for Goodhue. Republican, for State
Senate. 874 The county is estimat-
ed at 625 for Woodbridge, Democrat
Pratt, Republican, is elected to the
Legislature in this county by a small
majority. In the race for the Senate
the vote is very close. Woodbridge,
Democrat, is probably elected. Wood
ford is reported $50 Democratic; Jes-
samime county Is to 90 Republican
mojority.

In the Danville District, Vernon,

for the State Senate will he close.

lecan, to the Legislature by small
majority. Jessamine county elects a
Radical candidate for the Legislature

sible that Burns, Republican, has been
elected to the State Senate from the
Lebanon district. Otherwise the Dem.

ial from Lexington says Goodloe, Re
publican, has a majority of 90 for the
State Senate, but in one precinct the
negroes took fOreibIe possession O
the polls, and the judges refused Il
sign the POLL books. The vote of thi:
precinct will probably be thrown out
and Woodbridge, Democrat, will ther
have majority.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 4-The new
Court House and jail at Richmond,
Ind, being completed, the Commis-
sioners of Wayne County met at Cen
terville, the old county seat, this
morning, and ordered the removal of
the records to the former place. Wa
gons from Richmond were being load
ed in the Court House yard when the
citizens of Centerville fastened the
gates, sent for Judge Johnson to
Cambridge, and got temporary re-
straining order. In the meantime
bells were rung, cannon fired, and the
whole community in the vicinity OF
Centerville gathered at the Court
House, and the widest excitement
prevailed for time. The wagons
were finally unloaded and returned to
Richmond empty, and the excitement
quieted down.

= San Domingo is enjoying rev
olution. Our ship of war, bolstering
up Baez, cut off this accustomed en-
jOyment of the republic for q long
time. Now they are resuming their
normal state. To them it is equiva-
dent to a reconstruction; to accepting
the situation; to the Constitution as it
wss. A formidable array of chiefs,
experienced-in revolutions that is to
say, in San Domingo statesmanship-
have signed the pronunclamento
against Beaz. They call hin traitor
for selling SANTANA Bay. And what is
more, they prove it; for their Con
stitption forbids alienation of the ma.
tiOpal territory. OF course Baez is 6
traitor. He would have been much
more q traitor had we bought him oui
at his price. This is the way the sar
DOminicnns have always revised these
transfers of their country to foreign
powers. The ywho bought it had dpt

FOEg OF err
Lafayette, QHd.l Journal
NFo- ,o ,,oIo I, =.

tL~tilNC JtE, NI1t'y cOuii HILL.
Mention was made & short une
since of the fall Of a wonderful
acFolite in the lower part Of this
county. Yesterday we met Nr.
Harter, who discovered it upon
his farH:. near Romney. The
fragments in all, 1t is supposed.
Will amount to about a THOUSAND
pounds in weight, and some fea
lures are presented which will
be of great interest to scientit:
men. The aerolites heretofore
found are of q solid and metallic
nature, having evidently struck
the earth as compact bodies.
This one is entirely different.
From the traces it is easily deter
mined that the vast descending
globe came hurting through the
air in one glowing, molten mass,
and that at the moment of its
impingement it was in a liquid
state. The fragments are hon
eycombed like a cinder. and vary
greatly in their weight. It is
further evident that the globe
was hollow, from the s~moothness
of the concave parts. The out
side presents the appearance Of 81
soft body that has struck upon
solid particles, as the indention
of grass blades, straws and sticks
| are plainly d~iscernjhle.
One of the fragments had fall
en- on a large stick OF wood. and
conforms to it exactly. The very
texture OF the wood can be seen.
Further than this, all around the
spot where the main body fell
were found Numerous little balls
of the same material varying
from a shot to an ordinary sized
marble.
They were perfect spheres, and
can be accounted for on no othe1
hypothesis than that the rapid
revolution of the liquid mass in
its descent threw off these rarti
Giles by centrifugal force. Parts
of the material have been sub.
jected to intense heat without
the | east effect being produced
and they show unquestionuble
evidence of ingenious action. A
box of these fragments will bt
shipped to the Smithsonian II.
stitute, and the remainder are in
tended for the Purdue Aglicul
tural college.
