Early Tuesday morning copious rain
commenced falling. continuing all that day
and large part of yesterday. AT times the
rain fell in torrents and the streets became
miniature rivers. IL was much needed
storm, however. Farmers had begun to
fear that drouth was Imminent, but this
rain will set all such apprehensions at rest
for the present. On the other hand let IT be
hoped that the season will not prove too wet.
Last year, it will be remembered. at this
time so much rain fell as to put stop to
planting operations and crops suffered from
being planted too late. Much seed has al
ready been placed in the ground, many farm
ers having planted their potatoes and corn.
Irass is looking finely and two or three more
good rains will insure bountitul hay crop.

Walking matches frequently occur in
brilliantly lighted halls amid the stirring
strains of band music and with a cheering
crowd at hand. But a foot race took place
on Tuesday which possessed none of these
pleasing features. The contestants were
two knights of the razor of this city. They
laid a wager as to which should arrive from
this city, at the Soldiers Home, Togus, first,
and started out on Tuesday evening last at
about 9 o'clock, accompanied by two fellow
BARRIERS, who acted as seconds. The rain
fell in torrents; the mud was ankle
deep. But regardless of this they heroically
kept on their way over hill and through dale,
,ch man strainng every nerve to get ahead
of his competitor. After a while. however,
the courage of one of the poor fellows began
to flag AMI when point two miles from this
city had been reached, he sho~ed the white
feather and gave up the race. Upon this the
four bar bers turned around and plodded their
weary way homeward. reaching here about
an hour after the start, well drenched and a
more woe e-begone, disconsolate party than
they, il would be hard to find.

AUGUSTA, Feb. 15.-In the House this FORE
noon Mr.. Heath Of Augusta called up the Con-
gressonal apportionment bill and proposed to
divide his time and take vote at II noon
which was agreed to.
Messrs. Mattocks of Portland and Spofford
of Bucksport spoke against the bill and in
favor of the amendment transposng Washing
ton and Somerset. Mr.. White of Lewiston ad-
vocated the changing of the first and second
districts
Mr. Robinson of Readfeld and Mr.. Hale of
Portland strongly advocated the committees
report. Mr. Heath closed the debate in brief
effective speech and the first vote was taken
on Bearce's motion to recommit which was
rejected, 79 to 81, the latter vote including 80
Democrats. On this motion the Republican
vote stood 70 to %. The next vote taken was
on Spofford's amendment which commanded o
support stronger than the actual opposition to
the bill as Washington county and other MEM
bers who had an original preference for class
ing Washington with Hancock felt constrain-
ed to vote for the amendment although they
had become satisfied it could scarcely pass both
branches and would cordially have supported
the bill if the amendment had not been pressed
The amendment was defeated GA yeas, 60 nays
Thirty-fve Democrats and twenty-nine Repub-
lcans voted yea; and sixty-seven Republi-
cans and two Democrats voted nay. The
Republican vote was 67 to 80 against the
amendment. On Mr.. Whites amendment
making the first district York, Androscoggin,

vote stood 81 yeas-35 Democrats aud 16 Re-
publicans-S2 nays-79 Republicans and 8
Democrats-Messrs. Dnsmore and Brackett of
Somerset, Donovan of York. The Republican
vote was 70 nays and 16 yeas. This vote was ac-
cepted as conclusive against the attempts to
defeat the bill and it passed to be engrossed
without division. OF the Cumberland delega-
tion eleven Republicans voted for the bill and
against both amendments and six Democrats
and three Republicans-Messrs Mattocks,
Thomas and Thompson-voted to recommit
and for both amendments. The bill will pass
