If thunder and lightning ever strikes ter
ror to the heart, the occasion for 1t was
presented during series of thunder storms
on last Sunday night The one In question
passed over this place few minutes after
eleven o'clock p. m. 1t was only about ten
minutes duration. The aerial artillery
opened up with fearful rapidity. The vivid,
glaring and binding flashes of lightning
were accompanied by deafening peals of
thunder which echoed and re-echoed from
the hills till there was fearful and contin-
uous roar, mingled with terrific and inces-
SAINT discharges followed in rapid success
sion till one was seized with fear over
which he had no control, and which made
| him shudder in the awful solemnity and
| threatened demolition which the angry ele.
mcnts played in defiance of all: desire OF
their absence. There was a sense of thank
ful relief when this electric battery had
| passed over. There was no hail, nor strong
wind, neither excessive rain. The dstan,
mutterings of its approach gave warning
Of the character Of its dealings, as also the
dreadful sounds Of thunder indica
ted as it passed away In the dis
tancc. Every flash seemed to strike
some object. 1t was grand and sublime in
Its majesty and power, though struck with
awe during its presence, yet we looked
upon it in admiration as it passed in its
course OF awakening and refreshing. Such
noted thunder storms are of rare occur
renee.

We had quite an extensive fire in our
town on Sunday morning. AS Mr.. F. L.
Shuman and family were sitting down to
breakfast the cry Of fire was heard and on
running out they discovered the back part
OF the house to be on fire. Every effort
was at once made to save the house, but it
was found impossible to accomplish It,
though the citizens, with the aid OF the fire
engines did all they could to save the
building, but the greater part Of the furni-
ture was saved. The fire would have caus-
ed the entire destruction of that part of
town had it not been for the new water
works, but unfortunately we have not yet
hose TO use the water to the best Of advan-
tage. We hope that some one will take the
matter in charge and organize a hose CON-
pany at once and am sure this lesson will
teach the citizens to encourage 1t financial

Another of the promised articles on the
great industries of America will be given
in the July Harper's, the subject this time
being the making of "a Silk Dress" The
Philadelphia ladies of the "Woman's Silk
Culture Association" who are endeavoring
to promote the growing of silk.worms in
this country, speak of it as "Americas
new industry" but as a matter of fact silk
growing was attempted in the new world
soon after its discovery, and all through
our colonial history schemes in this direc.
tion were numerous. The morris multicaplis
mania Of about 1887 was the most extraor-
dinary outburst of the silk fever, and some
amusing stories are told of it. There is now
little silk-growing in this country, but silk
manufacturing has become leading indus
try that more than third of all the silks
worn in this country are made here, The
Harper paper will describe each step in the
process of manufacture, with many illus
trations, and ladies may learn from it some
thing as to the differences between good
and bad silk which may help them in their
shopping.

The contract for printing 1000 catalogues
for the Normal School, has been awarded
to the COLUMBIAN because our bid on the
job was $35 less than the Sentinel, and
S29.5O less than the Republican. This looks
like wide margin, but we are able to do
work OF this kind much cheaper than any
other office because of our greater facili-
ties. With our new job press we can turn
out books with about half the amount of
press work that others have to do, while
our press is run by water power and all
others go by foot power, which greatly
diminishes the labor, and enables us to
print much more rapidly. Competition is
the soul of business, and in fine work
and low prices the COLUMBIAN intends to
keep the lead
