MORE RAIN.-This city and neigh
borhood enjoyed another refreshing
rain between six and seven o'clock yes
terday evening. Heavily laden clouds
had been gathering in the west and
northwest for some time, and when the
wind came ont fercely from the first
quarter they were waited over this city.
A brilliant flash of lightning accom-
panied by crash of thunder were fol-
lowed by heavy dowppour. For
about quarter of an hour the rain fell
in binding sheets, again flooding the
streets. There was another shower at
an early hour this morning.

HORSE STEALING.-Melchia Ballard
was brought down from Washingt III
yesterday by Sergeant Smith on the
charge of stealing horse, buggy and
harness from two men-Arrington and
Arnold. The Mayor this morning sent
him on to the grand jury. Rather an
extraordinary condition was developed
in this case. The authorities in Wash
ington located the property stolen, but
declined to make the purchaser sur
render the same to the owners. After
the trial of Ballard this morning the
Mayor directed the sergeant, Arnold
and Arlington to Commonwealth At
torney Marbury, so as to have the re-
ceiver Of the stolen property In Wash
ington arrested aud crmnally prose-
cuted. The sergeant will call on Dis
;rct Attorney Davis this afternoon and
prefer charges. The Mayor states that
when the parties are arrested in Alex
audria for theft committed IN Washing
ton no such obstacles are thrown in the
way of the return of stolen goods, and
he proposes to know the reason why
receivers OF stolen property in WASH.
ington are 30 tenderly considered. The
losers of the property 10 this case were
told that their property could probably
be recovered by the engagement OF a
lawyer and the services of q Justice of
the peace, all to cost said losers about
twenty-five dollars, and they to give
bond in addition.
