By invitation of Mr.. John Graves, Chair
we recently visited our city farm, and found
that great improvements had been made, not
only in buildings and domestic arrangements,
but also in the management of the farm and
value of stock within the past few years. The
farm consists of about l60 acres of good til
lage and pasture lands, and wood lot in ad-
dition of some fifty acres. There are under
successful cultivation four acres of potatoes;
two acres of corn two acres of beans, peas,
turnips, and beets; eight acres of oats and
two acres of barley. From forty to fifty tons
of excellent hay now crowd the spacious barn,
and the entire crop prospect is most Halter
ing. The orchard has been enlarged by the
introduction of new varieties of fruit, which
in few years will yield all needful for the
use of the establishment. The stock of the
farm consists of four fine oxen, six good cows,
horse. colt, five fat hogs, seventeen pigs, with
hens enough to supply eggs for the family
with an occasional surplus for the market.
In the wood-shed are twenty cords of dry
wood, and in the cellar twelve tons of coal for
furnace use. The house is spacious, with
pleasant and airy rooms for the family and
inmates. About fourteen paupers On an ay-
erage are cared for at the farm, and all APP
pear as happy and contented as possible.
They are mostly aged aud infirm persons, I'M
able to labor or to be of service in the family,
and some OF them requiring constant care.
There are two men and two women able to
render efficient service, and four are partial
ly insane. Everything about the house and
premises evinced neatness, and intelligent
oversight highly credtable to all concerned.
Mr.. Daniel Allen and his wife have proved
themselves fully equal to the task of manag
ing the affairs of the institution, under the
direction and supervision of Mr.. Graves. We
doubt if there is a tow or city farm in the
county or State under better management, or
presenting more successful and rcmunera
tive prospect.
The funeral of DR.. J. L. Babcock was
largely attended at the Hallowell House on
Saturday afternoon last. An appropriate
prayer was offered by Rev. DIR. Shaw, and
the services throughout were solemn and i'm
prcssive. DR.. Shaw alluded feelingIy to the
diseased in his sermon at the Baptist church
on Sabbath forenoon. DR.. Il. had been con-
nected with the church and choir since resd-
ing in this city, and on the Sabbath previous
had occupied his usual seat with his associates
in the church and Sabbath school. Mr. San
born who was killed by the same stroke of
lightning, was brought from the residence of
his father in Manchester, and on arriving at
the llallowell House the procession waited
until the close of the services at the funeral of
DR.. B. when both professions joined and pro-
ceeded to our cemetery, where the bodies
were placed in the receiving tomb to await
transportation to their final resting places.

The LightninS's Track.
House struck ia LitchfeId, but the FaEii-
~ unharmed- Strange Antics OF the
EIectri: Current.

About 10 o'clock Thursday morning last,
the quiet little town of Purgatory Mills
(North LitchGeld) was suddenly highly excit-
ed by a tremendous clap of thunder and an
instantaneous flash of lightning. Everybody
rushed ca: with pals, buckets, and tubs to
pat out the supposed con.lagration, the cry of
fire having been raised. Each man, woman,
and child was 'thunder. struck" by the sud
deHness and power Of the report, and several
were so badly frightened or shocked that it
made them sick. At first each thought his
own premises had been hit, but it turned out
that the house of Mr.. John Robe, near the
center OF the village, had been the object of
attack by the heavenly artillery. The light
ming struck the northeast corner Of the house
and seemed to follow the old plate 0the build
ing having been raised above it, around the
front or east side where tie main current
separated into three smaller Ones two passing
down TO the ground On each side of window
and a third burning the corner and passing
along the plate over the windows and door,
pretty nearly the length of the house, and then
disappearing. When the bolt struck the
corner of the house, some of the fluid appar-
emily glanced off and passed down horse
chestnut tree standing close by, inficting no
damage to the tree except to strip off a little
Of the outside bark, and entered the ground,
leaving quite a hole. Another small stream
turned around the corner to the right, (the
main body passing 10 the left, and passed
along the north side of the house q short dis
lance, and then tore down to the ground A
tall hackmatack tree stands close by the
horse chestnut, and probably that attracted
the lightning toward tile house, but it was not
touched. The terrific power of the lightning
was shown by the have it made in tearing
away the outside of the house wherever it
passed along, sending pieces of lumber more
than 80 feet, and one person said broken
clapboaFd was lodged near grist Mill $50
feet away. One hundred ard thirty panes of
glass were broken. In Closeup stairs, I'M

have dispersed the lightning in the manner
above described. The main part of the fluid
after reaching the ground tunnelled along
about 80 feet, and passing through lot of
small stone which it tore and whrled about
in terrific manner, disappeared in the gut
ter through which at that time a rapid stream
OF water was running. Although the passage
of the lightning around the house made
smoke and strong sulphurous
smell, no actual fire was kindled. There were
no lightning rods ON the house.
The family escaped injury almost mracu-
lousy. They fortunately were all, Except
Mr.. Robe, who was in the barn across the
street,) in the kitchen at the time, and said
they felt the shock very little, and really ap-
peared to have been at the instant much less
startled than many others at considerable
distance away.
