We have received from Guar E. Row.
ell, now in San Francisco, copy of the
San Francisco China Neacs. Guar
writes "If had a Chinaman / would
send him along to read it for you, but l
have not. You must read from top to
bottom. instead of from left to right. as
in yankee doodle print" The lines run
up and down, and the columns cross-wise
of the paper. Muchee 'bligee, Guar.
A terrific thunder storm passed over
this place last night. The lightning
was very vivid and the heavy peals of
thunder came almost as sudden as the
fash. In Alden F. Stockwell's pas
ture, heavy bolt of lightning ran down
where a group of cattle and sheep were
gathered, and killed seven COWS, one OK,
one yearling and fourteen sheep. Most
of the animals belonged to Mr. Stock
we'll, and seven choice cows were killed
His loss is between three and four humid
red dollars.
We visited Forepaugh's show at New
port, and consider it much better than
the average of travelling shows of this
kind. There are many rare and excel
lent animals in the menagerie. The mu-
scum is as much as could be expected of
that part of the show, while the circus
is good-nOt perhaps better than the
average. The hat, trapeze, ball and 9th
err performances we're first-rate. The
horses are excellent. There is no disor-
der or drunkenness among the circus
men, and, on the whole. it is a good
show. This is no advertisement.
