village was visited BY an unusually severe
storm OF wind and rain. No great dam
age was done, though dry goods boxes,
empty barrels, and other loose materials
conducted themselves in q very unbecoln-
ing manner for the Sabbath day. The
scene was most impressive and sublime,
and sundry sharp flashes were visible, and
loud reports were heard as '4he gods Of

we could not help quite smile as we saw
a covered buggy, racing through the
street at 4 ~. 40" rate of speed without
any nag attached to it.

Now reign the world great bricials, chaste and
calm;
Now springs thS1erowning race of human kind.
