A CURIOUS CLOCK.

The Scientific american describes
and illustrates IL remarkable clock
which it is claimed surpasses all
other neurological achievements, not
excepting the great clock mt Stras-
burg. The new time-piece is the
invention of Mr.. Felix Meier, of
Detroit, Michigan.
The clock is eighteen feet high,
eight feet wide by five feet deep,
and weighs four thousand pounds.
The framework is entirely of black
walnut, elegantly carved. Above
the main body Of the clock is mar
BILE dome, upon which Washington
sits in his chair of state, protected
by a canopy, which is surmounted
by q gilded statue of Columbia; on
either side of Washington is q col
ored servant III livery, guarding the
doors which open between the pill
lars that support the canopy; on the
four corners of the clock are black
walnut inches containing human
figures, emblematic of the march OF
life; the two lower ones are sup
ported by tiamin. torches: one>of
them contains the figure of M IL ,,

OIL
Certificate of a Prominent Citizen
of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
in "a Hours after the first ap-
plication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAMLIN.-When I met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf-
fering severely with Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at time to my bed. The balance of the
time l was compelled to crawl around upon
crutches. L used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless Asto what
1 suffered, the English language cannot tell
it to any one who has not tried its realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty four hours. / used a bottle
day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
spnt cord OF wood as quick as any man In
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
a change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how I
have been, I will say, when 1 commenced
using Wizard Oil, / could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to a mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when Il moved upon
crutchcs, or tried to stand
without them, L could not raise
either foot from the floor.
used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. I now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-five
pounds IN flesh. But I must tell you it seems
almost like dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
gems of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements

CALABASAS, February IS.
 EDITOR CITIzEN:-Our usually quiet
 village was greatly disturbed & few
 days since by an occurrence, the end
 of which is not yet. The Magdalena
 stage arrived at the present station.
 two miles from this place on the even
 ing of the 18th instant, hlving among
 the passengers the Sheriff of Los An
 geles county, California, and his pris
 oner, Mr. Hamilton. On the morning of the 18th the prisoner asked permis- sion to step outside the building for al few minutes, which request was grant ed, and since which time the author thorities in charge have not seen him. The Sheriff at once engaged force of Mexicans and dispatched them in diff ferent directions in pursuit. They struck his trail going toward Sonora, and at the present writing the latest news is that he is in the vicinity of the Planchcs, but has not been recuptured. The above statement is the result Of had with the Sheriffby diff ferent parties immediately after the escape. Speaking of the citizns of the county that live on the border, the is with the escaped pris- 1ner, and against negligent officials.
 This place promises to be an import mt business center, being the nearest I point to the Santa RilaS, ihe Patago- llas, the Guibnbi, the PlancheS and sonora generally, where a full stock of | ,oods in the different hne. will be ,ept. The attention of mining men will be directed 10 the large interests n our vicinity during the present year,
 nd milling and smelting facilities will soon be afforded. And don't you C orget it. WIG.

We met NIT W. A. Howard, just in
 from thIs new camp, exhibited to
 us some remarkable rich specimens
 of gold and silver ore. taken from claims located by Konrad SOier, Ed
 ward Hudson, D. B. Req and himself.
 This new district has been discovered
 but short time and lies about forty five miles northwest of Tucson, near the new GlnIe City and Tucson road in The low foot hills of the Blood Sucker mountains During the past month the miners have been busy de veloping ledge-, which show large bodies of rich carbonate and black sGl- phuret ores with very high lev of native gold in some rock, beautiful chispas of bright shining yellow stuff occurring GOt only in the oxide of ironI strea6s In the rock, but also in thcl white quartz The ledge matter in thel ne called the Favoriie is about threel feet wide; and in another, the Willow, | four feet. Several tons of ore are nkcn out with the little uncoveringI hey have done on the lodges, and large bodies of high grade ore are in sight. From the surface indications these are prospects, and bid fair to goI town, as they gre in the primitive for nation and show we'll wedced ledge natter in walls from the surface, and ve hope soon tn see booming mining
 amp Tn that section and the en- erprise of the discOverers rewarded.

GU1ym1S.

If 1t be true that the Atchison To peka and Sarta Fe Railroad Company
 has commenced building the Plcitic Coast terminus of its road al Quay
 mas, the fact is a significant ons. It means that the heavy capitalists who own that road have determined to commence rival city to San Fran cisco, a thousand miles further south
 and yet nearer the great cities of the
 Easl than San Francisco is by several
 hundred miles. Guaymas is so favor
 ably situated and has so superb har-
 Dor that had it been within the bOnn-
 diaries "f the United States it would
 before this have heen a large city. IL.
 IS lar better situated for the trade of
 the western shores of the continent
 south than San Francisco is, while itI
 Is Just as convenient to the Sandwich and South Sea Islands, and though itI
 IS farther from Japan and China than San Francisco Is, though sea voyage rom Japan would be day or twoI longer 10 Guaymas than to San Fran CISCO, there would be saving of GOO miles in crossing the continent in favor ot the southern port, and that means a ! good deal Tn the matter of freIghts. |
 The Atchis0u, Topeka and Santa Fe road has its present western terminus Tar into New Mexico. The gap be- tween that terminus and Guaymas can easily be filled in year, and the com pany IS rich enough 10 put on its own steamers to Central and South Amer
 ca, Australia and China. If it has iecided to do this, real estate in Quay mas ought to be a good present pur- 'hase. Again, S"nora is very great inning and wheat growing State, and few miles back of GuaymaS exien- i've beds of excellent coal are waitingl or steam communication with the , oast. Some time Guaymas is going be to San Francisco what Baltimore to New York, and if through rail ( nad connection to St. Louis and Chi [ ago Is made with that port this year l ne western terminus will soon be- ' ome an Important city, Virginia I fly Enterprise.

 As result of my efforts 1 had the pleasure of securing the re-appOint- ment, and confirmation by the Senate, of Judge French, as Chief Justice oi the Supreme Court of Arizona, and the appointment and confirmation oi MT. Pomroy as United States DIrtrict Attorney; believing their appointment would be acceptable to the people of the Territory.
 Among other measures introduced by me, whcch consider of great lm- portance and of much interest 10 the people, IS bill making appropriation of S20,O00 for the completion of the Territorial Prison at Yuma; one ask Ing Sl0,000 for the improvement ot Colorado River; a bill asking $5O,00U for the erection and furnishing of an Assay Office at some point to be des- ignated, m the Territory; bill mak- ing an appropriation of $2O,OOO for the at Tucson, of a building to be used for Postoffice. Custom House and other purposes; and bill making an appropriation Of S5O,OO0 for the of Public Highway, or Military road across the Mogallon Mountains. sf
 The importance of thes0 general measures cannot be denied, ana 10 SC cure the passage of which 1 shall spare neither time nor labor.
 As 10 other matters of public inter e-t to my constituents 1 think l can say, without arrOgating too much to myself, that l have succeeded in bring ng about d decided improvement In nal facilities tn oughout the Terri ory. These matters, with the meas Ires 1 have now pending before Con- ,ress, 1 hope my friends and the people, who have hnnored me with heir confidence, will accept as an .arnest of what my efforts hereafter will be in their behalf; and should the people of Arizona see it 10 agninI lonOr me by 8 reelection to the posi-. ion which now hold, will endeavor 0 make my future efforts an improve nent on the past.
