On Wednesday night we had a severe nod heavy thunder storm. Tho lightning struck in three places in this town; the large three story building of Mr. Bonner, n house in the suburbs, and the locust tree which stood in front of the old Vincennes Hotel. The gable end of Mr. Bonner's house was considerably shattered, and the house set on fire, it was, however, extinguished without doing material injury. The house in the suburbs was set on fire, the chimney knocked down, and other, ways injured, and the tree fronting the old Hotel, considerably shattered.

on mav suppose, to recommend Masonry
to the different classes of my hearers, but
to recommend religion to Masons by argu
mcnts drawn from a masonic source. And while in tho discharge of this duty, I shall make masonry subservient to religion, 1 shall still endeavor to do justice to this noble science. For I hold it as an axiom that all sciences, and that of masonry, are
to be valued in proportion to the aid which
they bring in support ot the interests oi reli-non, and of man's spiritual and eternal 'welfare; and therefore as a subject suited to the occasion and my purpose, I invite vour attention to the 22d verso in
