The entertainment consisted of music, instrumental and vocal, re citations and tableaux, in which two dozen children, ladies and geu tlemen successfnlly participated. The affair was a pecuniary success, the . receipts approximating $50. According to the election law of the last legislature, the voting precincts were limited to 350 votes in each township and the clerk of the court was ordered to divide all townships having an excess of 350 registered voters and make the necessary additional voting pre cincts. This complex election ma chinery requires new election boxes of certain sizeand capacity, that formerly did not suena 11 in ten years for election boxes. But, now this is the day of lieform and more taxes. We ask our magis trates to calculate the cost of these new election boxes only two boxes to each precinct, with tweuty-four precincts n Cleveland, as a basis of calculation. There -pre no changes in No's 1, 2, 3, 5, .7, 9, 10 and 11 townships as the nnmbeijof mtpra in these townships were iu accord with the new election law.

Chicago Dispatch, 18th. Chic-go was visited by a singu lar meteorological: phenomenon last nignt. Black snow, yellow snow, and brown snow fell in blinding clouds all over the entire city, and reports from suburban towns brought the news that the varicolored storm was not. an ex clusive Chicago production. The chief of the Weather Bureau at Washington says of the snow : "Microscopic examination proved that the black deposit con tained about. 4 per cent, ot tne most delicate organic structures (such as diatoms and spores) and about 96' per cent, of the finest possible inorganic matter, such as makes up the ordinary fine silt and clay soils. All 'this fine ma terial is easily caught up by -the dry winds whenever they exceed 20 miles per hour, and is carried to great distances before it settles on the ground. It is easily brought down in large quantities by snow or rain, but is . only perceived by the ordinary observer where there is a clean surface of- snow for it to fall upon. Large, portions of the country from Nebraska southward to the Gulf are covered by this fine soil, whose depth -sometimes is too feet, A gale of wind has been known to carry away six icches of the surface soil from a freshly cultivated field and spread it over the land too miles away. The blackness is due to the fine ness of the silt, and not to any magnetic iron. Judge Brown's handsome resi dence near Weldon was destroyed by fire on the 19th No insurance.
