On recent morning, at Cleveland
Ohio, attracted by its screams, a young
man going to his work found a six-monthS

in some bushes, near the canal, at Seneca
street. The husks and the child's cloth

one had tried to burn the infant. It's

beside a mother would have thought to
leave nursing bottle to keep the babe

Of Vine street, and, a moment later, to
plunge into the muddy water. The
alarm was given by some boys, and a
gentleman near by soon after jumped
into the water and succeeded in bringing
her safely to the shore, though in an I'M

the house of Mrs. STANCE, in the vicinity,
and soon restored, after which the lady
gave her dry clothing, She said her
name was Nellie Smith, that she was
seven years of age, and lived at the corner
Of George and John streets. She gave
as reason for her rash attempts that she
could not live happily at home. She said
she had prayed to God before making the
attempt on her life She was taken to
her home, and received by her mother,
who said she had punished Nellie in the
morning, and supposed this was the cause
for her very singular conduct

Struck by Lightning.

A dispatch from Scranton, Pa, gives
the following account of the recent disas-
ter near that city:
A large number Of women and girls
from Scranton were on the hills gathering
berries, when a storm came up from the
south and they rushed to an untenanted
building to take shelter from the down
pouring rain.
About fOrty-One women and children
! found room in the old house, while seven
! were obliged to stand outside under the
storm. With the increasing storm the
sheets of fire began to descend, the light
| ming becoming more vivid and the pealS
Of thunder seeming to advance from dis
tant caverns until the old building began
| to tremble. At length lightning shaft,
more vivid than any that had preceded it,
descended among the unhappy group Of
women and girls, killing two Of them and
scorching IN a frightful manner four 9th
! ers, tearing the flesh off their limbs and
producing a notwithstanding scene among
the panic-stricken women. For some
time even those who had not been touched
by the electric fire were paralyzed by the
| appalling sight they had seen, and were
unable to render any assistance.
The groans of those fatally injured and
inc SIA OlutI suffering NlCtlluS we're utdIl-
rending and the utter helplessness of the
poor women and girls was pitiable. Word
was sent eventually to Scranton, and with
the utmost dispatch messengers were sent
over the hill to the scene of the disaster
with wagons, medical attendance and bed
ding on which to convey the dead and
wounded to the city.
One of the women standing on the out
side at the time the fiery dart entered the
Inflated place, states that the rain and hail
were falling in torrents and all crowded
to the door. When the lightning struck,
preceded an instant before by a terrifying
peal Of thunder, one dreadful chorus Of
screams rent the air, and at the sight of
the dead and those whose flesh had been
stripped from their bodies in many parts,
several members of the party tainted,
while the remainder, though unhurt, were
perfectly paralyzed with fear. 1t was
some twenty minutes before anyone could
be induced to move toward the city for
assistance, so great was the dread that had
fallen on them by this frightful visitation.
