IT is somewhat risky trying Co Inter- viewJ. $. Vosburg, as he is decidedly op- posed 10 the operation. but seeing his brown face in town once more, we girded on our armor last evening and tackled him about the doings of the Tombstone Mill Company, from whose headquarters he is just come, and knows whereof he adirms. He tells us that the heavy tim hers and lumber are coming m steadily, at the rate of six thousand feet per day, and that the mill Is getting into shape as fast AS is consistent with durable work. The battery timbers are on band and the pan and settler frames in place, and the machinery is being fastened 10 them. The grading is completed, the water running in the ditch and very soon the bullion will speak for itself. The probable extent of that rich ore in the Tough Nut is still \ matter Of bewilderment to him, but he says there is no uncertainty about there being enough Co keep Ien-stamps going until the next Centennial. That is as cer' tain as Ayers Pills. People are docking in there by dozens and by hundreds, and the banners still hang on the outward walls. The future seems very bright for him and his associates, as well as TOT many others in Tombstone.

PASSENGERS in from the west complain of their treatment by the Stage Company. The railroad Is now a hundred miles this side Of Yuma, and as the old time was three days, one would naturally suppose that the stage time would now be day less than formerly. But II is not so. Three days are still occupied in the trip; and the fault is laid upon the Stage Company Passengers who have travelled over the road before say that it is worse than ever for tediousness and delays, sioppage over night at Maricopa being one oi the modern improvements. We had hoped that the new company would give us good time with their good stage; but It seems we are not to be surieited with too many good things at once.

A PLEASANT company Of friends spent two or three hours very agreeably at Rev. Mir. AudersOn's last evening. We sup pose the technical name for it was "church social;" but 1t was in reality an informal gathering of the neighbors for chat and a good time. The thrilling dramatic char ade, "The Girl Len Behind Me-" by prominent local artists, followed some good music, and shook the people up. Messrs. Pomroy and Hudson each read a selection from Shakespeare to delighted listeners; and the host went down deep into his apple barrel for the benefit of his guests.

The Late JOlrn Sellers.

The Herai6, paper published week
ly in Lancaster and Philadelphia, de
voted to the interests Of the Society OF
Friends, obtains the following in refer.
ences to the late John Sellers, of Upper
Darby, Pa:
s'The death of our dear old friend
John Sellers recalls visit which the
writer paid to him about two years le-
fore his decease, on which occasion he
reoi,ed some interesting particulars re-
lating to his family history. 1t appears
that the American ancestor of the fami-
ly, whose name was Samuel Sellers,
came to this country in 1854, two years
after the first landing Of Penn, bringing
with him from his Monthly Meeting in
England a certificate: Of his clearness
from marriage engsgements.-'Soon 'af-
ter his arrival, he was married to Anna
Gibbon or Gibbons. Theirs was the
first marriage which took place in the
old meeting house at Darby. The name
of Samuel was handed down from gem
GRAFTON to generation. Putting the
geneslogy in Scripture style, John Sell
lers, Junior, as he was called, was the
son Of John Sellers, senior, who was
the son or Samuel Sellers the. 4th,
who was the son of Samuel Sellers the
3rd who was the son of SamEel Sellers
the End, who was the son of Samuel
Sellers, the first Of the American family.
The grandchildren of our deceased
friend are, therefore, the eighth gene
ration from the original settler. This
will give about twenty-four years to
each generation
