 PRuF. NJ. H. SHERMAN, Superintendent of Public Instruction in Arizona, arrived
 from Prescott by coach on Saturday even
 ing, and will spend several days in our city, during which time he hopes 10 meet our good people and obtain such informa- ton as may aid him in the discharge of
 his important Guties. MT. sherman has
 already spent five years in the public schools or our Territory, and Is. therefore.
 we'll posted with regard to the condition and necessities Of his rield. Although a young man he has already succeeded in doing a good wOrK among the rising gen. eratiOn. and us he was born a teacher he chosen profession, which ranks first among the responsible avocatious Of man. Our citizens will find Mir. Sherman a con- genial gentleman Of culture and good Judgment. We trust his visit will prove a pleasant one and that our schools will prosper under his management.
 ThB infant son Of Manuel VRsquez dIed this morning. Just previous 10 us death a priest was sent for to baptize It. but he arrived few minutes too late. The child was dead, and the baptism had been ad. miniStered by its grand mother. The parents desire that the body shall be buried next 10 that Of It's grandfather, in that part Of the cemetery which has re- ceived the benediction of the Catholic church, but the church authorities as- suIne 10 deny The privilege on the ground that the baptism was irregular. The friends Of the family are very indignant at the rule which would thus divide their dead. and will not be satisfied without an appeal to the city authorities.
 MoRoNEY's Ice machine at LevIn's Park Is now completed, and test Of the works will be made thls evening. 1T nII works well, & batch Of ice will be made for sale tomorrow. The full capacity Of the ma chinery Is four tons. which will go around n good way among the thirsty masses of Tucson. The railroad bill Of ladIng show that Mir. Moroney's machinery left San July l4, and it must be ad- mitted that twenty days Is a very short lime in which to have il up and running. Such promptness deserves recognition from the people it Is meant to serve, and We are sure there will be no want of patron age for this new enterprise.
 THE coach from Cnss Grande last even. Ing did not get In until ten o'clock. Wel learn from Mir. Bartholomew that the de- lay was caused by thigh water on inc lesert." Now thls statement may seem paradoxicRl but It Is neverthe- less quite true. The heavy rains in the | vicinity of Picacho converted Inc plains west of that station Into one grand lake, through which the driver picked his way with great difficulty and at a very slow pace. The roads this side Of Plcacho were muddy, but the water had mostly run | ,R.
 A MOST refreshing rain ommenced last evening at about 6:3O o'clock and contln. led steady and gentle for several hours. | Dur reporter gave up the watch at mid night. This mOrning there were some clouds, but the day has been bright and ,ool with pure fresh breeze thnt ought Q makeall happy. At the signal office he thermometer only reached 90, which $ not warm enough to speak ol IL Is probable that the backbone of the heated easOn IS broken.

He has been travelling about ! the country on both sides Of the divid- ig line between New Mexico and ArI- Ona and has not seen or heard anything depredaIins Indians.
