Series of Thunder ShOVVers-PrOmIS-

Lightning.
CHICAGO, June 2S.-We have had two or
three lively thunder showers hore to-day,
which have considerably toned down the
heated term, which has prevailed for the
past five days. 1t is believed that these
storms extended through tho country di-
rectly west of here, and if so, much good to
crops will follow.
During the thunder storm to-day, Tip
Edwards, laborer in Conkling Il Camp
bells brick yards, at Bridgeport, was
struck by lightning and instantly killed,
and at about the same time lightning
struck the Bird house of the Chicago
Sporting Club at the Dexter Trotting
Park, demolished the building; the falling
timbers killing Jno. COffey, an employee
of Patchen x Brown, at the Union stock
yards, who was inside OF the building at
the time.

WoMAN's rights are beginning to be
powerfully asserted in various directions.
In one of the counties of Indiana, recently,
a party of 'ladies," not satisfied with the
doings of a female of bad repute, who
dwelt in their midst, disguised themselves
by backing their faces, then arming
themselves with switches and turpentine,
they dragged the erring female from her
bed, (this occurred at night stripped her
and whipped her terribly. They then
poured turpentine upon her wounds, after
which debate ensued as to the propriety
of applying match to the turpentine
This docs not promise to be the end of the
matter. The whipped woman's chief adj
mirer is desperate, and has promised to
mete out the same punishment to every
woman concerned in the whipping as fast
as he can ascertain their names. That
must be delightful community for q
peaceful person to abide with.

A WESTERN picnic party was recently
startled by the appearance of one of its
lady members in q remarkable cOstmnc.
Over an elegant black silk, made with
long train and entirely without trimming,
was lOOped and festooned in the most be-
wilderiDg way dress composed Of French
muslin and Falencienncs lace. Tie
apron-front was almost entirely of lacc,
and the soft, gOssamer folds of the skirt
were caught in their downward sweep by
bows of blue ribbon. This skirt was a.
most as long as the one overwhich it fell.
and was trimmed with the same costly
lace and inserting that made the apron
and pointed cape such marvels of de!icacy
and beauty. A wide, rosc-cOlored s1s1
completed this unique toilet. One of the
thoughtful observers of this exhibition of
our National cOlOrs draped over blaCk,
said it typifed the idea of Americ ,
mourning for the sins Of the Administra

PUBLIC EXPENDITURES.

We give our readers, this week, the pithy
portions of most excellent speech delivered
by the Hon. Il. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky,
in the House of Representatives, on May Goth,
1870, upon the bill to appropriate $4,000
for the paving of Pennsylvania Avenue, in
Washington city. The particular object de-
signed to be accomplished by the bill in
question is one of limited interest, of course,
to the people of the country at large-further
than the consideration of the fact that the
money appropriated comes from tho Treas
ury of an overtaXcd nation also the sum of
$4,000 may seem to many quite an insig-
nifcant amount, in comparison to the mil
lions daily expended for one or other pet
scheme of our national legislators but Mr.
Knott has made this the text of so much ex-
cellcnt comment on the subject of public ex-
penditures in general, that his remarks pos.
sess much general interest His speech is
characterized also by much genuine humor,
and full time was granted him by the House
to finish his remarks, contrary to the usual
course adopted toward many Democrats in
that body. We commence our extracts by
his ludicrous account of the office holders:
Mr.. Chairman, | have heard one reason
very frequently urged for the passage of
this bill which candor compels me to ad
nit almost convinced me that we ought
not only to appropriate this sum of $780,
000 but any other amount that might be
necessary to repave Pennsylvania avenue
at the very earliest possible period oftime;
and that is, that it is so much used by the
horde of ofiice-bolders that thrcng the
thoroughfares of this city, in numbers al
most equal to the hosts which were hurled
with Lucifer from the battlements ofheayen
Laughter and applause, For, sir, if there
is being on this earth for whose comfort
and convenience entertain the profound
est solicitude, if there is one whose smallest
want stirs my sympathetic soul to its Sc
renest depths, it is your office-holder, your
public functionary. Laughter. When

of private life, for which he is so eminent
ly fitted by nature, to immediate himself

DESTROYED BY FIRE.-Our usually quiet
town was alarmed on Sunday morning last,
about 2 o'clock, by the cry of fire, when it
was discovered that the tobacco and cigar
store of Mr. Thomas G. Archer, on Office
street, was in flames The fire had progress
ed so far when discovered, that the entire
contents of the building, q small frame one,
had already been consumed and the flames
shortly burst through the roof, causing great
apprehension for the safety of the adjoining
buildings. BY great exertions, however, the
fire was confined to the first named locality,
the building there with its entire conte nts,
being consumed The house was owned by
Miss PAMELA Hays, of this place, and was in
sured for $100int the Hartford Mutual Insurance
Company. Mr.. Archer also had an insurance
of 81 200 in the same Company, on his stock.
The accident is supposed to have originated
from the flue on the second floor, a fire hay
ing been kindled in the stove below, for the
purpose of drying the tobacco contained in
the building.
