Lightning struck a number of trees and also the public school buildings, anil in everv case was accompanied by tramenrious crashes of thunder. At the sehool building balls of fire rolled miiiiii nmmiscuouslv in every room, anaintr a nanic among the school v.ilnr?n. More than half a dozen children were burned, causing blisters, and the clothing on several were burned more or less, and a number had to be carried home. The physicians were busv for a while, but, strange to say, no erious consequences resulted, except in r.harlift Peterson's little girl, who is still in bed, suffering from several well-defined burns, and severe nervous prostration. The same phenomenon Kiu noticed in several dwelling houses, and several cases of electrical burnings w PAnnrted. Lightning came into the telegraph office, but did little dam age there. Nothing like it was ever seen before, so all say, and it seems the whole locality was pervaded with the rwnl!ar electrical demonstration.

A dispatch from Salem, which evidently has reference to Brown the Roseburg murder, says: It is known that a petition is be- ing circulated in behalf of a man con- demned by a court in Southern Ore gon to hang. It has been reported by those in a position to know that on the day preceding that fixed for the execution, there will be pre sented to the governor an applica tion! for commutation of the life sentenced to imprisonment for life. Those acauainted with Governor Lord's method of doing executive business, fear that the friends of the condemned man are pursuing a course calculated to defeat their DurDose.
