OTAE6 CksOES 9AAAG6Os A barn belonging to Aaron L. Enc of Sims bury containing thirty tons of hay, one hun. dred and fifty shocks of rye and few farm ing tools was struck by lightning and de- stroyed.
 Another barn near the road was saved with much dif6cnlty, and tobacco shed in the rear. MT. Eno's loss is about $1 ,500.
 A COW KILLED.
 A valuable COW belonging to Mr. D. B. Mclean was killed in the pasture Tobacco and other crops were considerably damaged by the high wind.
 A LARGE TREE BURNED BY LIGHTNING.
 The inhabitants of East Granby beneld the novel spectacle on Saturday of a burning green tree. A large chestnut tree, about sixteen feet in circumference at the base, in full leaf and bearing heavy crop of nuts, was struck by lightning and set on fire. The flames leaped fifty feet or more in to the air, and the trunk, converted into charcoal, glowed far into the night-a verit- able pillar of fire. The tree stood on high hill east of the residence of Mir. George Viets and had in former years been struck by lightning. This may have somewhat demer- aiized the trunk, which was hollow.
 BARN BURNED IN WEST MAITLAND.
 The barn of Nathaniel w. Gaylord of West Hartland was struck by lightning duriEg the storm Saturday afternoon and destroyed by fire. The loss is total, with partial insurance. BALL OF FIRE AT LONG LAKK-REMARKABLE
 PHENOMENON.
 A most singular scene was witnessed on Long lake, Winsted, during the storm. At 3:15 vivid flash of lightning, followed by a terrific peal of thunder, was seen. The wind was blowing with cyclonic force. Suddenly there came roar and far down the lake a huge flame of fire was seen. The water for yards ahead was parted as though by giRsn- tic blow and the pillows seemed to rise at the sides of this furrow, for fully 20 feet. The ball of fire appeared to force the water aside and so deep did it go that the bottom of the lake could almost be seen as it passed through the narrows. The parted waters, with their singular propeller, sd- vanced toward the head of the lake with great rapidity. When within 100 yards of the shore there came another Hash of lightning, and the fire disappeared es suddenly as it had come: The residents along the lake who witnessed this strange phenomenon were greatly alarm ed. They insist that the ball of fire was fully ten feet long, and half of the mass appeared to be buried in the waters of the lake. It was many hours before the waters or the lake be- came calm. No explanation is offered for this remarkable performance.

cheek double the size Of the other
containing a big chew Of the weed.
I was an incessAut smoker and chewer
for thirty years, aud expended
a great deal of money for the worthless
article. Iquit chewing over five years
ago, because l had n wife. 1 quit
smoking last September because 1 had

To those who wish to quit, either
smoking or chewing, my advice is TO
sop, aud never let there be such u
word as fail. IL they really stop they
will feel much better.
The frequency Of fatalities among
cigarette smokers is on the increase,
