RELIEF AFFORDED TO uasotis INJURED BY
LIATN.INGy. BY COLD WATER.
HAVING heard by common report that the house
of Mr, .is/extrtr, of Augusta, was struck Will
lightning on the night of the 25th of June last ; a: d
that he 'and' were 'Much injure?. by the
shock; and that by some means or other they were
relieved, but could riot learn-flow, I sent to them,
requesting them to - write to., me a statement of the
facts whets attended that eatcot, with as much prey
oision :as . In due time I received a letter
frtnn Mr; Go num, who is,father.in.law to Mr.
MARTIN, in. whieh he wrote as follows :
11 0.:1 the night of the 25th of June, the heitse of
Mr. W,M. MARIA N was struck 'with lightniog, at
the North' Ridge: It shieerM the stud which stood'
direaly under' the -RidgeHrent the boars it tale
gable:end.l—entered the room where Mr. M. and
his wife Were asleep, and -dashed -a,lorking.glrss in
*pieees, which-hang ti:e foot of the -bed. The
lightning pa4sed irons where the looking_giass hang
in a ditetttion to the axis; •Mrs..M. was affeeled
acietsl and paroieulerly-lter right arm
the Other,itrowever, was affeaed,- but in a'less de=
gree.. 'Me...M. was ref e& in his head and should: -
er,s : ;they, bOth,wete asleep. A.ciuld which Jay on
the back side of the bed, it supposed, was awaken=
ed by the thuntler„
...a being greatly, frightened,
cried out.- 'fisiS'awakened Mrs. INi'andshe founu
herself a situation in which she was unable to
Move her limbs ; but after :tWo or tliree exertions;
she rolled herself off the bed, and then discovered
the curtain over 'her head to be on fire. "Before
she got Off the bed, she discoVered that her husband
was speechless and senseless. When'she had got off
the bed to the stout, and the child also, she craWled
to the foreside of the bed. Here, on the floor, the
Water sto(*\l a small depth, being driven in at the
door upon putting hei right hand, 'which 'w'as
most aff---ied, into the water, she felt' immediate
relief. Her arm and hand remained weak; hut
the
.insei,eoity and nurnhneSs was itnniediately
taken away. By some extraordinary effort she now
d'rahed her husband off the bed to the floor ; 'but
how she did thiS,. she cannot relate--anti wonder:.
ful indeed it is, for she hid not strength to stand
upon
.her feet. She had called her two-little sons
Who slept in the chamber, and putting her handiatC!
water, as-mentioned above, ordered the oldest to
fetch a bucket of water, which she ordered him to
-pour on his father, which he did ; this he repeateuntil d
Mr. M. began to move, and raised himself on
his hands and knees. The little 'boy then came it,
-with the --fifth .bucket .of water, -which his mother
ordered him to pour on his father,'s head. This-he•
did, and then Mr. M. gotH up, and stood uptin his
feet, and, with wildness. •his countenance,
out, " What are you doing Mrs. M. informed
him they were struck with lightoing, and showed
how the bed7clorhes •weie
,burnt ; he then because
composed. He remained, however, in great pain
in his head,. neck, and shoulders, which continued
-for-several days, but by degrees went off.
" It-appears that the lightning,-after going in-_the
dire6tiOn mentioned above, took a contrary course ;
-being attracted, ..as it is suevosed, by .a carpenter's
iron square, which being over a chest with drawers,.
standing no the sidee.or the. room opposite to,the
bed, 4.14 from the --,sgu,tre an, the chest, split the
end boardof,thS chest,:,apd,gouged our a pieee-neat_

.pewter spooilsron each of which a drop. was melte.d;
as ii touched with a hot io;so. In. the same manner
were marked -two or- three plates/which stood on a
shelf by the chest. • .
