A sad case Of death by lightning occurred
near Worthington, MINI, on Saturday
last, the particulars of which are thus given
in the st. Paul Press A house on Ocheeda
lake was struck by current of the disas-
trous fluid, and both ends of the house
blown out by the explosion, causing the

The woman escaped from the ruins with
her babe, and the other child succeeded in
saving himself. The father was stunned
by the lightning, which struck him upon
tue hand, and was firmly held in the ruins
by the timbers falling upon him. The light
lumber quickly ignited, and despite the al
most superhuman exertions of the mother
and child to drag his body forth, the body
Of the unfortunate man was burned.

BISHOP LEE And THE IONA EpIsc0PATE.

70 The Editor ~ The Chicugo Tribune:
Sth: Tou1 Des 1foines correspondent in last
Monday paper, repeats an error which las ap-
peared elsewhere in lis "reminiscences Of Bishop
Lee. He states that Bishops Lee and White
house wore classmates, ,'-in college is doubt
less meant and 'about OF IN age" Bishop Leo
is credited with alludipg to this i'll his sermon !:
tue funeral OF Bishop Whitehouse. The old
adage. "You must go from home to get the
news," proves true in this case.
Bishop Lee said nothing Of the sort. He never
was a J" clRssmate" Of Bishop Whitohonse: and
never graduated at any college whatever. I say
not this to his disparagement, but as encourage
ment to otheEs who may not lavs lad the ad
vantages Of q collegiate education. Several OK
our well-known Bishops owe to no college in the
land their attainmeuts or their usefulness in the
Church. Their promotion to its highest hooors
did no: depend on the diploma Of university or
college, but On the possession OF ''souud learn
ing and special adaptation to the work sp-
pointed them. Two others maF be mentioned
iD..this connection: Bishops Wh!pple. Of Minnc-
sota. and Talbot. OF Indiana. No college has the
honor Of graduating either Of them. The same
Was true Of Biehop Lee.
