroughly identified in interest as Prescott and Phenix, and only seventy-five miles apart. should through the lack of a good road, be as great strangers to each other as these towns now arc. Anything to promote hoSpitable intercourse and good will should meet the approval of all. We depend on Salt River Valley for breadstuffs and the people there depend on us for a market, and the best road in the Territory should be between these places"

On tO Mexico.

VERA CRUZ, Mexico. January II - Via Brownsville, Texas. January b. The industrial dcputation arrived last night, and as a norther was blow ing, came 10 anchor. We ran into the harbor this morning. and landed at s o'clock. a reception committee boarding the vessel 10 direct the de- barkation.
 Away out at sea from Vera Cruz the white, spectre-looking peak of Mount Orizaba rose, and then the towers of the old city. We passed by the dingy-lookiug fortress of Una, leaving it to tlc southeast as we steamed up the north channel. The white surf line marks the spot where the reefs are hidden. and where, no doubt, Cortez wrecked his ships when he landed at this very spot in 13l9, and sent back word to his royal master that he had burned them to cut off all chance for retreat.
 Leaving the vessel. we were cs- corted by the reception committee to the Commercial Club House to breakfast, and we lunched at noon at Vera Cruz Hotel. The Governor and Alcalde visited places of interest with the party.
 The city is surrounded by wall or circle of walls, and is located in the m idst of cheerlcss-looking sand-hilIs. The Il ouscs are mostly built of a kin d of white coral called madrc- pore, taken from the adjacent sea. The effect is pleasing. the stone giv- ing q certain air of grandeur to the cdifices.
 The streets are evenly laid out. running northeast and southwest. and vice versa. The pavcments are made of cobblc-stoncs taken from the river Antigua, 1 am told The sidewalks arc chiefly of kind of composite of lime, sand and refuse.
 The houses arc mostly two-storv and appear to be commodious. Their architecture Is something of the MOorish order, and no two of them are alike. The families occupy the upper stories chiefly, the ground floor being used for a storc-room. There are number of squares or plazas in the city. The first we saw was the Mole; formed by the customs ware houses. There arc also the Plaza dc Armas, Plaza de Caleta, where the Mexican railway station is situated. the markct-placc of San Augustin. and several others. There are said To be about ,lA0 houses in the city. cy- elusive of churches, to accommodate f2,G00 people.
 Among the places that we visited III the city were the Palace. the Pubic Library, founded in 1868. the theatre, the market places, and some of the churches.
 We will start for Arizava at two o'clock, and arrive at Mexico to-mor- TOW Wednesday, All well. Thor mvmoter So.

TIE bill introduced by Mir Rowe. of Gillett, appropriating $20,0O0 for the construction of wagon road from Bradshaw City to the nearest practicable paint on the road from Gillett to Pheuix, has passed the Council and will no doubt pass the House at an early day This bill will prove of great benefit to Phenix. and how with a road through Telegraph Pass, thus giving us direct connection with the railroad at Maricopa Wells. there should be no reason why Phenix merchants should not supply all the mining country to our north that now to great extent secure their goods from Prescott.
