THE WEEPING SKY.
sIyGUIAR METEOROLOGICAL PHENOMENON AT
MOBILE,
From the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register.
For seyeral days there have, been myster.
ious and vague rumors of a most remarkable
meteorological phenomenon Z 1T at the Cath
Ollie graveyard on Stone street, above the
Three Mile cretk. 1t is asserted by those
who say they have Been it that for the last
five days gentle shower has fallen contin.
uously on the lot OF the Lemoine family, In
which are buried Mr.. Victor Lemoine and
getting at the facts of this most extraordinary
affair, we had last night an interview with
Mr.. Louis b. Lemoine, employed at asa
Hollis, 3 son of the deceas Victor Lee
moline, who died In 1851, who related the fol-
lowing startling particulars:
Having heard that it was reported that II
had been raining for several days on the In
closed ground which forms my family bury.
ing ground in the Catholic burying GROUND
on Stone street, above the Three Mile creek,
drove out there last evening to satisfy my
self, and to my intense a6tonishment saw
that column of rain Was coming down
without ceasing, which although hardly
powerful enough to lay the dust, was enough
to wet the hands or any article, ana at times
it rained very hard. The volume OF rain fell
inside ofthe Enclosure and nowhere else, as
the weather was, and has been bright and
clear allth time, during the five days the
rain has been falling Oh these graves. There
are thirteen OF my family buried In the lot
OF ground upon Whlcn IL mas Oeen TAtnluS'
Nv mother brother and sisters visited the
spot yesterday and the day before to satisfy
themselves about the truth OF this matter,
and declare that they too saw this wonderful
phenomenon It has also been seen by over
two hundred persons.
Itook friend with me when l visited the
spot, who also saw the rain falling as de-
scIibed Mr.. John Rosset, the keeper of the
cemetry, told me that the rain had COM
menced falling in heavy drops about FIVE
days ago am willing 20 take my oath as
TO the truth of this statement"
So incredible did this extraordinary affair
seem that those who saw it.severat days ago
RETAINED from stating or asserting what they
had seen, for fear that not only their veracity,
but their sanity, would be questioned, and it
was only until number ofgentlemen OF the
frat respectful lity had seen and reported the
result of their personal observations any
eredence was attached to the truth of the
matter. Take it altogether 1t Is certainly
the most astonishing and miraculous atmos
pheric wonder that has ever been witnessed
in this part of the world, and will doubtless
afford abundant food for thought, research
and Observation, not only among scientific
men, but among all classes. There are SO
many VINO, Youch for the truth of Mr. Le-
MONIES statement, and his character tor
veracity is such, that there can no longer be
any doubt of the fact that it has been raining
for the past five days on the graves of his
kindred Sid K4tE hi -

The Wear and Tear of Business Life.

The cares and labors of business life are apt to
tell severely upon the health and constitution OF
the ardent, energetic business man, and when the
need of some sustaining agent is felt, stimulants
that cause only a temporary exhilaration, and
leave the system in a state of partial collapse
when their first effect has passed off, are too often
resorted to. AS certainly as fire leaves behind it
a residuum of ashes, the use of the adulterated
liquors of commerce prod uces premature exhaus-
ton and decay. Touch them not. Tone and reg
ulate the Overtaxed vital machinery with Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. In that wholesome
elixir, the alcoholic element, which is the purest
derivaDle from any source, is tempered by the
choicest tonic, aperient, anti bilious and anti
febrile vegetable extracts and juices. To
strengthen, recruit, solace and purify the system
is the mission of the great vegetable specific.
When the stomach is in healthy state, the bile
flows regularly. the bowels perform their office
properly, and the Geographic fbres of the ner-
vous system are in perfect working order. an
enormous amount of labor can be borne without
risk inconvenience, and the direct effect of the
Bitters is to promote this vigorous condition OF
the functions upon which the punishment of the
body, and its power of endurance, mainly depend
The great tonic and Alternative is, therefore. EN-
phatically recommended for its remarkable
strengthening properties, to all upon whom the
responsibilities of life press heavily and who feel
like fainting under the burthen. A lively appe
tite, splendid digestion, elastic spirits, and 8
marvellous ability to Withstand fatigue, are
among the blessings. justly ascribed to the reno,
waiting operation of this palatable and powerful
cordial, and as a spring and summer Alternative
there is nothing in the matera medica that can be
cOmpared with it.

Flax Culture and ThreShing.

Flax growing has become an interest o
magnitude in some parts of the country, and
is extending to new sections. Nearly mil
lion acres were grown in the interior States
last year QS69). It's culture is found profita-
BILE, and is likely to be greatly stimulated, now
that there is market, not only for the seed,
but for the fiber, and also an economical
method of threshing and saving the seed In
addition to numerous oil mills which consume
. the seed at remunerative prices, many fax
mills for the manufacture of the fiber or tow
into bagging, are in operation, of which Ohio
has thirty -four, Indiana ten, Illinois six and
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa. Mis-
souri, and Kentucky one to three each. One
impeachment to flax culture heretofore has
been the incapacity of ordinary threshing ma
chimes to thresh it economically, owing to the
tendency of the fiber or tow to catch and
wind on everything it comes in contact with.
This difficulty, however, seems to be over
come by the Aultman & Taylor Thresher,
made at Mansfield, Ohio, which is said to
handle flax with as little trouble as any other
grain. 1t appears that the same features
which give this thresher an advantage in wet
and.. bad conditioned wheat, oats, etc.,-viz.
the entire absence ofrevolving shafts, beaters,
pickers, raddles and rollers from the straw
passage, and the peculiar and effective method
employed to thoroughly shake the grain and
seed out of the straw-enable it to take
through the hitherto troublesome flax tow
without hindrance, and turn out the seed
with remarkable rapidity, fit for market
