 Granite mountain and the barren hills in that direction seem to have been 1renched
 with copious showers of rain several times of late. while the parched valleys, where it is needed to bring out the crops have been almost entirely sighted.
 Quite an interest is springing up in the subject of prayer. as a pecuniary inves l. ment, since the preacher last night gave so cumulation of worldly wealth, and all drawn from actual occurrences in real life.
 The papers speak of Ex. Gov. and Mrs.
 Stafford, of Arizona, being at Long Branch a short time since Now the question arises who is Mrs. Stafford of Arizonal Has the Gov. gone and got married, without even so much as sending cards to his Arizons friends!
 Henry Wickenburg has been to town with another load of spuds, and started home this afternoon in the face of threatened rain storm, daring the clouds to drench him with as much rain as they chose to send. He says he would risk good sized water spout, and stand on; in it, if it would insure the earth a good wetting.

Bryan's large freight teams were unloading this morning at various stores, and other places about town, including the courthouse for which they had the large 800 pound clock bell, the MINER office, which received supply of paper, and for Fort Whipple, for which they brought quite lot of stores.

 Exposition, is the name of the new paper started at Yuma. Havn't seen it but hear of copies in town. It would seem to be a case where somebody's courage got the bet ter of his judgment. Everybody has always admired the courage of the little bull that tried to butt the locomotive off of the bridge, but nobody has the least respect for his judgment.
 Mrs. J. ". Kelsey has rented her place, in Kirkland Valley, to family, who will keep regular station for stage and other travel, as we'll as for teamsters and all who wish to patronize them.

 Some one stuck placard on the back portion of Fisher S Co.'S store last night or this morning purporting to be congratu- latory letter from Pope Leo XIII, 60 the Board of Supervisors of Yavapai County, them dissolution for their sins in of their kindness to his church in awarding the contract for taking care of the Indigent sick to the Sisters of Charity, 1 etc.
 The writer evidently regarded it as witty effusion, but those who read itseemed to re- gard it as a cowardly assault by some ono who had not the courage to tell the Board | what he thought of them face to face.
 The Courthouse clock bell arrived by | Bryan's train this morning Its tone was tested by Supervisor Curtis, and pronounced | perfect by the public, who heard its silvery tones.
 l.. Wollenburg rJcited a poem from schiller, in German, with responses by Gus | sulogistic of the music of bells in general, md each by-stander made few original re- marks of his own, e7incing general inter- ,st in bells, and particularly in this 800 pound bell which is to ring the hours of the lay and night, in the tower of the Yavapai John Silsbee thought it ought O be painted, and was immediately fred ,ut 2 and told by the Supervisors that there vas no show for a job.
 Thes bell will be immediately hoisted to ts place, after which the work of setting np he machinery of the clock will begin.
