IT is no wonder that Chicago is an
unhealthy place if they often have such
sudden changes as on Monday last. AT
one o'clock z. M. the mercury register
ed eighty-one, and was still rising, when
heavy thunderstorm broke over the
city, which cleared away as the wind
changed from south to northeast. 1t
grew rapidly colder during the after
noon, until at six p. M. the mercury
stood at fifty, a fall of at least thirty
degrees in four hours. On Tuesday a
man in the same city died from sun
stroke, showing the great change again.
A TERRIBLE storm passed over Blair
county on Monday of last week. At
Hollidaysburg the wires of the Court
House were melted. The first peal of
thunder was so sudden and terrific that
several ladies dropped as if killed. Others
ran to their mirrors to ascertain if their
hair had been turned white, but so far
as heard from no person was killed or
permanently made gray. In other parts
of that county the storm was terrific.
Windows were broken and many per-
sons were badly scared
