To accomplish all of which, many thousands of dollars will have to be expended, and Prescott. with her lumber market, will come in for share of the spells.
 1.-THE SoNG OF HEAVEN. J. L.. McKeehan, on Sunday evening preached an excellent discourse from the text, Reyela- lions V: 9.-"And they sung new song" The theme, ssThe Song of Heaven," was beautifully illustrated by apt metaphor and choice selection of words eloquently spoken. The conception of gloriied spirits being waited to heaven on the gentle tones of harps, buoyed on the way by the voice of .song, was exceptionally fine; but in passing to notice the arrival of the redeemed in Paradise
 where Angelic legions with harps tuned classical,
 Harrnoniously join in concert of praise,'
 the new song to be sung there, is beyond description, and can only be realized by those whose experience shall teach them after having put on immortality.
 Prentice once said, after taking with Julia Welby, that her ordinary conversation was elegant poetry. "In fact" sad he, "she can talk the most sublime poetry by the hour" We thought MT. McKeehan evinced a similar gift, in his discourse last night.
 RATHER FAsr-The lightning during the past few days has been paying smash gen. orally. A tree was torn to pieces and set on fire just north of Fort Whipple, near the Post garden on Friday, and on Satur- day. two pine trees near the residence of J. J. Buckman, were struck demoralizing them somewhat. Mir. and Mrs. B. happened to be out at the time, and they were thrown to the ground, but without serious injury. Four or five calves and horse, were also capized in MT. Buckman's yard. About the same time, and on the same day, it struck the top of a cottonwood tree in the yard of MT. Joseph Ehle, cutting of two limbs. The family were stunned from the sharp report and flash from the electricity. The rod running into the we'll from George Lount's windmill was also visited by pass ing messenger from the clouds, which passed into the we'll. Birthstone is healthy appetizer, and George proposes to drink 1 water charged with all the combustible | particles contained in s'thunder and light hing" MT. Charles Spencer tells us that | he was close by, when zig-zag streak l dropped into the ground near Goldwater' s | store. He tasted phorphrous for some time, and his friends were afraid to come in close proximity to him, thinking he might | gnite. Near Thumb Butte, and the resi- 1 fence of D. c. Mitchell, number of pine rees were torn to pieces, they happening o be in line of the lightning charger on lis rampage. Would it not be we'll to place lightning rod on our new and ele- ,ant county building9
