The Party at Ash Fork.

On Thursday evening last dance was given in A. G. Divers new store at Ash Fork for the purposeof raising money to purchase seats for the school house at that place. The attendance was large and the best of order and harmony prevailed. In point of num- bers. general appearar ce and behav- for the assemblage equalled any simi- lar gathering in the states, and we take pleasure in giving the people of Ash Fork and vicinity credit for their ability to manage entertainments and furnish amusement. Messrs. Oliver, Wood and Bachelder and Mesdames Trask and Woodruff were particularly active in their efforts to please, and mu :h of the success of the ball may rightfully attributed to them.
 An elegant lunch, prepared by the ladies for the occasion, was served about midnight, and the sturdy dIsci- pies of Terpsichore, thus strengthened and invigorated, resumed and contin- ued dancing until the wee sma' hours of morning reminded them of the stern demands of daily duty and the necessity of terminating what had been to every one present night of pledsur e.
 Among the visitors from Williams we noticed MT. and Mrs. ]. w. Scott, MT. and Mrs. Fielding. MT. and Mrs. Humphrey, Mrs. Boyce, Miss Bagley, Mir. and Mrs. Walsh, MT. and Mrs. Nellis, and Messrs. Rogers, McDon- aid and Burke.
 Ash Fork was we'll represented. We remember meeting Mesdames Hull, Trask, Woodruff, Murray, Nc Donald, Gibbons, Leyfert, Nedross, and the Misses McGrew, Mcdonald, Coleman and Bishop. Many others were present, but the writer's mate bashfulness prevented his forming the acquaintance of some, and this coup. led with poor memory, accounts for the brief list of ladies with which the CHAMPION is furnished.
 We make no attempt to name the gentlemen present as nearly every one in the town or vicinity who is the happy possessor of a dress coat and standing collar (except Charlie Sangster,) was there, and we believe each and every one enjoyed himself as highly as did the awkward and un- sophisticated

Sheriff Henkle sojourned in town for few days this week, attending to the collection of taxes and other busi- ness connected with his office. Henkle IS true Democrat and has a good many friends among the substantial citizens of this section. He used his influence and done some good for the ticket. He is of the opinion that the Democratic ticket will make clean sweep and carry the day by a handsome majority.
 J. F. Graham, manager of the Hol- brook railroad eating house, is the right man in the right place. The tables at his house are the neatest and most amply supplied of any on the road, and his kind attention to guests has won for him an enviable reputa- tion with the travelling public.

The Mineral Belt Railroad.

The following is from Globe Dem ocrat of the I3th inst, under head of Railway News:
 Construction work on the Mineral Belt railway of Arizona, an important auxiliary to the Atlantic & Pacific railway, has for some time been re- tarded hy the pending negotiations between the A. & P. and the C. P. roads. The negotiations having been arranged between the latter roads work on the Arizona Mineral Belt will be resumed at once with vigor.

The Prescott Journal copies our personal mention of Col. Bean, and prints it as the whole of the item, which would indicate that we endor- sed Bean for congress. Is your actions in this matter journalistic, MT. Jour- nal? It seems to us to be "stealing the livery of the court of heaven to serve the devil in." It is hardly worth mentioning, as Col. Head will beat Bean so outrageously at the cleo. tion that the latter will ride that "loco- motive' down to Copper Basin never to be heard from again politically.

What Our Supervisors Ought to Do.


 Reports come to us from Pima and other counties of the Territory, as we'll as from all the counties of New Mexi- co, that the respective boards of su- pervisors are appropriating liberally funds to aid in furthering the exhibits of the different counties at the worlds fair. As yet, the supervisors of Yav apai county have done nothing. We believe it to be their duty. and feel that the taxpayers of the county will bear us out in the suggestion, to ap- propriate at least SI,5oo to assist in bringing out all the resources of the county for exhibit at the exposition. It is an invaluable opportunity to show to the world just what we. have in mining, agriculture and grazing; one that should not be allowed to pass unimproved. We hope our board of supervisors will act Tn the matter.

 It is in the legislature that jobbery is put up at the expense of the tax payers. We want no man there from this county who is connected with schemes which can be promoted by legislation at the expense of the tax payers. Dr. Ainsworih is stock holder in the Arizona railroad Com. pany, and voted to bond the county for $aoo, 900 to build that road. Do we want him to represent us again? Vote for A. Cornwall, man from, of, and for the people. T The demo- cratic legislative ticket is composed of tax payers direct from the laboring classes, not stock'jobbers and tools of corporations.

The October ElectiOn ms!

The Ohio election was hotly con. tested. All the Ohio representatives in the different departments of the government at Washing ton were sent free of transportation to their homes to vote, the doors of the treasury vaults were opened to the republican party; every means of power that could be brought into requisition by the administration, was brought down upon poor Ohio, and still the repub- lican majority will reach only about 6,oool West Virginia rollsup hand some democratic majority of upwards of 10000.

A correspondent Of the San Francisco
Chronicle, who has been investigating
the sausage, writes as follows from
Bologna: had noticed that there were
few pastures on the plains.of Lombardy,
and reason taught me that with few pas
lures there could be but little beef. As
for sheep and pigs. had seen even fewer
than OF cattle. The questions to be de-
termined was: Where did the sausages
come from9 ! had seen figs pressed into
boxes and grapes crushed ii wine-vats
by the dirty feet Of the peasants; had
seen wine packed into pig-sIxins and rats
skinned for gloves, and ] was prepared
for anything, but must ask my readers
TO permit me to leave Bologna without
saying another word about its sansages.
The details, as the story book says, are
too horrible for mention. can only adj
wise them to eschew the tempting dish,
and il they must have sausages, "a make
them at home. Tho Percy anecdotes re-
late the story ofpa barber who used to
cut his customers throats and drop their
bodies into pit. whence they were con-
veyed next door to the baker, who had
become SO famous for his mutton pies. =
This is q delicate story compared to some
that heard in Bologna. Let the vail or
an impenesrable mystery hang over the
ever-dubious Bologna sausage. Mine
shall not be the rash hand to raise it.
