The following is a special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune:
 ELGIx, H.. May 4-The news has inst been received bere that John G. Good man, formerly resident Of this city. Is a victim of the Apache rising m Arizona He was eng Eed iu the wItchmakinp trade in this place for a. dozen years, anC afte ward started a jevelry store at St Charles. this county. 4 year ago D, went West to better his prospects,. buI the venture has cost him his fife Good man was married ere, and Is wife and three childten are left destitute
 Mir. John G. Goodman, the subject oi the above telegram, when he banded the newspaper containing it to a member of the CITIZEN corps, asked, as a personal favor tha' a pin be stuck into him a few times to determine whether or not the statement was true. His wish was complied with and if a corpse aged three weeks, can iump SIX feet high and yell boody murder, then perhaps Mr. Goodman is really dead. His sworn affidavit of the date and circumstances Of his death is necessary, however, to inspire a belief that he is really a cold corpus playing 'possum. Seriously, Mir John G. Good man is at present enjoying the best Of Arizona health, and manIpulates the dainty and intricate mechanism at the bench in Messrs. $ H Lucas 6 Co.'S mammoth jewelry store in Tucson.

Sonora Mails.

By agreement made but year a-o
 between the Republics of Mexico and
 the United States, the mails passing tc
 and from each country, were to be put
 in sacks tied, sealed and subject to the
 inspection of no one between the two
 designated cities of Magdalena on tbe
 one side and Tucson on the other, as
 was stated in the CITIZEN of Tuesday
 last. That the terms of the contract have been violated by the epostai author ities on this side Of the line remains et
 to be proven or is, to say the most, an ] open question, a something which can not be said of our neighbora over the
 vay, who not only fan t0 seal their sacks but have on several occasions con. tided important mail matter to the care Of irresponsible persons traveling
 this way. Such a package was re. ceived at the Tucson office th,s morn ing. how 1t was brought or by
 whom It k not known. It was from
 Mazda 'ena and contained sixty-six let
 ters, four of which were registered and
 one of those was accompanied by no
 acknowledgment, the other three
 were. One was directed to Franclsco Fs-
 pejo and bore the registry stamp of
 June 9th, the date Of its receival at the Magdalena office; a second addressed to
 W. B oth had been registered at Sahua-
 ripa on the 18th of last May, acknow- ledged Tn Magdaleua on June 9th: the third registered in Guay mas on June 4th was receipted for ID Magdalena on the sixth and toy an unknown and ire sponsihle party delivered in Tucson on the 22d The registered letter for which there was no accompanying receipt also bore the NJ gdalena stamp of June 9th. O. unre yisterei letters there were sixty two. The Wtole Cf them had been tied together with a piece of common twIne, wrapped iu an old D wspaper aud sent Co Tucson by au irresponsible carrier. The unregistered letters were properly stamped but bJ-e no late. one however, being directed to Nr D. Neiacso. the date of 1t was ascertalned to be the 7Jh; what the others were is not known. Some undoubtedly were of much earli date, for if the registered letters from Sahuaripa had been thirty three days on the way 1t Is hardly probable that many of the others would ! fare better. The de / ia theIr delivery . cannot toe, as other delays have been. 1 attributed to the c.relessuess of the l postal authorities on this side of the line ! inasmuch as the lc-te.e were never iu- ' side of a United States mail puuch, and . the plea put forward that the post master at Dagdelena had in order to 1 facilitate their delivery, forwarded them by private conveyance is most gioundless as they were received here elve days out from Magdelana, and the man bring ing them must have come by OK cart or on foot as the regular sage has made SIX trips in the meantime. and must have passed tue mall on the road not less than twelve times. IT tLe proper au- -hoities will investigate the subject as as 1t deserves and remove the ignorant or to say the least, in- official at MagieleDa, much Df the trouble and anuoyauces now com pIained of would be avoided and the mails delivered regularly according to contract.

Public School at Tubac.

The public school at Tuhac, School | District No. 4, closed it's third session on Saturday. the 10th inst. by public ex- animation. The exercises were con- ducted by the worthy teacher, David B. Con they, and the proficiency exhibited by the different pupils, all Of whom were O! Mexican percentage, was really surpris- ing; Nearly three-fourths of the scholars did not know the first letter of the alphabet when the session opened on March llth, and yet Mr. Courtney had the school about equally divided in three classes using the first sec oni and third reader respectively. In the other branches, the scholars also demonstrated their proficiency. The exhibition Was not only very satisfactory to the trustees and friends of the pu- pills, but the efficiency to which the scholars had been brought by the in- deiatigable exertion of Mr. C., was a great and pleasant surprise to them. The scholars very much regretted the closing of the school and look forward to its reopening on September lst, with pleasure. MT. Courtney not only showed himselfto be the most proficient teacher they ever had, but by his patient and untiring exertions with the scholars and gentlemaDly conduct throughout, eudeared himself to all As Mir. Court ney leaves the district for higher fields of labor, he does so with the regrets of the inhabitants and they trust that Judge Wood may be successful in securing as good teacher for the district in the future. The number of pupils attending this session was thirty six and an increase of at least fifty per cent. is expected next session.

The very verdant proprietor of the
 morning paper was, on his recent
 visit to Bowie station, made the victim
 of delusive joke, which. for want of
 better knowledge, he accepted in good
 faith and wrote long dissertation on
 what he regarded as marvellous. The
 water question was then being thor Oughly discussed, not only as to depth of wells and quantity of water, but also regarding the alkaline properties which, to the detriment of the town, the water was said to Dlssess. Upon the arrival of said proprietor the good citizens at once saw the way out of their dilema by proving to him that the water at the bottom of the eighty foot well was not only fresh, pure and good, but that the trees growing Oil the barren ground above yearned for its sweets, ana that for the depth of eighty or more feet they sent down thelr thirsting roots undemOcratic-like 70 drink. In proof or thlS a number fresh roots were cast iu the well, the gentleman then sought and in the presence of himself and others they the roots, were again by means of the well bucket, brought to liglt and were regarded by all with evident wonder and delight, said gentle. man being among the most amazed, for were not the roots prima facie evidence that the water was fresh and good other wise the trees on top would not bore down eighty feet for #! On his return home the wonder was written up, published and marvelled on by millions. The gentleman who threw the root in the well was then a resident of Bowie, but is now living in Tucson. Hence the escape of the secret.
