We have had several dances late

residence of 7. b. Powell, one on
the Upper Penasco at Capt. ALI
Hunters, and two over here on the
Aqua Chiquita at the respective
dwellings of Messrs. McMains and
Sargents. All were pleasant affairs,
well attended and heartily enjoyed
by the numerous votaries of the
Terpsichoric art.

HIS M EAT.

A most brutal murdcr was com
mitted at Lake Valley on the night
of the 18th itstant. After long
absence two old friends, Thomas
Grady and John Carney, met in a
saloon on the night in question, and
shortly some difficulty arose between
them, Grady assaulting Carney and
badly furnishing him. After this
while Carney was conversing with
some friends, Grady shot at him, the
ball passing through his hat. I'm
mediately after this Grady invited
Carney to take drink, and saying
to Carney that he had notion to
kill him, and asked him if he hadn't
just as soon die as not. Carney re-
piled that he might as well die at
once as to be thusly maltreated,
whereupon Grady kept his threat,
putting ball through his head. The
murderer escaped;-Chloride Black
Range.

Capt. Wilkerson and Geo. Bunt-

into the western part of the territory

state that the press in no manner
exaggerates the atrocities and depre-

them, and that both life and proper
ty are there too insecure to render it
a desirable place of residence. They
will remain on the Aqua Chiquita.

NEW LAND OFFICE RULE.

U. LAND OFFICE. Las Cruces, N. M
December 2Sth, 1851
TO the Public:
There seems to be prevailing opin-
ion in this district that final proofs
can be made upon the date set forth
in the notice of publication for final
proof, and papers sent to this Office
to await the convenience of the ap-
plicant for payment. The practice
that has thus grown up under this
opinion occasions endless trouble
and greatly retards the records of
this office. Therefore l. wish to state
for the benefit of all persons apply
ing for public lands that the practice
is irregular and must be discon-
tinued. There is no authority for re-
ceiving proofs in advance in allow
ing Or rejecting an entry, and | have
no authority for acting upon entry
applications until the party is pre-
pared to consummate entry by max
ing proof and payment. In other
words, proof and payment must be
made at the same time. Proofs pre-
sented without tender of payment
will be rejected. All payments
made to this office, either for fees or
for lands, must be cash. Checks,
drafts and postoflice orders will not
be received.
When application for notice for
publication for final proof is made
to this office, 1t must be accompanied
either by the cash or the publishers
receipt. Guarantees of attorneys Or,
agents will not be accepted.
All relinqWshments of entries
must be acknowledged before the
clerk of IA court or notary public,
and without this acknowledgements
they are of no force or effect. Very
respectfully,
EDMUND G. SHIELDS, Register.

EDITOR Era Merry Christmas?
Your correspondent has been fur
nishcd with a partial list of names
procured by r. NJ. Gilbert to petit
tons mentioned in his correspond
ent's) last letter and published by
you. The writer has no desire, and
will carefully avoid doing injustice
to any person. His letter repre-
sented that said petition was signed
principally by persons of Denman's
stamp. The list bears the names of
some of our best citizens, especially
i'll the vicinity of Seven Rivers. Yet
close investigation reveals the fact
that some of these names are thereon
without authority, and many others
declare they signed without careful
examination of the document, and,
by trusting to misrepresentation of
Gilbert, were deluded. Several
await the first sight of the petition
to erase their names, and others have
signed a contemplation stating
theses facts and withdrawing their
endorsement of Denman and his ilk.
In justice to several of our most
respected citizens, please publish
the above. SlETA RIOS.

On Monday evening, under the supervision
OF Mr. 5. b. Paine, New England agent of
the Edison Electric Light Company, the
ilrst trial of the system was made in Mont
pener, and 1t was an entirely successful one.
WIN ninety pounds pressure (nearly seventy
pounds less than the possible amount) the
lghts were shown at their best and the en-
tire practicability of their use so far as
tnat matter is concerned, was satisfactorily
proven. Its absolute safety to persons and
property was shown by tests to all who
cared to investigate these matters. The
Edlson incandescent light is the most widely
used of any, though the date of its introduce
ton Tor street lighting is comparatively re-
cent. 1t is shown that while the arc light
costs considerably more than gas on the
average, the incandescent can be furnished
for less. Mr.. Paine insists that the streets
OF Montpelier can be lighted with the power
which is now allowed to go to waste for
much less than the amount which the vii
lage annually pays for gas, and it goes with
out saying the light would be far more
satisfactory. The matter should be thor
oughly investigated by our people while
there is opportunity, and If the advantage of
the Edison light Is shown to be pecuniary
one, it should be adopted at an early day.
