The Great Storm.

Hardly ever" in the memory o.
the oldest inhabitant has such fearful
storm been known as that wi hich oc.
Cured here on Thursday evening last
1t was accompanied by terrific wind
which did considerable damage in up
roofing and breaking down shade and
fruit troes, blowing down fences, scat
tering the harvested wheat crops and
prostrating much of that which had
not been cut, and in some instances
unroofing barns and outbuildings. The
wind storm extended throughout the
county, but its greatest fury was ex-
hibited in the eastern portien of it.
During the night of Thursday the rain
came down in torrents almost incess-
antly and was accompanied by the
most vivid lightning and terrific thun.
der during the entire night. The top
of one of the chimnies OH the Frazer
building and one on the Commercial
House were blown down limbs were
broken from several trees in Court
House Park and in other parts of
town, and fruit and shade trees were
destroyed or greatly damaged. AT
about 3 80 a. M, Friday, the residence
Off. F. Armstrong, corner of Elm and
Cedar streets was struck by lightning,
the fluid entering the chimney and
setting fire to the building in two
places, but, fortunately, the fire was
promptly extinguisEed and but slight
damage done.
The damage suffered in Charlestown
was greater than at any other point in
the county so far as we have learned.
The steeple on the M. E. Church was
blown over, and large tree near the
residence of Mr.. John Holden at the
Center, was blown over against the
house, doing considerable damage.
The harm of Mr.. D. d. Gilman was un.
rooted and the shingles stripped from
the roof of his house so as to cause it
to leak badly, doing considerable dam
age besides this nearly all the east and
west fences on 800 acres of Mr.. Gill
mans farm were prostrated. Mr.. w.
p. Knapp informs US that the storm
did $1,000 damage upon the farm of
himself and brother. Two valuable
cows belonging 10 Mr.. Il. w. King,
residing in the northeast part Of the
township. were struck by lightning
aud killed.
We have no definite reports from
other townships, and can give no es-
innate Of the extent of the damage
occasiOned by the storm, but from the
received the storm was
very severe throughout this region
and will occasion heavy losses to the
farmers.
On Friday afternoon another storm
came up threatening to be equally as
destructive as that of the evening pre-
vious, but it was of short duration |
and we do not learn that it occasioned |
any considerable damage IN this vi.
entity. !

Edwin B00th i'm ESheum a tism.
Edwin Booth suffers terribly some
times from rheumatism, and if he were
not one of the most amiable of mortals
would, doubtless, indulge in vigorous
Anglo-Saxon expletives. He takes
refuge, however, in a weIlsmoked
corn-cob pipe when the attack is on
him, using no other medical treatment
than a preparation originally tested by
his brother-in-law, J. II. Magonigie.
This affords him almost instant relief,
and in place of indulging in profanity
when the rheumatism nips him, he
calls for Giles Liniment Iodide AM
monia, which he buys by the gallon.

The greatest storm of the season Wis
tied us last Thursday evening and con-
tinued large part of the night. The
greatest depth of water fell during the
night which has been known for years.
The storm was accompanied by con-
stant flashes of lightning, followed by
deafening peals of thunder. The spire
of the Congregational Church was
struck by lightning during the night,
infiicting some damage, and many
trees about the neighboring forests
were shattered, Yesterday another
storm passed over; the wind almost
blowing tornado, scattering loose ar
ticles promiscuously. Hail of large
size fell short distance north of this
place, and in many places did much
damage.
Last night Carl Truesdall, while
standing on the rear part of E. c.
Sweets dray, was thrown therefrom
by the horse starting up suddenly. He
fell upon his back. striking upon some
stone in the street, which caused
serious bruise on the back of his head.
The boy was severely injured, but is
doing well and will probably soon re-
cover.
Last night the Ladies Aid Society of
Garrettsville Lodge No. 246 F. & A.
NJ, held q musical entertainment for
the benefit of the lodge, at Buckeye
Hall. The attendance was large con-
sidering the unpropitious state of the
weather. Some very fine pieces of
music were rendered. exhibiting high
degree of musical culture on the part
of those presenting them. The 500
by F. II. Crane, entitled " Who'll save
the Left" was one of the best produc-
tions of the evening. Mr.. crane did
much credit to the musical abilities of
which he is the unmistakable possess
or. Esmaraldi," by Miss Jessie Lee,
called forth much applause. She is an
attractive singer, and will ere long
win many laurels. The solo entitled
3" My Fathers Half Rushel," rendered
by Mr.. Theodore Caldwell, of Park
man, created much merriment by its
sentiment, and was well presented.
At the close of the exercises ice cream
was served. OBSERVER.

DURING the season, till last Thursday
evening, but little lightning and thun.
der had visited this region, and il
seems as though the elements had been
gathering the material for the grandest
pyrotechnical display on that occasion
eyer witnessed by the people of this
vicinity. During the whole night long
the atmosphere seemed all ablaze with
electricity, while the earth fairly trem.
bled with the deep diapason of the
thunder peals that followed each 9TH
er in rapid succession. 1t was terrif-
ically grand.
QUlTE large and enthusiastic Sher-
man demons ration was held in Court
House park Saturday AFTERNOON, which
was addressed by sheriff Keller. He
presented a number of very powerful
arguments in favor of the Radical Fl.
nanciaI policy, and succeeded in con-
vincing his hearers that a small sum
of "honest money" will purchase a
much larger amount Of property than
it would before the days of resump-
ton. We observed several persons
standing among the crowd who pur-
chased property on credit when green.
backs were the measure of its value,
who were able to see that they missed
it in not waiting few years until the
business of the country and the prices
of property were established upon q
EsOlid" basis. There were others
among the audience who seemed to
realize the situation aud profit by the
changed condition of our financial af-
fairs.
