We had glorious thunder storm here last
night, after . drought Of many long burning
days The clouds came up in hurry, but they
did their work well. There was no appearance
of rain at sunset, but half IN hour after the
sky began to darken then followed fearful
baa<t Of wind from the west then the vivid
lightning and the quick thunder; and then the
welcome rain, heavy, copious, and refreshing.
With few short intervals Of sus pension it con-
tinued al night. We hope that it is but the
beginning Of the rainy season, and that it will
cover all the continent and the islands Of the
sea
When the storm broke upon US there was
considerable alarm among the four hundred
people Of the house concerning the safety Of q
sailboat In the river, with half dozen ladies
On board; but they came in unframed, save
lltsle drsnching from the spray. II was feared
also that the two evening steamboats, bound for
New York, would be caught In the open sea of
Sandy Hook, and that they might possibly be
capsized, for the opening wind Of the black tenn
pest was perfect hurricane. But the boats
have come down this morning, safe and SQUAD,
hsinsing the HEnALD, and letters from friends,
and sundry welcome faces from different parts
ofthe country.
The sea this morning is calm, the atmos-
phere il close and sulsry, the flies bite, the
swallows ekim along close to the surface Of
the water--we shall have more rain. Speak
ing Of swall0ws, had this morning the go,d
fortune to attend convention Of that branch
~ the family known a. barn swallows. Toe
meeting took place on the telegraph wires
whsch run along over the narrow sand beach
thas divides this cori0us inlet from the main
