The Saratoga races were to show
the world that 1.-THE turf is the royal
sport, free from vulgarity or fraud"
The last race Of the present season was
a shining example Of the excellence
OfhOrse-racing as a moral power. An
account says: 1.-THE bets were paid
over by the shareholders and no one
for a moment doubted but that Chilli
cOthe was the victor. About ten min
utes later, however thejudges announ-
ced that the rider of Chilli0othe had
run foul Of POmpeY Payne, and that
the latter was therefore the winner Of
the race. At this announcement the
sports claimed all bets, which accord
ing to the rules Of the track they were
entitled to. The outsiders, after con-
siderable swearing and grumbling,
paid their wagers, but declared that it
was nothing short ola high-handed
robbery. About a hundred thousand
dollars changed hands on this race
1t was openly asserted that the judges
themselves were interested in the
race to a large amount. The sporting
fraternity were of course in high feath-
er and left for home in the afternoon,
without having to borrow money to
pay their hotel bills and fares, which
they surely would have been cOmpell-
ed 70 DO II the mvOrite had not been
run in by the judges,

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-Last Monday
night a son Of Martin Bundy, of this
town, who was at work for Mr.. A. Hatch,
Of Mesopotamia, and sleeping up stairs,
imagined or dreamed that he was told
that lightning had struck the house and
it was on fire. He jumped from his bed
and selling a chair, broke out the top
sash Of the window and jumped out, over
the bottom sash, alight;ng on a kitchen
or shed roof, and then rolling or tum-
bling to the ground before he awoke.-
He was severely bruised and one hip
badly hurt but no bones broken.
On Tuesday the lightning struck the
chimney of the Sawyer and Horton
school house, in Southington, scattering
the bricks all about the roof, following
the chimney down and scattering the
bricks inside between the roof and plas-
tering, breaking holes through the plas-
tering, following the chimney still down
into the school room, where it receives
the st e pipe, throwing the bricks
around amongst the children, but not
hitting any of them, and the electricity
following the pipe to the elbow, where it
turns down to the stove, bursting the
pipe apart, and down into The stove,
throwing the cover of and bursting the
door open, probably passed put of the
room door which was open in front of the
stove, injuring no one, but frightening
the teacher and scholars very much.
Same day, Peter Thayer, who hauls
milk from the south part Of MesOpota-
mia to the milk factory in Pennington,
lost n Of his horses, which dropped
dead in the road, while on his morning
trip. One cause, the extreme hot wealth
err.
On Wednesday, at noon, a thunder
shower coming up and near at hand, Mr..
W. H. Higgins, Of this town, drew a
load Of hay to his horse barn, taking the
horses from the wagon and putting them
in the stable, and had just left them
when a bolt struck the ridge Of the barn,
following the rafter to the post and down
the post struck ''old Charley" killing
him instantly. Charley was eating hay
at the time. He was a very valuable
horse, being so trusty and safe for any
one Of the family or any person to drive
or use. Mr.. Higgins would have rather
lost several common horses than "Old
Charley" be having had him a long
time.
Died, in Pennington, on Friday NOR
ming, July 29th, Mrs. BUNDY, wife OF
Moses Bundy, ir. LOCAL,

Storm Accidents.

The month Of July was remarkable for
frequent storms of lightning and thun-
der. Innumerable accidents to persons
and property have occurred. On We'd
nesday night Of last week the elemental
disorder seemed to eliminate in a letting
loose of wind and lightning, with a Wis
able admixture of rain. Clouds Of fear
full import rushed up the western sky,
and a fearful tornado seemed to be 'in
the wind Fortunately however it
swept by, not doing the damage that had
been apprehended. The most serious
damage to property in town was sustain
ed by the walls of the new brick school
house, now in course of erection on Mar
ket street. The walls were up nearly the
required height Of the second story
The storm struck the west wall and blew
part Of it down; and both east and west
walls were moved several inches out Of
plumb. The next day the mechanics
very skilfully pushed the walls back to
their proper position, and with the ex-
ception Of the brick thrown down, the
walls are believed to be as good as ever.
About a mile north Of town the storm
was quite severe. The house OF Mr..
Pinkert, on the North Road, had a CHM
ney blown down. Fences were prostra-
ted and rails sailed like straws through
the air. A man on his way home with a
wagon containing some articles of fur
niture, saw his breakfast table sailing of
into an adjacent field. Forest and or
chard trees were blown down, and in
some orchards large quantities of apples
were shaken from the trees.
On Tuesday night of last week the
barn Of Mr.. S. ChTyst, of L~ordstown,
was struck and burned by lightning
About Is tons of hay were consumed
No insurance. On the same night the
lightning hurled a bolt at the steeple of
the Disciple church in this place. The
fluid followed the rod, and the building
sustained but little injury. Marvellous
to relate, an adjacent lawyers Office
wasn't even singed. On the same night
a barn near Niles, was struck and burned;
and during that day a school house in
Southington had a loud call. On We'd
nesday a barn was struck in Farming
ton, and an old family horse had a fatal
attack Of the fluid.

Sad and Fatal Accident.

A distressing affair occurred, July %,
by the accidental discharge Of a pistol.
Mr.. VIM. barley, son of Mr.. VIM. G..
barley, Superintendent of South st.
Louis iron works, and formerly Of War
rem, shot himself with a small pocket
pistol, at the residence OF his brother-in-
law, in st. Louis. Shortly after bReak-
fast he took from his pocket a pistol and
was examining it with a view to having
it repaired, and while doing something
to the lock it suddenly went of, the ball
entering the left side of his face, passing
through the antrum upward and lodg-
ing in the brain. Medical aid was i'm
mediately called, and considerable time
spent in endeavoring to extract the ball,
but to NJ purpose. The young man
became insensible from the effects Of
the wound, Immediately after the Ia
mentable occurrence, and expired about
Dol the same day. Young barley was
a medical student in the Office Of DR..
ComstOck, in st. Louis, and was a young
gentleman Of promise, showing a high
degree Of medical attainment during the
time he has been studying. This sad
affair has cast a deep gloom in the family
of the unfortunate young man and over
a large circle Of friends and acquaint-
ances.
