JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Oct. 15.-No rain has fallen in this vicinity since Sept. 5, and if the concussion-rain theory has not been exploded here it is no fault of the government. Since August about thirty thousand pounds of mellinite, which is more powerful than dynamite, have been exploded at the falls. The shocks of the explosion, morning, noon and evening, are felt and plainly heard as far as Bethlehem, twenty-five miles up the river; Bridgeport, fourteen miles inland in the hills, and for miles below New Albany. If concussion produced rain, Jeffersonville ought to be deluged, yet this is the severest drouth experienced in this section for years.
