CHssen, which by the way, is one of the best
local papers in the State, last week gives au
| account Of two threshng machines about two
miles apart being struck with lightning at tn e
same moment while at work near tn place
! 1t says
cine pnions and traverse wheels were
! knocked all to flinders; the bull-wheel, with
| the draft beams, platform and driver were all
| lifted bodily right up about four feet, and the
| eight horses ali stunned and thrown back on
| their butts in most comicgl attitude as if
! they had sat down TO mediate. The fluid then
passed along the tumbing-rod Tito the cylinder,
| making 1t look just like a furnace OF molten
! metal, aud stunning the band-curter pretty Sc.
| Vereiy. But nobody was seriously hurt. When
II the horses got the shock and came to their
I senses again, they concluded that sOnaethang
mat is1ppencd, and all made u break to run Tor
life. but were soon caught by the men, and order
restored and hearty laugh and many joke
was had over the ludicrous incidents of the
freak MIR. q. w. karr was there getting 81
| bushels of English winter wheat, for seed, ana
hao just got ms bags filled when the flash came
There were more than dozen men and nearly
az many horses on or hear the machine, and il
ia most marvellous that nos man or horse
was seriously injured,
The other case occurred in exactly the same
way, but nothing serious occurred to life or limb.
The Cstizen also givesa list of the ''h eavy''
men and women of that place In the list are
- men weighing from 200 to $50 lbs, and Il
more weighing from ls9 to 200. Il gives the
names effour ladies weighing from 2o4 to 23(
and says there are dozen others, or more o
nearly the same weight, whom we have not beer
able 10 see to learn their exact figures The
Cit1@ea thinks it can turn out 'Fmoye man-hee
ON The same number of legs" than any othel
town of the same size in the State, and we thnl
il can.
