Freaks Of Lightning.-A correspondent of the Hart
ford Courier, writing from Merden, CT, says.-
81 notice by the newspapers that the thunder show
crs in the New England States have been than
ordinarily frequent the present season, and sin
guar stories told of the queer freaks of the light
ming. notice that the stroke which killed a
young Frenchman Saturday at Springfield, knock
ed down another, and tore the shoes off from young
woman in another room. In Waterbury, the same day,
Il stroke killed horse, and the boots off from a
young named Seymour. There appears to be
something attractive to the fluid in boots and shoes.
During the exceedingly severe shower that occurred
here several weeks since, the lightning struck in
eral places. Among others, the house of Mr.. Atkins
struck. His daughter, young lady about 10
years of age, in the front parlor at the
ment of the shower AS the flashes very fast
lion of going into back As she passing
bands, the thought struck her-'here will be a good
place and she Immediately sat down, resting of
her feet upon the trunk In the instant she was
struck down helpless, but not senseless The electric
shaft had entered the building, leaving its marks in the
cellar and came up PARTITION entering the room
where Miss A. sat- by large nail in the mop board.
1t turned the color of bunch of keys lying upon the
trunk and ripped in pieces the shoe of Miss A. that
upon the foot which rested upon the trunk Isn't the
lightning distinguishing itself this year, Mr. Editor, in
tearing off shoes?
1t is reported that when there is great deal of light
ming there is cholera. There has been cholera
in New England this year, but have noticed that when
the dreadful disease has shown itself in this region,
there has been very little lightning during the same
season"
