Curious Freak OF lightning.

From the Norwich Conn., Bulletin, July 1871
The house belonging to Walter Buringame, in
Putnam on the street east OF the railroad was struck
by lightning on Friday morning. Mrs. Skinner,
daughter OF Mrs. Burlngame was somewhat in
I1re4 ~ the shock. She was closing window at
the west END Qf the house. up stairs, when, BY a
sudden shock upon the right side of her head, she
was thrown across the room, her right side being
completely parayzed for time The shaft passed
entirely through the house. ripping up the floor and
spintering the mbers striking upon the roof OF the
piazza of the L. splintering the roofing and glancng
downward. A portion Of the nuid passed down the
west pillar to nail, TO which was attached wire
clothes line. Taking the direction of the wire it ran
TO the l.. striking large and powerful post which
II tore to shreds, passed down and bored hole two
feet deep into the ground On the west end OF the
house shaft passed down from the upper to the
lower window, where 1t ripped out the curtain fix
ings, stove hole in the wall and disappeared no
one. could tell where A shaft thrown of IN the
centre OF the house played pranks with the carpet
RODS on the stairs and ended up on the bell wire.
The house looked as though 1t was well filed with
electricity and 1t is hard telling where 1t first
entered; yet we think from appearances it was upon
the piazza roof directly the pillar where the
large clothes wire was attached, the shaft dividing
here to the west and east following the composition
