by those who delight to look a such sights,
and are not afraid, as many people are.
1t looked exactly as if many OF the dis
plays of lightning were really set pieces OF
fire works, and they were indeed much
more beautiful and Of course decidedly
more vivid than any that could have been
manufactured by human hands. The most
beautiful of the displays were in the North,
Eastern and Western sky, and on account
of the fact that no rain came with it, people
were enabled to see this electrical storm
