ing freak OF lightning: A heavy storm OF rain,
wind and lightning, prevailed Monday morn
ing, at Iron Station, on the Western Division
Of the Carolina Central Railroad. During
this storm, Mr.. Albert Dellinger was standing
under shed, about 125 yards from the rail-
road depot, holding horse. Under the shed
was COW, and between Mr.. Dellinger and
the horse which he held, and the COW, was
buggy. Presently there was loud clap Of
thunder and then vivid lightning fash, and
the horse and COW fell dead. Mr.. Dellinger
was knocked down and stunned, but soon re-
covered. The buggy, which stood between
where the horse and cow were killed, was not
touched anywhere. &C.

G. Miller. Rev. Robt. Latham, of Yorkville,
s. c., was chosen Moderator. 16 ministers
all but land IL elders were present. Mr..
W. Y. Love, from Allegheny Seminary U.
P, was licensed to preach the gospel, after
trial of both lecture and sermon. Re-
ports showed that the church was reaching
out and occupying new stations. Pastors
we're requested to write the history of their
respective churches, and all to be collected in
one book. Finances were felt to be dull, but
reports showed disposition to shoulder the
burden and do what they could. Adjourned
