This is certainly a remarkable season
for storms. Another one, unique in
some Of its characteristics, came up last
evening shortly after. seven o'clock. The
sky never looked more omiuous hero,
but beyond q very heavy rain which
was soon over, and a rather heavy gale
which did no harm, the threats OF the
peculiar clouds did not materialize. Tho
richness and variety OF fiery colors in
the clouds which have characterized
several recent storms were again noticed,
and no theory Of reflection Of sunlight
will account for the peculiar effects. 1t
was evidently an electric phenomenon.
The lightning played noiselessly over
tho eastern sky nearly without inter-
mission till q late hour this morning.
