 Thunder and lighting, accompanied by rain, are wonderful aids to the speed of the ordinary run of human beings. Nothing, with the possible ex. ception of close proximity to fire and smoke, prompts people to get around with greater dispatch. The storm of this afternoon furnished abundant proof of this, when folks who before it started to thunder acted as if they couldn't run if they tried, went in all directions at a gait that carried them to places of safety in double quick time. The storm was one of the fiercest that visited Waterbury this year and while it was on there was no scarcity of water in any part of the city. The rain was accompanied by loud pea1s of thunder and sharp flashes of lightning.
