The threatening clouds doubtless were the cause of the comparatively small mum. Der at the Union picnic in Peck's grove last Thursday afternoon. The call to the tables came early, just in time to forestalI damage to the provisions from a slight shower, which drove a number from the woods. Most of those who left returned to listen to the speaking. Our two cler- gymen were called on and their remarks were listened to with attention. Rev. MT. Bostwick referred to the late Jeremiah Peck, whose presence at. and enjoyment of the former gatherings recalled to mind the quaint sayings and enthusiasm of that singular man. Remarks from Howard c. and William J. Peck were followed by singing which was at its height when a second dash of rain broke up the crowd, not, however, without vote to meet next year during the month of August. A lit tie forethought and concerted action might frame programme of exercises Gin which the children should have a part by all means) which would make these occa- sions most enjoyable and beneficial. But then, we might not be satisfied to meet only once year. AS it is We are certain to hear annually by full chorus that ''Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us all farm"

 On Saturday barn belonging to the late widow Flora Beers in Brookfeld, was struck by.a thunder bolt which burst in- side of it setting it on fire and blowing shingles in every direction. About 50 tons of hay and 100 shocks of grain were consumed. A valuable horse was killed, and Daniel Higgins who was standing in the door was struck and has scar the whole length of his body. He was severe. ly injured, but is recovering. Two light. ming rods were on the building and the attraction being capitalized, the lightning very naturally struck between the two They are now fantastically arranged over the ruins so as to parry any more shots.

The Centennial Circus.

On Monday of next week. afternoon and evening, Melville, Maginley & Cooke's Centennial Circus pay a visit to Litcb- field and promise fine entertainment, of the kind, as will be seen from the adver- tisement in another column. The Albany Evening Post says of it:
 This is one of the best circus companies that ever visited Albany. All the artists are stars of the first magnitude. There is not a second class performer in the whole troupe. James Rowland. the trapeze per. former, gets up an entertainment which is alone worth the price of admission. Row. land takes precedence of the world, He has no equal anywhere. He is a young man to wonder at, his courage and doings being alike worthy of astonishment. Frank Melville, as bare- back rider has a reputation which IS worldwide. Mel vile is the first man who has the nerve to ride bareback horse with child on his head. George Donald is the best pad- rider in the country, while Frank Robin. son Is the most successful and wonderful contortionist.
 The clowns, James Cooke, John Tre- walle, and D. A. Seal, keep the fun in mo- tion, and give the audience all the merri- ment they can possibly desire-Cooke so mixes humor with his wit, as to become exceedingly droll and suggestive. He got off some capital hits last evening. Cooke is man of education and refinement, and and reflects honor on the American ring.
 Among the new scenes which the Gen. tennial Circus has introduced, is the one entitled, ''The Mysteries of the Circus, |" which are explained. This is the most amusing bit of absurdities we ever saw, and pleases the audience immensely.
 This Circus is also highly spoken of in the Albany Argus which contains card of recommendation from the Mayor and others of that city from which we extrac [ the following: f
 Your performances throughout were ex- ceilent, nothing course or offensive, and therefore deeming 1t our duty to acknowl- edge the superiority of your company, we assure you. should you ever return to the city of Albany, you will meet with a hearty sceIcOme.

The shower of last Wednesday night
 told in several places. Tho house of Hem " Seeley in the south part of the town was struck by lightning. It was we'll protected
 by lightning rods, but the electric fluid did not follow them any more than some ministers do thelr texts, but wandered off,
 ruftiing up the shingle, setting fire to some rubbish in the upper story of the house, and then descending one of the posts to the ground. MT. Seeley was slightly shocked. The fire was soon ex. tinguished. and no selous damage done. Another bolt descended a stack pole on the premises of Preston s. Hollister in the east part of the town. followed the pole down to the hay and glancing off on rail at the side of the stack. Question: Are lightning rods protection against light. ming? ...,.
 Your correspondent ''J" is disposed to believe we have some good spoilers here yet. We agree with you. None of us. and none of Miss Pratt's schoolmates, would take one jewel from her crown, but we would say to H. N. that we should have been pleased to have met him with any picked nine of pupils in the district schools of Goshen three years since, with some we could select from our schools, and spend the day in exercises in reading, spelling. &c. It would give us greater pleasure than any match game of base ball we ever witnessed. We still maintain that we have more of the same sort, but he will have to come for them; they will not go before they are called. 4y9 s. ,-

This quiet little town is getting to be quite place for runaways. One occurred here last Saturday morning that came near being fatal both to man and beast. As Mir. Mather was moving in the street at Mir. Abiiah Catlin's with pair of cattle that have been counted reliable, they started all at once. upset the driver and came near mashing him with the machine. They then ran at full speed with the knives playing and cutting everything in their reach. nearly mile east with your correspondent in hot pursuit, who over took them at Mir. Jones'. Fortunately the cattle were unhurt but the machine was found bottom side up and much bro ken. va-
 A very interesting game of base ball was played here last Saturday between two picked up clubs. the Empires playing in both clubs. and the score standing two to three. @.r .s~ q
