Another pouring, drencbmg drowning rain

Another pouring, drencbng, drowning rain II
began in good season yesterday morning, aud con-
tirued through the day and into The nisnt without
cessation, and for part Of the time with extreme
violence. The entire rainfall of yesterday must
have been the greatest Of any day this year. 1t
doubtless caught some Grass, Rye add Wheat, aud
has beaten down and seriously damaged the npen-
ing Oats through all this region. We must hope
that it il seaboard storm, and did not extend far
inland.
Ran is an excellent thing in its season, but we
have had "some.hiDg too much" of it in this
quarter ever since the breaking up Of Winter. IL
has not been possible for many farmers and garden
ers TO till their fields properly, and many are now
10 cboked and matted with weeds that no crop can
be made. We believe, however, that this su-
pesabuodancs of rain is confined withia narrow
limits, and that the general harvest will be decided
~ good.

Massachusetts has just been divided by her Leg
irlature into eight Council and forty Senate Dis
tricts, in accordance with o recently adopted
amendment of her Constitution. Hitherto, the
Council has been chosen by the Legislature, while
the Senate was elected BY Counties, some choosing
six Senators, others but one, while the two island
Counties Dukes and Nantucket) together chose
but one. The change is o great improvement
The State is also to be distrcted for the choice Of
members of the House Of Representatives, who are
heneeforth to be restricted to two hundred and
forty, whereas they have been nearly double that
number. This, too, will be found to work WELL
Had the Democratic Free Soil coalition of l65O.5l
had the wisdom not to fight this system, it would
have been adopted years ago, along with the many
coed features Of their Reformed Constitution,
which was defeated because Of their error on this
point.

The People Of IOwa-more strictly, Of certain
localities in that State-have been somewhat tried
Of late by the audacity wherewith horse thieves and
other DalefactOrs have piled their trade in their
neighborhood; wherefore they have betaken them
selves to hanging tho supposed eslprits without
judge or jury. The latest case of this kind which
bas fallen under our nOtice-and it is said to be the
sixth which bias occurred within . few months-is
thus narrated in one of their local journals:
The Oskaloosa Qowa) Times, Of July 10, states
that Judge Stone on the 18th inst. opened Specla
Term Of his Court at Montezums, Poweshiek County,
for the trial Of VIM. b. Thomas, charged with the
murder Of Mr.. and MB. Casten, who are supposed To
have been murdered in consequence Of their bodies
having been discovered IN the woods near Monte
yuma last Fall Az soon the Court was opened,
Tbou as arose and asked for change OF venue, al.
letiDg that be could have hopes for fair trial in
that excited and exaspented nei9hborhood. The
Court granted the change Of venue. But no sooner
had the decision been made, than Q mob Of two
huIorsd armed persons seized the prisoner and took
him out Of the custody Of the Sheriff. They took him
outside Of the limits ofthe town and hung him without
going through even Ne formalties Of nook trial.
Judge Some followed the mob urging them to re.
,pea the laws but at length had TO leave the town
