SroRA-On Saturday evening we were
visited with one of our grand western thun
der storms, and by another Sunday night.
From the sharp thunder and lightning we
think several places in this vicinity must
have been hit. Four telegraph poles, be-
tween this city and Moline were shattered
and split to the ground; the ground wire
melted, at the freight depot, in this city and
also the connecting wires at the 'cut-ont."

falling above Lake Pepin, and we might ex-
pect fall here soon, were it not for the very
heavy rains in this region lately.
