RAIK, RAIN.—We have hard and almost hourly rains, and every shower appears to be harder. Last night there was the most frightful display of heaven'# artillery in the West and South that we ever recollect of witnessing.— Several times we saw balls of fire shoot up and burst like bomb shells, displaying the most- lurid forked lightning, while near the horizon a continued blaze was kept up^ It is said that one extreme follows another, and surely last season and this, is some evidence of its truthful,***.

We hear that some of the potatoes "have become water-soked, and exhibit signs of the rot. The corn cannot fill as usual, so great is the flow of sap. How the season will end is now bard *n. -•lyrass

last, the St. Louis 8 o'clock Express Trayi ran over a very large bull, a few hundred yards beyond the bridge on the Illinois side, and was thrown off the track, coming within a hair's breadth of being precipitated down an embankment twenty feet high. Fortunately, the train was stopped without any body being hurt. The bull was crushed into a jelly-fish, and a companion cow lost the half of a hind leg.— Vm. Qaz.«

Rumored Arrest of Townsend, the Murderer. The Detroit Tribune of Tuesday evening says:—"We were informed by a gentleman who came over the Canada Railway, that Toionsend, the murderer of Dennis, was arrested on the cars at Loudon, this morning. Townsend, with two others, it will be recollected, committed this murder some months since, near Cayuga, C. W., and his accomplices were taken, and suffered the penally of the law. Toumsend escaped, and has been the terror of the neighborhood, evading every attempt to arrest him, adding crime after crime to that of murder. The conductor of the up train recognizing the scoundrel on board the cai-R between Paris and London, and took effectual steps for his arrest at the latter place.

J3T A French officer near Sebastopol, was knocked down by the wind of a cannon ball, the shock of which was so great as to cause a paralysis of his tongue, BO that he could sot speak. He returned to Marseilles and placed himself under electrical treatment* After a few shocks he could move his toftgue, and at length, after an unusually powerful shock, his speech was restored, and he fullj recovered.
