An Ohio candidate for office, who was
inexperienced in political warfare, said,
after his election to Il friend "If ! had
known what would have been said of me
by my opponents, | would have ran away
rather than to have suffered myself to be
nominated. knew that nobody could
say much good Of me, but thought also
that they could not say much harm. Yet
the newspapers opened upon me they

A THUNDER BoLT.-On Saturday night,
a little past one o'clock, the slumbering
thousands in the vicinity of Columbia Col
lege were startled by an explosion like
that of cannon beneath the window
Immediately the echoing crash came back
from the distant hills, and the pattcring
rain upon the roofs indicated that a bolt
of lightning had fallen in the neighbour
hood, In the morning, the house Of the
lion. Moses II. Grinnel, in College place,
attracted the attention of every one in the
neighborhood. The bolt had fallen upon
the roof over the front door, broken into
the attic story, burst out in front, carrying
the dormer window entirely away, and
throwing most of it with states from the
roof into the college yard. From the win
dow the lightning took a small turn until
it came in front of the iron post at the
foot OF the steps, section of which being
a cylinder as large as mans hat. it knock
ed Il hole through both sides Of it, broke
al! the glass in the front windows and door
of the basement, and rested. The hole
in the roof looks as though barrel had
fallen through The man servant Of Mr..
Grinnell was in his bed directly under,
Ohe whole room is not more than ID feet
squarc.) All the glass Of the room was
broken, and the other furniture deranged,
but the man was not hurt He says that
the whole room was full Of green blaze
Of light, and that he was not able to Jump
cut Of bed when he first attempted TO do
so. The rain poured down Immediately
upon his bed, which was straw palliasse
with hair mattress on top. The house
was filed from top TO bottom with a strong
smell of sulphur. The family were of
course instantly up, but after careful en-
animation, Mr.. Grnnell found that all his
family were safe, and they retired TO rest
again, thankful that the bolt had been
guided with such mcrciful accuracy,-.N
