One of the IiIikmI curdling eircm.tances vonnccted with the Uncle Tom's Cabin show, Tuesday of last weok, was the rckhs manner in whic:h those man-eatingk redfanged blood-hounds were bundled in the "urand" parade. In an iron-barred cage, but open to public view, stalked bick and lortli thoxo savage animjk, liable at any moment to tear the cage into splinters and pounce iipn the uiimiipectiug jwnple that thronged the streets. It was taking too man" chances with an innocent populac and popular indignation kuevr 110 hounds when the people generally were informed of the manner in which they had been exposed to the tender mercies of those wild and untamed cur dogs. They were dangerous because they were hungry. ' .': In the springof 1885 Prof. J. W.

Bryan stopped the ball with thii bridge of his nose, which was bad ly broken as a result, and that prominent facial ircmber was never gotten into as good a ohapV as it ought to have been for the benefit of such a prince of good fellows as is Bryau. Of lute years this breaking down of his nose has iierioualy interterred with Bryan's bireatbing, and he is now n odergoing 11 course of surgical attention for this trouble at EvanRton, Ills.

The remains of Dr. Ju dah were brought to Bloomiogton for burial. On the forenoon of last Wednesday tbe Uniooville Old Settlers, had quite an interesting meeting. The rain begun to descend in the afternoon, however, and further proceedings were deferred till next year. The new explosive that is largely depended upon to bring rain, by the Government experimental corps, out in Texas, is a mixture termed "rackarock, a mixture of dynamic and oxyhydrogen gas. "To them that hath shall be given'1 was illustrated in the finding by Henry R borer's family, on his premises, of over one hundred dollars in silver coin. The farm is located three miles south of Bloomington, and at one lime was the property of Joshua Hoover. There is a woods pasture opposite the house, and some of the men on the place were cleaning it up. While a log was being dragged on the ground a half dollar was thrown up nd promptly discovered by a lad, who was with the workers. He carried it to the house. Some of the female membersi of the house hold suggested lhat it might bo at well to search further, as more might be found. Tbe lad (a sou ol' Congressman Cooper) returned te the wcods pasture, some, two hundred yards distant, set about dig ging industriously, ind was reward ¬ ed by finding a lurge number of old silver coins, amounting, & value, to $103. Tbe coins wer lying loose in the ground, without the enclosure ot tho traditional pot or kettle. Among the pieces were 142 silver half-do!!lars, the latest date upon which is 1839 the others being older. Tho oldest piece in 'Spanish, and dated 1795, about as large as the American dotlai:. Among tbe pieces pronounced moot rare in the collection arc thouc from Mexico, Italy, France and Spain. The coin in in a splendid i state of preservation, seeming nevir to have been used. Many of the pieces are so rare that their value is greatly enhanced as curiosities, and the collection may sell as a whole fr several hundred dollaia; A half-dozen theories have beon advanced to account for this deposit, and aa each reader is entitled to bis views on the subject the Progress will permit t hem to work it out to suit themselves. Tbe money him been on exhibition at S. K. Rhorcr's store.

Franklin Morrison of Salem has purchased from Addison Smith the eight acres of ground formerly owned by Matthew McPhetridge, raying $KU0.

Bob Wilson, Deputy Sheriff, left Bloomiogton on Saturday for. ;olutnbua, U., where he was sum moned as a witness in the eoort martial of Hoard, the deserter from the regular army, captured and returned by him. People in Bloomiogton imagined that the raiu of Sunday night u week was the heaviest they had experienced, but it wasn't a circumstance to that of Thursday night last. Thursday night Aug. 20, 1891, will pass into history as tbe date of one of the fiercest electric raiu storms ever experienced here. For three hours the rain poured down in torrents, accompanied by constant and dinfening thunder, while the lightning flashed continuously seeming to be a steady blase of vivid light. The level streets were covered with water to adeptbofsix to. ten inches, and the cutters wen; two or three feet in depth. The little stream, that rnns past Waldron's tannery was filled with a torrent over twelve feet deep, and could not be restrained within its channel, but rushed sullenly over the top aad spread over a space sixty feet wide. While tbe storm was at its height the locomotive engir.es sounded an alarm of fire, end it was seen that the steeple of St. Charles Catholic church had been struck by light ning, just tinner the cross, aud was burning slowly slowly bemuse the torrents of rain held it in check but did not extinguish it. Some of the boys got out the steamer but while crossing the railroad near the depot the flood of water that was hurrying south drowned out the fire, and it was necessary to break into a careiitei' shop near by and procure shavings and blocks to start it again. After tbe engine got fairly at work tbe fire-was scon controlled. The flood in the eastern part ol the towu was a repetition of that of the Sunday night previous : walk and bridges were washed away ; the Holtaman house, occupied by C. R. Perdue, had about five inches of water io it for the second time ; thousands of spokes were carried from Waldron, Hill & Co.'s factory by the raging waten, tbe Third street bridge floated away and is now at Evansville, perhap. Rev. Rati iff of the A. M. E. church was again a sufferer from the visit of the flood to hiii dwelling house; children were carried out on parents' backs, and everything in that portion of town had a "damp, disgusting" appearance. Lightning struck John Beatty's house, in the southeast part of town, also Rufus Adams' in the northeastern vomer, trees were struck oa Maple Hights, Prospect Hill and west of town, but fortunately no liven were lost, though 6veral hundred people were almost scared to death. The damage by fire and water to the Cstbolio church was about $300, wilhuut iuburaiice,
