WHAT A PITY.--While party of
young men, evidently Of the Seymour
critter company. were walking
along the line of the procession on
Friday night, one of them was heard
to remark, =" l have full suit of gray
laid away, and would like to wear it
on the occasion of the Democratic
demonstration. but the majority of
the boys are opposed to it. I would
like to wear it on that occasion. "
What a pity this young patriot was
overruled. He ought to have the
privilege of wearing the gray once
more by all means. What overbear-
ing comrades be must have. sasq Il

A NOTABLE feature of the process
sion was that almost every banker
and bondholder in the city was in
line.-Comier.
We were not able to discover any
representatives from the Merchants
National Bank, and we think there
were quite a number of Democratic
Government bondholders of this city
who were not found in the Grant
army on Friday night.

RAIN AND THUNDER STORM.-A
light rain fell here yesterday after
noon, lasting but short time. At
night, however, dense black clouds
gathered in the northwest, aud for an
hour or more the earth was fairly
aglow with almost continuous flashes Of
lightning. accompanied by an nnceas-
ing roar Of thunder. About quarter
to 8 o'clock it commenced raining, and
up to 9 o'clock it poured down in tor
rents.
The rain was timely, and greatly
needed by the growing crops. The
formation and direction of the clouds
indicated that the rain was general,
and we doubt not it will serve to in
crease the swell in the river now COM
irg from Pittsburg and Cincinnati.
Tie thunder and lightning was terri
bly, grand ana fearful.
Another heavy rain fell about Ii
o'clock, which was also attended
with the widest display of lightning
and thunder. The Streets and gut
ters we're flooded, aud the waters
rushed out of the big sewers with an
almost deafening roar.
The sluice, from the mouth Of Syc-
amore Street sewer to the river, gave
way, being undermined, and great
chasm washed out. The pavement
had sunk Immediately at tie
mouth of the sewer when The water
first fell this Summer. If it b ID been
repaired it would have saved hun
dreds of dollars to the city.

THE SPIRIT IN KENTUCKY.-A few
days ago, gentleman who resides in
Paducah, and has been connected
with the Freedmen's Bureau in that
place, visited South Carrollton, Ken
lucky, for the purpose of engaging in
teaching school. While there he re-
ceived letter, of which the following
is a copy. We give ir as an evidence
of the spirit of toleration in some
parts of that State. The gentleman
to whom the letter was addressed
concluded that discretion was the
better part of valor, and took his de-
partnre from South Carrollton at
once:
Mr.. Bureau-The people of South
Carlton are indignat at your visit.
Ihey want no scallewags nor Yankee
eearpet-baegers here, and they will not
have them. Then we would advise
you to leave on the boat. You can
not remain here longer.
