CASA GRANDE, Aug. 2Sth.

The first through trans from the east came in last evening after several days of delay caused by washOuts and a wreck near Pantano. Three trains of passenger trains following each other closely passed through last evening and then came long trains of freight so that we may now con slider the blockade at an end and travel will be able to continue without further interruption. A wind is blowing steadily which will help to diminish the moisture and once more make solid the ground. | The rapidity with which miles of road washed away has been reconstructed and dangerous places repaired has required an army of men, and the work accom- plished by the $. F. Company iu face of all the difficulties attending fierce storms, deserves commendation. On account of the accumulation of mail there is much extra work in the postotlice, and Johnny Woods, who is in charge, has been kept very busy. The people of Casa Grande have been practically out of the world without papers and letters these last few days but are once more themselves. The roads in all directions are in condition for travelling although somewhat rough. Sim English reports himself as having arrived safely in Globe drummers | from Globe say that the river Is high and the crossing at Riverside perilous, but as streams fall as rapidly as they rise, no doubt the river is fordable at the present writing.
 In all directions freight teams are nov ing out, we'll loaded, and also coming in i from different places, so that business seems once more established, and from the delays, in accordance with the laws of compensation, will be all the more ac- tive for while.
 | The summer weather Is over, and now that cooler days have come, even the chronic kickers confess We have had a de | hghtful season, with very little hot wealth CT It is very pleasant now, with cool mornings and evenings, and air spicy and odorous with flowers and herbs Almost every plant and shrub i'll this country has a perfume which Is called forth by every gentle shower. On the flats surrounding town where water has stood for time, 1t is like garden. Every footstep Is bur jed in flowers, and odors indescribably sweet float around you as you brush by the shrubs or tread upon the growing vegetation Things you have seen ill your grandmothers garden ages ago. comparatively. growing wild here and with far more luxuriance than when duly tended. The idea of calling this desert where everything grows so easily, seems strange one now. Loads of hay are brought into town from a little distance out, and far as the mountains which limit the range of sight, and as level as the sea, is the sea of living green.
 Judge Marshall's grape vines look very well and James Woods fruit trees are making quite showing. Some fig cut tings planted late in the spring have leaves like pumpkins and already three feet ill height of new growth, the cuttings having been planted below the surface of the ground and covered with two or three inches of earth. The trees ordered from the east are expected soon, when there will be a general improving and planting of grounds.
 Dr. H eavenston is fencing in his place of four acres surrounding his residence and will have a beautiful property when
 planted to trees. He has gone on bus
 mess trip to Benson and other places.
 As the news of Casa Grande's prosper ity is noised abroad, birds of prey come upon the scene in one gulse or another They are generally in search of work and
 pray to heaven they may not find 1t.
 Meantime they unblushingly accept as
 stance" in pecuniary way from anybody
 so foolish as to give it, and even solicit alms No doubt they sometimes visit or
 will visit Florence word to the wise is sufficient To those really deserving of
 charity assistance is freely given, for there are no more tender hearted than those
 here, who have themselves felt the arrows
 of adyersity, but like all tender hearted
 people they are sometimes imposed upon;
 still all this is forgotten when some new
 object of sympathy presents itself-as
 was this morning the case of poor Mex

 the washouts and rendered penniless by expenses. With hearty good will she is . being helped and is without doubt worthy.
