Saved by Lightning.
(Fronl 50. Louis RepubIican.


Since it appears tolerably evident that
st. Louis scientist has hit the nail on
the head in his weather prognostica tions
for the summer Of 1875, and that there
will be wind-storms and rain-storms il
abundance, we may settle down to the
probable conviction that it will not be a
cho'esa season in this country. This of
course, if the sanitary condition of cities
is l.ept anything near whatit should be.
Electricity in the air appears to be
bad for the cholera germs, and, appro-
pos of this fact, may be related little
incident, true in every particular, and
never yet in print. During the great
cfo era season of 1S49 man living in
Mooretewn, Canada small place near
st. Cair, on TIE American side of the
st. C,air river-was one of the victims
of tie plague. He was taken sick with
cholera, suffered terribly, and finally, as
was supposed, died. The body was
prepared for the grave, and laid upon 9
bed awaiting the coffin and funeral GER
'emonies.

came up suddenly, the shocks were ter
rife and followed each other in rapid
succession. At length came binding
fash followed by deafening peal Of
thunder, and the house in which the
body of the victim of cholera lay was
struck by lightning, the body itself APP
parently receiving portion of the cleo
trio charge. What followed was most
astonishing. The supposed dead man
showed signs of life Every attention
was paid him, all possible medical as
sistance afforded, and the final result
was that he recovered.
He still lives in Moortown, and the
statements of this incident can be readi-
~ 81 bstantiated. The hero of this affair
is perhaps tie only man existing who
can say that he owes his being to astroke
of lightning. Electricity saved his life as
it is said to have saved the lives of drown
ed men. There may be a hint in the
affair for the physicians There is evil
IDENTIFY no sympathy between cholera
and lightning.
