The early portion ot the week was cool and ciondy Thursday, il showcred all around Pres. colt, and, in the afternoon, Prescott was treated to a few light showers. Thunder and lightning Accompanied every shower
 Thus did We report the weather last week. up 10 tiie hour oi going ID press eariy in inc after noon of Friday, July 36 soon after which hour. ram commenced pouring down and kept coming TOT aoont three hours, at the end Of which lime every creek, guich, rayine, wash fat aud valley in this section of the Territory was filed wi;h water Granite Greek overiiowed it's banks and down it foated great trees.
 ! hs rain was general, throughout this section ana great is the good il has done for farmers miners, owners 0; stock, in fact, fer every body
 The thunder was freqarn, and dcafeninc, and continuous flashes of lightning lent a brillianry 10 The great out-pouring and grumbling Of the hcavy masses Of clouds that were constantly colid ing above Us.
 The lightning struck tree on HeadQuarter Hill, Fort Whipple, with it's usual success at se- reEatiDg- Another holt of t went into the eronDd at a point little above Prescott
 An afternoon or two previous to this grand storm, observing folk here say they feasied their eyes upon the finest specimen of q rainbow they had ever witnessed which rainbow, We are told a very little girl, daughter of E. H. Weaver, o. this office, saw and likened unto "ripe water melon"
