c. F. Haight, of Westfeld, Chautauqua county, N. Y., writes May 2, 1885: "Six years ago I was dying of dyspepsia. My stomach and digestive organs were in hor- rible state. I feared consumption of the bowels, which were dreadfully constipated. I was bed-ridden for many months; finally bought six boxes Brandreths Pills. When I had finished taking them I was well man. Took five the first night; ran down to one pill, then up again to five, alternately"

A DISPATCH from San Francisco of the 16th instant says Secretary Street of the Immigration Associa- tion reports the arrival of immi- grants for that week to be the un- precedented total of 4,0S0 persons. This figure does not include those who have come to Southern Califor- nia by the Atlantic & Pacific and the Southern routes. These will, he says, certainly amount to 1000 more, thus swelling the total to over 5000 new people in the state. To be added to those which have been classed as immigrants is a large proportion of the first-class traffic. Nearly HOO frst-class passengers are reported. The signifcation of this enormous influx of 5000 peo- pie into the state can only be too obviously interpreted. A greatnum- Der are here for the purpose of view ing and inquiring into the resources of the coast, and many will return East before finally coming here for permanent residence. Much infor- nation is obtained by this class of people at the immigration office. Nearly every county in the State is receiving its due proportion of this new accretion to the coast popula- ton, no one locality seeming to be favored above another.

A sPEBIAL to the Albuquerque Democrat of the 21st instant from Watrous, New Mexico, says: A ter rible rain and wind storm has been raging here for the past thirty hours doing untold damage throughout this portion of the territory, both east and west. Last evening the river overfowed and has already carried away three bridges on the Santa Fe railroad, and washed out over mile of track. Sixty or seventy telegraph poles have been carried away, and it will be several days before communication can be restored to the east. A great deal of stock has been drowned, and in some places the low lands are turn ed into huge lakes. As yet no es- innate of the damage done can be given. It is undoubtedly one of the worst storms that has ever vis- ited this portion of the country. The water is now receding.

south side of the San Juan river. This land takes in a scope of coun- try about fifteen miles long and something like a mile and half wide. The land has been claimed and occupied by the Indians for years, but some time ago the Gov ernment cut it loose from the Nav ajo reservation, and opened 1t for settlement by the whites. A great deal of the same was at once occu- pied by the American and Mexican people, and the proper papers were at once filed to prove the good in- tentions of the settlers. This open ed war of words between these men and the Indians, and up to this time 1t has been growing until 1t now looks as if there was a direct rupture in sight. The land is To- cated just beyond the town of Farmlngton and the Indians have threatened to make a raid into that region unless the land is vacated. Citizens of Pennington and vicin- ity telegraphed the state of affairs to Gov Ross on Saturday, and the Governor immediately wired Col. Marmon. of the Second New Mex leo militia, to proceed to Farming ton and render the citizens protcc- tion while at the same time taking steps to convince the Indians that they are in the wrong. Col. Mar mon and a squad of Laguna mili- tia left for the scene yesterday.

A LAS VEGAS dispatch of the Dist instant to the Albuquerque Demo- crat gives the following account of flood at that place. Last even- ing, about nine o'clock, the citizens of Las Vegas were startled by the rapid rising of the Gallinas river It was soon learned that the dam, two miles above the hot springs had given way and the water came rushing down in every direction, inundating and washing away everything in it's course. By the time it reached the city. the river was half a mile wide in many places and carried with it debris of all kinds, portions of houses, barns, and outhouses. Gradually rising 1t was soon over the street and up on a level with the post office build ing. The floor of the post office was soon under water and prepara- tions commenced for removal, which was done during the night. This morning the building is com pletely undermined and the north east corner has fallen down. The grocery store next door, is under water, which reaches up on a level with Martins saloon. The tank house of the Centennial Oil Com pany, together with the stables on the banks of the river, have been washed away, while the Santa Fe track between the hot springs and this city is washed away and under water Tn many places no train having passed over it since yester- day afternoon; the river in many places being fully mile wide. A large barn back of the Western Union Telegraph Office was carried down the river. The damage in new town was very slight. Further down the extent of the damage is as yet unknown. In Mora canon, east of Watrous, great damage has been done, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe track being washed out for over mile, and telegraph wires all down. Though the water is now receding the probabilities are there will be no communication with the East for two or three days. It has been raining heavily for the past twenty-four hours, but has now ceased and the indications are we will have clear weather.

those organized conspirators whose union was kept intact by the ''co- hesive power of public plunder."

