LOGAN. 3 BUSINESS SUMMARY


The weather.
Spring has been very cbary Of her favors
and sunshine Of its CLEANS this year. As IT IN
revenge for our JOY atits departure, Winter has
left US q legacy of winds and rains with only
rare intervals of brightness, until the appear
ance of the sky seems almost to have become
a permanent illustration of the word-painting
of great writer:-"Large masses OF black
cloud, following one another like train OF g.
ants, in sullen silence, answering the azure
smiles of Heaven that CLEAN between, with
vulcanian frown.", We are not hopeless, how
ever those 'a'azuro smiles" assure US that
somewhere %
"Behind the clouds is the sun still shining"
and as all things earthly have an end, we may
look forward with confidence to cessation OF
the dripping rains, and for the bright shining
of the Summers sun, ere long.

o'clock, a fire was discovered in one of the sta
bles on the Brookfeld farm, about six miles
from Richmond, owned by Mr.. Abraham War

raging so furiously as to render it impossible
to save the animals, which, to the number of
sixteen horses and mules, were utterly con-
sumed. An adjoining stable, which was emp

the ground. A diseased horse having died in
the stable, the building was cleaned out, and
lime was sprinkled on it, and about 7 o'clock
ON Thursday evening beds Of fresh straw were
made for the horses, and possibly the straw
took fire from the Stacking lime. OF the actual
origin of the fire. however, We are not Informed.

Especial Dispateh to the Baltimore Sun.l
WASHINGTON, May l9th.-TenneSSeeans Just
arrived here, and letters from prominent citi-
zenS Of that State, tell us if Gov Brownlow
and the entire radical ticket, including all their
Congressman, shall not be elected, it will be
difficult to explain why. The way is prepared
with certainty Of success by the regime laid
out by legislation. A collision of races is con-
Sdered inevitable ere long. Franchise is the
will of the Governor, who has power to set
aside registration, or have registration made to
subserve his purposes, with an armed militia
to enforce his will. Already the registration
in nine counties has been annulled and set
aside by Gov. Brownlow.
The annual sale Of article remaining in the
dead letter Office, which is advertised TO take
place here tomorrow, includes several thou
sand articles. The list embraces almost every
article of wearing apparel, jewelry, medicine,
&c, most Of them for ladies. Among these
are false breasts, shoulder braces, hair, hoop
skirts, curriers', baby clothes, white enamel
bloom for complexion, hair dyes, hair restorers,
hair uprooterS, vitalizng recuperatorS, strength

In the U. s. Circuit Court in Richmond, on
Wednesday week, Mr.. Bolts, Foreman Of the
Grand Jury alluded to the rumor, published
in the newspapers, that the Grand Jury had
indicted Gen. John c. Breckenridge and Henry
W. Thomas, of Fairfax, and stated by authori-
ty that their names had not been yet brought
before them. Judge Underwood thereupon re-
marked that there was no credit TO lie placed
in street rumors or newspaper publications.
As far as be was personally concerned he did
not care for either, especially the latter. He
cautioned the Grand Jury not to disclose any
Of their proceedings before the proper time.
