RAIN sroRA.-Al day day before yesterday
there were indications of rain. The sky be-
tokened it and the air was humid. About
$50 a. NJ. yesterday precipitation began, and
it rained for three-quarters of sn hour hard.
During the rest of the dsy it was clondy, but
NO rain fell until P. NJ, when slight shower
was noticeable. A beautiful rainbow SPAWNED
the eastern heavens at $50 P. N. According
to the report of Signal Service officer Bar
wick the rainfall to s P. N. was one
tenth of an inch. The rainfall yesterday, as
measured by s. II. Gerrish, amounted to
300 OF an inch, making total for the season
of 1890 inches. The rainfall in 1881, for
the season to date was 25.722 inches; 1880,
% 705 inches; 1879 IL 81 inches; 1873,
% 092 inches; 1877, $50 inches; 1876,
% $50 inches. Rain does not seem exactly
the thing for June in Sacramento, but we
do occasionally get q little. June z. 1881,
we had $50 of an inch, and June TO- 1879,
.149 of an inch. In other seasons also we
have received small quantities. equal to this
year, as in June 10, 1875. when $50 fell.
Inquiry develops that no damage TO the crops
in this vicinity resulted from yesterdays
shower. The late grain will be benefited, as
also the volunteer feed, while the rain was
not sufficient to damage exposed hay.
