..pRENONIrORY SYMPTOMS"

There Is at least, one point upon one subject
in which even doctors don't disagree. With on:
voice they all enjoin. in the case Of ChOler,,
close attention to premonifo'y symptoms. Ia
this chequered and ever varying world, mehmli
this idea of the faculty may be enlarged upl
and even carried out beyond the pale Of medic.
jurisdiction.
When an Inveterate proser, for instance, per
ceives his hearers beginning to yawn-it surely
is desirable he should take hint from pre,nOni.

When politician in search Of Office, becons
suddenly over complaisant, there is certainly 10
installing the premonitory symptom.
When man au axes from visions OF roast pis,
mock turtle and old PORT; and finds that his shoe
has grown too small for his great toe-he had
better not neglect premonifory symptoms.
When a Miss IN her teens is given to revere,
sips toast-water, aud hangs spell bound at her
easement to the soft strains Of Luben's lluis By
moon light, it is high time for sagacious mana.'
to have an eye to premOni,ory symptoms.
When a generous hearted soul, who is TOO
careless to thrive. begins to button high in the
neck and wax scedy-it is astonishing how GpIcs
sightedevery body will be to the premoHi'og
symptoms.
When moderate drinkcr finds himself seal
ing his own liquor. it is quite time to give hee'
to premonitory symptoms.
When Miss from the boarding school sets Up
for Meraieur, affects wise saws, and 'ossesfe
head at her former cOmpaniOns-she may be a..
sured there is more of pertness thon pre,uness "a
such preasonifory symptoms.
When an over prudent man, under an impuss
to relieve distress, thrusts his hand into hi po''
ct, but upon second thought withdraws 1t wl'h"lI
the coin-he had better read his bible, and sne
solemn heed to the prenloniiory symptoms.
When a wealthy bachelor bucks up N his old

monitory symptoms.
When creditor with long bill opens upoa

Thunder Momers. between and O'Clock,
Yesterday, clouds began to ascend IN the west,
gradually deepening IN intensity. and showers
fell on the Jersey side. accompanied with light
ming and long prolonged thunder IN the upper re-.
gions. A canopy of dark aud somewhat empur'
pied hue soon hung over the scene. Inc BODY
of the clouds passed over the city in west and
northwest direction; and a little after 3 the
flashes became nearer and more viva, anu the
electric explosions louder and sharper. Rain
fell in copious quantities. together with hal-stones
Of considerable size driven to the earth With great
rap,lty. The only accidents reported are the

being sustained.
The masts of the schooner Caroline, Of Bor-
dentown, Gloucester Furnace, lying at the foot
of Oliver street, were both struck with lightning,
attracted. probably, by quantity of iron yins
on the neighboring pier. Little injury was done.
A Lombardy poplar in front Of 1872 Laurens'
street. was also struck. The house was unscath.
ed. The fluid descended between two houses,
Nos, LA and lac Mulberry, street, which are
contiguous. without doing any damage.
There can be no doubt that the thunder storms
of Sunday evening have been beneficial in pro-
ducing change IN the atmosphere. 1t was gen.
orally remarked yesterday that the light of the
Sun, which was powerful. was of more natural
hue. Smoke. vdpor. clouds, &c. assumed more
coIorns in them The pile of thunder clouds
over the city as we looked at them from the west
were cumuated, and heapcd in curving masses;
and took their usual hues from the descending
Sun. That these phenomena are connected with
mure healthy state of the atmosphere, no one
will doubt, who has felt the difference between
Its effects upon respiration and the system gen.
orally, previous to yesterday, and as experienced
now.
