Enrroit Ohkgon Scout: It hay just Iiltii brought to my no tice that a eontiove.isy has been going on through tlio columns of your valua ble and widely eireulaU tl paper, in which my name has boon freely used, respecting tho armed raid upon tho hay in the barn on my rnncb. Allow me to say n few wordy in con tradiction of the statement made by my brother's foreman, who must have replied in ignorance of the true Hiato of affairs. In tlio first place, let mo utalothat L have :t monied inteiott in tho concern, to n considerable amount, for which I have not, as yet, received one cent of interest. The barn in question was raised with the proceeds of my money ; tho lumber, with tlio exception of (he rafters and ono third thu shingles wore mine, bought by me, lmuled on 4my wagon, with my team and man, and paid for by mo. Tlio hay was the amount produced on my forty acroe, with tho exception that two-thirds of the hay oil' my forty, was cut and put in tho barn on my brother's ranch, the remaining third, together with hay oil' my brother' ranch, went to make up tho total in tho barn on iny ranch. This hay was grown, harvested and put into this barn with tho proceeds of the sumo money, and "Urimes" was perfectly right in his statoment, and I must thank him for taking up cudgels on my behalf. Will you please insert the above in your next issuo, trusting 1 havo not encroached too much upon your val uablo space. Yours He spec! fully, William WiiirrAicun. WHO IS YOUR HKKT I'lUKNI)?

( Code h,ta luvn quite sick, but is improving. J. j. Alber.-on is having his large barn filled with hay, preparatory for tho spring rush. A social danco was given on ho 2nd inst, in Dill's hall, which was it success in everv particular. Tho weather has been beautiful for the past month, tho snow onlj being about .1 feet deep at present. Tho O. (l. M. Co. nro having their mining timbers hauled from liitngrell's mill, preparatory to starting up tho first of March. The road down tho canyon was nev er better, as the snow is packed Folid and tho freezing and thawing makes itcmooth as glass. The skating rink, conducted by Messrs. Clingan it Cunningham, bus been one of the principal attractions this winter. It is largely attended and affords much pleasure to thoto who can keep their feet on tho floor. The O. (. M. Co. will again resume work on the fust of March. A large force of men will be put io work, and wo expect to see things pushed by this company. We have had great faith in the integrity ami grit of this comprny, and never for :i moment thought that their shutting down meant anything more I ban temporary suspension. They will employ 4i) men nt present, and will increase their forces as the Vpring advances and tho snow disap pears. Tlio principal social event of tho week was the intended marriage of one of the solid men of Allentown to a fnir lady from Pino Valley. They repaired to tho office of tho J. V., but when afcked by that worthy oJlcor to pro duce their license, they smilingly in formed him that they didn't know it was necessary when both parties were "willin." Tlio would-be groom then fought tho Jlii-trict l'ecorder and of fered him i.(X) in money and four cords of wood (in tho tree) if ho would issue them the necessary papers, but he blandly informed them that ho was not the proper parly to whom to ap- l ply. They again consulted the ,1. P. j ami asked his advice in regard to a j written contract being sufficient to make them one, and inseperable, but he informed tliem that the laws of our j State wero such that they had better i have a license, whereupon they mado nlliidavit thiough a friend, of their el igibility, and forwarded the same to the county clerk, and wo hope soon to chronicle the first marriage ceremony over performed in Cornucopia.

Hov- Mr. Ilea) very ably delivered tho discourse. I Io will soon leave for distant lields. We aro very sorry that ho cannot stay, as we need him here. Oh what fmo weather! .Seems like spring. A great contrast to last month. Stock is being driven to the hills where grass is nicely starting. Plenty of hay yot remains, and wo could havo fed another month with careful feeding. Mr. C. T. Wise and Mr. J. Jennings have completed their schools in Pino Valley, and returned to their homo in IJftglo. They aro good teachers and aro reported as having very success fully taught their schools tho past wiu tc'r, in our sister valley. Jt is generally reported that tho fruit trots are all killed bore, owing to the hittd freeze during January. In many instances tho tices have frozen until thef aro black. Jt is said that not a poaeh tree i cumins alive in tho valley. To the fruit giowers this is a Mid aifttir, its tome depend upon their fruit and garden for a livelyhood. Five years ago, wo uniUrstaiKl, the camo tiling occurred, but ranchers, undiscouraged, set xi work ro-sotting their orchards, andjttit as they lwgan to boar, nro killid again.

