steps are being taken to render tins union certain
aud permanent
The suggestions made in different quarters on
the subject have lei TO the adoption Of a plan by
which II Is believed the oLjec, in view can be sc
complishel without any unnecessary delay
. That plan is embodied in the following call, to
which We ask the attention Of democrats. This
call has already been uumerously sjSuci in dulor-
eni paris Of the cnanty by leading free sellers and
democrats, but We have concluded not 10 print
the names this week. but to wait until all the pa
Pers in circulation are got together. Meantime,
however, the II uion convention" may be regard
ed As called, aud such as favor the plan, (and to
the main object in view, who can object . will
begin to cast about to see who their delegates
shall be-
The undersigned, believing it desirable and nee
eSsary that there should bc - united action on the
part of all who wish TO sustain democratic prime,
pies and insure their success IN the National and
State councils would respectfully suggest 10 our
friends Ia hold union meetings ~ their several
towns at the places fixed by the b,ard Of Super
vlsurs for holding elections, on the An day Of

OF choosing double set of delegates to be COM
posed Of an equal number from each wing OF the
democratic party to county convention to he

harmonious action IN future, 1t i not proposed
10 appoint new delegates to the Joliet convention

the delegates already appointed as the repre,cn-
ttSe' Of the united party unless such delegates
should object to act rs such representatives.
At thiS nyentiuna committee viii be appoin-
ted for the county to call future conventions tc
And such other business will be transacted A. may

THUNDER AND LlGuTNING.-Aftcr long, drv
and exceedingly hot season, the heavens finally
yielded to the universal cry for rain that hal
been going up from all quarters, for the last tive
months, and on last Saturday they commence
sending down the long sought blessing in mos
satisfactory quantities, accompanied 10y a truly
terrific display OF lightning and thunder. Epu
about o'clock p. M till o'clock q. m. Sunia,
morning the electric fluid appeared to be on a re-
gular frolic-sportns and dancing amid the
gathering storm,
driving the darkness from the deluged field,
While decp,hoarse thunder iTomO Olympus pealed,'
Considerable damage was done in this vicinity
as the storm swept over US About o'clock on
Sunday morning the lightning struck Dr. Pearson
barn killing his horse valuable animal but,
strangely, doing no serious damage to the build.
ing. On Sunday evening the same scene WAS
commenced and rehcarsed with unabating yigor
during the night, daring which it struck house
in West Ottawa, without doing any injury, and
COW in East Ottawa belonging to Mr. Cl,h.
man. killing herinstantly.
In the country around US we hear Of q number
Of stacks and ofseveral barns and houses having
been struck, resulting IN several cases, in seriou.
loss to the owners.
There has however, one good consequence
flown from all this. after the storm get ready
for the next" appears to be the wise maxim act
ed upon by our citizens, and now Lightning rod
have got in high demand and within a day OIL
two quite number Of these useful appesdages
have raised their pointed heads over houses
barns, and wood sheds, throughout our town
Since the above was put in type We have re
ceiyed the following information in reference tc
the storm on Indian creek:
On Sunday morning the Lightning struck III,
barn Of Mrs. Warren, widow of Daniel Warren.
residing about three miles east of Munsontowu
and burnt It to the ground, with two horses, a
bout eight tons good timothy hay, tanning mil
&c Loss at least 5000.
The house Of Dea. Smith was also struck, "
believe on the same day, but not much damag
done.
Indian creek is said to have been higher tina
1t has been known to be for fifteen years TIL
rise in all the streams was so sudden aud durin
the night besides, that there was little or no tim
left to rescue things that were at all expose1-
Lumber yards, bridges, saw mills, ard the hk
have generally suffered; while we hear of niue
grain, stacked in low ground aud on open field
having been destroyed.
