A very remarkable meteorological
phenomenon occurred Saturday after
noon and evening. An inch of rain fell
during that time, and was accompanied
by thunder and lighting. Vile rain is

the people will insist upon it the reform
can be brought about in any State, and
the finding of a verdict by the majority
of the jury become the universal rule
