STRANGE ELECTRICALPHE.
NOMENA

A very singular electrical phenomena oc-
Cured on Main street, soon after ten
O'Clock, on Wednesday, during the pro-
gress of the heavy storm, the edge of
which barely passed over Doylestown.
The streets were almost deserted at the
time, and probably the strange sight was
witnessed by only one or two persons. A
ball OF fire, about foot in diameter was
first observed, which after rolling about
the pavement and street, between Hart's
bank and the Rhoads property, finally
bursted and filled the street with bright
red light The phenomena lasted about
two minutes, and is desc, lbed as a most
beautiful and brilliant sight. The strange
feature OF the phenomena is that no report
accompanied the electrical fire ball. A
gentleman living on Court street, who saw
the light from his window, was Mortified al
what he thought was the Rhoaas building
In flames. When about to give the alarm
the light disappeared in puff Of smoke as
suddenly as It came. The phenomena was
like that seen the same evening at Nassau
and Fulton streets, New York city, which
was minutely described next morning il

Wednesday afternoon at about hslf-past
four o'clock, Bloomsbury was visited by
the greatest rain fall ever-known. Water
flowed down on the North side of Second
street In such abundance that the cutters
could not contain it. There was an over
flow at Centre and Second street, which
caused the water to flow into j. Mann's
hotel to the depth Of six inches. The
pavements were covered with water from
|. W. McKelvy's store down to the Sterner
building. Water flowed into the cellars Of
l. WI Hartman, G. b. Chrisman, and
g. w. Sterner's. The storm was only OF
about 10 minutes duration. A large qnan-
tity of hail fell at the same time.

shadow fell across his bright prospects. 1t

seemed doomed to an early grave. Then

NORMAL. SCHOOL NOTES.

Everything about the Normal is now be-
ing put in the very best shape, and every
person both teacher and pupil Is thinking
and talking only of the state examining board
which comes to us next week, 18th inst.
The committee consists of Dep. Supt.
Houck, Prin Eckels of the Shippensburg
Normal School, and Supts. Myers OF Miffiin,
and johnson of Union Go.
Preparatory to the coming of the CON-
mittee, every member of the Junior and
Senior classes, is subjected to rigid written
examinations upon all subjects included in
the respective years OF the Elementary
Course. THIS week Is devoted largely to
this work. The Senior class numbers
seventy-eight, and there are about eighty
five Juniors. The great majority of these
stand well and are fully up in every de-
partment, with any proceeding classes.
These examinations are perhaps, a neces-
| sary evil, and while they can be in no sense
proper or just criterion of a students
mental growth OF tnought-power, yet they
furnish a relative standing by which, we,
as faculty, can, in a measure, deter
mine who should or should not appear be-
fore the state board OF examiners. The
matter given in these examinations should
be and generally is as thoroughly practical
as it is possible to make it,
| DIR. Waller spent all of last week at the
Slipper Rock school conducting examina-
tions there. This week he is similarly en-.
gagged at California, and next week he will
look over the years work at the Clarion
School. Thus you will see that he is al
ready actively entered upon his duties and
belongs to us no longer,
During these absences Prof Curran has
charge Of affairs, and he will also go tC
the Indiana school to serve on the examin
ing COMMITTEE in the capacity of Blooms
burg's Principal.
AS the year is closing many inquiries
come for catalogues aud general informa
tion pertaining to next year, and the out
look is indeed promising.
