A Wintry Blast.

Shortly after two o'clock yes
terday afternoon a high wind
spraug up from the west,
and in that direction the gathering
clouds indicated the approach of a
storm. The thermometer fell very
rapidly, and in a few moments the
storm broke upon US in the shape of
a furry of snow. In Butte
but little snow fell, but
on the hills north of the
city a binding snow storm
ragged for several minutes. Old
timers say it was the coolest day
they have experienced in August
since August 18th, 1869, when the
snow lay on the ground four inches
deep, and at Yam Hill icicles as
large as your arm formed upon
the sluice boxes.

Like q Blow in the Back.-HOW 1t
Feels to be Struck by Light
n!ng-An unpleasant Ex-
perience "Above the
Clouds.

Curtis B. Wells, of this city, has
received a letter from Henry NJ.
Burt. detailing the editors expert
ence with tightening. Mr.. Burt GER
tainly had a marrow escape. He
writes:
"a little after 6 o'clock Saturday
night l WAS in my Office, lin the old
Summit House on Mount Washing
ton,) and had just given directions to
Darby about making up y form,
when all a once 1 felt a tremendous
blow in my back. I could not at
imagine at first what caused it,
but instantly thereafter l saw a ball
of fire as large a a mans head di-
rectly in front of me, not three feet
off. 1t exploded with a tremendous
noise, seemingly as loud as a cannon,
and then [ knew what must have
happened. My left leg seemed
to be completely paralyzed, and l fell
to the floor. Three OF my printers
were in the room al the time, two
sitting at the table near me and One
standing up a little further off. The
up another was hit in the back. and
the third escaped without injury.
A first 1 felt as though a ball had
gone through my body, and that all
below had been shot away. [ was
startled and COMPOUNDED, but did not
lose consciousness. The young man
who could get out of the Office ran to
the hotel, the Summit House, and
told what had happened. Help came
Immediately, and / was removed to
my room in the hotel and undressed.
DR.. Strong, q medical student of
Harvard took my case in charge, and
treated ME with great skill. In the
curse of two or three hours l could
begin to move my leg a very little.
This (Monday) morning l find my
self quite comfortable. though 1 can
not walk without a cane, and my
leg pains me considerably. I can
assure you that it was q narrow es-
cape from instant death, and for one
l do not care to 60 through another
experience like it. Asthe storms are
all, or most of them, below the sum-
nit, We have very little fear of being
struck by lightning. In fact for thir-
ty years nc one has been hurt or had
such a narrow escape from death. It
is an old saying that lightning never
strikes twice at the same place, and l
am sure 1 don't care to have it. We
were all the more surprised from the
fact that until the bolt came in we
had pO idea of the presence of an
electric storm. 1t had begun to rain
a little, but there had been no flashes
of lightning. 1t was as startling as
it would have been to get a clap of
Thunder out of a clear sky. You
have probably heard Of the impress
sion of a tree being found upon the
bodies of those killed by lightning.
The same thing was noticed upon
my back, and, as there are no trees
upon Mount Washington, it seems
10 me that the peculiar appearance
must be the result of the blood set
ting in the smaller veins."-From
the Hartford (C1nn.) Courant, July
81.

The Bad Boy Rehearsing.

20, We have struck it now" said
the bad boy. I'VE are going to have
amateur theatricals TO raise money
to have the church carpeted and I
am going to boss the job"
"Pa and ma, and me, ard the min
lister, and three choir singers, and my
chum, and the minister's wife, and
two deacOns and an old maid are re-
hearsing, but VIZ have lot decided
what to play yet. They all want to
play a different play, and 1 am fix
ing it SO they "A all be satisfied.
The minister wants to play Hamlet,
pa wants to play Rip Van Wrinkle,
ma wants to play Mary Anderson,
the old maid wants to play q board
ing school play and the choir singers
want an opera, and the minister's
wife wants to play Lady Macbeth,
double song and dance, and / am 60
ing to give them all a show. We had
a rehearsal last night, and I am the
only q able to oe around to-day.
You see they have all been studying
different plays, and they all wanted
to talk at once. We let the minister
sail in first. He had on a pair of his
wife's black stockings and a mantle
made of linen buggy lap-blanket,
and he wore a mason's cheese knife
such as these fellows with poke bon
nets and white feathers wear when
they get an invitation to a funeral or
an excursion. Well, you never saw
Hamlet murdered the way he did it.
His Interpretation of the character
was that Hamlet was a dude that
talked through his nose, and while
he was repeating Hamlet's sOliloquy,
pa, who had come in with an old
suit on, as Rip Van Wrinkle,
went to steep and he didn't wake up,
till lady Macbeth came in, in the
sleep-walking scene. She couldn't
find a knife, so l took a slice of water
and sharpened it for her, and
she made a mistake in the one she
wanted to slap, and she stabbed
Hamlet ia the neck with a slice of
watermelon, and the corr of the mel
IN fell upon pas face, as he lay
sleep as Rip, and when Lady Mac
,eth said, Out damned spot pa
woke up and felt the COB of the

Progress at Public School No. L.

Progress at Public School No. I've
understand that the years work at
public school No. l opens this fall
under more favorable auspices than
ever. Especially is this noticeable in
the advanced room, where some
twenty-six young ladies and gentleman
are under the immediate charge of the
principal. The first class in this
room, four of whom hold teachers GER
tifcates, are pursuing high school
studies. They have completed an ele-
mentary algebra and will shortly take
up an advanced work. They have fin
ished six books of geometry and expect
soon to begin trigonometry. Daily
drills are given in the dissection of the
sentence, and pratieal mastery of the
English is aimed at by requiring pupils
every day to rewrite in their own Ian
guage the substance of dispatches,
local news and other suitable clippings
from the press. In this way it is
thought that pupils will learn to han
die the mother-tongue as reporters,
editors and other writer's learn it-that
is by practice.
Text books are mainly used
for reference, and abstracts and
topics are introduced whenever prac-
ticable.
All the department Of the
the school are said to be in good work
ing order by those in position to
know. The assistantteachers are now
fully familiar with Mr.. Buckeyes "sys-
tem," and are Loyalty striving to help
him make the school success.
A new and interesting feature re-
Gently introduced by the principal is
series of Friday afternoon lectures
on elementary science, illustrated by
numerous experiments. The exer-
cises are interspersed with music fur
nished by the pupils. 1t is hoped by
the principal to make this work per-
manent feature of the school.
