A HEAVY STORM, accompanied with heavy
thunder and vivid lightning, visited us in Lite h.
field on Tuesday night. It kept up frequent
succession of heavy showers nearly all night, and
was bad for the benighted traveller 1t remind
ed as forcibly of a storm zoe encountered once,
on a return from Lake Waramaug and the
" Pinnacle" just two years ago, and we we're
thankful that zoe were this time safely housed
though there scas small party from here caught
out in it, and on their way home from Wara-
maugl And it never rains, but it pours, when
anybody goes to the Pinnacle from Litch6eld.
