The Easter rain sign failed last Sunday and when old Sol poured forth his golden rays in such magni licent splendor as to make in doors a noxious place, many of the boys donned their white vests and last sum mer’s straw hat« and sallied forth in to the balmy breezes which blew with such terrific violence that their coat fails whipped their legs in such a manner as to cause the country school teacher’s gigantic exertions to dwindle into insignificance, and their hats were hurled unceremoniously into fhe muddy places in flu* streets or down some hack nllej. Some walked with their hands on their heads, others with tangled hair dung ling about their ears were seen running bare headed across streets and down alleys to recover a flying hat I.KNA. The M.

The preference of all the Itepubli can voters who came to town last week shows the following result: Arthur 12; Blaine 7; Lincoln 5; John Sherman 4; Ben Harrison 4; John A. Logan 3; Gresham 2; Nominee 1. An invention has been gotten up here, that will in all probability come into universal use—it is an attachment adjusted to the moul board of a sod plow, to pulverize the sod it adds but little to the draft—and leaves your sod field ready for the seed, when done breaking patent applied for. James Owens suggested the idea, and M. F. Manner improved and made it work. 0. K. Sionur HLAISF. M fill) Alin Congressman Bayne, of Pennsylvania. who is managing Blaine's pres ideutial interests in that State, has prepared an interesting array of tig ures. a copy of which is furnished the Indianapolis Journal of yesterday by its W ashington correspondent.

Now if you add all outside the Hlaine rote together you have but 101. Notably among these the votes for Logan. Sherman, Hawley and Fairchild an* complimentary. The delegates who will cast these votes, and the constituents oack of them, are at heart for Hlaine. In estimating, therefore, Blaine's real strength in the Hepublican States, there should be added to the305 votes that will be cast for him on the first ballot, ^*1 more, which shows that out of a total ot 4M delegates from Hcpuhlican States. Hlaine has 388, or nearly four fifths. Arthur has less than one-fifteenth, although he w ill he second in the convention.” The Journal editorially disposes of tlicso figures iti* its own satisfaction) vi*r.v summarily as follows: In this statement liidmna is put down for 3n votes for Mr. Hiaina. This disposes of the value of this “Hemi-otlieial” table. It is not worth the paper it is printed on. Anyone who knows enough of t he | ndiana de legal ion to warrant him in saying anything ahum it, knows that there is no more probability of such a vote being cast than there is of tie* State giving thirty vot^s fo. him on the first ballot. This Bayne interview is of a piece w ith all the folly and nonsense bring; printed in the "organs” of aspirants, one paper uominatirg Mi.

By the time they got there the smoke house adjoiniug was also in flames, and men were at work tearing off the boarding when a terrific explosion occurred with frightful result. A kettle containing ten dynamite cart ridges in falling to the floor had discharged, and the shock was heard for miles. There were soon a large number at the scene, and the wound ed were taken either to their homes or the nearest house and medical aid summoned from Gosport and Bloom ingtou. The examination proved that the kettle containing the dynamite was blown into a thousand pieces, none larger than minnie balls, three inch timber being pierced with them. * * It has been a terrible calamity, and the good citizens of Uletts ville are doing all possible to help the injured.
