Mrs. Jennie Calderwood, wife of
DIR. John CaIderwood. died in this city
the night of the 31st ult., after four
months patient suffering, and but a
few days after completing her 34th
year. Mrs. Calderwood was born in
Port Gibson, Miss, and was the niece
of Mr.. Henry O'Kelly and the sister of
William and Thomas O'Kelly. She
leaves little girl three years old TO be
reared by some other than her mother,
but fortunately by an aunt to whose
affectionate keeping she will be con.
signed by the sorrowing father. The
"iron tongue of time'' had not yet
knelled the death of the Old Year,
though but a few minutes We're to
elapse, when the dying mother, full
of hope for the future and blessed with
a resignation which comes alone from
faith, called to her bedside him with
whom she had hoped to live many
years, old and new, and said to him,
81 shall pass my New Year in
heaven" In little while, the gentle
spirit took its flight, and, yet a few
minutes more, the little clock on the
mantel struck the hour of twelve. Not
in the cold, but in the warm earth, the
kind mother of us all, this little mother
was laid by sorrowing friends on New
Years day. Elsewhere,-outi in the
commons, not in the graveyard,-the
snow lay light and soft, and so it will
henceforth, old year and new, on the
grave of this little mother.

No BLADENsBURe IN OURs-During the absence of J. F. Knapp, the proprietor of the SENTINEL, the Yuma Free Press, from causes and reasons unknown to us, has ventilated it's wrath and invectiye against our absent proprietor, ,and while lhrustia. its gall, seeks To pluck each mote fr"m it's neighbors eyes. The writer of this isonly a temporary one for this paper Tn MT. Knapps absence, and being friendly to both parties, we don't propose to be "Chief Joseph "or "SittinS Bull to champion the one, or combat the ineinua Lions of the other. Suffice to say that ere another issue, the proprietor himself will be home and will Tn all probability con- mence, too, his game of "pluck." For our selves, it matters not whether MT. Knapp is Governor, or whether the Free Press notices him or not, or whether Mir. Knapp threatened he editor of the Free Press with a Colorado bath, nor whether these newspaper Philliplcs @ will lead to "hors de combat" We want no blood ill ours and shall not seek the field of BladeDs- burg. We. us an independent writer, deplore this state of things, and had hoped that, the spirit of journalism of Arizona, and the education and ambition of editors, as " "reformers and moulders of public opinion," had ere now been elevated to a higher standard than this.
 The petit grovelings of local editors neither advance the tone or character of the press, nor are they conducive to pub, lie morals, or interesting to the patrons or readers of either journal.
 Personal difficulties should be settled on the out side, and not be paraded in tht
 columns of any respectable paper.
