MELANCHOLY EFFECT OF LIGiITMNo. Sci.
dom have we been called upon to perform n
more melancholy duty than that of recording
the death ofa young lady of our city, Miss
Caroline Goodman, aged about sixteen, who
was yesterday morning instantaneously kill
ed, while lying in bed, by lightning. 1t seems
that about six o'clock in the morning, the res
idence ofDuke w. Goodman, Esq, situated
on the corner of Joachim and State streets,
was struck by lightning and much shattered
Striking the chimney il entered the room in
which was the deceased, in company with
Mrs. Sampson and her child, sleeping in one
bed. Miss G. was lying on the further side,
but the subtle fluid, running along the ceiling
until Immediately over her, met with an OBJ
struction in a small hole in the plastering,
from which it glanced directly into the face
ofthe deceased, burning her face, breast and
arms into complete cinder. Mrs. Sampson
and her child were both stunned and some
what injured. The bedding caught fire, and
but for the timely assistance of a gentleman
sleeping in an adjoining apartment, and who,
smelling fire, burst into the room and saved
the unconscious beings, we doubtless should
have more to add to our tale of sorrow. As
il is. bright and fair ornament TO society,
and TO the methodist Church of which she
was a worthy memcer, has been transplanted
from this to n far better ard mere peaceful
home.-.Hobiie Tribune. Feb ii.
