We regret very much that such a re- port was sent us, and hope onr corres- pondent will exercise the greatest care m future as such reports are sure to damage the bosiness of those mter- ested.

The lightning entered the roof and ran down one of the rafters, shattering it to pieces. It then ran down an iron bar, through the floor, and into the grouug, which evidently saved the building from being burned. One of the freaks of lightning was to weld two bars of iron together efi'ectually as if it had been done Mr. Little himself. â€" Kdcance. NOT[CE.
