 In town meeting, on Monday, we learn the modest request was made that the town report should be printed in the Litchfeld Enquirer, pro- vided no pay acas asked! In reply, we have only to state that we printed last year, and shall prob ably do so this, the principal statistics gathered from the reports of each to,0n in Aze county.- For this we only wish to receive the credit of printing what is of general interest to the read CTS of county paper. Further than this we do not ask pay-and when we do, it will be time enough for our town to refuse it.
 The house of Wm Kelly, in Northfed, was struck by lightning during the shower of Tues day, the 18th inst The fluid followed the chim- ney short distance when it seems to have branched off in three different directions, one of which found it's way to the gable end, when it passed off after shivering window case and door; another portion followed post down through the middle of the house, tearing it into splinters, one of which, two feet in length, was driven firmly into the wall on the opposite side of the room, while others took an active part in smashing the looking-glass and windows on that side of the house.
 Another portion seems to have followed the chimney and found its way through the stove dren was sitting. Near the stove it tore hole through a floor board as large as common sized apple. It also raised an another board completely away from the joists, which board was next to the one on which chair was standing, in which one of the family was sitting. It also tore paper window shade in atoms, and smash ed several panes of glass in the window, which was not more than three feet from Mrs. Kelly's one in the house was in the least injured Barkhamsted.
