STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Narrow Escape of the Mayor of Gaisna.

The Galena Ql.) Gazette says:-
Mayor Robert Brand was struck by lightn ing
this morning, and had very narrow escape
with his life. Waking up about o'clock, he
heard the rain falling, and determined to go out
and adjust the tin pipe which conveys water to
his cistern. While he was at work upon the
pipe, which at that time leaned against the
lightning-rod, the lightning struck the rod, and
a portion of the electricity passed from the rod
to the pipe, by which Mr.. Brand received
stunning shock. Mr.. Brand, in describing the
sensation says that in an instant his head felt as
large as bushel basket. A moment later he
was unconscious. How long he lay in this state
he does not know, as the family knew nothing
of his condition at the time When conscious
ness returned he was suffering from fearful
headache. He rallied and staggered to the
wood.house, where he fell TO the floor By this
time the family were stirring, and they picked
him up and took him into the house. He was
in his store a short time to-day, but is very
lame, the lightning having passed down one of
his legs and burned it quite seriously. His
escape was a most fortunate one, as portion of
the pipe which he held in his hand was melted,
and the cistern-box was shattered to pieces.
