storm, Mrs. Margery Prigg, while standing in
the back door of her residence, on Main street,
near the Court House, was stunned and for II
time partially palaly2ed from the effects of a

ground at her feet The yard in the rear of her
residence is intcrsccted in various directions by
wires used for supporting grape vines aud dry

about thirty feet from the back door also had a
furrow plowed down its trunk. The electricity
seems TO have followed the wires in all dircc-
tions, for in a distant corner of the yard, a
post to which wire was attached was torn Ia
pieces. From the post the charge passed
through into hutch containing several white
rabbits, one of which was found after the storm