I'Ybruary 25, ISSS. KniTo;; Oiij'.ooN Scot r: Th week's work in Congress, so far, makes n poor showing, Moth the t'-en-ate and tlio House have accomplished less than usual. The J)istriet of Co lumbia has bad more attention than itnv other section of Uncle Sam's domain, and several bills of local inter ! est. have been passed. There h.is been no lack of interesting debate, however, in both ends of the Capitol. A quartet le of Territories are knock ing loudly for admission to the sis terhood of states, and an enabling act will soon be reported, which will prob ably lo passed before I be session ends. An "enabling act" does not enable, strictly speaking. As Mr. Springer says, (ho is tho Chairman of tho Com mittee on Territories) it is , simply an act of encouragement. After such en couragement, the Territory forms a State Constitution, constructs the ma chinery for Slate government, prepares for admission into tho Union as states, and demands it. Tho Aspirants alluded to are Dako ta, Montana, Washington and New Mexico. 1 did not mention Utah, who did not wait for Congress in give her the iniative. Tho people of Utah held their Territorial Convention, adopted a Stale Constitution, and now demand admission to the Union. This they had aright to do, Chairman Springer says, only they will havo to pay all of their own expenses, whereas, if they had waited for Congress to pasd an enabling' r.ct, tho United States Treasury would havo paid all of Ihei; expenses. The ttluino letter of declination cre ated quite a htir in political eircles here. Interest in it was particularly intense iu iho Suuato, for quite u num ber of (he Senators havo had the J 'res idential beo buzzing around them. Senatora Jfawly, Sherman, Allison and a few others were even congratulated, laughingly, that tho path to tho 1'iesi dential nomination had been so happi ly opened to (hem. General Sheridan's most intimate friends hero take special pains to rep resent him as entirety free from tho J'rosidenti.il mania. They say that the measure of his ambition is filled with tho ollieo he now holds, and that he has no intention of plunging into political strife. If true, tho pathway is still more open to those who are willing to endure tho wear and tear of mind and body, tho vexation of spirit and sickness of soul that must coino to every man who allows (ho buz.ing insect to enter his ear, for "Little Phil" would make a popular candidate. Tho Department of Superintendence of the National Educational Aesooin tion have been holding a convention in thin city for the past three days and the meeting attracted prominent edu eatoi's here from nil parts, of tho United States. Tlio daily sessions and the subjects discussed havo been highly entertaining to all persona interested in educational matters. Sunday last was an unusually busy day among tho Toniporaneo workers of Washington. Largo meetings wero held and stirring addresses wore made in different parts of tho city. Notable among the speeches made for prohibi tion wero those of Congressmen Ciitcheon, of Missouri, aud E, U. Tay lor, of Ohio. A Washingtonian says that porno of tlio bills pending in Congress m rela tion to tho District of Columbia aro calculated lo creato tho impression that parents in this city dusiro the Federal Government to tako charge of their children. IIowuh alluding par ticularly to a bill introduced by Sena tor Chace, of Jihodo Island, providing that tobacco shall not ho sold in any form to residents of the District who aro under sixteen years of age. Tho Jllair Educational bill which has had such a long and tempestuous voyage through tho Senato has at last pawed that body again, by a voto of 51) to 20. Tho bill has occupied much valuable time during threo Congresses, and has gained no converts iu tho Senato wing. A comparison of this last voto with that of two yearH ago shows that tho longer tho measure has been thought of and talked of the weaker it has grown. Every Senator who votod against it before voted against it on this last occasion, whilo sotiio, including Senators Konua, Ulaekburn, Voorhccs anil Spoonor who votod in favor of it two ycarss ago, voted against it on Wednesday. It is believed by many that tho bill will btuud no chanco of gotting safely shrough the house. Senator Ulair himself mado tho closing speech on his oboriabed measure, and iu it at tacked the Jesuits for their opposition to tho common school system. J. II. 0. NO. 3G. Cove Callings.
