walls of sunshine have cleaned the snow
off almost as fast as it fell. 1t is now
cloudy and cold.
The postponement of the race between
Lucy and Occident caused great disap-
pointment here, as considerable money
was staked upon the result.
The family of VIM. j. Underwood, at
Kaysville, were all struck by lightning
on Saturday. The particulars are as fol-
lows: At 4:30 a. H., Mrs. Underwood
was awakened by loud noise, and was
scarcely able to draw breath, being partly
suffocated. To use her own words, the
room was full of blue fire. She struggled
with the oppression that weighed her
down, and rushed to where her eldest
daughter, fine young girl of fourteen
years, was lying, wrapped in flames.
She tore the clothing from her person;
and by great exertion the whole family,
consisting of the mother and seven chill
dren, extricated themselves from the
building, which seemed to be falling
about their heads. They took refuge IN
an adjacent shed. The Oldest boy, al
though severely hurt, started to Charles
Layton's, nearly mile distant, and OBJ
tanned team. When he returned, his
oldest sister was rolling about ON the wet
ground, perfectly crazy. The whole
family were Just put into the wagon and
removed to Mr.. Layton's, when down
came the shed with crash. Mrs. Tn
derwood was found to be burned on the
whole front of her body, and with an
awful cash on the inside of her thigh,
six inches in length and two inches deep
in the centre. The lightning, proceeding
from this cavity, which it had scooped
out of the flesh, passed down the leg to
| the heel, burning as it went. The girl
was insensible, and was terribly burned
ON the back, the skin being as hard as a
board and dreadfully discolored. The
Oldest boys arm was frizzled on the Jun
der side of the upper part The three
little boys were slightly burned in the
legs, and the two youngest, one baby
i'll arms, were merely singed in the hair,
A boy, who had fortunately staid at Mr..
Layton's, was the only one of the family
at Kaysville that entirely escaped. 1t
was fearful affair, and its parallel has
not been seen in this territory, .-,.
