TWO pigs, wlrich were in an adjoining shed, were killed.. GOOD STOCIC. —Mr. James Johnson has recently purchased a very handsome young stallion. This animal is well bred, and when properly trained, will no deubt be a very fast trotter, as he conaes from the best stock in the country. Mr. Johnson has also a very fine thorough bred Durham Bull, which he recently • purchased at a large figure from Mr. Snell, of Hullett. The efforts which Mr. Johnson is putting forth for the im- provement of stock in this section of the country are meet commendable, and will; we have no doubt, be thoroughly appre- ciated, and properly rewarded by the in- telligent and prosperous farmers of Grey and Morris. Mit °hell. THE STORM KING.—During the vio- lent storm on Tuesday evening, the elec- tricity made considerable of damage to the telegraph offices here. Violent thun- der rolled along the clouds, and the lurid chains •of lightning shot with. fearful glare through the air. One terrific ex- plosion took place immediately in front of the 'passenger depot, at the station, shattering the post where it struck, en- tering by the wire into th.e office and destroying the instruments It broke the window to atossas and tore off the window casing with several clapboarel.s from the building, and. passed apparently along the wall past the waiting room, break- ing out in the kitchen occupied by Mr. F. F. Pole, station master, it tore off a large portion of the wainscotting and a portion of the lath and plaster from the ceiling. Mrs. Pole, who siat by the stove with a child in her arrcis, was thrown from her chair by the shock, but we are glad to say, escaped uninjured. The fluid seemed to have followed the wires up through the village, as both. telegrapb offices in town suffered. to a.• certain extent. • In the. Montreal office the wires were broken and. heated to a burning pitch. Fortunately the connec- tions were broken in time to prevent greater d.amage. BARN STRUCK 33Y LIGHTNING.—Dur- ing the storm at noon on Tuesday, the barn on the faith of Mr. Andrew Ander- son, Logan, was struck by lightning and. consumed to the ground. , BURGIARY. —On the night of Tuesday, no doubt under cover of the storm, some - daring villian entered the West Monck- ton P. 0 ., connection.with E. Green- sid 's store, and, we learn, abstracted -$50 in money, $400 of which was in the desk, and. the balance in a couple of reg sterecl letters, also $15 in stamps. We have not, up to the time we write, heard of suspicion being on any one. There is, however, in the township of Logan, a newly returned. penitentiary bird. Whether he had any connection with it has not yet transpired. and bursting in the window, taking away a quantity of peas and oat. The tracks, which are of peculiar shap4, were follow- ed for some dastance, but no clue to the thieves has been discovered. --00m.
