An Error corrected.

EDITOR EPITAPH: For the information
 of the, excessively witty and censorous gen
 tleman who wields the editorial Faber ol
 the Republican, permit me space to remark
 that the gentleman labored under an error
 when he wrote in hls last evenings edito
 rial notes that only one religious thanks giving service was held in Tombstone on
 Thanksgiving day. There are four denon
 national places of religious worship in this city, anl since three of these are prot
 estant, presided over by three excellent and jealous gentlemen, it follows, from the aforesaid gentlemuns editorial alluslon, that the fourth church, tue Catholic, was not in a mood to offer up anthems of praise on that day. But so far frsm this latter supposition being true, Mr. Editor, or the further one of your reporter having been in error when he wrote thanksgiving services" instead oI "only one service" as your contemporary hath it, the reverse of both propositions happens to have been the case. On that annually observed occa- sion, in the Catholic church of Tombstone was held thanksgiving services at 8 d. m., just as on Sundays; and had the gentle man alluded to in the foregoing but taken as great pains to inform himself of that fact as he appears to have taken III criti- zislng the truth of your reporters state ment he would have spared nc the trouble of thus publicly correcting him.
 l do not, ct course, suppose that any covert disp, ragement to either he Catho- lies of Tombstone or their chYch was intended, but whether such was Sr was not intended, to those unaGquainted with the facts, the Catholic Church and priest of this place was, by said statepaeni, made to appear as wanting in inclin tion to join r 1he p@ans of praise and Songs of thanks oiiere,.. to the omnipo.eM RnlsS of Ma tions throughout the length and br9adth of the nation on it's just passed holiday
 more than this, the pastor of the Catholic church, on the previous Sunday from the altar enjoincd upon his congregation the duty of attending the thanksgiving ser vices which he would hold on last Thurs. day; and in forcible sermon he eloquently and zealously impressed that duty upon them. Catholics on such, or any other oc- casion, arc never wanting in thanks to heaven for the blessings vouchsafed to the of which they happen to be de- voted and dutiful citizens. am sir, truly yours, J. D. POWER.

X Crooked Horse Transscti.u

The three horses supposed to have been stolen, and which are now in Jerseys stable, are still held awaiting ident1ca- tiol. The animals were brought to town about week ago and put in the West End corral by young man named Ford, who claims to have a stock range in the Huachucas. Not being able to dispose of them at that corral, proposition was made to Jersey that if he would pay the charges, amounting to $1050, the animals would be put in his stable. The arrange ment WIS made, and Eugene Wo odbury, who had attended to all the busaess, of- fcred to sell one of the horses, worth fully $150, to Jersey forSS0 As Jersey was in the act of paying over the money, a young man named Peter Martin made his ap- pearancc ana claimed that the animals be- longed to him, and said they had been stolen froM him some time previous. Woodbury explained to Jersey that Ford, the original claimant, was lying ill of ma laral fever and that Martin was his part ncr who was trying to dciraud him. Jcr- sey not liking the looks of the transaction concluded not to purchase, and Martin took his departure. Ford and Martin be- coming frightened left town Wednesday morning and at present their whereabouts are not known. The affair is evidently a crooked transaction and thorougl, exam. inasion will probably end in the arrest of the guilty parties, who can not be far away.

Proposed Changes.

Elections being over, the Philadelphia Item is overhauling the playing rules of base ball. Among other changes it sug- gests a livelier ball. After watching Mast pitch, we can't really understand the ne cessity for any improvement in that di, rection. The chances are the Item man never caught "hy" on his upper lip, or rot doubled up by "foul' on his bread basket. Another change suggested is that the game be one of II innings, so that pat. rons may get their moneys worth. This, in our humble opinion, would not be a change fo; the better. Rather reduce the game 10 seven innings and let the pub lie in for 9 cents head. Besides the other club would not be so far behind, as our recent experience show they some times get in nine innings.

Collision at Sea.

BosToN, Dec. IA Halifax spe- cial states that the schooner Parole was sunk yesterday off Canis by the steamer Lydesdale. The crew were saved and landed at North Sidney by the Lydesdale. The Parole had picked up mates boat with twelve persons saoard from the steamer Cedar Grove. The fRste of the lost steamer says: "I was on the deck of the Cedar Grove with a lady -in-one arm and holding on with the other, ,when a sea washed the lady from my grasp" The mate says he and the captain were standing on the starboard side of the chart room when the captain sent him forward to drop anchor, when the bow of the steamer went down with him and the lady. When he rose, he got in boat with some of the crew, but nothing was seen of the captain or the lady, and he thinks they were lost, as there was little or nothing floating which they might cling to.
 CAMS, Dec. l.-The total number saved from the wrecked steamer, Ce- dar Grove, is 26, leaving five, Capt. Fritz, Miss Fearrell, second and third engineers and an unknown, still missing. Wreckers were very busy yesterday and great many small packages were picked up.

Terrible Storm Predicted.

WAsHI~' n'N, Dec. 1.-The pres ident Las looclved the following communication from Professor E, Stone Wiggins, IL. D., astronomer of the Canadian finance department, under date of September last: "I announced through the Canadian press that great storm would occur in March next and first be fit in .he Northern Pacific and would appear in the Gulf of Mexico on the night of the Eth and being deAected by the Rocky mountains would be at this meridian from the west at noon, Sunday, March II, 1883. No vessel of whatever dimensions will be safe out of harbor and none of small ton- mage can survive the tidal wave and fury of the tempest, as the wind will blow from the southeast. The plane tary force will be sufficient to sub. merge the lowlands on the American coast, of the east especially, those bordering on the Gulf of Mexico and washed by the gulf stream, while the air currents for several hundred miles along the east side of the Rocky mountain range, owing to the great atmospheric pressure in those regions, will spread universal de- struction. New England states will also suffer severely from winds and floods. No point outside the harbors in the whole area of the Atlantic, es- pecially north of the equator, will be place of safety, for this will be pre- eminently the greatest storm that has ever visited the continent.

TOMBSTONE VS. TUCSON.

 Which Makes the TOmI ytOners


 Doling's park was thronged Thursday with the lovers of baseball, and the en- joyment of the various sports presented never Jagged. Much talk had been oc- casioned by the friend, of the respective hines, and large amounts were wagered on the result of the game, but owing to the Tucson nine having Mast, professional ball-tesser and one of the most expert pitchers in the country, with them, the umpire very properly declared all bets off. From the commencement of the game it was seen tEat the Tombstone nine would be defeated. At the end of the fifth in ming the home club WAS eleven runs be- hind but owing to poor fielding and wild throwing on the part of the visiting nine, reduced it to seven in tn. sixth inning, From that time to the end of the game the Tucson boys had it all their own way, the score at the finish being as follows:

 The message is a column less in newspaper space than the last. South American troubles are treated in a succinct review of what has been done by this government in the direction of the amicable ajustment of pending difficulties between belligerents. Touching the tariff, the President renews his recom- mendatioH of last year-that existing laws need revision. He congratu- lates congress upon the passage of the law for suppression of polygamy; there remains obstacles to be over- come which the President hopes may disappear without occasion for more stringent legislation. He recon mands the continuance of the com mission until it shall have been demonstrated that there is no longer a practical necessity for it.
