I I've uWiui cAeetS Oh Ulis powerful HBtU ecclr,
ed in the adjoining county of Columbia,
short time ago. As Miss Smith was riding
on horseback, with small negro behind her
aHd 10 company with another female on /
horseback, they were oyertaken by storm
in which the lightning struck her on the fore
head, above the temple, cutting terrible cash .
completely TO the bone, passed on to her
shoulder down bor side. 10 the horse on Whes
she rode, which was killed instantaneous.
She was struck down, together with the ne.
gro who rode behind her, and the other le.
male and horse. All, excepting herself and
horse, rose perfectly recovered, very shortly.
bat she Continued in state OF lBsensibiiy
for two or three days; and when last heard
from, it was considered doubtful that she
would recover, or retain her senses II she DID.
This IS the first instance we recollect to have
heard Of, OF lightning cutting the flesh, and
ii is not a little remarkable, that she whowas
struck first, should have Survived at all, while /
tie horse TO which the tiuid afterwards passed. /
was killed instantly. Much Of her bonnet aud /
clothes 'wers torn up into tho very finest kind
of lint possible She frequently spoke in sx.
clamat.ens OF "Oh Lord" SC. whils she Law
