During The thunder storm Of last satur
day evening lightning struck tho chimney o
the house Of Jas Elslury, north Of town, tear
ing it literally to pieces. The bolt went dowl
the stove pipe, tearing it to shrcds, and doWl
through tic floor Of the room up stairs. I
played around all over tho room beneath, tear
ing uD the carpet, then running along TIL
edge of tho ceiling and through the wall int
the next room, where it ran down the stow
pipe and through tho floor under tho house
where after playfully running along the foo
joice for while, it disappeared into tn
ground. Strange to say, the family, thougl
all in bed in the house at the time were neithe
injured or even shocked by the bolt, neithe
did it set anything on fire. Lightning doe
play some curious freaks.
In another column appears the announce
ment of the Railroad commissioners. inform
ing the citizens along the liucs Of the Grea
Northern of the dates when they will visit th
respective towns The date for Hope is th
18th OF July, at 5 O'Clock p. IN. 1t is to b
presumed that with the experience the citizen
had will, entertaining them a year ago, tn
citizens of Hope will rot call a mass meeting
Of citizens to wait upon them this trip in ortle
to state our grievances. 4 committee was ap
pointed at that time, which entertained then
royalty, and afterward meeting was held
when numerous grievances against our rail
way accommodations was brought before tha
august body, and they promised to see tia
certain things We're remedied. We never evel
heard from them on the matters afterWard
and things remain as they were before.
