Then there was the rapid, rolling stream
rushing and tumbling like a swollen river,
down the hill over the precipice and down
the valley to the sea, surging and roaring
like cataract, with fury perfectly inde-
scribable. This rioel' Qf fire varied from
500 to 200 or 500 feet in width, ard
when it is known that the descent was 2 600
feet in five miles, the statement that it ran
at the rate of ten miles an hour will not be

UTAH AND POIYGAMY.-A cOrrespon-
dent of the San Francisco Bulletin says
the traveller arriving from the East into
Utah comes to it prepared to be easily
pleased with everything he finds. The
trip over the desert from the Missouri
river is rough one, and getting back
again into civilization is of itself such a
luxury that everything, pleases. The
consequence is that Utah has been re-
presented as garden, which, indeed, it
is, when compared with the surround
ing country. But, with few exceptions,
the farms will not compare with those
of Califoria, or the Mississippi valley.
The system of irrigation, too, for which
the Mormons have received SO much
credit, has really involved but little Ia
Dor, owing to the numerous streams
which course down the mountain sides,
and which are easily diverted.

SINGULAR FREAKS OF LIGHTNING
The lightning played some curious and
rather unpleasant pranks at the resi-
dence of Nlr. John Stimson, No. 7 Oak
Street, Cambridgeport, during the show
er ON Monday afternoon. The fluid
struck an elm in front ofthe house, leap
ing thence to the corner of the building
and literally "going through" every
room in the house. The plastering was
torn FROM the walls, the glass in the
windows broken out the sashes injured,
and mirrors shivered into infinitesimal
atoms. The lightning was particularly
attracted by looking glasses, which il
"knoc1cd into flinders" at flash. The
furniture in all the rooms was thrown
about and injured, and pieces were
gougcd out Of tables, doors, &C., as if
done with carpenters tools. Two or
three balls OF fire played round on the
floor of room in which were six per-
sons several of them children seated on
the floor, and yet no one was injured or
seriously affected by the dangerous ele-
ment, although its influence was felt
unpleasantly. No less than five balls Of
fire were seen to dance through the en-
try and roll down the cellar stairs, but
where they made their exit from the
premises cannot be discovered. The
damage to the house was of course con-
siderable, and altogether it was such a
display OF natural pyrotechnics as rare
ly happens, and one that the family
would not care to have repeated. They
are verythankful that so little harm was
done.
