one is however the very serious objection that people have to drinking or using for culinary purposes water in which a lot of dirty unmannerly fellows have washed themselves water thus used may do well enough to irrigate land with but when it comes to swallowing ettlie matter assumes a different color another objection is that when parties go up the side of the stream for a pleasant walk if any

evening the sky assumed a threatening and very strange appearance away to the southward the clouds were black lowering and gloomy As the sun was setting behind the grand old mountains the western horizon was bathed in a golden glory while the northwestern north western portion was enveloped in what appeared the habiliments of fire it looked as if the red glare with which the clouds glowed proceeded from the reflection of a vast country on fire and that even tongues of flame cou could id be observed thee the effect of these appearances was intensified by flashes of sheet lightning following each other in rapid succession and illuminating not only the sky but as the darkness increased the surrounding scenery the lightning mas was not only sheet but the electric fluid assumed the most fantastic forms and danced and gleamed among the clouds now with a broad flash again seemingly concentrating to a focus in a chainlike chain like or serpentine form extending from the mountain tips high into the heavens writhing and twisting into varied shapes then tilen disappearing to be follower foll followed owea by the forked lightning darting hit hither heraud horand and thither among the clouds as if in sport after a while hea heavens artillery commenced to roll and roar and crack with peals which in some places shook the ground and made the buildings tremble there were two claps clans in particular which eitrem extremely I 1 loud and seemed to reverb reate te across the valley and through the mountains A heavy thunder shower prevailed during a portion of the time there is something sublimely grand about a thunder storm in this western region and the scene of last night could not but fill the in minds ands of those who witnessed and could appreciate it with singular solemn yet withal by ne nc means gnp unpleasant ea nt emotions the time will come however when the great jehovah will wili speak to the inhabitants of the earth by the pealing pearln 9 thunder and
