GIVE THASKs.-Never has an event
given more universal satisfaction to any com
munity than the advent of rainy day yester-
day morning to the people of Montana
Every man, woman and child in the Territory
was ready to greet it with hearty welcomes,
a. the greatest blessing that could be be
slowed upon US and every face frightened as
il. made It's appearance The miner thought
of full streams and di tches, an abundance of
water in his sluice boxes and dust in his pOck
ct. The farmer had in mind his crop and the
influence which the rain would have in pro-
ducing him n bountiful harvest Every busi-
ness man saw in it vigorous business, good
prices and cash on delivery. Mines that 9th
eruise would have been deserted, will now
TEEN with the hardy miner. The grain and
grass will grow lOxuriently, and from all
these sources of revenue will how plenty and
wealth throughout the year Green verdure
will cover the hills and valleys, the herds
that wander over our broad prairies viii find
subsistence, and every living creature through
out the wide extent of Montana, will be ben
eftted by this moist blessing.
GALLATIN VALLEY.-We had the
pleasure of meeting yesterday Mr.. J. J. Gull
yer, one of the staunch Republicans of Mon
tana, who represents the Gallatin Valley.
We regret to learn from Mr.. Culver that the
grasshOppers have appeared in the Valley,
and have almost literally stripped the grow
ing grain In some parts of the Valley, princi-
pally in the vicinity of GaIlAtiu City. These
insects are yet very small and il is hoped that
the present rain will daupen their enthusi-
asm and restrain their youthful ambition to
such an extent that the grain refreshed aud
strengthened by the shower, will grow out Of
their reach. The farmers of Gallatin have
toiled incesssntly and perseveringly in the
development of beautiful farms and the rais-
ing of grain. and almost every season have
been compelled to witness the destruction of
their growing crops by the ravages of this
terrible scourge, and we do hope and trust
that this rain may prove effective IN destroy
ing the insects or retarding their operations
until their assaults are in vain.
