power by dlsuse, and we're pouring their beav-
lest charges upon us. One or both of the rods
recently erected upon the store of D. BaiIy

electricity it has become onr lot to witness in q
time :; hut was carried off 10y the rods with

nately ere' ted, the result must have proved
fatal to many OF the inmates of the building.
who had taken refuge from the storm. But
instead of this the results proved most clearly
to the inmates and Others who witnessed the
descent OF electric current, the utility and com
piete protection afforded by the rods, which
are put mp on the scientific principles thorough
ly insulated and of the size capable of harmless
y transmitting any ordinary charge of cleo
tricty, to the moist earth, where it is immc-
diatcly ncutralized In this case the charge
must have been unusually heavy as described
by gentleman who witnessed the descent at
the distance Of a mile and almost binding
those near the spot How different the re-
suit in this case from those where buildings
have been struck in this vicinity, which were
unprotected ; proving to the moSt incyedul0us
the complete protection afforded by Lightning
Rods.
1t behoves our citizens TO avail themselves
of the rare opportunity offorded by Wm. Gre
CORY, to procure Lightning Rods which are
approved of by scientific men. and the public
generaily-thus affordng protection from
