Lightning struck in several places in the Rio Virgen, killed one sheep, knocked Joseph I. Earl and son, aid nephew down. The thresher is now running. . Our harvest of grain is quite good. The second crop of lucern is now ready for cutting. Cotton is looking well but gen-w gen-w erally there is not a very good r, stand. We have excellent prospects for an abundant grape prop but there ; will be but very little other fruit, i The health of the people in this vicinity is very good at present. I Yours Truly, G. AV. Lee.
