THUNDER STORM IN BERKSHIRE COUNTY
The Pittsfield Sun has long list of damages
sustained in Berkshire by the violent thunder
storm of last Saturday night.
In the course of three hours more rain came
down than we have ever known to fall in Berk
shire in the same length of time The streams
III all directions were raised to great hight :;
the roads in this town, Lanesboro, Cheshire,
Dalton, Hinsdale, Peru, Richmond, and West
Stockbridge, were badly washed, and MANY
bridges carried off and the abutments of 9TH
ers undermined and rendered impossible. The
Housatonic river, at the cotton mill of Messrs.
Plunkett, Clapp, & Co., was one inch higher
than ever before known. The meadows on its
banks were flooded, and had the season been
two weeks later the grass crop would have
been very badly injured.
AT West Stockbridge the storm was very
severe-roads and bridges were considerably
injured. A barn belonging to Henry 7. Ford.
was struck by lightning, but not much dam
aged. The premises of Mr. Lyman Bliss, di
rectly in the village, consisting of the basement
OF his house occupied as wagon-shop. and
his garden containing about twenty-five hives
OF bees, was completely submerged his COW
was with difficulty saved from drowning.
In Cheshire, (near the Harbor,) during the
violent storm, Mr.. Mcintosh while sitting
in his house, was struck by lightning, and was
lnsensible for nearly two hours. His person
was badly burned and many fears are enter
tanned that he will not recover. His wife, who
was near, was also Frustrated by the shock. 1t
is also remarkable that cat lying near his feet
at the time was instantly killed. During the
same storm, Widow Northrup, residing in the
west part of Cheshire, was severely shocked
and rendered insensible for some twenty min

also is expected from Trinity. The race be-
tween the College boats may be expected in

of novelty, and as part of the wide spread
movement of our time to encourage manly,
out-ofdoor sports, it is deserving of all encour-
agement.

Ter and sportsman of great reputed wealth,
was announced on Monday He was native
Of Waterford, Ireland, where his family held
a respectable position, his father being solic-
itor of large practice. Young Hearne was
educated and took his degree at Dublin Uni

settle in the practice Of law. After many ad-
ventures, he became accountant at one of the
large gambling houses in New. Orleans where
his career of fortune commenced. He remov-
ed thence to New York, and opened a sporting
house of his own, on most fempting and
magnificent scale which probably proved the

made at a private club in the rear of his own,

Foolish BoYs.-The Adelphi Society, an
association of young gentlemen connected with
Michigan University, having learned that it
was proposed to admit young ladies to the
privileges of the institution, held an indigna-
ton meeting, and resolved that such an inno-
walton could not be permitted that it would
impair the standard of scholarship and lower
the dignity of the institution; and finally that
they would withdraw if women were permitted
to share its benefits and advantages. The silly
boys could probably give no reason for their
Indignation except that it was in obedience to
an artificial prejudice which is passing away.
