The work of | repairing the damage done by the /etorm a few weeks ago has been |pushed with remarkable activity.

Before nineo'clock the same night thelights were on, and the damage fs now estl- mated at not more than five hundred dollars, although it cannot be exact- ly told until after the testing ofevery cross arm and wire. A saving of about six hundred dollars was effect- ed by using the old smoke stack, which has been thoroughly gone over by experts Saloons Out in Cass.
