 tiOns Suddenly.

Charles Etchells is making some ss- pairs in his wagon shop at the isot of Congress street. Among other things he is rehabili,sting the entrance door. This building recalls many instances Of early history conn scted with Tuess.. The building has been used e . black. smith shop since 1856. The sdsbs wslls were built in 1868 by John Burs who died in the hospital in 1sS6. He constructed i~ge door, 12Il4 feet. The explosion of Zeckendorf's powder magazine in the spring of 1881 and the earthquake shock of 1883, had the effect Of shsking the walls pretty badly. Since then the acton of time and weather have rendered remodel. ing necessary, and Mr. Etohells is making tie needed repsirs.

HIS PRAYER ANSWERED.
And the Goat was Restored to
 Him Unharmed.

A gentlemen by the name of Neville who has . small band of goats hsrding in the vicinity of Watervsle, had the misfortune one day last week to see one of his pets fall down an old well on the old race course just we-s of town. He at ence went to the well with the intention of helping the un fortunate animal to the surface, not thinking but what it was small hole in the ground from which his mamie could easily be lifted out, but jus, i'm .gine his surprise whan he looked down into the well and at e depth which appeared to him to be half way to China, he could see his beloved goat, Qor like the lamb that was lost in the desert, this goat was of more value to him just now than all the rest of his herd)snd heard its plain tive blest. This was on Wednesday evening and too late for him to do any thing that night, so he came home and according to his own words" prayed all night tha. the Lord would show him 8 way by which his property could be restored to him. Thursday morning he came to the PRosPEcToR office and reported what had happe ed stating that he was going down to do what he could to save his goat and that if he did not again report to this office " the middle of the afternoon we might know he was down in tn, well and 10 send some one down to rescue him. We waited patiently until the appointed time and no Neville appeared and SO we went out to see ii We could get some one to so 10 the rescue. Jack Wixtrom was found and went down to recGnoitre and sure sure enough there was the man Neville with his goat at the bottom Of the we'll which was ll0 feet deep. He could not get out, but appeared perfectly blissful because his goat was appsr- ently safe and we'll. Jack had % come back to town and get assistance and more rope iu order to get him out of trouble.
 Securing the assistance of Charley Weiser and getting a supply of rope. they went back and after considerable msneuvering, managed to hoist Mir. Neville and his goat out of the dark ness of Egypt to the light of day. and strange as 1t may seem the goat after falling l10 feet and remaining for 36 hours was unhurt and as soon as it was brought up and turned loose with the rest Of the herd, il went 10 eating grsss as If nothing had happened. NIT. Neville was greatly rejoiced and told Messrs. Weiser and Wixtrom that the Lord had answered his prayer and had deliveved his goat safe and sound back to him.

On Friday last there was a grand Democratic rsly an1 ratification meeting st Phoenix at whica there was . great gathering of the people of tue Salt river country. who were addressed by many able speakers, but the central figure of the day and most eage4ly lisse ned to speaker was the Hon. Marcus A Smith, whose hold upon the affections ot the people of Arizona is strong and enduring for he has repre- ssnted them in Congress four con- sscutive terms, and is now the leader in she race for the fall election, which takes place on tie 3rd oi November next.
 MT. Smith made c great speech, 6 strung plea for the liberation of the people of this country, from the shrsldom and bondage of slavery placed upon them by the lawmakers ei this country through the influence brought to bear by the banking inter este of this country and England conn bined, by the opening Of our hints to the free and unlimited coinage of sil- yer at the lawful ratio of I6 to l. He landed the patriotism of the men who composed the Republican conven- ton which met on the 29th of April last, and who saij in their platform of principle. We assert that we ara for shs freq ani unlimited coinage of sill yer at the ratio Of l6 to l." and in- structed their delegates to the national convention 10 use "svery means in their power to secure . clause in the national platform "favorir g the free and unlimited coinage of silver" but evsrlsstingly roasted the hangers on and place hunters convention which met at Phoenix last week and who adopted platform in absolute opposi- ton to their declarations ID ade in April last. declaring that "We are uuslter- ably opposed to every measure cslcu- lated to debsse our currency or impair the credit of our country. We are therefore opposed to the free coinage of silver except by international agree ment and until such agree ment can be obtsiued the existing gold standard must be preserved"
 After paying 6 high tribute ts the rank and file of the republican party, end to .he lsboring classes of Arizona Mir. Smith said:
 "I trust you will pardon from me 8 word or two somewhat personal in their nature. Is is asked what did Mark Smith do in congressf shall not go through that record now. Suffice it to say here that had large sums paid to our people on Indian depreciation claims and never charged one cent for any service. had many ,houssnds repaid the territory on ac count of Indian triais; I had the money paid by the settlers to the de- iaultiug receiver at Tucson credited to their account, though there was no legal obligation on the government to de %; l had the government donate to Arizona the territorial prison farm of 20O0 acres ct Yuma. By ny amend mssts in committee the danger was taken cut of the Land Court bill. I paced several times through the House the bill for the admission of Arisona ss state. But sm not here to boast. II anybody asks yen what I did please say to him that be never put one cent of burden on his people nor psrmittei a wrong to be done them in all the course of his life in congress, and SO help me God never will"
