LOCAL PARAGRAPHS.

There was q heavy rain yesterday
afternoon.
John Davis, colored, was arrested
yesterday for disorderly conduct and
carrying q pistol.
Owing to the want OF 8 quorum the
city council held no session yesterday
afternoon but met and adjourned to four
o'clock Monday afternoon.
The Gaze OF Sam BiZzell, the colored
barber who killed Columbus G. Stewart,
Wednesday, was heard before Recorder
Duff Yesterday. BiZzsli was committed
to jail without bail.
The attention Of those charitably
inclined is called TO the destitute cond1-
tiop of a family at No. SO Market street,
m stairs, Both man and wife are sick
and unable to help themselves, and are
in want Of the actual necessities of life.
We hope our ladies will see to them at
once.
We laaTn that Mr.. II. Loudon, who
has been awarded the contract for paw
ing the west side of Main street, has
gone up the,Ohio river for the purpose OF
securing the necessary stone for the work.
The paving OF Main street will be a
great benefit to the city, and we hope to
see the work commenced very soon and
finished with the utmost dispatch.
Alderman M'Cloy has introduced
an ordinance which provides that for all
taxes due prior to 1875 the city shall re-
ceive in payment thereof property to be
valued as property condemned for other
use. The ordinonce also provides that
where the value Of such property ex-
ceeds the amount of the taxes due the
surplus shall be placed to the credit OF
the delinquent owner, and that such
property be sold at public sale to the
highest bidder for bonds, coupons or
other city Indebtedness. The ordinance
deserves attention from the public as it
Is Of much importance to the citizens.
Yesterday afternoon Charles Moore,
q colored man, residing in the old fac
tory lot, Chelsea, borrowed q Bingham
umbrella from Amanda Steele, and upon
reaching home, just after the shower,
was assailed by his wife, who alleged
that he had no business with that rain
protector. Charles Moore, who is ten
der and devoted husband, struck his
snow-blossom, and she fell as il dead.
The husband then went to lift her up,
and was surprised that his wife was not
dead. His wife arose, and as he ran,
mot Of his own accord" she hurled a
brickbat which stuck Moore on the
occipitaI bone, and felled him to the
ground. 1t is not probable that he will
soon again borrow q gipgham or blue
cotton umbrella from Amanda Steele.

GREAT
REDUCTION OF BOARD

AT THE CELEBRATED ROCKBRIDGE
IA ALUM SPRINGS.-Owiug to the depressed
condition OF the country, the proprietor has
determined to lower his charges, that all may
be able to derive the benefits from the use OF
these Justly celebrated waters. They need no
recommendation, since they have so fully es-
tablished their 2 1Ciency through the thou
sands who have been brought from deaths
door to renewed health by the use of their
wonderful medicinal waters. Since last sum-
mer the Chalybeate Spring, which was opened
last year, has been thoroughly analysed by
Professor NJ. B. Harden, of the V. N. l., OF
Virginia, and by com parisOu shows 1t TO be
fully as strong as " Rawley" of carbonate OF
iron, having small quantity more than one
and q small quantity less than the other two
springs. SO IN addition TO the water that has
made these springs so famous, the proprietor
takes pleasure IN announcing that he can fur-
nish those who may need to drink either sep
aFately or in connection with the more cele-
brated waters Of these springs a pure carbon
ate of iron (chalybeate) water, inferior to
none, and equaled only by Rswley, in this
State. This at the very cheap rates, with &C
commodRtiOn fully up TO any previous year.
First month of four weeks, $50; two months
eight weeks, 500.

RAIN AND LIGHTNING.
A Market-street House Struck, and a
Lady Stunned-Crockery ShiVs
cred 10 AtOms-NO Other
Damage.

Between four and five O'Clock yester-
day afternoon 3 sudden lush of wiz d
came sweeping over the city, causing
signs and canvass awnings TO sway
about in a reckless manner. In few
minutes it commenced raining, and
what at first seemed but an April shower
soon became violent rain storm. The
streets were flooded, and the cutters
were soon running over, great Volumts
Of water whirling and dsshipg along
and around the pavement corners. The
rain continued about bali an hour,
during which time an urususly
large quantity OF water fell. In
fact, there was too much rain in this
locality, though it was doubtless needed
in several Of the rural districts. During
the rain storm there were several bright
flashes OF lighting, followed by loud
thunder. On one of the desks in the
APPEAL office the lightning flashed
quite fiereely, and the blsZa seemed to
jump about as il divided into balls of
fire. 1t is unnecessary to say that the
writer at the desk WAS not fascinated by
the strange beauty of the dangerous
fluid, but quickly retired to the far end
of the room where there were no iron
paper files, scissors and writing pens.
The lightning was undoubtedly 10
search # the exchange fiend, and would
have executed the vengeance 30 often
felt and not unfrequently expressed rela-
tive to this specits of the genus homo.
Finding that the occupant at the deck
was entitled to the place, the fluid
danced a hOrnpipe, and as quick
ly disappeared as it had come.
Mrs. Catherine Germans residence,
No. 1873 Market street, was struck by the
lightning, which entered the chimney
and after going through the kitchen
went out at the window. Mrs. German
was stunned by the lightning, but we
are glad TO know that she is not serious
ly injured. The crockery and queens
ware in thu Kitchen wee broken into
atoms, some Of the particles being scat
tered out into the yard. We have not
heard of any other accident from the
