mercury went up TO 1922 in the shade, on
Saturday, at o'clock, though there was
a good breeze. 1t must have been ten
degrees higher in the valleys. At Port

high as 1907. On Sunday evening, there
was sharp lightning all around the
heavens, with several light showers and
heavy thunder. The barn of Mr.. John
G.. SWEET, Il mile or two below South
Paris, was struck by the tightening and
consumed.
A barn and house in Turner, belonging
to Messrs. G. IL. and ID. Darrell, the we'll
known owners of the granite query, were
struck by lightning about 10 o'clock,
Sunday evening, and entirely burned.
The lightning struck the southwest corner
OF the barn, and the flames seemed to
burst forth ut once in every direction.
Fourteen tons OF hay, which had just been
put into Inc barn, was burnt, together
with two valuable horses, one Of which
was killed by the shock. Thee horses
were got out Of the barn. About n

REDUcTION OF THE ARMY.

We take the following from the New
York ZIi5llee
"Mr. Wilson consents, we are sorry to
see and say, that the clause of his Army
Bill reducing the forces to $4,000 men
shall be struck out, on the argument Of
Southern Senators that it won't do TO take
any troops from the South, and that of
Western Senators that additional forces
are needed in the west to fight the Indi-
ans. 1t does not appear to have been
suggested to the Southern gentlemen that
4 safer policy for their section would be to
rule by love and amnesty rather than fear
and prescription. The Western Senators
will discover eventually what they do not
appear now to know, that it Is cheaper to
feed than to fight Indians. And as the
people have forgotten past animosities to-
ward the rebels, and heartily favor re-
deemlng present promises to the Indians,
we suggest that the further military oc-
cupation of the South and an expensive
war in the West are not absolutely essen
tial to the well-being of the Republic"
The southern senators" of the Tribune
are only northern carpet-baggers who
know well that without standing army
their chances for office would be slight in
deed. We would really ike to know
what use there is at all for standing ar
my in the South. Let those people, like
the people of the northern states, manage
their own affairs and they will be proper
ly managed. OF course under such a
state of things those scouadrel carpet bag
vermin would have poor show.
