No good image during the measures. There was a storm of rain, thunder, and lightning over the city from 3 to 4 p. M , which has left a raw and 

 moist atmosphere. The lightning struck within half a mile of the observatory ; the only instance remembered when a house within the city experienced 

 injury from such cause.
