THE ball given on Monday evening at Congress Hall in honor of General Crook in connection with his recent appoint ment to be a brigadier-general, was re- garded by all reliable observers as the best in every respect of any of the many grand ones which have from time to time come off in Tucson. The attendance was general, the music the best the splendid 9th Cavalry orchestra have, the supper tip top, and all enjoyed themselves very well indeed.

From the Savannah, Ga, News, Dec. III


On Christmas morning one OF the
saddest and most appalling incidents
occurred at Christ Church that has
been known in this city. The morning
services had been concluded, and the
candidates for confirmation, ten in num-
Der, were invited to the altar. One OF
these was Miss Lizzie Spencer-a mos'
estimable young lady, about l6 years OF
age, daughter OF Captain W. II Spencer
who was occupying a seat in the mid
die OF the gallery, to the right on enter
ing the church. She came down stairs
and moved up the aisles with the
others, and was confirmed accord
ing to the rites OF the church by Right
Rev. Bishop Beckwith. After the
confirmation ceremonies, Miss Spencer
returned TO her seat in the gallery, and
had scarcely taken it when her head
sank forward on the railing. Those in
the vicinity attached no significance to
this, imagining that it was merely an
act OF devotion, when suddenly the
young lady sank from ber seat, and
would have fallen upon the floor, but
for the promptness OF DR.. W. II. e.
lott, next whose pew abe was sitting,
who caught her in his arms. Three or
four gentlemen immediately y approached
and assisted in carrying her from the
church. Considerable interest was oc-
cassioned in the congregation, whose
attention was attracted to the commo-
ton in the gallery, but the general in
ference was that the young lady,
overcome by her feelings, had tainted.
Alas such was not the case, the gen"
tlemen who were tenderly carrying the
almost lifeless form, noticed on gong
down the stairs that the gasps which
now and then shock the frame grew
fainter and fainter; on reaching the
vestibule


There lite gave way, and the last rosy


breath


Went in that deep drawn sigh.


A conveyance was at once procured.
and the lifele-s form Of the young lady
was taken TO her fathers residence on
Liberty street The announcement OF
this sad and melancholy ending oi life
lust dedicated to the service OF the Lord
cent a thrill OF solemn grief throug b the
congregation.

PITTSBURGH, January 2.-The rivers

from the effects OF the ice in Pool No.

by boats dispatched for that purpose,

in doing the same thing in Pool No. 2.

hour. The wreck OF the Mountain Boy
was carried away, and the Leonard,
living mile down the river, is also gone.
She was an old boat, worth from $4,000
to $4,000. and uninsured. She belonged
to Captain Pierce. The Ohio No had
a small hole knocked in her larboard
head. The Minneola's starboard iantail
was smashed and her cylinder tlmbers
broken. The James D. Parker was
crowded clear on the top OF the wreck
of the barge Nightingale by a large
barge which struck her wheel breaking
it badly, and it is feared her shaft Is
also broken. The barge was crowded
clear up on the Parker's wheel, where
it hung for about two hours and was
then carried off by huge mass OF ice
and disappeared down the river.
The wreck OF the Kate Putnam

Our citizens must be careful not to
contound the election to be held next
Monday with that which will occur on
the Fourth Thursday, (23d) ofthe pres.
ent month. The election next Monday
is to be held in accordance with the
provisions OF the act recently passed by
the Legislature for the establishment
ofa County Court for Ohio county. A
Judge is to be elected by the voters OF
the county and in each township, or
"district" as they are now called. a Com
missioner is to be chosen. The Commits
siopers are charged with duties similar
to those OF the present Supervisors, and
the same care should be exercised IN
their selection as wes given to the
choice of Supervisors under the old
system. They regulate the internal
affairs OF the county, determine upon
the amount OF revenue to be raised and
determine how the county funds shall
be disbursed.


1t is evident therefore that good, sen.
sible and responsible men should be
selected for the discharge of these i'm
portant duties.


The new court to be established will
be but slightly inferior in jurisdiction
to the present Circuit Court, and the
Judge should be man OF legal ability
and of upright character. In fact, the
qualities that the Judge OF the County
Court should possess are the same that
should be required in the selection OF
Judge for the Circuit Court. The
duties of the two positions are almost
equally important and the salary o.
each is the same. The people should
aim to secure for toe place the very
best talent that is available. and from
the number OF gentlemen offered as can.
dldates, almost any one OF whom would
fill the position very creditably, the
people of the county should have nc
difficulty in making a satisfactory
choice.


The Judge and the several Commis-
sioners are the only officers to be voted
for next Monday. The regular Charter
Election will he held in the city on the
23d inst, at which time Mayor aud
other city officers and members OF the
Council will be chosen. We will have
plenty of opportunities hereafter for
discussing the matters involved in the
municipal election; for the present we
desire ouly to direct public attention to
the importance OF the selection of suit
able persons for Judge and Commission
ers next Monday.

From the Kansas City News.


