A curious coincidence occurred at Ash
land during one of the late thunder
storms. Mrs. Axtell, the wife of we'll
to-do citizen, was seated at the window
during the storm, and a particularly
vivid flash of lightning was observed to
start visibly. as if badly frightened. AS
she did not speak afterwards, and made
no attempt to move, persons in the apart
ment with her approached and found
her to be perfectly paralyzed andspeech-
less. Medical assistance was at once
called, it being supposed that she had
been struck by lightning. An exami-
nation disclosed the fact that she was
suffering from the effects of paralysis
alone which had attacked h"r simulta.
neously with the charge Of electricity.
An instance of somewhat similar char
acter occurred in an adjoining township
a few weeks since, when well-known
farmer was stricken with paralysis while
engaged in leading prayer at revival
meeting. After lingering until Thursday
he died.

FANNY'S MUD-PIES.

Under the apple tree, spreading and thick.
Happy with only a pan and stick,
On the soft grass in the shadow that lies,
Our little Fanny is making mud pies"
On her brown apron and bright dropping head
Showers of pink and white blossoms are shed
Tied to branch that seems made just for that,
Dances and autlers her little straw hat.
Gravely she strs with a serious look,
Making believe" she's true pastry cook;
Sundry brown splasheS on forehead and eyes,
Show that our Fanny is making "mud.pies."
But all the soil of her innocent play
Clean soap and water will soon wash away
Many pleasure in daintier guise
Leaves darker traces than Fanny's "mud-pies."
