On Thursday the 9th inst, during
the heavy shower, lightning struck the
barn of Mr.. Nelson Derby, and i'll but
a few moments, three barns with about
8 tons of hay and COW were destroyed.
Only for the presence of mind Of Mr..
Derby, the loss must have been much
greater, for large dairy Of COWS was
in stable in the barn first struck, but
these he rescued with the exception Of
one, supposed to have been killed by
the lightning. His loss is some $500 or
5000, partially insured. Let Nelson
get his timber on the ground and we
think building bee of all his friends
and neighbors would be proper. On
Monday, the 9th inst, lightning also
struck the house Of Henry Foster on
Pond Hill. 1t went down through the
chimney and exploded in the kitchen,
stunning and injuring quite seriously
his daughter Clara. At last accounts
she was comfortable.

Lately, some miscreants have tied
ropes across the two overpaths in this
village, their object undoubtedly being
to trip up some unwary passer. The
town authorities would take legal &C

could be found. The line between
boyish fun and malicious mischief
must be drawn somewhere, and the
sooner the better.
