A NIGHT OF TERROR.-The town OF Dauphin,
Pa, Is not pleasant place OF abode for timid
people during the prevalence of thunder storms
1t is located at the base of a mountain eight
hundred feet high, and eight miles from Harris
burg. In fact the town Is walled in by noun
tains; frequently the atmospheric phenomena
in this gorge are wonderfully to behold. Recent
lythree distinct thunder storms met seemingly
directly over the town. The electricity kept up
an almost continual play, while the thunjerous
quite continuous. The lightning darted along
the railroad, and the telegraph wires gave out
multitude OF sparks like those from a forge.
and fIequently large rocks were displaced by
the powerful fluid, and with loud noise rolled
down into the river. A barn was struck five
times, although provided with lightning rods.
As well may be supposed, the inhabitants were
terribly alarmed while the storm lasted, and
sleep closed few eyelids during the night.
no one was injured except a little girl, who was
killed by fiash of lightning.