The other day there was a man going about


the streets of this city, ragged, dirty and penni


less, subsisting on free lunches and the chari-


ties of gamblers, and has not slept in bed
for months, who, during the war, was one
of the most dashing cavalry officers in the
Union army, and was promoted from the


rank of first Lieutenant to full Brigadier and
brevet MaJor-General for brilliant exploits on


the field OF battle, and who, for long time,


had large and important command. He


has been here for two or three months under


an assumed name, being ashamed to dim the


country by an exhibition of his degradation


under his former honored name. He is gen.


orally very reticent, having little to do with


any one, or talking but little, save when


"engineering" for drink, at which he is
remarkably successful. The other night,


while lying helplessly drunk in the rear part
of Third street saloon, some men thought
to play joke on him by stealing his shirt,
and proceeded to strip him. Underneath his
shirt, and suspended by string around his
neck, was small canvass bag, which the
men opened and found it to contain his COM
mission as brevet Major General, two con-
gratulatory letters, one from Grant and one
from the late President Lincoln, photograph
of little girl and curl of hair-a chestnut
shadow" that doubtless one day crept over
the brow of some loved one.


When these things were discovered, even
the half-drunken men who found them felt a
respect for the mans former greatness, and
pity for his fallen condition, and quietly re-
turned the bag and contents to where they
found them, and replaced the sleeper's clothes
upon him. A Neaos reporter tried to inter-
view the man and endeavor to learn some-
thing of his life in the past few years, but he
declined to communicate anything. He cried
like child when told how his right name
and former position were ascertained, and,
with tears trickling down his cheeks, said:
"For Gods sake, sir, don't publish my degra-
ton, or my name at least, if you are deter
mined to say something about it. 1t is enough
that know myself how low 1 have become.
Will you promise that much? It will do no
good, but will do my friends great deal of
harm, as, fortunately, they think I died in
South America, where went at the close of
the war" lntemperance and the gaming
table, he said, had wrought his ruin

The Union met in special meeting at
o'clock, P. NJ, on Saturday, in accordance
with previous notice. The first items of
business attended to were the reports from
the respective subordinate Oranges on the
several questions referred to them at their
previous meeting, and which were published
in our issue of the 18th ultimo


We were informed that these reports
were very interesting and instructive, as
we expected they would be from the very
Interesting nature of the questions


We regret that we did not arrive in time
to hear these reports, but we hope to have
them in time for publication in our next
issue, from the talented Secretary, Bro.
5. D. Hillman, who takes all his minutes in
shorthand, necessitating their translation
into common scrip before they are intel
Hgible to the initiated.


At the time of our arrival. the Union had
just taken up the discussion of the State
Agency question. Tue subject was dis
cussed with great freedom, large number
Of the delegates having their say. The
discussion was carried on in most frater-
nal spirit, and. with an evident desire to
harmonize, and to arrive at Just conclu
Sims. After considerable discussion it
was voted to refer the matter TO the subor-
dinate Oranges for their investigation. and
report through their Masters, to the State
Grange, and through their delegates at the
next meeting Of the Union.


we were glad to see a strong feeling
among the members in favor of patrouiz1ne
and building up home industries and home
manufactures. Our readers will remem-
Der that we took occasion to commend a
resolution passed at a former meeting Of
this same body, in favor of home manufac-
lures. The more we see and hear of, and
think upon the difficulties surrounding the
farmers movement, the more are we con-
vinced that the surest way to solve them
is to combine, just as the Iowa farmers are
doing, in the building up of home manufac-
tories This is the only way to get out of
the clutches of soulless TRANSFORMATION
companies, or Of Eastern monopolists. As
long as we are in a shape that we are COM
PEELED to buy there, just so long will they
compel us to pay their prices. Just 50 long
as we are asking for more freights to be
carried over the railways than they can
carry, so long will they ask their own
prices.


We are glad that 50 earnest a body of
Patrons are looking at this question in the
same light.


The delegates were all earnest and wide
awake in the work. Among them and act
ing as Overseer we were glad to meet our
old pupil, H. 7. Harmon, who. by the way
is the Clerk elect OF the District Court Of

IN conversing with home manufacturers
IN our travels in this State we have had it
asserted, that farmers when asked to buy
OF them will promise that when they need
anything they will remember them and
come and buy, and will even grow eloquent
over the necessity of supporting home in
stltutlons, but invariably forget all about
1t as soon as some smooth tongued agent
from some company away down East, where
'hey DOH the sun up. comes along, and buy
on the spot. for fear they will miss the
splend'd chance. There is about five million
times too much truth in such charges.
How such men expect to get out of the
clutches Of eastern mononolists while
they will starve those Of their own house
hold that they may bestow their goods
upou these benevolent (?) creatures, is a
question which we confess ourselves unable
to answer. The home manufacturer saws
that without keeping the very best of
agents in the field at great expense, he
e1e' eo1ii'e VAIN 'AeSe runners OF Lne
east, and would be compelled to shut I'D
shop. The man that has the keenes1 agent
sells the most goods. not necessarily the
man who sells the cheapest, nor that sells
the best article. The farmers will persist
in buying of the oily chaps, with olesmar-
garine lingual appendages hawking over the
country for some Bagdad or other distant
manufacturing company. Now will this
nonsense ever be stopped?
