THE LoNG DROUGHT BROKEN. — The
drought was broken on Mouday aud while
not enough rain fell to start the flow of
water in the streams and wells which bad
gone dry, there was enough to replenish
the cisterns, wet the ground so that the
grain already sown will sprout and grow
and enable the farmers who have not yet
done #0 to complete their seeding. And
‘| another good result of the rain was the ex. |
tinguishing of the mountain fires which
have done so much damage, and purifying
the amosphere,
Monday it was jnst forty-two days since
any rain bad fallen in this place. The first
day there was a succession of storms, in the
afternoon and evening the rain descending
in torrents. The result of the rain has been
very much cooler weather ; in fact it was
80 cold on Tuesday morning that ice was
noticed in some places.

THE DEVIL.— While it is pataral for
most people to quake a little with fear
when the devil is mentioned, yet the play
of that name, which has bad quite a ron in
New York and Philadelphia, is said to be
one worth seeing. ‘‘The Devil” is a modern
story of a man and a woman battling with
the temptation of forbidden love, whose
resolutions and virtuous purposes are event-
ually overcome by the artful machinations
of “The Devil.” In spite of their resist-
ance, he fans she spark of passion that she
woman, unhappily married, struggles to
extinguish, weaving about them a taugle
of circumstances and falseappearances from
which they are unable to extricate them-
selves. Is will be at Garman’s on Monday

Hor Dispute OVER LiNe FENCE.
—Residents in the vicinity of the Penn.
sylvania match factory were treated to con-
siderable excitement on Tuesday morning
when C. E. Cooke, J. L. Montgomery and
employees of the match company got into
a lively altercation over a line fence be-
tween the Cooke property and the match
company property. On Monday the match
cotupany had a naw fence ereoted where the
oll one stood. Tuesday morning Mr.
Cooke aud a force of men went to work
demolishing the fence. As fast as the fence
was torn down by Cooke and his men it
was rebuilt by the matoh company em-
ployees under direction of Mr. Montgomery.
Compliments flew around as thick as fence
posts and finally the two principals bad
one round of the manly art, but as neither
was in training no damage was done.
Finally Cooke and his men withdrew from
