A correspondent of the Baker City Democrat, writing from Sumpter, epeaks very highly of the grand lecturer and organizer of the A. O. U. W.,our towns man, I). C. Herrin, and concludes his letter as follows : In such a telling way does Mr. Herrin impress great truths upon the minds of his auditors. He does not descend to bickerings over the merits or demerits of rival societies, but his work is as broad as humanity; and if perchance there has been one influenced to join an insur anco order by Mr. Herrin's potent words i who in some dark hour shall be called to mourn the loss of their life companion, I confidently assume he or she will not call to mind anything Mr. Herrin said about the superlative worth of the An cient Order of United Workmen, but that the leciurer so represented the un certainty of life and its living, breathing duties toward the loved ones in their sacred charge, that he was induced to take out insurance, and having done so bless him for being the instrument to that end.

Much damage was done to gardens and property in Dayton and countrv south of the city Monday afternoon of this week, at which time an electric storm, accompanied by a very heavy rain in the city and cloudburst above town was experienced, says the Dayton Courier. The electric current was seen playing around the wires on Main street, and the residence belonging to Nightwatch Geo. Wick was Btruck. the current going down the chimney and changing the stovepipe from black to red in an in stant. A daughter of Mr. Wick's was quite badly etunned by the shock and her flesh somewhat scorched, but she was not seriously aflected. Threo other children were in the house at the time, but were not disturbed. In the upper part of Dayton much damage was done to gardens through the water from a supposed cloudburst com ing down Van Patten's gulch and carry ing everything in its course. The water was several feet deep along the gulch. On what is known as the rocky grade, about three miles above this city on tJio main Touchet, large rocks were rolled down the hillside to the road below for a distance of 300 yards or more along the grade, completely stopping traffic for a while, and much of the grade, which had just been widened, was washed away. Some grain is reported to be battered down and destroyed, but it is thought not to any great extent. Pioneers of this section say Monday's rain was by far the heaviest ever experienced in this locality. Walla Walla Statesman, Anil Tliere Are Otlieri.
