a DEATHBED CONFESSION OF a HoRRI-
BILE CRIME.-The Hartford (ky.) Herald of
Friday furnishes the following:
An outrage, too horrible almost to call to mind,
happened near Caneyville. January 2s, 1881, by
which Wiley Embry and six children were burned
to death. We have Just learned that deathbed
confession has brought out the perpetrators. DR..
Jas. n. Brandon. Of Caneyville, on his deathbed
confessed that he and John Whittinghill and Bill
Taylor Whittinghill, sons OF Remus Whittinghill,
did the deed. Brandon said that they took a syr-
inge and threw chlorofOrm through the keyhOlei
into the different rooms and waited TIL it caused
deep sleep. Then they went in and robbed the
house, getting 81, 600 in money. They then set tn,
house on IRE in several places and ran of. Mrs
Embry and three children escaped from the 1re
and Embry and six children. including three sons
almost grown, perished in the flames. The par
ties have been suspected for some time. Bill T

Up on attempting to enforce his orders, the wife came upon the scene and gathered him by the slack of his pants, lad him across her knee and spanked him till his nose bled. Then he went to the Justice and told the story of his wrongs. When he went home she spanked him again, and the lfe-blOod once more dripped from his probOscis. This cowed his in- teltions regarding the man servant and
 maid servant for while, but last night they again found expressIon, when his wife spanked him for third time and thrust him out into the street.

\ Chinese NeMspaper.

San Francisco has a Chinese news paper. It is called the Hong Two ChOng Soy Tong, or the Record of Noted Events. One night about the l6th ult. the police were qUeling q riot of the highbinders in Chinatown, when "re- porter" of the Hong Two ChOng Sow Tong, intervened rather pertinaciOusly and the police sent him off on hls ear. His report in the Chinese journal the
 next morning read as follows; showing
 that John as an editor IS no sardine, and would be a worthy antagonist in
 any editorial skIrmIsh:
 "Last night some Chinese gentlemen of spirit, having high time on Bartlett alley, were interfered by those blear eyed barbarians, called policemen.

 A furious wind and hail storm passed over Riverside on Sunday afternoon two week ago, and did considerable damage. It lifted the roof off the Plnal Copper Company's smelter, blew down the smoke stack and uuroofed the lodg- ing house. Torrents of water came down with the hail, and for an hour or so the valley resembled an inland sea The storm was only few miles in width, but poured down sufficient water to raise the Gila nearly one foot. The storm continued it's course over the Pi. nal range, blowing over and tearing up by the roots considerable number of the larger-sized trees, and the rain fall was sufficient to send down in a very short time roaring volume of water through Globe, which, however, subsid- ed next day. The rainfall ia Globe was light.

Governor Tritle.

This gentleman left Prescott about 2 days since, and has accomplished more for Arizona than Grant Oury, our Dele gate, during his whole term. He has secured for the Territory 300 stand of arms, of which 100 come to Prescott, and 90 go to Mohave county. He has con- ferred with the proper authorities, and an order has been made directing the San Carlos Indian Agent to report the condition of all Indians every 20 days to the Military Commander of this Depart. ment. He has secured the right of way to build bridge over the Gila on land belonging to an Indian Reservation. He has secured an order withdrawing, as an experiment, Indian scouts for a term of six months. He has had a war talk about our reservation Indians being al- lowed to carry arms, and plan is to be fixed upon for the disarming of San Carlos Indians, and also the Navsjoes. He has had long talk with the Presi- dent and Cabinet officials; all of whom, he writes, are much interested in Ariz- ona.
 Why is it that We have not heard from Mir. Oury on any these important matters?-Prescott Miner.

But all made the best of it, and the disappointed ones bore themselves bravely.

Attention. Horse KnversI

Mir. H. c. Hooker. of the Sierra Bonita ranch, in Cochise County, has long been recognized as the foremost breeder of blooded stock in Arizona. Having now large herd of fine bred horses to dIs- pose of, all of them gentle and many of them broken to both saddle and har- ness, he will, from the 9th to the 10th instant, inclusive, round up his entire stock, thus giving those who desire to purchase an opportunity to see and se- lect from his whole stock. Such an Op- pOrtunity never before was offered, and those wishing to purchase or in need of good horses will do well to take advan- tage of it. The horses are serviceable either for carriage, saddle or draft work. For the two former they are une1celled. as a portion of them have been bred with that particular end ID view.
