tency can begin selecting wallpaper

The rain storm of Wednesday
centralized on Dodgoyille and wash
ed the bottom almost all out Of it,
There has not been such roar Of
cold water here since the Jack War
burton storm, rs was caused by the
vast quantity Of rain which fell in
thirty minutes. The bridge in low
er town wouldn't let the water
through, and the water couldn't get
the bridge out of the way, and the
result was, the water went off into
Bilkey's butcher shop aud sat down
on the sausage blocks, and crept into
the tallow jars, and played n great
many other impudent tricks in that
vicinity; besides creeping into Hoop
er and Prideaux's egg boxes to see
how many eggs would float, and
mixing the coloring extract of corn
fields and potato patches with their
butter, and teaching the young po-
tatoes in the cellar how TO shoot.
There was water enough aceumulat-
ed at the bridge to have filled all the
cisterns in town, if the people had
brought them there. Several whis.
ky dealers were there saving what
little they could of it for medical
purposes. In the morning, about 7
O'clock lightning struck the saloon
of II. II, Walters, shattering the
building considerable Mr.. Walters
was yet in bed in an upper room Of
the building, aud spark of The cur
rent paralyzed the end Of one of his
thumbs down to the first joint His
wife, who was in the room with him
at the same time, also received such
a shock in the head that she was
completely bewidered for several
minutes; while his son, young Harry
was down below building a fire in
the kitchen stove at the rear part Of
the building, was prostrated on the
floor by the shock. Young Mr. VIM.
Hooper, who was in his fathers
store, about fifty yards distance to
the north, was also prostrated by the
concussion.--D Dodgegille Sun.
