A school House about mile from North
Fairfield village, Huron County, ives struck BY
lightning during q recent thunder storm, and
badly torn 70 pieces. Tho teacher, Miss Mary
Moss, and nineteen scholars were in the build
ing at the time, and the escape Of all from
death or injury seems a miracle indeed. The
School room was twenty one feet square, near
the centre ofwhioh stood a stove with long
pipe leading to the chimney which was near
the west end Of the room. The teachers desk
stood at the east end Around the stove, on
three sides, were ranged the decks for the pu-
pills, and the room was lighted by two windows
on each Of the North, West, and South sides.
The North Fairfield Gazette says
The lightning struck the too Of the chimney
ct the west end ofthe building, completely de-
molishing II, tearing down the entire west ga
BILE end Of the budding to the ceiling--siding,
studding, and all--scattering the pieces for
rods 10 the west, throwing numerous whole
bricks through the siding Of the east gable O
hundred feet into the front yard. and dividing
the rafers Of the roof It's entire length. The
electic fluid then passed down the stove pipe
into the school room--and here the scene pre-
sented is gloomy enough. The six windows are
completely shattered-the sash in two OF them
being broken and gone, and the glass in all the
rest being 81 badly broken as to need new
lights throughout; the desks ere loosened from
the floor, while the floor itself is badly damaged
The electric fluid seemed TO have followed the
stove pipe to the stove, and from thence spent
its force in the ground underneath the building
In its passage it twisted joint Of the pipe as
II it had been paper, broke the door-iastenlng ol
the stove, shivered large stone on which the
stove stood, almost pulvenzed stone on which
the sleeper rested, ripped up the floor to the

room above, and raising the entire floor 30 that
the doors could not be opened and teacher and
pupils had to make their exit through the win
dow. And yet, among all this wreck and dc
struction, no one was so much injured as moi
to make their escape out of the house. We
doubt if so singular an occurrence ever tool
place before.
We asked several Of the scholars in regard tc
the occurrence, but could gather little or moth

were deafened by the noise and were badly
frightened, know nothing about it.

made an examination, that the entire building
was raised from its foundation by the explosion
which took place as the electricity entered the
ground.

lrhe Grent HniI Storm.

The hail storm which devastated portions OF
Medina and Summit counties on the oath ult =,
was the most terrific ever witnessed in North
ern Ohio. In Medina county the effects of the
storm were most apparent two miles north of
the village of Medina The Gazette says:
The hail covered a space from half mile to
a mile in width, destroyed grain and breaking
glass in its course; the stones were of large size
and are reported to have been so abundant as
to cover the ground so that wagon might have
been loaded in some places without beingmoved
The course of the storm was a little south of
east. It divided &C some point west OF Medina,
one portion going south. There was no hail at
this point
The storm was very destructive in portions of
Richfield, and Boston, Sum NIT county. The
Beacon says:
have originated in the South part of Richfsd
and pursuing North Eeastery course, passed
through the Peninsula (thus far with little wind)
then by circuitous route near to Macedonia,
and thence Eastery beyond Hudson. lis track
was about mile wide easily traced from an
elevation by its havoc to the foliage, and the
b ds of white hail which were strewed along its
winding path in some places heGped up to the
depth of inches. The circuitous route was un-
doubtedly owing to the conflict of the two
rushing currents of air, the unequal tempera-
lures of which caused at their point of impact
OF contact the moisture TO condeuse and then
CONCEAL to fall in thickening hail
The hail at Hudson poured down with de-
structive violence. The stones were usually
about the size of hickory nuts, with occasionally
two or three combined to the size of hens eggs.
The nucleus of snow around which the rain crvs
tAzed was unusally small making them ice rocks
almost literally. The hail was very destructive
to birds, fowls were killed, and the Just sheared
sheep suffered severely, in some case being kill
ed outright by the ice balls. The centre of the
storm passed over the village of Peninsula, and
and the hail was about three inches deep on
level. There were indications that the hail, If
not the result of whirl wind, at least must have
encountered one

Senatorial Quesrion in Oregon.

The hon. Delazon Smith, known in former
years to many Reserve readers, was elected U
s. Senator for Oregon some time before that
State was admitted into the Union, and when
he came to take his seat in the Senate drew the
short term. His Senatorial career therefore
closed on the 4th of March last. 1t was briei
but brilliant in the estimation of Delazon, foI
the principal service on which he bases claim
for reelection is that he pat down John P Hale
in debate, the only man according to Smith that
ever did do it Delazon's chances of a return to
the Senate seem to be somewhat under a cloud,
as it turns out that several Democrats in Ore
gOn are quite anxious to serve the State and
themselves in the U. s. Senate. Messrs Grover,
Nesmith and Curry are in the field against
Smith, and Gen. Lane favors anybody to defeat
Delazon. At the last account the Legislature
was in session, the Senatorial canvass was ac.
tive among the Democrats, who have a majori-
ty in both branches, and Mr.. Grover was re-
garded as leading the field. 1t would be too
bad to cut off the great Smith before he has an
opportunity to demolish the balance of the New
England senators.

An interesting incident occurred here when

The municipality went out to receive them
The whole population, wild with joy, preeipi-

HoNoRIN0 THE DEAD-It is stated that when
the coffin containing the body of Gen. Espin-
asse was carried on board the steam frigats
which conveyed it to France, the deck was
crowded with Austrian prisoners. On sign
from their officers, they all fell into line, and by
their attitude, in the absence of arms, rendered
military hOnOrs to the mortal remains of their
brave adversary.