THE Tucson Star says 1t IS ru- mored that north and south rail road from the Atlantic & Pacific via Prescott, Phoenix, Florence and Tucson to the New Mexico & Ari- zona railroad, is the great railroad project which is stirring railroad circles, and that all of those short pieces of railroads, such as the Calabasas to Tucson, and from Tucson to Globe and Phoenix, and from Flagstaff to Prescott, are but one system and the same road and that Jim Fair is the fellow who is running the game. One fact is certain, and that is there cannot be fNund better paying railroad pro- position in the United States than a north 5rs44d south railroad down from Utah through Arizona to the Gulf of California, and this line will be built soon.

THE list of fraudulent warrants which are submitted to our readers in this issue of the HERALD, aggre- gate the large sum of $3,159.50. The Board of Supervisors have ex- hausted every available resource in ferreting out the frauds upon the people, and the discoveries as shown are the results of laborious and un- Tagging investigation, covering a period extending from the time of their installation in office. Such a saving to the tax-burdened people of the county is certainly "a con- summation most devoutly to be wished" and as an accomplished fact, will be duly appreciated and
 fittingly acknowledged by the masses of honest citizens to whom it affords relief. The identification
 of these frauds and forgeries will prove, of invaluable assistance in

The "trust" is 100000 acres of land in New Mexico and Arizona. Another deed to the same parties, consider alton $140,00O, embraces 2S0,000 acres of land in Arizona.

THE Prescott Journal-Miner says when T. s. Bullock was here a few months ago he entered into nego- tiations with F. G.

Parker received a letter from him modifying the con- tract somewhat, which he refused to accept, but telegraphed his best terms. This forenoon he received a telegram stating that his terms had been accepted, that the con- tract had been forwarded by mail, and 2S,000 ties were wanted by June 10.

ACCORDING to a dispatch dated the 23d instant, Edmund G. Ross was confirmed as Governor of New Mexico, in spite of the persistent efforts of the Santa Fe ring to pre- vent it.

To- day the order was issued by the Secretary of the Interior that the same road must show cause why the indemnity land in New Mexico, Arizona and California shall not also be forfeited. The lands refer red to were withdrawn from settle ment in 1872 and 1874. The writs are returnable May IA. This will open up hundreds of thousands of acres to settlement that have for more than a dozen years been with held.

 MIR. GLADSTONE presented his land purchase bill to the House of Commons on the evening of the 18th. The bill is intended to go into effect at the same time the home rule bill becomes operative.
 The purchases are to be made through the issue of 91SO,OOO,O0O of three per cent consols. The state authorities acting between the peasant and landowner, would pur- chase the land from the latter, and put the peasant in possession as absolute owner, an annual rent be- ing paid which is to be charged to the payments of the purchase money. Applications to sell must be made by all the tenants on an estate, giving to the Land Commis- sioner power to refuse applications, The bill itself is said to have met with general acceptance, but the statement of its provisions by the Premier was lacking in complete ness and perspicuity, and failed to elicit enthusiasm even among the Parnellites.

For eight miles the entire track is gone, and the line is in bad fix for over twenty miles. The bridges alone that were washed out in Mora cafion, will cost the company $90,OOO to replace.

The El Paso Dispatch says much bad feeling has been occasioned in Southern New Mexico by the re- cent wholesale indictments for land frauds by the Federal Grand Jury, which met at Las Cruces, the coun- ty seat of Dona Ana county. h. fuential citizens living all over the county are named, and others con stituting the Southern Federal Ju- dicial District have been indicted, and reports reaching here show that witnesses are being threatened, and 1t is believed trouble will occur be- fore the next term of the Federal Court. A popular method of rob- ping the public domain has been by creating fictitious notaries pub lie. The seals of these false off cials have in some instances been secured, and the testimony shows that they dId an extensive business ill signing documents pertaining to land matters. The difficulty in se- curing juries and witnesses that will act faithfully may cause the eases to be tried in some other than the Southern district.
