DEATH BY LrsHTNING-SEvERAL PERSONS
SEVERELY observation-disclosures of fatal
stroke of lightning and the stunning of
several others, on Friday last, is rec eived
from Bedford county. The Lynchburg Re
publican says: ~. - -
"Some damage was done to the crops, but
the most serious result was the loss of life.
About five miles from Liberty resided a
family by the name of Overstreet, farmers
by occupation. Driven into the house by
the violence of the storm, the family were
gathered in pleasant social intercourse, when
suddenly thunderbolt descended the chin
ney. John Overstreet, aged thirty.tive, who
had a wife and five children, was sitting
near the chimney when the fatal bolt de-
.scended. He was struck behind the right
ear, the lightning passing down his shoulder,
across his breast to his left side, burning
into the flesh in tie course Of Its track. a
brother of the deceased, james :Oyerstreet,
who was sitting near him, was badly pa
ralyzed and rendered insensible ny the
shock. 1t is supposed, however, that ne will
recover. The father, John Il. Overstreet
was also in the room, and badly shocked
but not otherwise injured. Mrs. Overstreet,
the wife Of the man killed, was standing in
the door at the time, and was slightly In
jured, a large knot appearing on the fore
head"

A SHOWER OF Permissible steamer New
York, Captain Winchester, when, eight
miles from land, thirty three miles east OF
Portland, on her trip from Boston, last Fri
day night, between and O'Clock, was
visited by shower of pebbles that fell like
haistones. The watch on deck, who was
trimming his light at the time, supposed
that some of the crew were peltipg him.
The whole of them fell abaft the paddle
boxes. In the morning he swept them up,
and threw all but one handful overheard,
much to the regret Of all on board, as some
of them were very handsome.
In the opinion of an eminent geologist
the stones were taken up by a whirlwind
from some fresh-watcr brook. 1t will be re-
membered that the sky presented very sim
gular appearance that evening. The wind ut
the time, to use queer expression, blew
from all quarters. The stones saved were
all about one size, and present the worn ap-
pearance of pebbles on the bottom of fresh
water brook, and will, weigh about half an
ounce each.-Boston Traveller, July 10th.

Frederick Bates, the oldest man Of his
town and county, il not of his State, died at
Richmond, Me-, last week. His birthday
was March 21st, though whether 18Th or l76S
was the year of his birth was disputed; but,
at any rate, he was exempted from service
in the war of 1912 on account Of being past
the legal aye.
It very edifying to see eX-slaveholdcrs
grow pathetic over the shortcomings Of the
African. In expressing his views on negro
education TO an audience of the old f. f.

Wise.
We close in full assurance that Craig will
