Something New and Good.

Col. Durr has again made step for ward as a public benefactOr. It had come to his ears recently, that some of the ladies of Tucson were complaining about the beer sold in this city being bitter. Being on confidential terms with his grandmother, a famous old lady who has spent her life in studying the likes and dislikes of her sex, he wrote her, explaining what was the matter with the ladies of Tucson. The grandmother knew at once the remedy, and straight way sent q carload of the celebrated Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer. This beer arrived yesterday, and has been sampled by the best judges in this city, and pronounced the best family beer in the West. It is just the thing for the ladies, and no bitter taste is car ried with it. The Colonel asks that every family try few bottles of this beer, and feels confident that they will have no other afterwards. The grandmother has never made q mistake about the wants and needs of Tucson, and will answer for the satisfaction given by this new beer with her reputation, which is good.
 The Colonel has been instructed to sell this beer at SIP per bbl. and s220 per dog so that all may share in the luxury and benefits afforded by its use.
