One of the most terrific thunder show
ers ever experienced here passed over
this town on Tuesday afternoon. 1t
could certainly be said to bear strong re-
| semblance to a western cyclone. The
lightning which was almost constant,
| lighted everything with a sickly yellow
| glare. Hail stones, large as marbles, fell
for several moments and the wind was
| terrible. The barn ON the farm owned
| by Mrs. Hiram Blackstone was lifted
| from its foundations and moved several
feet, trees we're blown down and glass
also suffered during the fall of hail. Al
| together it was a shower which will not
soon be forgotten.

served at the Congregational church
here. As our pastor Mr.. Brown took the

not what we usually have but the large
congregation in. attendance were appar-
antly well satisfied with the efforts made
Mr.. Harry Leach of Portland, has
been at Mr.. George Noyes' for few
| days.
Miss Lizzie Chapman of Portland,
| passed Sunday at Mrs. VIM. t. Browns.

of glass. Some of the hail stones were
as large as eggs being two inches in
diameter. Among those who suffered
the worst are the Worrnbo Mfg. Co..
breaking between six and seven hundred
panes of glass, and NJ. D. Goddard owner
