Mr.. Hall of the New Haven firm super
intended the setting up Of the organ and
just before his departure, an opportuni-
ty was given on July 16 to test its quail
ity and range, at an informal recital
given by Miss Gorham, organist OF the
North Congregational church, st. Johns
bury. The performance of the organ was
deemed satisfactory by its builder and
was greatly enjoyed by those who were
so fortunate as to be present. The judg-
ment of those who are experts on con-
struction as well as skilled organists,
unites in pronouncing the instrument a
fine one of its grade and well adapted to
the use for which it is designed.
There is talk OF an organ recital in the
near future with instrumental and vocal
accompaniment. 1t is hoped that the
organ may serve the musical interests of
the community as whole as we'll as of
the particular church in which it is found.
The programs of the service August 3,
issued from the CALIFORNIAN office were
eagerly sought as souvenirs.
Fridays Storm.
The storm of Friday afternoon will be
long remembered as the most severe
downpour of rain, accompanied by the
severest electrical disturbance known
here for many years. Besides the burning
of Mr. Nntting's buildings much damage
was done by lightning The telephones
about town were many of them burned
out and 7 telegraph poles were struck
near John Fishers. The damage to the
roads cannot be estimated, but will be
very considerable amount and roaC
commissioner Ward and his men have
been very busy making repairs.
During this shower Wallace Nuttiug'.
buildings on Diamond Hill Farm were
struck by fire and totally consumed
The horses were taken out of the barr
and most of the household goods wer,
saved from the fire only to be injured b,
the extremely heavy shower then il
progress. Mr.. Nutting had $4,000 in
surance, covering the buildings, furni
ture, produce and live stock, but it will
not cover the loss. The bolt struck yer,
near to Ray Nutting, George Pickei
and Dan LaPoint, whose watches wer
stopped and it is quite remarkable tina
they were uninjured. This house wa
