Deacon Ezra Sweet departed this life on the
morning of the 18th inst, at Benton, Eaton
county. He appeared to be conscious TIL the
last, and peaceful and happy.
The deceased was born in Rutland county,
Vermont, in 1902. He removed to Tiogs county,
n. Y, and remained few years and then re-
turned to Vermont In 1912 he removed to
Michigan as one OF the pioneers. With 3
warm heart and energy of purpose he met the
tolls and conflicts Of frontier life with manly
and christian fortitude. Ia 1853 he removed to
Paw Paw, and for some nineteen years took an
active part in the lsbors and efforts OF the place
for the promotion OF morality and religion
Since 1872 his home has been In Eaton county
and near Bangor, Van Buren, county. He ex-
perienced religion in early life and united with
the Baptist church and during nearly all his
christian life he has been deacon and al act
i've laborer In the cause OF Christ. He was one
Of the first members OF the Baptist church in
Paw Paw. His father was Baptist minister
whose voice was heard as a healer OF mercy till
he had reached the age OF 90 years.
The deceased was nearly "A years old, aud
had been blest with an unusually vigorous and
hearty constitution. For more than three
months before his death his physical energies
began to fail but he retained his energy Of
purpose remarkably and some little time before
his departure be was seriously affected with a
slight shock OF paralysis. He had his arrange
ments nearly contaminated to make Lawton
his future home; but Jesus had ordered il
otherwise. Some ten days before his departure
he went to Eaton county to visit an only daugh-
ter and to arrange some business matters, and
was taken with severe chills aud fever from
which he never rallied.
Ills done, he's gone, his work Is done,
His blissful state is just begun
He's gone we trust, where all is love,
To dwell with Christ in worlds above.
To mourn his loss, he leaves wife, by his
third marriage; five brothers, all supposed to
be living but widely separated from each other
three sons and one daughter; with q large
circle OF relatives and friends. His remains
were taken to Paw raw for interment His
funeral services were attended by Rev. Fl
West in the Baptist church, the 18th. aftei
which he was taken to the cemetery and laid by
the side OF those who had gone before.

Just az we we're about writing notice Of the
thunder storm on Thursday evening of last
week, we fell upon the following account by
correspondent Of the Detroit Tribune which
we adopt
This village was visited on May 18th by the
most fearful thunder storm We have seen for
many years. Vivid lightning flashed athwart
the sky, followed by peal upon peal OF the loud
est thunder, 80 quickly that the flash aud the
report seemed almost simultaneous. In the
midst OF this war OF the elements a large bali
OF electricity descended on Nam street, enter
ing the front OF the drug store OF q. w. Long
well q Co., situated IN the center of one OF our
finest business blocks. The bolt put IN an ap-
pesrance Just over one of their front show win
dows, and then leaped on to the corner Of their
soda fountain ano passing thence along the
shelves, which were filled with Jars of LIQUID
incidence, 1t shattered them and melted the
metallic labels OF the jars, set the shelves on
fire, and crossing the store made its exit through
the brick wall or the building. Here 1t dlsap-
peared and left no trace until it reached the
second store west occupied by Free d Martin,
hardware Dealers where it ran along the wall
Of the cellarway, tearing off the plastering,
but doing little damage. 1t appeared again two
doors further west. IN the grocery store OF
Matthews " Hutchins, and threw down clock
in one corner Of the room, scattering things
generally. At this point II came in contact
with the Peninsular telegraph line, village
line some two miles in length, and portion OF
the fluid was left on the wire aud another part
disappeared through hole which it made in the
wall. That part which took passage by tele-
graph made It's bow in all the offices on the line,
some thirty in number, mostly IN private dwell
lings, causing report in each office like the
crack OF q rifle. The copper wire OF ten tele-
graphic instruments was burned Off and one
dwelling occupied by VIM. Snow. set on fire.
Mr.. Shows people we're none OF them at home,
but fortunately the fire, after consuming q
window shade and burning around the window
somewhat, went out OF its own accord. The
fire In Longwells store was extnguished be-
fore much damage was done. MANY persons
we're severely shocked and badly scared, but no
one was seriously hurt. II seems very fortu-
nate that disastrous confagration was avoided.
