The most terrific succession of electric
storms for years, if ever before, were
manifest in this locality during last week
Commencing on Thursday afternoon, and
continuing into the evening, and nearly
all of the night. And again on FRIDAY
afternoon, and Friday evening and night !;
and again on Saturday afternoon During
all of these storms, the lightning has
been the most dazzling and the thunder
the most deafehing of the season; and
1t is needless to add, the people were in
state of awe, and trepidation Upper
sleeping rooms were evacuated, and the
occupants sought the lower parts of the
house to be nearer the ground, should
anything serious occur. The rain de-
scended in force, cutting the streets and
sidewalks, in some places, so as to make
them dangerous for passers. either pedes-
trians or teams, and necessitating the at
tentiou of supervisor and a corps of
Nvorkmen, the early part of the week in
their repair. During the whole success
sion of storms we are pleased tOa say, no
damage was done in or near town by the
electric current At intervals during the
night while the storm ragged, the electric
lights would go out, and anon spring into
light again This was noticeable bv the
writer on Thursday evening About 10
O'Clock the lights suddenly went out
and in about half an hour thereafter were
burning brightly. Why this is thus we
are unable to say. Some aver the COM
pany that does this lighting has the lights
put out on purpose, to save by thus doing:
and when asked why this is thus excuse
themselves, by blaming it on the plant
getting out of order. This may be true,
but, we certainly don't believe it. How
ever, we can excuse an electric plant

getting out of order during an electric
storm we get out of order ourselves at
such times; o, no we're not frightened,
but there is a kind of palpitation around
our heart that won't go down. We feel
an awe in the presence of a something
that is greater than ourself We can't
help it If memory serves us right we
never heard but two men who said they
had no different feeling during a heavy
electric storm than at any other time /;
and we thought, and yet think these men
deficient in their upper story.
The foregoing brings us to Saturday
evening, and as there was no storm on
this evening we thought them over; and
on Sunday morning several families went
to spend the day on Broadkiln Beach.
But in the afternoon the skies again dark
ened, and pertentious clouds obscured
the suns rays, which were becoming
warm. At O'Clock sharp, another bat
tie of the elements" began, and continued
until O'Clock Again the electric dis
play was beautiful and the rain was even
more of flood than on the previous days
mentioned. 'The waters, indeed, pre-
vailed upward and the streets were COW
cred and the pavements were covered
and on Monday morning some pavements
had to be dug out of the sand or, the
sand thereon from off them so great was
the moving, and disposition of detritus.
But happily for us the washing of the
streets and sidewalks is our only damage
and can be easily repaired. The parties
