A gentleman writing to an exchange relates the following curious occurrences: I was alone with my labors in field where potatoes were being harvested. My watch dog was along with me. l saw him seize mouse, swallow it and then lie down at my feet. went home to dinner, and while seated at the table was asked what was the matter with the dog. He was turning round and moan ing, and something was hanging from his side. took him up in my arms and found it was @ mouse which had just been killed. At first I thought it had merely stuck in the long hair, but on examining closer saw that only one- half of the mouse protruded from the dogs body. When the aperture was cleared it was found to be an inch in depth. The dog had no flont teeth, had swallowed the mouse and the little mi nal at once began to gnaw it's way out. It was at first stopped by one of the ribs, and had actually burrowed out between the skin and rib. The dog killed the mouse when it put it's head out by munching it with his jaws.

Nothing is more important, from a
sanitary point q view, than the purity
of the water used for cooking purposes
or for satisfying thirst. Should it con-
tain an undue proportion of organic mat
ters, it might be the means of giving
rise to most serious diseases, often of a
fatal character. 1t is a very common
mistake, but nevertheless very serious
one, to regard clear water as pure
water; for clear and clean are not
synonymous. Of course, the question
as to the fitness or unftness of soil
water for domestic use can only be de-
termined absolutely by a careful chem
ical analysis. But since few persons
wish to incur the trouble and expense
of a chemical analysis, a simple meth
cd by which any one may test the quail
ity of the water he uses may not
come amiss. As is well known, tho
sense of taste and smell vary greatly in
different individuals, one utterly failing
to detect the foul condition of a water
which would be very evident to a per-
son of finer organization. Some wa
ters, moreover, of very dangerous
quality, will fail to give any indication
by taste or smell. But if the causes Of
a bad taste or smell exist in the water,
the deleteriOus effects on the health will
remain the same whether they are rec
oenized or not. Heisch's test for this
purpose (credited by the ReUue Indus
trietle to Prof. Reynolds, of Dublin is
very useful, and so simple that any one
can use it. Fill perfectly-clean pint
bottle three-fOurths full of the water to
be tested, and dissolve therein half a
teaspoonful of the purest sugar COaf
or granulated sugar will do), cork the
bottle and set it in q warm place for
two days. If, in twenty-four to forty
eight hours, the water becomes cloudy
or milky, it is unfit for cooking or
drinking purposes. If it remain per-
fectly clear it is safe to use. ClOudi-
ness, when it occurs, is due, according
to Frankland, to fungoid fermentation,
which takes place in the presence of
sugar, and to traces of phosphOric acid
occasionally met with in waters con-
taminated by sewage. Scientific Amer

The murder of little Edith Freeman, at Pocasset, Massachusetts, by her own father, he being under the belief that he WAS ocnimanded toNIc thc act Sy the Almighty, presents one of the strangest cases ever occurring in this country. The acts of the father might, and undoubtedly would have been taken to be the deed of crazy man, and he would have been shut up in an asylum; but the fact that not only the little girls mother, but also, many of the neighbors, all belonging to the sect of Adventists," justify the murder, and assert that the child will be resur- rected or bodily transferred to heaven, shows that the crime grew out of a most extraordinary religious fanatic ism, which would disgrace the Kaffirs of Africa. We know very we'll the class of people in Massachusetts, who compose this band of enthusiasts, and that the density of their ignorance is only equalled by the avidity with winch they seize upon anything that is superstitiOus. They are a blot upon the intelligence of the State, and now that they add murder to their previous character, we would rather have our citizenship increased by an influx of Texas bOrderers, than by Massachu- sets Adventists.

IT is reported that the all-wise In spector Hammond has recommended to have the Pima Indians moved to Gila Bend. We have little doubt of the truth of tine report. Such an ab- surd recommendation would be in keeping with the general character of the Inspector. It shows a lack Of good, practical common sense. The Indians could raise nothing at Gila Bend and would be left to steal or die. This nay be a part Of Hammond s pollcy-speedy extermination. No one would be benefited except the few squatters who might jump the lands now occupied by the Indians. Such a move would undoubtedly awaken the bitterest feeling among the Pimas to- ward our Government authorities and make their future management mat ter of great difficulty. We have not the slightest idea that the Department will give the recommendation a mo- ment's consideration, but word in time may save much trouble; hence we have said it.

