 Prese.tt was again to-day visited by
 nice rain. The surrounding country ha
 been siighted. No doubt favors bestow-
 ed upon Prescott is because O: the purit,
 of its inhabitants Er Captain Roberts, of Gen. Crooa . staf is at Whipple. He came up from Bowie on official business, and it is thought h
 will take some of the colored troops in:. the field from this part If the Territory. 
 It will be remembered that we advertised for an image of St. Peter. It yas fosthoom ing and sure enough with 1t came the much needed rain. This water saint is now laid away in the Governors ofics. where it can
 be seen by the curiousiy inclined.

 Jake Marks, an old timer, and Mr. Gold man of Phrnix, arrived in town list evsn- ing from Salt River. They are up for !, epol of and to enjoy . few days of rest and elmfort away from the double distilled dus' dhtrict and fiery pits, only equAlled by those said to exist in Sheol. ,

 al cit'zsns, has returned from visit to
 ohave county and his stock ranch st Old Camp Date Greek. From the latter place he was accompanied by his partner, James Oneal. They state that the ooultry is very thirty and Grass dried up.

 We presume lawyers, old and young, will, sometime before they shuttle of this mortal coil, learn to pay the Court proper respect. It is true that attorneys have their rights, but it is equally true that Judges are placed upon the bench to hear evidence and deter mine points of hw, also to keep order. To find one of this stripe you will not have to go outside of Prescott.
 P. M. Fishsr, the whclesouled, jolly of Cob Web Hall, pl.es only equalled by tle celebrated Stokes place in New York City, gave grand blowout to his numerous friends belonging to the Tough Fire Brigade, last evening. 4 splendid time was had and merriment ran high. The boys will remember Gao, and never allow the Fire King to get the best of him.
 Hon. J. C. Herndon made an able argu. ment to-day in defense of Mir. Udell, eharved with perjury. It is peculiarly strange that .. s. District Attorney Zsbriskis should go to Apache county for a case of this nature, when he could have caught onto several clear, clean cut cases right here in Yavapai county. All crimes known to u, were com mitted Ut Democrats, hence haten of our government.

T. J. Butler has met the General, became ac- quainted, and is probably the oply man that ever invited Grant to Arizona. The great warrior answered that he had for long time desire to visit the Territory, md thought that at some time he might do 70.
