Severe Storms Visit New York, New England and Pennsylvania.
New York, July 22.—Severe thunder storms, with wind and rain, visited this state and portions of New England and Pennsylvania this evening. So continuous were the flashes of lightning, that the heavens were illuminated almost to the brightness of day.
An almost total prostration of telegraphic communication followed in the wake of the furious elements, and at midnight the wires are but slowly regaining their normal condition.
No casualties are yet reported.
