MANCHESTER NEWS.

The storm was felt over this way yester-
day evening Just about as much as in Rich
mond. Among the. casualties we note the
following:
Mrs. Traylor's new brick house, on Balm
bridge street, was struck, but no damage of
consequence. A large tree was uprooted on
Seventh street, one on Bainbridge, and four
or. five on Hull street. The streets now
undergoing the grading process are in an
impossible condition. Seventh street could
accommodate few such vessels like the
Great Eastern without touching hard bottom
anywhere.
The lightning struck house on Ninth
street occupied by Mr.. Manly, damaged
mantlepieces considerably, destroyed plas-
tering OF the house, frightening the inmates,
but failed to shock anybody.
a tree was struck in the yard OF Dir. Bo-
ram on Ninth street. Nobody hurt.
AT Belle Isle the house OF MIR. William
Lamb was struck and a young lady, Miss
Anne Griffith, SO badly shocked that she
was unconscious for some time, and is not
considered out OF danger yet.

has information that good service was rem
dered General Crook in his late engagement
on Goose creek by seventy Shoshones from
the Shoshone agency, Wyoming. The Gene
raj expressed his thanks for their assistance,
and remarked that they seemed to be under
better than ordinary discipline, and be-
haved with marked bravery during the eri-
gagement. After the fight was over they
returned in good order to the agency, hay

In council on the 14th instant i.of the
Sioux agreed to remain at the agency, but
the Cheyennes could not be prevailed upon
to do so. The Indian agent at Fort Peck
and Yankton agencies have reported to the
Commissioner OF Indian Affairs that none OF
their Indians have left their agencies for
Sitting Bulls camp. Most OF the Fort Peck
Indians have gone up towards the Brltish
possessions on their usual summer hunt.
