 At this point in his career Louis Dugas had compassion on him and took him to lis rnch, on the Lower Agua Ffia, where ae has now been two or three months away from the temptations of the town, and Louie informed us yesterday that he is so changed for the 5etrtr in appearance that his old &C., quaintanccs would scarcely kaow him.

 This is what we hear about Jimmy-Be- hind the Stove, and trust il will not be un- welcome intelligence to those who, having missed his mibliiihous voice and manly form from the streets of Prescott, have wondered whether he had wandered of into the will, derness or been exhaled by spontaneous combustion and floated away as a spiritual existence into the realms of ether.

God love the man, woman or child, who. ever It may have been, who, during the ab- sence of the MINER force at breakfast this morning, clandestinely left luscious water melon on the imposing stone in this office.

The Flood at Coughs.

A. $. Ciough, whose ranch below the Point of Rocks was flooded on Sunday, was in town to-day and represents his fine gar den to be in woeful plight. Beets, tur- nips, cauliflowers, cabbage, potatoes, onions etc, etc, all completely buried in sand His orchard, one of the finest in the county, is badly washed, some of the trees taken out bodily by ,he roots, others partly under mined and bent over, while all are more or less injured by the hail. Ills plums are nearly all knocked of and many apples and peaches shared the sane fate.
 Al one lime he thinks the waves ran ten fec; high over part of bis lands, and apples, peaches and plums were floating down the stream by the bushel. He estimates his actual loss, to say nothing of the in convenieuce and disappointment to which it subjects him, at over thousand dollars.

Prescott Theatre oo the eve of his depirtare from Prescott was, we learn, all thzt could have been de sired by those who were instrumental in getting it up. Preparations were made on a grand scale; the decorations of the hall correspoaded wish the other arrangements and reflected credit on the taste 0f the la- dies having the matter in ca&rge.
 Tine reception committee consisted of Messrs Bean, Lewis, Bufum, Miss Bashford and Mrs Bean and Mrs. Fisher. After all pres eut had greeted the guest of the evening the grand march was played and lead and dancing commenced and continued until II o'clock, when refreshments were served. The elegant supper, prepared by Mrs. Buf- fun, Mrs Bsaa ana Mrs. Lewis, has never been surpassed in Prescott; the tables were decorated as none other than the taste ofthOse ladies could have devised. T0asas were of. cred by Messrs Hall, Bean. Mas;erson and others, and responded to by Col Martin.
 Snpper being over dancing was resume d until two o'clock this morning, when the friends bid the Dr. farewell, with the sad realization that
