A. c. BENEDICT was in town this week from Weababia ranch. He reports his crop looking well. His ranch is located on the Santa Cruz, ten miles above any other in habltant. At different times all the rich valley of the Santa Cruz to the Sonora line has been settled upon, end here and there all along its banks are to be seen de- serted houses, each one having been the scene of combat and savage atrocity. In view of the former work of these savages, and the fact that they are now having it all their own way in that region, Benedict's s friends entreated him to abandon his post of danger and come to the settlements, but he shook his head mournfully and said that his wife and children must have bread.

 Oh, ye enemies of Arizona, would that you were compelled to accept his situation in order to support your wives and babies for six months. If you have no hearts to soften, such life might reach your gig zards The undertaken took Benedict's measure and but little difficulty will be experienced in settling his earthly affairs.

The Bangor (Me.) Commercial
prints the following as fact:


A former resident of this city some
years ago moved to Cincinnati and
went into business there. Some
time since as he was on his way to
his place of business at his usual
early hour in the morning, when
going past side street, one which
he had never had occasion to use,
he distinctly heard a voice which
said, $50 down this street, but, not
being of a superstitious turn of
mind, he continued on his way for
few blocks, when the, impression
grew so strong that he retraced his
steps and went down the street in
dicated by the voice. He had gone
but few rods, when the voice again
said, $50 in there;' he looked and
found himself opposite small third
rate hotel. Going into the bar-room
which opened on the street, the first
sight that met his astonished eyes
was the bar-keeper holding up a
coat of a peculiar cloth and color for
the examination of small knot of
idlers. He at once recognized the
coat as belonging to a friend of his,
whom he had last seen in Maine
during his visit home. Upon max
ing inquiries he found that his friend
lay dead in the house, and as there
was an evident disposition to plum
der the valuables and clothing of his
dead friend, he took charge of the
body and saw it properly buried,
and the property sent home to his
mother. Had it not been for his
remarkable warning, the dead man,
dying among strangers, might have
gone to the dissecting-room of the
medical college, and his effects to
heartless thieves. What makes the

He is in fact in error in every statement

and the whole thing shows the editor of


the Courier to be lacking in judgment to

public to a card published in another

of the HERALD, which bears upon the
subject. Will the editor of the Courier
read it and have the manliness to publish
it, to correct the misstatements he has
made. The Courier is respectfully in

to be published, and that the ''inexperi-

While connected with THE HERALD,
Mr.. Tuttle has never rejected an article
