The fine rain on last Thursday night
thermometer since then ranging from 30 to 40
degrees 10 wer than during the hottest day of
the late heated term. The rain fall in this
city during the shower, we are told, was about
one inch.
--On last Thursday evening, about half
Pleasant Valley, below this city, owned by
Gervas Ely and occupied by Charles Hunt,
was struck by lightning and destroyed, to-
gether with its contents, consisting of the
lately gathered crops, agricultural imple-
ments, &c. The barn was insured, but the
contents were not. The live stock was gotten
out of the building The loss is heavy one
to Mr.. Hunt.
The efforts Of the members of the Aque-
tong Fire Co., in pulling their steamer dur
ing the recent alarms of fire, show the me-
cessity for having a team to draw the engine.
During the excessive heat of summer, and
while the roads are muddy in winter, it is inn
possible for the men to get along with 80
heavy an apparatus. There should be some
arrangement made by which the company can
have pair Of horses. Last year the company
used the money to pay for a team which was
designed for paying man for keeping the
engine cleaned and in order, bnt it was found
ton and the horses were given up. Cannot
the Council make a special appropriation to
buy team !? The horses could be used for
carting on the streets, for purposes where the
street commissioner now hires teams and
carts, or foi other work, aud could partly if
not wholly, pay expenses. As we have now
practically but one steamer (the Union not be-
ing in service owing, as is charged, TO an un.
just refusal of Council to provide a proper
building for housing the steamer) it is import
ant that It be made as efficient as possible.
