How THE REPUBLICANS MAY BE DEFEATED. Lin
coin cannot be elected President with the loss of
New York. But allowing him this State, he could
not succeed with the loss of Pennsylvania Califor
mia and Oregon. Should he get majority in New
York, Pennsy wanna and Oregon, and lose Indiana
Illinois, New Jersey and California, he would then
be defeated. All the States here mentioned are re-
garded, even by the Republicans themselves, as
doubtful.

HEAVY THUNDER STORM AT Decentralization was
visited by heavy thunder storm on Friday last.
The destruction of property was great, although no
life was lost as far as known. Towards o'clock
dark clouds began to gather in the southwest, and
the muttering thunder heard The dark
clouds continued to increase until between and 7
O'Clock, when the storm burst upon us, accompa-
MED by gust OF wind that resembed Young tor
nado. The rain fell as but few people ever it
fall before, accompanied with heavy thunder and
very vivid lightning. The streets were flooded in
short order, and in many places the sidewalks
overfown. 1t seemed though the con-
tents of several lakes were emptied upon city,
and that the Inhabitants were to be drowned with
out warning. The squall did not last longer than
fifteen minutes, yet during that time an immense
amount of water fell, and much damage was done
to our shade trees, branches being torn off BY the
combined efforts of the wind and rain. The old
Elm tree upon the Common was DESTROYED and
numbers of walls, incomplete buildings, and YES
sells in the harbOr were destroyed. We understand
that sail boat, containing five persons, was cap
sized Oft Fort Independence, and only one man was
saved. Previous to the squal dozen or more
boats were seen coming up the harbor, and after
the storm had passed over but two or three were
in sight. 1t is feared that there has been consider
able loss of lfe.-Boston Herald, June 3Oh.

and John Walton, who recently resided at 25e
west Twenty third street. The name of the MUIR

OF some nature, and that they accidentally met at
the hour named above, at the corner of Eighteenth
street and third avenue. The murderer immedi-
ately pointed pistol at Walton and shot him in
the head, behind the ear, and then ran up Eigh-
teenth street to Irving place. and then down Iry-
ing place, pursued by Mathews, who overlook him
near Sixteenth street, when Mathews was turned

heart. He fell, exclaimng-iI am kiedw go,
I'm dead man!' The murderer ran up Six
teenth street towards Fourth avenue, ewing "Po-
lice" Walton was taken into the drug store on
the corner where he was shot, and his wound at
