WE are indebted to Messrs Root & Tinker, Tribune building, New York, for 25-cent, five for $1, crayon portrait of J. G. Patterson of Hartford, Conn. We are also indebted to them for long letter accompanying the portrait, asking us to acknowledge its receipt. We quote from the letter as follows: MT James G. Patterson, well known in your state for his many achievements, notably the building of the state capitol at Hart ford"
 Mir Ratterson's achievements are not to be compared with the achievements of crayon portrait publishers who. sue ceed in getting every editor in the coun- try to give them a puff in exchange for 20-cent crayon portrait.
 We are constantly annoyed by the receipt ot pictures, magazines, pam phlets, etc., etc., from persons who want 8 free advertisement in exchange for such articles.
 We presume other editors are like wise annoyed, and we cheerfully contri- bute this space, hoping that these re- marks will be 0 hint to the senders of such pictures, etc., and also have ten dency to check the annoyance.

THREATENED OUTBREAK,

William Beard, who returned on Thursday from Camp Apache, reports that the Chiricahna Indians had a dance on last Saturday night at their camp on Turkey creek, IA miles from Apache, at which time Cayetano, one of the head war chiefs tried to incite the Indians to go on the war path. A government scout brought the in formation to Lieut.. West, who was in the vicinity, and he with two scouts started immediately for Camp Apache and returned next morning with two companies of cavalry. The chief who instigated tie trouble was arrested and taken to Apache, on Sunday eve- ming, and put in irons. The affair created uch,uneasincSs among citi- zens in that neigbborhood, and num- Der of persons who were about to start for lWingate, fearing an out break, deferred their departure. The quick and determined action of Lieut.. West had a salutary effect and the In. dians had at last accounts apparently quieted down, but those best in formed say that an outbreak at any time i3 not improba blc.

Thomas Buchanan had an exciting adventure recently. at Pinal ranch, with brown bear that had for some time been stealing his hogs, and whose incursions he wished to put stop tC. Upon approaching bruin he found the beast by no mcans opposed to a fight; bringing his Winchester to bear (no pun intended) Tom opened the hostili ties, but his aim did not prove deadly and the bear, enraged by the wound, charged in double quick time, where upon, Tom, with q bound, sought the protection of a friendly tree, which grew on the brink of an arroyo hard by. In his hurry, however,, to escape from his burly enemy he missed hl$ hold on the tree and tumbled heels over head to the bottom of the friend ly cleft, fortunately without sustain. ing serious injury. This ended the combat, Tom regarding his escape from death as miraculous and the bear evidently being satisfied with the discontinue of his foe.

MINERAL BELT RAILROAD.

The following is an extract of a let ter, dated Boston, June 18th, .from'J |. w. Eddy to Thomas Lonergan.
 "As to railroad matters, 1 must say briefly, that after all my waiting and vexatious delays, we were ready to close matters up and cry Eureka on Thursday, May 18th, the day of the annual meeting of the A. & P. R. R. Everything agreed on, to be closed and ratified as soon as the officers were re- elected; but on that very day, or the day previous rather, the palic struck Wall street, and we have been hung mp ever since. must say it looked blue, and when I went up to see Col. Mutt this $. m., I was prepared to hear him say, Well, Colonel, you may as well hang the Mineral Belt up, and go home, bat no, he assured me that the outlook for an immediate and fa- vorable termination of their long and vcXatiouS negotiations with the South ern Pacific never looked better than to-day, and that if l can hold out a little longer, l will be made happy. You see subcommittee of the execu- tive committee of the A. & F., consis- ting of the presidents of the three roadsx-the A. & F.. the St. Louis and San Francisco and the A. T. & s. F. had been instructed to buy the mate. rial for us, including rails, fastenings, ties, etc, and deliver same at the juno tion, and they were only waiting for their reelection when the panic struck. Better than that we had man with $l0.oO0,000 who stood ready, as soon as the railroads took that step, to con- tract for entire block of bonds, from the A. & P. to Globe, so We could push road through to Globe with all possi- ble despatch. Can you realize fully the situation? Wait yet little while, and get along as best you can, and I be- lieve all will be well; and I base that belief upon the statement of Colonel Mutt, and the fact that matters in New York are looking much better to-day.
