Lightning in & Hop Yard.

In The village of Springfield there is farm
owned and cultivated by Martin Young, Esq,
on which he has u hop yard of3i acres of
hops, got Up on the plan. of the patent frame
or wire yards, and built as follows:
On the north and south sides of the yard is
a row Of strong posts, set firmly in the ground
"a in number, on each side, and about eight
feet apart; these posts are about 20 inches
in diameter there are extended across the
yard from post to post, wires fastened to
these posts, through an iron belt about Is feet
above the ground; those wires are supported
by ten intermediate poles, on which,
the wires are hooked; then there are
three cross wires that are sustained by sew
eral stronger poles and attached by iron Ak
ings, that'run across the yard from East to
West
1t appears from the investigation that
made and what was told me, that the follow
ing result was achieved, by one single fash
of lightning on the I'd inst : 1t fist struck
the top ofone of these strong poles containing
one the cross wires on the west side Of the
yard, and shivered it into small pieces 1t
then played on all of these wires, from post
to post, and from pole to pole, covering the
entire yard in moment and the effects
are that all of the strong poles on the north
side are more or less affected by the lightning
from the wires down, aud nearly all of the
poles on the south side Of the yard are affect
ed the same way. One of the posts on the
south side runs up through the limbs OF
butternut tree. and both the tree and post are
struck, and large share of the intermediate
poles that sustain the wires are more or less
affected. The lightning in its course over
all the wires from post to post and
from pole to pole, cut and destroyed ali the
vines that reached the wires, and in many
instances ran down the cord to the hill and
killed the vines which now hang there dead
and dried In word, it has about destroyed
the entire hop crep for this year; and in
about one hundred cases it has run down
the cord into the ground, and killed the
roots; and in some Of these cases it has torn
up the roots and thrown them several rods
from the hill Cooperstcwn Jour.
