TUESDAY.

RAIN ON THE RooF-We have kind of
 dreamy recollection of the soft batter of rain
 drops on the roof about four a'clock this
 morning, and an impression that it con-
 tinued until day light, when our awakened
 senses convinced us that it was truth. Soon afterwards large flakes of snow like white winged birds tioated past the window
 and gave promise of a regular old fashioned
 snow storm which in its turn proved a delusion, as the next instant it was again
 raining, and by nine o'clock the sun shone
 as brightly and the clouds scudded away to-
 wards the north as innocently as if they had
 simply been out for moonlight sail with
 no intention ofwasting their moisture on the
 parched hills and valleys of Arizona. Later
 in the day it clouded up again, rained,
 hailed, blew, showed, shlned, and clustered
 by turns throughout the day.
