No rain, nor any indication of rain. The HERALD suggests that the citizens of this county, irrespective of calling or occupation, get together and raise a purse sufficient to induce Melbourne to visit this county, and give US five or six good rains during the months of May and June next. They can well afford to invest $10,OOO or $12, ,000 in such an un- dertaking. If he has the confidence which he professes to have in his powers and in the efficacy of his rain-making apparatus, he would surely be willing to make conditional contract; that is, to give us an agreed number of good rains during these two months. He could we'll afford to make liberal terms with us, from the fact that if successful it would establish, almost beyond doubt, that he could produce down-pour at will, and could then open negotiations for the sale of his modus operandi to the government. with some degree of con- tidence that his proposition would re- ceive attention and consideration.

Stockman Barnes, of Holbrook, re. gently brought POO head of COWS down from his ranch in Williamson valley and put them on pasture near Tempe, to fat ten for beef. MT. Barnes says that if he makes success of fattening his noun tain raised cows on alfalfa, he has 1000 head that he will bring down at once. He thinks COWS are not profitable as range cattle after they are seven or eight years old, and if he finds that he can make beef of them with profit, he will clear his range of them every year, Phoenix Gazette.

Mrs. Col. Hunt and daughters arrived in St. Johns from Prescott about ten days ago. Her oldest daughter has the public school at Tueces. The youngest was indisposed when the family started from Prescott to this place, and is, at this writing quite low, with all the symp- toms of typhoid fever. Her relatives and friends are fearful that she is not strong enough to wear the disease out. In the absence of physician, every thing that can is being done for her com fort and restoration to health, and we most earnestly hope their efforts may be crowned with success.

A few weeks ago q committee of rail- road men called at this office looking up the record in regard to J. H. Tallis, a railroad man, last year in charge of the yards at Winslow. They stated that he h"d skipped out after securing several hundred dollars from railroad men on the Atlantic and Pacific. The fellow had vIctimIzed this office to the extent of $50. The day he went east he came to the office and stated that he had just received telegram that his father was dying in Indiana, and that he did not have time to see the railroad officials to secure funds due him, and the publisher of The Citizen endorsed for hi m to the extent of $50 at the Albuquerque Ma tional bank, which was paid when it be- came due and the note is now at this of flee. MT. Tallls has written to 8 paper at Las Vegas, and that sheet tries to de- fend the slick rascal. Tallis is now at Como, Colorado, and the railroad men of this Territory and Arizona should let his character be known in that locality.- Albuquerque Citizen.
 Tallis sought the nomination for As semblymsn at the Democratic conven- tion in this county. last year, and came near defeating an old citizen, large tax payer and an honorable man.

The "Alta,' like many other pioneers of'40, has succumbed to the inevitable and gone to t.c great majority, and like other pioneers, has been succeeded by younger generations.
