FREAKS OF LIGHTNING.-In Clinton Nedues-
day, when the shower came up, three women
who were berrying went to the house of John
Gibson for shelter. In the height of the tenn
pest the house was struck by Lightning. En-.
tering the room where the ladies were, the bolt
first knocked chair in pieces, then passed to
the head of one of the women, rendering her
deaf on one side, then darted to the hand of a
third (Mrs Francis Low, thence to her foot
then passed up her leg, then encircled her body
like hoop, coloring and tearing her clothing,
thence shooting into the corner post of the
house shlvering it to pieces, thence into the
cellar and thence out of doors into hogshead
of water, and finally disappeared by passing
into the ground.
Mrs. Low was unconscious for three houis
after the stroke, and her recovery is still doubt
full Dr. Crosby of Watervlle was called.

TRAMPs.-If all stories circulated are to be
credited, the country is running over with
class of people styled tramps. There is not
night but what the lodging room at the police
station contains more or less of this class of
humanity. At the same time the tax payers
who pay the expenses of the police station are
obliged to give 81 per day for just such labor as
these men could perform if they choose. Every
merchant on Commercial street is obliged to
pay 40 cents for every hour they employ a man
to unload cars on the street. If tramps were
the least disposed to work, Commercial street
would afford an excellent field of labor. In the
vicinity of Stevens Plains they are very num-
erous. Several of them called at Mr.. Frank G.
Stevens recently, and insisted upon entering
the house. After they had been fed, Mr.. Stew
ems, who was absent at the time arrived Just
in time to drive them from the house as they
were threatening his mother. At several
places they have shown disposition to be yio-
lent if opposed. at house in Deering one of
them drew a large sailors knife on woman,
because she refused him food.
MAINE CENTRAL EXCURSIONS Superintend-
ent Tucker has hit upon the popular thing in
making liberal terms for excursion parties
along the line of that road to this city. 1t is a
great privilege to people in the interior who
desire the novelty of day at the seashore, a
sail down the harbor, aud taste of savory
chowder and delicious clans. 1t is particular
ly good thing for Portland since so many peo-
pie as are coming on these excursions must
leave little scrip with our steamboat people
aud traders generally, besides forming pleasant
acquaintance with our people. Yesterday the
Free Baptist Society of Auburn filled train
of seventeen cars from our Maine Lynn to this
city. 1t was very fine party. The greater
part of them went to the Islands. Tuesday,
August Sd, the Odd Fellows of Lewiston and
Auburn will make an excursion to this city.
Wednesday, the 4th, Winthrop will send large
party to the same destination, while on Satur-

very thing
