SAN MARCOS, May z Three
weeks ago, farmers in this section
wore very long facesin consequence
of the protracted drouth, and many
of them believed that they would
suffer the same fate they did in 1879

we have had an abundance of rain,
so much that there is every ps respect

A FAIR sample of the star mail
routes is the river route between
st. Louis and st. Paul. AS it takes
four days for the boats to run be-
tween these two points, whereas
the railroads can carry the mails in
one day, nobody ever thinks of
his letters via the river. AS
a consequence the mail bag is al
ways empty. The government, how
ever, pays $37, 900 q year for the
transportation of an empty leather
bag up and down the river.

the grounds until late yesterday
evening, were driven home i'm the
widest confusion by a copious rain
which began falling late in the after

THE INDIANS.
Troops Defeat the Apaches In the
80 Lake Valley. iffl

DENvER, August 2s.-Santa F,
specials give the following account
of a fight in the Lake Valley a few
days ago: Lieut. Smith and his force
of twenty men had been on the trail
several days, and by forced marche,
overlook the Indians near McEvery',
rancho, in the Lake Valley district
The Indians were strong in numbers
and Smith attacked them, expecting
reinforcements from the troops fol.
lowing some distance behind. The
soldiers were being rapidly shot
down, when, at a critical moment,
Geo. DAILY with his force of twenty
miners arrived and joined in the
fight and the Indians were routed
with great loss. They however, car.
ried of their dead and wounded, so
that their exact loss could not be as
certained. The whites lost Geo.
DAILY, Lieut.. Smith and four men
killed, and eleven wounded. Days
part in the attack grew out of the
attack by the Apaches on his camp,
in which the Indians were met by
all the miners of the camp, DAILY
commanding, and repulsed. DAILY
at once collected twenty men and
started in pursuit overtaking the
Indians as above. Smith was one of
the best officers of the Ninth Cav
airy, has engaged in several cam
paigns, and was several times brew.
cited for bravery.
Lieut.. Dimmick, with company
of cavalry, and Lieut.. Taylor, with
twenty Indian scouts who were but
a few hours behinds Nana's main
band, arrived during the evening
and without stopping continued the
pursuit. They have probably over
taken the Indians before this, as the
latter would be considerably delayed
by carrying or burying the dead.
The hostiles are near the Mexican
line, making for chihuahua, and are
well armed and mounted. The Mes
caleros, who have been fighting with
Mama, are trying to sneak back to
the agency by twos and threes.
A company of cavalry has been
ordered to guard Hillsboro and the
Lake Valley settlements, and, if pos
sible cut off and hold Nana's band
till Taylor and Dimmick overtake
them.

Schaeberle's Comet.

The approaching comet &C. 1881
discovered by Professor Schaeberle,
Julyaris more than fulfilling its early
promises. Though dimmed by the
light Of the fun moon il is already
visible to the unaided eye and israp-
idly increasing in apparent size and
brilliancy. 1t is about fifteen times
az bright as it was a month ago,
Its bright nucleus, of an estimated
diameter of from ten to twelve thous
and miles. is surrounded by a hazy
envelope or comma perhaps fifteen
times as much in diameter. Its tail
is said to surpass that of the great
comet of 1858, the most conspicuous
comet of the century, when that
comet was as far from perihelion,
Like comet b, now slowly going
out of sight, the new comet remains
above the horizon all night, bat its
motion is such that it will rapidly
disappear after it passes the earth.
The comet is to be looked for near
the star Theta of the Great Bear,
the tail pointing toward the north
star. ai3 rf frIt
