Vfiry decidedly The' heaviest rain. of the season fell here yesterday evening, begining at 6 or 7 o'clock and continuing for an hour and a half or two hours. The rain fell literally in torrents ; the streets were flooded with water, and in 8om e places it was a perfect sheet, extending from one side of the street to the other. Great holes were wash ed in the pavements on some of the streets. The rain was preceded by terrific claps off thunder and the m gVv'.v'ul flashes pf lightning. We fear that much damage has been done to the crops, particularly in the lowland. . . Mayor's Coitrt. The irrepressible Frank Cnlbertson, colored, was be fore Mayor.

Almost all of our citi zens who are in the mountains or at the watering places have the Observ er sent to them, and if they fail to get it regularly kick up a fuss. All of which speaks well for the Observer- Whenever a man makes a fuss about not getting his paper on time, we begin to feel good for him. It shows that he is in the enjoyment of his mental faculties, and that his mind runs in the proper channel. The Receivership of the A. T. & O. R. R.
