MORE LIGHTNING. -Barnesville seems
to be peculiarly blessed with that great
"air purifier" lightning. On Monday
evening, during violent storm, the steam
mill of Richard Hunt received a terrible
shock. The gable end of the mill was
nearly oil torn out, the centre post riyen
more than half way down. and some of the
pieces scattered ffty feet from the bull
ding. 1t is said that hundred dcllars
will be required to repair the damage.

THE FOURTH IN LEWISvILLE.


At the celebration of the glorious Fourth
in this place, there we're about 500 in at
tendance, including little and big, old and
young. The celebration was gotten up
expressly for the school children. The
youths from the adjoining districts met at
9 o'clock, with the school in Lewisville,
which is nnder the charge of Rebecca
Ann Davis, who, by the way, deserves
much praise for her efforts in getting up
the celebration.
Much credit is due to teachers, fathers
and mothers who are engaged in prepar.
ing our youths to be useful citizens. The
procession headed by the German Brass
Bard (clever fellows) marched from the
school house to the grove where every
thing was prepared for the occasion. The
officers and the band seated themselves OF
the stand, while the females occupied the
right and the males the left. The table
spread with dainties occupied the space
between them.
The smiling faces of the children, anc
all other things contributed to make it {
happy scene. The Declaration of Inde
pendence was read in German by Mr.
Clun, and in English by G. w. Watson
Esq. After this followed speech from

The Trouble IN the Minnesota Consti

The Trouble IN the Minnesota Consti-
ganizatlon.
The telegraph has apprised us that
there has been split in the Minnesota
Constitutional Convention. The Demo
Gratis and the Black Republican members
each organizing separately. The great
point of difference, according to the Min
nesota Pioneer, was this:
Whose duty or privilege was it to call
the convention to order and preside until
temporary organization should be, ef-
fected. The Democrats claimed that Sec
retary Chase was the proper individual,
and are fully sustained in that position by
precedents, the only rule governing such
matters in the absence of positive legal
enactment. The Wisconsin and Iowa
Constitutional Conventions were both
presided over until temporary organiza-
ton had been effected by the Secretaries
of those Territories, Notwithstanding there
was no provision of this character in the
acts authorizing the conventions to be
held. In States where conventions are
held for the purpose of forming new con-
stitutions, the Secretary of State is uni
versally acknowledged as the proper Off
Ger to call the body to order. We could
cite precedents of this character in almost
every State in the Union.

Late Republican Triumph in Paris.

Late Republican Triumph in Paris.
We take the following from the New
York Tribune:
"The political atmosphere" writes a
Hungarian refugee, in a private letter,
dated London, July I, "becomes again
more electric France seems to awaken
to political life, and people become once
more hopeful in old Europe" This is
said with reference to private matter,
but it is not the less significant. The re-
suit of the second election in Paris is the
muffled but unequivocal sounding of the
tocsin. "To talk of what the French
Provinces think" once observed the witty
Heine, ''is like speaking of what mans
legs think" intellectually, politically,
Paris is France; and Paris has now clear
ly pronounced against the Napoleonic
usurpation and despotism. Of the eight
Deputies chosen to represent Paris prop
er, five are unequivocal Republicans, head
ed by General Cayaignac. The three dis
tricts which have just voted a second time
have given an aggregate opposition ma
jority of more than 5000. They gave
little or none at the former trial. This
gain, in defiance of the immense patro-
mage and power of Imperialism in Paris,
is astounding. OF the thirty thousand
Napoleonic voters. probably full half
are dependent on the favor of the Gov
ernment, while the opposition have no
hope of Office or patronage. Could q
verdict be more decisive?
Italy isconvulsed by Republican throes,
though to what purpose cannot yet be de-
termined. Despotism in that unhappy
lard rests on foreign bayonets-but for
how long?
