dead from lightning have been recovered by re-
peatedly throwing cold water over the whole
body. Many instances are recorded. The
Rev. Mr.. Steel, vi Paris, IN the state OF New
York. has lately Ia the newspapers mentioned
a case OF this kind. A lady was with her hns.
band in the house, and the latter was
struck apparently dead by lightning. he
