EIGHT DAYS OF "LIaHT LOCAL RAtNs."-
The amount of rainfall in the seven DAYS begin
ming Tuesday, August 18th, and ending Mon
day, August 18th, was more than nine inches
ma third, and was greater by full inch of
depth than that of the schole month of August
is!2, which was less than eight inches and q
thiid. VI that vast mass of water nearly seven
inches and one-third fell within the Mirty-siy
nus which followed the beginning of the rain
on last Tuesday week. This Is not unprece-
deDted-nothing is in our day-but it will be re-
cognized as very heavy wet II the quantity
ofwater which fell In the seven days referred to
were all collected on our streets at one time
and supposing the streets to occupy one
eighth of the surface of the buiIt-up CITY.
1t would cover the streets to the depth Of
seyenty-four inches, or rather more than sir feet
Thus far in the nineteen DAYS of the month of
August more rain has falle n than in any tuhoie
month since 1864, with the exception of the
months of June and August, 1867, and july
1872. The amount for the nineteen DAYS of the
present month is ten inches and nearly one fifth
OF an inch. In June, 1867 and July, 1872, there
were about eleven inches of rainfall for the
whole Of each of those months In August,
ls6l, which was one of the great rainy Aug1sts,
the rainfall amounted to nearly sixteen inches
whether the present August will match that is
rather doubtful; but there are eleven DAYS of
the month yet in the future, and at the time
when this is written we are still within the
range of "hght easterly to southeastern
Winds" and " cloudy and clearing weather,
with g areas Of light local rains."- lphia

THE WHISKY CoNFIsCATIoN-AP PRAIRIE FIRE
DEPARTURE OF LIEUT.. COL. GRANr-THE
REPoRTED ARREST OF GEN. CUSTER.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune with
the Yellowstone expedition gives a record of
events to July 9th. Under date OF July sd is
the following entry
"Gen. Stanley ordered the destruction of all
the whisky in camp, and the order has been so
thoroughly executed that not drop remains

put on board, and in five minutes was OFF for

Gen. Stanley. The stockade has been COM
peted. and the stores are being placed in il
Capt. Parsons, nth infantry, with seventy-five
men, will be left to guard the stockade ana
stores until our return. To-day, the crossing
was begun, and it will require two or three days
to get over all the animals, wagons, stores, aud
troops. Then we win take up our journey west
for Pompey's Pillar. No Indians have been
reported yet, but we shall likely meet them
west of the river, If at all"
No mention is made at this date OF subse-
QUently of the reported arrest of Gen. Custer by
Gen. Stanley, heretofore mentioned in TIE
STAR, but a correspondent of the Sioux CITY
Journal writes from Camp Candy, on the YET
lowstone, July %, and from his letter we extract
the following :-"The biggest stir created on
the trip was the arrest of Gen. Custer by Gen
Stanley. did not learn the cause of the arrest.
but one of Clusters own officers told me that
Custer marched in the rear of his command one
whole day before he was released. Clusters
men denounce his arrest as an act of tyranny,
while Stanley's men, on the other hand, Justify
their chief in the act. have no opinion in the
matter. 1t no doubt will be fully explained at
the proper time"
