refers 10 low pressure. and is usually preceded
and accompanied BY cloudy weather and rains.
Lows" usually first appear on the Washington

 Last Friday afternoon abont three o'clock in severe thunder shower, lightning struck the hotel brick barn setting fire to the hay on the upper floor, almost instantly it was in blaze Several persons near by received severe shocks and saw the ball of fire fall. It was occupied by ". NJ. Geer for his liv- cry, but only three horses were in it at that time; they were all saved with the carriages. Soon as the alarm was given many people hastened amid the pour. ing rain to give assistance, and with great effort the hotel and W. H. Little's house was saved from taking fire. The rain was very welcome and but for that it would have been impossible to have saved the other buildings. The barn was destroyed except the north wall.
