JEFFE COUNTY, n. Y, at the eastern
end Of Lake Ontario, suffered from terri
bic storm Thursday mig 1T. Four inches of
rain fell in four hours. Much damage was
done to crops. railroads and other property.
All trains north from Watertown On the
Rome, WATERFOWL and Ogdensburg Rail-
road we're abandoned for day. Property
in a number of places was set on fire by
lightning and consumed. The individual
losses will be seriously felt Whole fields of
grain and other products are ruined. Grain
which had been harvested and stacked was
swept away by the food. One man at
Watertown was awakened by his bed feel
ing wet, and be opened his eyes to find the
front door of his house open, the water two
feet deep on the floor, and cradle contain
ing baby asleep floating around. 10
sore places live stock has been swept away
and lost. Along the St. Lawrence river
the storm was terrific and gave many camp
ing parties serious trouble. The lightning
was almost continuous and painfully vivid.

IF the editor of the N essenqer is satisfied
with his position, perhaps We ought to be.
Possibly he does not fully realize what his
position is Let him for a moment try to
see himself as others sec him Let him sup
pose that on the eighth ballot at Hydepsrk
Mr.. Barlow had been nominated that the
editor of this paper had thereupon moved
to make it unanimous, in speech in which
he avowed great personal friendship for Mr..
Barlow and declared that he would do
credit to the District, IN Com ress; that the
nomination had then by rousing and unani-
nous vote, been made unanimous that tho
editor of this paper had accepted the duty of
announcing the result. to Mr.. Barlow. and
had discharged the duty with renewed ex
pressions of friendship that no had also
accepted the result in his paper, and hoisted
Mr.. Barlow name and declared that Mr.
Barlow had made a gallant fight and con-
quered the esteem of many who did not pre-
viously admire him; and that he had taken
much credit to himself thereafter for the
manly way in which he had accepted the
neyitab.e-would he think it quite the
thing for the editor of this paper to ire
new hostilities" against Mr. Barlow ?
Would he not say that if not another man
on his side supported the nomination the
FREE Pass editor must support it; and
that if any chose to bolt. the editor sfore-
said was the last man who could
afford to give them the faintsst encourage
ment, much less to scurry round and make
himself active in organizing bolt We
think he would, and that he would be
right.
There happen to be what the Messenger
calls 'conventionalities," which take pretty
close hold on personal honor. and which a
man cannot afford to let ego for nothing"
if he expects to retain, not alone party
standing, but standing among honorable
men. We trust the editor of the Messenger
will not forfeit either standing.
