FEARFUL EFFECTS OF LlGHTNING.-Th Free
port CID Bulletin states that on the evening of
the Goth ult., during an awful thunder storm,
the house of Mr.. Ralph Anderson, who settled
on the Prairie six miles southeast from Freeport
last Spring, was struck by lightning, and all
the persons in the house, eleven in number, ex-
cept one little boy, were struck down and in
jured more or less, and the oldest daughter
Augusta, lovely girl in her seventeeth year,
was instantly killed. The fluid struck her
head, burned her hair, melted her hair pins,
and went round and round her down to her
feet. Several of the children and Mrs. Ander-
son are burst and blistered on various parts,
and one little girl named Louisa, about eleven
years old, is so badly burned as to render her
recovery doubtful.
Owing to the presence of mind of Mr.. Cook,
who is building for Mr.. Anderson, they were all
carried out into the rain, and water poured on
| them, which finally restored the suspended
animation of all but poor Augusta. 1t was
truly affecting and appalling to see whole
family struck down instantly, and all apparently
corpses. The lightning entered the ridge of the
house, near the gable, tore off the shingles,
| shivered several rafters, passed through chest
| of clothes which were scorched and singed, then
seemed to scatter all through the room, as its
marks are to be seen in all directions.
