AN UMBRELLA AS LIGHTNING ROD.-Among
the many pranks of the lightning during the
storm of yesterday afternoon it Is reported that
a citizen. whose name it is unnecessary to men,
ton, who was standing on the Allegheny rail-
road track on the Basin, with his umbrella raised
when that tremendous flash came, was suddenly
made aware of the fact that the rain was pitt
lessIy pelting him. Looking upwards he found
that the peint Of his umbrella had q blue streak
upon it, one of the steel ribs was melted and the
whole top Of his rain protector burned. Persons
at some distance who CHANGED to be looking in
that direction distinctly saw the flash, and were
sure the gentleman was killed, until they saw
him quietly lower his wreck and scoOt for the
nearest sheifer.-RichmOr State
