Severe Thunder Storm.

The thunder storm which passed over
this city on the evening of Saturday, the
25tn, was one of the severest we remem.
Der TO have witnessed for years. The
reverberating roar of the thunder, and the
vivid and incessant fash of the lightning
was truly appalling, and had some of oul
buildings been still unprotected by light
ming rods we might have had to record
different results.
Early last spring we had the HERALD
OF FREEDoM Office protected with Solely &
Claske's Copper Lightning Rods, and the
result is highly satisfactory. During the
recent storm the rod on our flag staff was
twice struck by the subtle fluid and each
time it was conducted OF without doing
cents worth of damage to person OF
property, though the shock was ssnsibly
felt by the printers in the office. The
Rev. Mr.. Reynolds new church was also
struck by an extraordinary heavy dis
charge from the passing cloud, but here,
as in the case of our Office, the building
was saved and the fluid conducted harm
lessly off by the copper conductor recent
ly put up by Messrs. Solely & Clarke
During the same storm the lightning also
struck and demolished tree in the ravine
about one hundred yards from the resi-
dsnce of Mr.. Solomon.
In view of the many heart rending &C.
cidents that are from time to time occur
ring from the effect of Lightning, we would
urge our readers who have buildings still
unprotected, to grasp the means at once
that science has provided aud placed with
in their reach for turning aside the deadly
bolts. After last Saturdays test we most
cordially recommend the copper lightning
rod sold by Messrs. Solely & Clarke, as
sure and safe protector-let mono who
have houses be without it.

Every timber claim along this stream,

not less than five thousand acres have

We are glad to find the farmers very
generally turning their attention to The
raising of wheat. 1t is bound to be the

the sooner its cultivation is begun, the
sooner will our agricultural population

Railroads,

The St. Joe. & Marysville R. R. is I'M
der survey and promises to be pushed for
ward, with energy, to speedy compile
;ion. The Wyandott and Kansas Valley
R. r. is vigorously taken hold Of, the first
ten miles having been authorized to be
let out by contrac; Immediately after its
survey.
Lawrence is quietly taking her ease, as
though railroad connection could be had
as a matter of course. The call for a
railroad meeting on Friday evening OF
last week, was only tolcrably responded
to, the proprietor of Miller's Hall refusing
it, on the plea that the meeting might be
turned to the furtherance Of political pur-
poses. Those present adjourned to the
Court House, and listened to an interest
ing address from DIR. ROBINSON, in refer
ence to the most feasible railroad connec-
ton for Lawrence, and the necessity OF
PiOhH ~ oSt'OH va bAS paiS VI hSi Stt4LeuS
to secure advantages of that kind. He
repelled the charge that he was hostile to
Lawrence, or wished to build up rival
town on the other side of the river
Neither he nor the Kansas Valley R. r.
had any interest in such an enterprise
In his efforts at Washington fer land
grants, he had labored for the prosperity
Of Lawrence, and his interest was bound
up in its prosperity.
He also replied to the charge that Mr..
PARRoTT had Ignored the interests of
Lawrence while at Washington, and char
acterized it as untrue.
G. w. BABcocK, Esq, also, made 8
brief speech in explanation of the posi-
ton he sustained to the Northern route
in the Kansas valley, and compared the
relative advantages of that over South
ern route from Kansas City.
While Wyandott, Quindaro, Atchison,
and st. Joseph are all striving in refer
ence to railroads throughout Kansas, it is
time for the business men of Lawrence
to bestir themselves and secure railroad
connection with the Missouri river and
the East, to the best advantage, and at
the earliest possible period.

o.awa,omis Temperance League.

The Temperance men of Osawatom;.

an Association on the plan of the Carson

the case in Osawatomie, and united Of.

there will put stop to the traffic. But
it is not enough to cut of the dram-shop
business. Many drug stores, not except
ing those in 0sawatomie, according to the
statements Of their customers at the lima
of the 0sawatomie Convention, sell in.
tOxicating liquors as beverage. This
outside of the limits of incorporated cit.
les, is in violation of Sec. 8 of the Stat.
utes of Kansas. That section provides:
THAT any person, without taking on, and
having license as grocer, dram shop
keeper, or tavern keeper, who shall ii.
rectly or indirectly sell any spirituous,
vinous or fermented, or other intoxics,.
ing liquors. shall! be fined in any sum not
more than one hundred dollars for each
offense."

or more, shall be entirely exempt from

The following: Had Mr.. PARRoTT been
