IN SoAK.-Ralph H. Rogers, Col. c. P. Head and W. w. Hutchison made trip to Black Canyon last week to look at the new discov cries made there by Jack Moore, J. W. Swilling and others, and as the weather was | excessively hot, in that country, they left | their coats at Swiling's ranch and rode to the mines, twelve miles distant, in their l shirt-sleeves, intending to return to the ranch the same evening. but were detained in their examinations longer than they cal culated on, and night came and found them still at the mines without tent, blanket or bush to shelter them; but as they were all accustomed to shift for themselves under such circumstances, they each took, what s. S. Fenn, the Idaho Delegate, would call a Missouri blanket, and settled themselves in the sand for a comfortable nap. During the night there came up such rain-stOrm as they all declare has rarely, if ever been known to visit this rain-blessed region in its rainiest season. It rained and poured down in cataracts and floods, until, not only our mine-hunting friends, but the whole earth whereabouts was perfectly saturated with it. To get up and run, was only to make mat ters worse, as the, was not a bush nor rock in many miles of them to break the force of the storm, and they each lay, like Enoch Arden, "prOne upon the ground, dug their fingers into the wet earth, and prayed" Rogers, who is accused by his companions of being the Jona of the party, inasmuch as his going out to look at mines is generally a signal for rain, was frequently heard during the storm to mutter to himself som ething that sounded like swearing, which was no doubt an invocation to the rain-god to let up, but in the meantime his want of faith in the efficacy of prayer was manifested in an effort to dig himself deeper into the sand, so as to husband all the warmth his body had communicated to the ground, as if he ex- pected a protracted siege. Col. Head says, if he owned a dry ranch, and the corn was suffering for want of rain, he should stake Rogers out in the middle of the field and confidently expect rain-storm inside of six hours.

FouRrH OF LILLY.

Already flags and other evidences of the approach of the Centennial Fourth are be- ginning to show themselves in the streets and at the doors of houses, where patriotic emblems are kept for sale, as we'll as upon poles and in the hands of the boys, evincing an unusual interest in the approaching Cele- bration.
 The programme advertised to-day will tell the story of what is in contemplation by the people in a collective capacity, so far as the Committee were able to give it to us up to the hour of going to press. Not being able to communicate with Judge Goodwin, who is in attendance upon the CouFt in Mo have County the Committee did mt feel warranted in announcing him as Orator of day, without first gaining his consent, and being certain that he would be here to fulfill the engagement, consequently the Grafton is left out of the programme, but will be put into the Exercises, in case he arrives and con- sents. This was the more readily assented sequence of the fact of having the Historical Address, by J. H. Marion, which is new feature on such occasions, and in case the orator does not arrive the Address will take the place of the Grafton.
 The storekeepers, we understand, will close their stores at 10 A. NJ. on that day, in order that themselves and employees may join in the Celebration, and have good time with those more fortunate, who have no stores nor anything else. The Committee urge upon the people to be on the ground at l0:30 promptly.