WAsHINGToE, May 6.-In the Su. preme Court yesterday the following decision was announced: Flagstaff Silver Mining Company of Utah, plain tiff, in error, vs. Helen Tarbet, in error to the Supreme Court of Utah. The controversy in this case relates to re spectiYe rights of two mining compa- nies in the Little Cottonwood District, Utah, who are working subterraneous- lv upon the same lode or vein of ore. The principal question involved Is whether the Flagstaff Company has a right 10 carry it's excavations under ground outside the perpendicularly drawn lines of its surface location, when by so doing it infringes upon the rights of the adjoining claimant. With regard to the important question of following lOdes or veins of ore be low the surface, and the respective rights of contending parties in such cases, this Court hcldS as follows l: First-LocatiOn of mining claim up on a lode or vein of ore should be laid along the same lengthwise of its course, at or near the surface under Mining Act of 1866 and that of 1872. Second-Each locator is entitled to follow the dip of the lode or vein to an indefinite depth, even though it car ries him outside of side lines Of loca- ton, but this right is based on the hypothesis that the side lines subtan- tially correspond with the course of the lode or vein at the surface, and that it is bounded at each end by the end lines of the location crossing the lode or vein and extended perpendicu- larly downwards and indefinitely in their own direction. Third-It the location be laid crOSswise of the lode or vein so that its greatest length cross es the same instead of following the course thereof, it will secure only so much of the vein as it actually crosses at the surface, and the side lines oi the location will become end lines thereof, for the purpose of defining the rights of owners. Fourth-A To- 'cator working subterraneOusly into the dip of vein belonging to another locator who is in possession of his location, is a tyeSpasser, and liable to action for taking ore therefrom. In accordance with these principles this Court holds that the Flagstaff Com panv is outside it's rightful bound aries, and it therefore affirms the Judg.. ment of the lower Court in favor oi Helen Tarbet. Justice Bradley de- livered the opinion.

In brief conversation with MT.

 Robert 4. Lewis, who is just in from Tombstone, we learn that the district still maintains its usual life and pro-

 gress. The Tombstone and Corbin Mill and Mining Companies have a large

 force of men employed and are push

 ing the developments on their mines and work on their new mills. The latest working in the Tough Nut, Lucky Cuss, Contention and other prominent mines are as good as ever A great deal of assessment work has re- gently been done in the District. People are putting up new buildings and making general improvements of a permanent character, which indicates their confluence in those wonderful mineral deposits.

 The company owning the Richmond townsite and water works have com pleted their surveys and are about ready to commence on the works, which will be located at Crystal Spring, from which the water will be raised 560 feet to the summit of what isl known as Treasure Hill, where their main reservoir will be built. This elevation is about 4200 feet above thei sea level, and about 7j feet above the town of Richmond and adjacent mines which these water works are intended i to supply. 1

 Col. A. Lewis, father of our inform ant is now in Chicago for the purpose of purchasing all the machinery need i ed for the works, and it is also his in teEtiOn to have quartz mill shipped out very soon. Col Lewis has laid his plans before the Company and as soon as particulars are arranged, he will be back to Arizona to commence vigorous operations.

The Silver Belt of May 9 brings u.

 the unwelcome tidings of the burning

 of the Miami ten-stamp quartz mill, in

 Globe District, on the afternoon oi

 Mays. The Silver Belt says:

 "The fire was discovered by persons

 in front of the store, fifty yards dis

 tant from the mill, who immediately

 gave the alarm and ran for the then

 partially ignited building and found

 those there unconscious of the fire and

 at work cleaning the battery. which

 had become choked. The engine had not been stopped and five of the stamps were in motion. The flames, in consequence of the combustible na- ture Of the building, seemed to almost instantaneously flash over the entire structure, and at a glance it was ap- parent that the wood work of both building and machinery would soon

 be reduced to ashes, and which fear was realized in less time than was at first supposed. The machinery is con- paratively uninjured. The burning severed the betting, and the engineer being unable to approach the engine 1t at once attained such lightning speed as to break and throw the mas sive 6y-wheel in every direction, one piece passing through two walls of a saloon adjoining the store above re- ferred to and barrel of whisky; an- other piece was thrown some distance further burying itself in the ground to the depth of from three to five feet

 The fire is supposed to have caught from bark and other inflammable ma terial in front of the fire doors and almost instantly communicated to an adjacent pile of dry cedar wood. The mill cost about S69,OOO and was par tially insured"

 This is the second quartz mill burned in Final County since the 1st of April. These severe misfortunes to Pioneer and Globe districts will be deeply re- gretted by all interested in the develop ment of our mining resources. It is not only severe loss to the mill own- CTS, but also to the miners, the district and the territory at large It will cause significant reduction in thel bullion products of Pinal County and 1t will require several months to re- place this necessary means to financial in mining operations. Wel hope the mill will be immediately re- built and that energy and capital will speedily supply what an i'll fortune has destroyed.

Bridge when it proved stubborn and
breaking from his control ran back to
the spot from whence it was driven,
near Isaac Ma, lor's farm about three
miles outside of Wilmington.

animal and she still proving vicious he
tied a pillow line around its tongue
and jaw and then firmly fastened the
other end to her leg. Some Of the

Webb, and she by right and virtue Of
