A Soaking Rain.

The rain which began to fall here d>out 7 o’clock Sunday night, aud continued with little or no intermission until about nine o’clock this morning appears to have been general all over Jasper aud adjoining counties. Wherever it extended it was a regular soaker and will be all the rain needed for the corn crop. Here the total rainfall w r as 1.42 inches, or very close to *1 inches. Coining quite slowly it all soaked into the ground.
