General Brooke, commanding this de-

receive artillery instruction. Colonel Bur
gwyn designated Lieutenants c. II. White,
Lyman A. Deal, a, c. Avery. Jr, w. A.
Farrior, J. b. Tillinghast and w. Il.
Meadows. These will probably leave BY
next Monday.
The Second Regiment received twenty
six recruits. mustered in yesterday, and
up TO noon to-day nineteen more had ar
rived. The regiment now has strength
OF about 1852. 1t will certainly reach
the 1880 mark by Wednesday. This will
mean that il will recruit from 975 TO 1850
in ten days, which is highly creditable
work.
The provost guard is the last feature
Of the camp. and it is quite in evidence
in the suburbs, and also in the city.
Heavy rains fell last night. and there
was drizzle to-day. The rain and the
constant cloudiness for seventy-two hours
must be damaging the crops Of wheat
and oats.
There is much talk here about the
resignation of Judge Norwood. which
Governor Russell has accepted. Judge
Norwood claims il was no resignation at
all, and has begun legal proceedings to
withdraw or nuliify II. 1t was to check
mate this move, no doubt that the news
was given out at the executive Office yes
terday that the resignation had been re-
ceived and accepted last Monday. The
friends OF Judge Norwood express in
tense anger at the action of the Governor.

day: Il have not the remotest idea as TO

He has no intimation as 10 when the

appears to intimate that it may remain
