Another Cloudburse.


 OTTAWA, Ills, June 2O.-The village of Utica, nine miles west of here, was the scene of cloudburst Thursday afternoon, and within five minutes all telephone and telegraph communication with the rest of the world was cut off.
 At one burst torrent poured itself upon the village and almost instantly the streets were buried under water that rose over lawns, porches, and then into houses, driv ing the inhabitants from their homes and their places of business to seek safety on the highest point available.
 The excitement and anguish of the flee ing, panic stricken villagers were terrible in the extreme. Many of them believed their last hour had come. Mothers hugged their children to their breasts and prayed for deliverance.
 Scene of Desolation. Utica today presents terrible scene of desolation. The roads from here to that stricken village are almost completely blockaded, and it required five hours of time for your correspondent to reach the inundated village in a carriage. Along the Illinois and Michigan canal for two miles great holes are torn in the bank for a distance of 5000 feet, and for ten miles the water in the canal is not more than 8 foot or two in depth. The people of the village lose from $7O, 900 to $75, 900 in furniture and merchan- disc. The Rock Island Railroad company loses between $4O, 900 and $45, 900 as the re- suit of the destruction of seven cars, the iron bridge over the Peguinsoggin and the work that will be necessary in removing some 1O, 900 feet of sand and earth which the cloudburst and storm precipitated upon the road. The farmers north of the inundated vil- lage lose not less than 5000, as all crops for 8 half dozen miles are destroyed. The total loss by the storm will reach SOC, 900.

VOLUME XXI.

With to-dsy's issue the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS enters upon the third decade of its existence. Its interests are identified with this section, and it is welcome weekly visitor to thou sand homes in this region as we'll as g messenger bearing tidings to scores of homes between Maine and California, Canada and the Gulf of Mexico-homes in which some member of the family IS a native of Litch6eld, Berkshire, Dutch ess or Columbia counties. ...
 Time has wrought great changes dur ing 20 years; changes in the religious world ,iu the political world. in the busi- ness world, in the social world. Death has entered many homes, nevertheless on the present subscription list of THE NEWS are the names of scores of the orig inal fve-hundred subscribers, persons who have patronized THE NEWS since its initial number. Such substantial support IS not only evidence of their devotion to THE NEWS but it illu strates the devotion of THE NEWS to the inter ests of its subscribers. Such evidence of mutual interest and esteem is gratify- ing to all. During 20 years THE NEWS h4s chronicled all the changes in this section, as we'll as recorded the impor- tAnt events that have transpired through ont the world.
 For the benefit of comparatively new subscribers we will briefly state the
 HISTORY OF THE NEWS
 THE CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS was born at Salisbury, Conn.,, Friday morn ing, July IA. 1871. Moved to Canaan in October 1876. Established the Camp Meeting daily in 1877. The Camp Meeting daily died at Canaan Aug 2s, 1882 The late JL Peass was the four- Ger of THE NEWS, and he continued as it's editor and proprietor until his sudden death, of pneumonia, at Canaan, June 30, 1878. THE NEWS was purchased by 8 syndicate of Canaan citizens on December l, 1878. Col J. B. Harden bergh was one of the stockholders, and he was chosen as editor and manager of the paper. Subsequently he became sole owner of THE NEWS, and on April 8. 1883 he sold the plant to $. c. Beck ley who from that date to the present time has endeavored to give the patrons of THE NEWS full equivalent for their money.
 The continued success of THE NEWS siil not depend entirely on the efforts of it's proprietor and editor who promis. es to faithfully perform his duty, but its success will in large measure de. pend upon the amount of advertising and job printing given@it and also upon the promptness with which subscrip. tions are paid. To the original sub. scribers especially we would say: THI NEWS will continue to be your friend and to the later and recent subscribert we would state that THE NEWS can be- come your beuu idsal of s newspaper ii you will lend it a helping hand in vari ous ways; at least do not cripple it by tardy or long delayed remittance g. Ever bear in mind that 'the laborer if worthy of his hire' and that even { newspaper cannot "make bricks with out straw.
