1t is stated that Pillsbury declines all calls to
speak during this campaign, unless the invitations
are accompanied with fifty dollars in each individ-

the democrats may be induced to waste their
money in that direction. They couldn't invest
their money during this campaign in manner
which would be more satisfactory to the republi
cans generally.

The terrific bolt Of thunder which was heard by
all our people On Friday evening, few minutes
before ten o'clock struck two shade trees in front
of the residence of Mr.. Charles Hewins on State
street. The trees are maple. of goodly size, and
stand in the yard, some twenty-five fee. from the
house. At the time of the crash, Mr.. Hewins was
sitting in his north front chamber, about fifty feet
distant from the trees. 1t seemed to him as
though the whole house had been smashed into
splinters; he seemed to be paralyzed for the in
slant, although he did not lose his consciousness.
He Immediately made an examination of the
house, being almost certain that it had been
struck. The wet leaves of the trees had attracted
the electric current, showing that trees in that
condition are as perfect lightning conductors as
can be furnished. The bark was stripped from
one, and the other was spintered somewhat, and
the sap has been oozng out at the trunk, One OF
the neighbors saw the ball of fire descend, and in

companies were drawn up near the foot Of Oak
St., team came rafting down the hill, and drove
through the crowd, not waiting for the way to be
cleared. One of the members Of the Portland
Company was run over and hurt in the side.
The democrats were struck in dumb silence by
the splendid display, and if any Of them heard
the speeches they must have come to the conclu-
sion that they were unanswerable. Their houses
were darkened many of them, and they sat "in
the region of the shadow of DEATH" But we give
our democratic friends credit for behaving
themselves handsomely. The whole affair
was grand success, and our people may
thank the republican party for giving them such
magnificent displays. The Chief Marshal, Capt.
Z. F.Wyman, is entitled to thanks for so admira-
bly, carrying out the programme. We challenge
the democrats to furnish display thatwill approx
innate it. The Augusta republicans are thankful to
their brethren in other towns for their presence and
lively enthusiasm, and hope to repay them in
kind. There could not have been less than 1000
in the city in the evening, to witness the daplay
and hear the speaking.
