AWFUL. VISITATION.


Several persons were labouring in field
about two miles from the village, yesterday.
They had Just finished stack of hay, as a
shower commenced. A part fed to the
house, hut four of the labOurcrs took shelter
under the stack. The men who fed to the
house had scarcely arrived, when flash OF
lightning, with simultaneous report, called
| them to the door. They looked, and the
stack OF hay was on fire. They FASTENED
with all speed to the spot, and dragged their
companions from the flames. Two were soon
| resuscitatcd; the others were fixed in death.
The four were all sitting together in a row.
with their heads leaning back, and convcrs-
ing at leisure. The two men that were Kill
led, had entered, it seems, into something of
a dispute concerning the nature of lightning.
and how its effects were produced. One Of
them expressed himself very strongly, that he
wished it would strike some object, not far
off that he might see the effects. This wish
was no sooner expressed, than they were all
cnveIoped in flames. A portion of the flued
entered the back side Of the head of the ind-
vidual who had thus expressed himself, rend-
ing his hat in pieces, and cleaving an orifice
into the brain. The deceased were found
sitting in exactly the same posture as when
COlHGrSlnS. with their arms IOiueO ielStFely
across their breasts. 1t was a shocking sight
to behold the flames lighted up with fire from
above,and these bodies lying around. These
two men were distinguished among their ac-
quantances for their profanity; and were
said to he much alike; each of them having
apparently broken over all restraint from con-
science and religion. They have each left a
wife and FIVE chidren.-Western Rec.
