Our BathinO Facilities.

With as much water as there is in the vi
cinity of Wilmington, it seems almost won~
deriul that there is not better provision
made for the accommodation Of those who
are fond of bathing. If persons bathe in
the Christianna during the day, they are IL
able to fine. If they bathe in the Brandy
wine they are compelled to do so half
dressed, otherwise be subject to arrest.
This would not be so unpleasant if decent
place was provided; but as it now is the
bathers have but little pleasure. The place
allowed for all the boys and men in the
city consists of mill race, ten feet wide,
and about fifty yards long that is about
the limit of the swimming ground. This
should be avoided, and place set apart in
the creek itself, andif necessary let it be
fenced about with boards, and then impose
fine If the fence is in any way mutilated.

Li0ztninU in Chester County.

The storm of last Wednesday seems to
have been rather severein it's visit to Ches-
ter county, as well as in this city, as will
appear from the following:
A heavy charge of the electric current
struck tree in front of Thomas Philips
house, Upper Uwchlan, and at the time he
and others were loading hay not far dis
tant, and his little son, Josiah was on one
of the tongue horse. The sudden clap OF
thunger startled the team, when the little
fellow fell off. The passing wheel grazed. his
head, removing so much OF the scalp that
his life was despaired of. The hired boy
who was on the other horse also fell off and
was seriously hurt. One evening of the
same week, the house of Mrs. Rookie, in
Pughtown, was also struck without any Sc
rjous result except the slight shattering OF
the cornice and the profuse scattering OF the
stone coal iu the cellar.
A house in Madisonville, Chester county.
owned by Messrs. Stauier Il Pennypacker,
and occupied by Mr.. John Neiman, was
struck by lightning. The bolt entered the
roof at one of the chimEeys and descended
between the plastering and weather board
Ing. In the second story room, lot OF
clothing was strewn about the floor, and
covered with the plastering that was knock
ed off. From here the fluid passed DOWN as
before, between the plastering and weather
boarding, tearing and throwing the pieces
in every direction.
A tenant house belonging to Mr.. John
Baldwin, near Romansville, and occupied
by Mr. VIM. Marsh and family, was struck
by lightning, but, happily, none of the in
mates, seven in number, sustained any in
Jury. The fluid followed the rod down
about half the distance, where it separated,
and part took It's way into the building
and down into the cellar, making the plas-,
ter fly in ali directions and filling the house
with & sufIocating odor. Mrs. Marsh was
about to carry one Of her children up stairs
when the electric current came, she, with
the child, would most undoubtedly have
been killed,
