fosvn, daffl JJnne 6, 1904.
" ON Monday laf, between the hours of e.
ieven & twelve, A. Nj. we experienced frnall
mower, accompanied with comfortable thunder
and lightning. Previous to the fhower, when
the clouds had not much collected, and the thun-
der rolled only at diftance, we were alarmed
with iudden and tremendous peal, which feem-
ed to BURT upon the houfe over our heads.
Mott ofthe family were extremely agitated, and
my little daughter was faintng. After attend
ing to her few minutes, ] went ont expecting
TO diicover fome effects of the lightning. ex-
amined the houfe and out buildings, but made

OF fonie of the famiy, fent boy to make in

MIR. LEWIS JOHNSON was truck with lightning,
and fuppofed to be dead. l Immediately ran to
the place where he was, (the tliftance being be-
tween FORTY and Eft.. IN -
told, that he was dead, found that they had
actually cloied his eyes, and, as ufua, were pre-
parlng to put on bandage to fupport his Jaw,
which was fallen. They had fent for DR.. Adams,
but he had not arrived. Rccolleetng TO have
Teen an account of the efficacy of cold water,
when applied to perfons apparently killed with
lightning, cauied hmilar application to be
made which fucceeded beyond my mott fan
guine expectations. A bucket of water was
thrown upon hint was repeated--he foonexhi-
bIted fgns OF Life and began to gafp. At this mo-
ment the Doctor arrived and opened vain in his
arm. Theapplicationofc cold water was ftillconti-
nued,not lciS than fix buckets were poured upon
him. Symptomssofreturning life increafed. In a.
bout half hour he fpoke & in an hour walk
ed, with affiitance, into the houfe. Complaining
OF extreme ch1llneis, he was wrapped in flannel,
and laid on bed. From the moment ofhis re-
fuicitation he was exercifed with violent pains
in his breaft back and limbs, particularly in his
joints. Thefe pains continued, without inter
milton, during the day and following night. But
being again bled, and taking cooling phyfic, the
pans, on Iueiday morning, began to abate, and
have fnce continued gradually to decreafe. He
is now in a fate of convalefcence, though ex-
tremely feeble, and not entirely free from pain,
The hair on the back part of his head was con-
fderably hnged his ikin in feveral places burnt
the ihoe on his left foot rent in pieces but his
clothes received no injury.
From the facts above ftated it appears, that
the copious application of cold water was the
means, in the hand Of Divine Providence, of re-
icuing Mr.. johnfon from premature grave, re-
itorng to bis family their head and fupport, and
to fociety ufeful member. B9R. PAIL
