The Governors respite failed 1o ex- tend the lease of life of the two
 'Mollie Maguires, Sharpe and Me DOnnell. who were hanged at Maueh Chunk. Pa, on the 14th inst. The telegraph messenger reached the Jail before the drop fell, but no heed was taken of his knocking and ringing, the wife of one of the culprits bev- ing previously been extremely violent outside the jail. When the drop fell the knocking and ringing continued, and the sheriff sent out man to ar rest the parties, whom he imagined to be creating a disturbance. IL was then found to be telegraph messen- ger with a repriege. 4 brother of Mcdonnell, who had been kneeling by the scafTold, arose and excitedly charged the sheriff and by-standers with the murder of his brother. The excitement spread and the sheriff ap- pealed to one of the priests, who ex- onerated hlm from blame. Amid this excitement, the approaches of the maddened brother of Mcdonnell. and the wailing of the bereaved families outside, the culprlts seem to have been forgotten, and they remained hanging for thirty minutes after the drop feli. There Is no reasonable doubt, however, that they were both dead when the reprieve came. After the bodies were cut down they were placed in eof6ns and given to their families, whose cries could be heard for seyera, blocks. adding greatly to the prevailing excitement. The writ of error in the case of Bergin an- other Molly Maguire) has been re- fused, and the execution will take place as arranged.

s. C. Holbrook, one of the direc- tors of the Isabella Mining Co.,, has letter in the New York Mining Record, of the 11th. in which be makes some very extraordinary state ments about the property of the company in this District. He says four or five of the mines have been so well opened and tested that there can be no longer the least doubt az to their great and permanent value" The mines have not been developed at all. as our readers very well know. The veraciOus Holbrook ends bis cfusion by stating that he confidently expected dividends in Jan uary, but might possibly be obliged to wait until some time in February. !" ys the Hsskin nil is s.andng idle no work is being done on the mines, and one of the best of the eight claims has been jumped. {" that is, relocated by one of Ar. Bixby's former bosom friends and lieuten- ants, the prospect of dividends being paid is rather remote.

We are sorry to learn that a eepu- ty sheriff of Pima county is in pos sesion of Mr. Teague's cattle al Eureka Springs, twelve miles from Camp Grant. From the information we Lave received, it appears that John s. Chisum, of New Mexico, or rather R. N. Hunter, of St. Louis, his assignee, has claim against Air. Teague of S3000 in settlement of ac- counts, a1r. T. having once been foreman on one of Chlsum's cattle ranches. When Deputy Sheriff J. M. Rennie made the levy on the 11th inst, he employed eight or ten as- sistants, at an expense of S50 per day, to round up and herd the cattle, in a few days over 800 head were brought down from the foothills. The weather was very cold and wet, and as the stock were herded all day in .bunch'' out on the plain where very Httle grass could be got. and then corralled at night, the effect Tn de- priving them of flesh can be readily  imagmed. Mir. Assembls man Leich now at Prescott, bought a half in- terest in tue ranch and stock B few weeks ago, and added 200 head of cattle to those previously on the place. Mr. Lelch's cattle are in- cIuded in the attached property, and 1t looks as # he might have, for a time, at any rate, more important business on hand ih his owu county than in the Territorial Legislative Halls at Prescott.

 The weary traveler who reaches the above hostelry will find 1t Q comfor- table place to pass the night in, or te rest a day or two, both for man and beast. 4 good table is set and horses get fairplay, as to hay and barley. It is aear to Camp Thomas, which ssis . military post, pleasantly situated on the south side of the Gila river, about B miles above San Carlos. There are two companies of white soldiers stationed there, one of cavalry and one of infantry, and one company of Indian scouts, the camp of the latter being at a little distance from the main post. h the event of an outbreak of Indians at San Carlos, Camp Thomas is SO situated that they could be intercepted in their raids on the settlers of Pueblo Vieio Valley, or m making for the noun tains on the Mexican frontier where several of the more dangerous tribes ranged in bygone years All around Camp Thomas, southerly towards Camp Grant, is a fine grazing coun- try, but, unfortunately, it is mestly without water, though by the aid of artesian wells tkat lack may ultimate ly'be supplied. Between Camp Thom- as aud San Carlos the wagon road runs most of the way through bot tom land, on the south bank of the Gila river, which # cultivated and properly irrigated would grow almost any ordinary farm crop. Settlers are prevented from locating this fine land as it is included in the Indian Reservation, but nothing has been done by the agency authorities to have 1t improved. 4 RoAMER.

 On the eastern frontier of Arizona, at the town of Clifton, Yavapai eouD- sy, near the New Mexieo line, $50 miles east of Yuma, is one of the richest copper mines on this coast. So easily worked and 80 rich are the ores thas it pays to transport them by team several hundred miles across New Mexico to Trinidad, Colorado whence they ere shipped by rail to Baltimore. Tue mioe is in the hlls some distance from town, and the ore is carried in sacks on mule-back to the reduction works, some nine miles by the clreuitOus trail. The proprie- tors of the mine are about to build a railroad of 20-inch gauge for the purpose of saving this expense. The road wll be five miles in length and will be the first narrow gauge in the Territory. Capt. N. 5. Davis, pioneer Californian and 8 Well-kn0wn civil engineer, started shortly before tue holidays to make the surveys and begln the construction of this road. He is under engagement for one year.

The roof is unusually steep, and in order ito stay up there' a support for the feet was necessary. X joist answered the purpose, which vas suspended from the comb by ropes fastened to either end.

1Ihe woman suffrage question IS oyer-shadowing all others, at present, in the Constitutional Convention. A California member indignantly re- pndiated the eiiete argument that women can't fight, and every married man in the assembly grimly conced- ed the correctness of his views. It is difficult to make the unmarried members believe 1t, though. They still cling to the old theory that wO- men are angels without wings, and that to introduce an element of heavenly origin int' politics would produce most disastrous results.

He died shortly after the amputation cook place.
