in the morning about the 1st of Au-

perhaps the 9Th of August, hiinh; and
clear that woke about sunrise, and
having n good view Of the western
horizon from my position in bed saw
one of The most strange and beautiful
sights that ever met INV eyes. II was
located north # west from my house,
and a lew degrees above the horizon,
il was perfectly round and some larger
apparently than the full moon, and of
intense brightness. II rcscmbled more
an electric light than anything | can
compare il TO. My first thought was
that il was repeater, as the sun was
about rising. Satisfied it was not, !
awokc my wife and she got out of bed
and looked at il from two windows on
the west side of the house and watched
ii until it gradually faded away rs the
sun rose higher in the cast These arc
the facts and we have no comments TO
make, leaving that to wiser heads than
ours. j. I. ID.

that while the average rainfall in the

will reach millions of dollars, and il
will be long time before the damage
to houses, mills, bridges and Other
structures is repaired, while much val.
liable property has been swept away
and totally destroyed. Several lives
have been lost, but the short list OF
fatalities is matter tor rejoicing. The
storm was severe in this section, but
did not attain the proportions observ-
able in and about New York. The end
does NOT seem to be yet. Last nights
rain, which was insignificant here, was

Lave received copy OF "a
Narrative of the Services of the Officers
and Men OF the Savanth pn"'o,~... -.
1862 to 1866" The book is a full and
comprehensive history of the regiment
during its period of service, ana is a
valuable contribution to the history OF
Vermont in the war. The Seventh was
peculiarly unfortunate in being assigned
TO service under Gen. b. +. Butler,
who, for reasons suggested in the vol
ume, nursed grudge against the state
Of Vermont, which he vented upon the
Seventh. Butler was probably the
most incapable soldier that obtained
Important command in the war, aud
his judgment of the conduct of
the regiment ut the battle of
Baton Rouge was evidently less the
judgment of soldier than the express
sion of private malice. The author OF
the work, Col. William c. Holbrook,
does full justice 10 his regiment, and
every Vermonter will be glad TO see
how complete is his answer to the
charges OF Butler. The regiment bore
its part gallantly in several actions,
which are fully detailed. The book is
handsomely printed Oh heavy paper,
with ample margins, aud embelish d
with a steel portrait of the gallant Col.
Roberts, the first commander of the
regiment, who fell at the battle of
Baton Rouge. The book was prepared
at the request of Hon. &. G.. Benedict,
state military historian, and of several
members of the regiment, and anyone
who reads it will feel that the work
has been well done, and is creditable
both to the author and to the regiment.
1t is much to be wished that similar
histories of all our Vermont regiments
could be prepared, while so many
members survive to afford valuable in

based upon the ground of hostility TO
