The Phenix Gazette this morning gives the following notice of the de- p&rture for this place of W. A. Freeze, former resident of Pres cot.
 w. A. Freeze lett last night for Prescott, where he will permanently reside for some tine. There are two reasons for Mr. Freeze leaving Phe- nix His wife aud family do not have good health here, particularly the boy, and for that reason Mrs. Freeze does not wish to reside here; and Mr. Freeze has been able to make, Tn connection with Tom Turner, very advantageous deal, whereby be gets control of the sport ipg department of the Palace saloon at Prescott. Yesterday the Senator received a telegram from Turner saying that the deal was closed, and the Senator forthwith packed his valise and left on the evening train. He has made arrangements to close out his interest in the Palace saloon here ss soon as possible. w. A. Freezes departure from Phenix is deeply regretted by every one who kiiows him. and nearly every one knows the genial Senator
 He is regarded by every body as square sport and an honorable man. He has close personal friends among every class, from the laborer to the divine. He will be a serious loss to the republican party of this city and county, of which he is a war horse. No man stands higher in the councils of his party here, and on election day he was the man most feared by the democrats. It is highly probable that if Mir Freeze had consented to make the race for sheriff last fall, he could have been the nominee of his party. MT. Freeze goes with the regret and good wishes of all.

AneirnI ReIIos Found.

An exchange, received from the old home of the editor of the JoURSAL-MNER in Pennsylvania, gives an account of the discovery of some very ancient documents re- gently found by workmen engaged in remodeliBg the old Westmore- land county court house at Greens burg, the county seat.
 The papers were found in an old chest, which had been stored away in 6 garret, and which had remained tseTe untouched for several genera tions. Many of the documents bear the handwriting of George Wash ington and William PeEu and King George.
 Among them are records as t9 slaves belonging to Washington and the boundaries and grants of Indian lands. One document tells about his selling the property of John Jones in l7S6 for q debt of f20 Ss and 6d. Public documents snd let ters with the signatures of King George III and William Penn were also unearthed. Several interesting letters from Penn show his vague ideas of the region west of Fort Pitt. since alluding to the MIssissip- pi river he styles it "The river that drains the Great Lakes" Other records written by men Of rank, both in the colonies aud England, were found, but many of these ara defaced and undeeipherable. The documents will be turned over to the state.

Arrested for Eorgery .

l.. c. Miller, a former constable of Prescott, was arrested in Tucson yesterday by Sheriff Ruifner. charg- ed with forgery. The particular act alleged against him is the passing of check calling for $50 at one of the saloons in Prescott, the check having what purported to be the signature of J. R. Dillon, of Jerome. On presentation of it at the bank, it was pronounced forgery, and . warrant was immediately issued for Miller's arrest.
 A peculiar feature of the case is that Miller went into a certain busi- ness house in town, and called for paper and ink, saying he wanted to do some writing. The writing ma terial was furnished, and he was asked if he wanted paper, when he replied, "No, I have paper" He went to table and sat down, pulled a slip of paper out of his pocket and commenced writing, and shortly afterwards took the slip of paper in bis hand and held It up in front of him in the presence of the party giving him the pen and ink, and read it, and then passed out. The party in the store who noticed the operation remarked after be went out, that he believed Miller had forged a check, but the person be made the remark to laughed at him, and nothing more was said.
 It is thought that he was intend ing to go to Mexico, but was over taken before he reached the line.

Russia, with her over 4.87k,O0O square miles of area more than the United States, has I5s, GOO miles less of railroads, says the Buffalo Courier Most of the engines burn naphtha oil for fuel, with excellent results. This oil is the refuse fross the first refining and costs about 40 cents per barrel. This oil is also used for general lubrica:ing pur- poses.
 None of the engines have bells, but instead they have two whistles. The engines are finely painted; tke wheels red, frame black; jacket and cab green, with fns black stripe; the inside of cabs nearly white or cream color. The speed of freight trains is limited to % miles an hour, while the fast express Is limited to 35 miles per hour. Tn switching and making up trains sll signals are given by sound-that is, the switch man has 8 6n horn which he blows, and the engine driver is obliged to repeat this signal by whistle before he goes ahead. When an engine stops the engineer is required to give three short whistles.
 The passenger coaches are divided into three classes--frst, second and third. They are all lighted by can dles. The outside of the first class car is painted blue; second class yell low; third class, green, plainly let tered without any striping. Some cars are psrtitioned of in the center -one section for the first class pas sengers, the other for the second class; these are painted one-hslf yel low and the other half green. There is only a single road of all double track, and that is 400 miles long. Some of the switches are provided with padlocks. spiked on one of the cross ties in the center of the track. To move a switch requires the use of 3 key to the paddock, which is about ten inches long and weighs several pounds.

SAN FRANcssco, April 2l.-Much local interest has been excited by the report that an eifort IS being made to commute the sentence of Durrant to life imprisonment. Those working for the condemned mur- dsrer of Blanche Lamont are talk irS hope from the announcement tha. three of the state board of prison directors are about to recon mend Governor Budd to commute the sentence.

 tation of sentence would be followed
 by sn outburst of popular inoigna- tiou. Ex-Judge Murphy, who pre- sided at the trial of Durrant, denies that he would, under any circunl- stances, sign 8 petition for commit tation of the sentence.

 SAN FRANcIsoo, April 2l. The three-year-old child of Frank Floyd. who lives in Arroyo valley, died yesterday in convulsions from the bite of a rattle snake. Yesterday afternoon the baby went into the yard to play. He found cosy place in a corner and commenced digging in the sand. Soon his attention was attracted by a rsttling sound. A snake rustled up to the child, and, coiling itself up in front of the lit tie one, darted to and fro. The boy was delighted with the visitor, and talked to it in baby language. His father walked into the yard to look after the baby, and was mortified when he saw and heard the child prattling to the snake. Shouting to baby not to touch the snake, be secured a club and walked stsslthily up to the rattler. which was watch ing every move made by the infant. The little one reached out to pro tect the snake and received bite on the back of the right hand. In an instant the father had smashed the snakes head. Almost immediately the baby'S hand and arm swelled to an enoI nous size. Remedies such as are to be found in farm house were applied, but they did not give relief. The father and mother took the child in 6 buggy aud made a wild ride to Livermore, fourteen miles, for medical aid. but by the time they arrived the child was uns conscious. There had been frequent convulsions. Physicians worked on the baby for hours, but without avail.
