1 111 .1 Sunday's Deluge. During Sunday foreuoou thin region was visited by a welcome deluge of rain, which continued for about a half hour without interruption, soaking the parched earth completely and filling the gutters and branches throughout the city. The fall was so heavy that the sewers could not carry off the water, there being overflows in most of the streets. It was the first rain that has fallen in this section for a period of our weeks. It came up from the southwest and must have spread over the greater portion of the county.

It will give the growing corn fresh life, and therefore gladdens the hearts of the thrifty farmere. Most of the oats in the county is yet standing. The rain has not affected it seriously. Deeatur Prints Dtdected, There was a fair sized crowd at the Reds' park Saturday afternoon to witness the much-talked-of game between the Decatnr Printers and type-Bettors from the Pantograph and Leader at Bloomington. There was a good representation of ladies, and a full turnout of all the cigarmakers, whom the home printers had whipped on the diamond on two former occasions.

They were there for a purpose which became apparent when the Bloomington boys got ahead. The "scraps" then cheered lustily aud groaned in derision at the errors of the home nine. The game all through was a picnic for the cigarmakers, who were doubly delighted at the result of the contest. The game lasted for about two hours aud was an easy victory for the visitors, the score being 20 to 3 in their favor. Our boys seemed to be, considerably rattleJ and became hopelessly discouraged as the fielders and basemen made error after error in muffing balls and in making wild throws.

Amos Bairn excelled in batting. He made two pretty home runs, having knocked the ball over the fence twice. The umpire was Duuthett, of the visiting club. The Bloomingtou boys left for home by way of Springfield Saturday evening. A Doctor in Jail.

Sunday morning J. J. H. Young, received a note from Dr. B.

F. Sibley, who recently went east. The note is dated Brooklyn, July 27th, and the writer says: "1 am here in jail." Further on the doctor says he will write loug letter as soon as he can see his sisters, and will then give further particulars. We lean: that Dr. Sibley went east visit his mother in Wiudham county, but his present location is moat The explanation, which will soon arrive, i.H anxiously awaited.

Brigade Bmcaropment. We learn from the Springfield Mtmitot that for the first time, the Second state militia, have been ordered into cami by the governor, in compliance with the provisions of the military code. The men are eac-h to receive fl for each day of service (not to exceed 4 days) and mileage and rations. Heretofore the encampments have been voluntary, but this time it is business, and the strictest military discipline will be enforced. The time has not yet been fixed, but it will probably be held from the 20th to the JJfith of September, in Springfield.

A Big Yield. The following from the Valley Fulls (Kansas) Register, of July 28th, refers to the success of Mr. A. A. Murray, a former resident of Deeatur, as a farmer: That thirty acres ot wheat on the Murray hill farm yielded 1022 bushels, which IB an average of more than 34 bushels per acre.

Mr. Murray informs us that his wheat was threshed by Messrs. Came Allen, with their steam thresher, who did a first-class job. The last half day they threshed 700 bushels, iu good condition. Legler says his wheat will grade No.
