too late to save any of hisieffects.
He was thus rendered wifeless,
homeless and penniless in the short
space of two dsys.-Cedartown Ad-

days that the man who is honest and
conscientious enough to abide by the
laws and do bis duty is a genius and
a hero, deserving the highest honors
Of the commonwealth. 10 other

to court themselves "unproftable
servants, because, after doing all in
their power they had but discharged
their duty" 10 other days virtue

some fool will demand it for him.

Terrible storms i'm the Northern Neck.

A CHURCH DAMAGED-NEGRO KILLED-SiNGU-
LAR ACCIDENT TO AID NARROW ESCAPE OF
A MERCHANT.
The Northern Neck Ne,cS says: On
Thursday OF last week one Of the sevcrest
thunGer-storms ever witnessed in this Sec
ton visited the lower portion OF the North
ern Neck. At Heathsvillc, Northumber-
land county, the new Episcopal church was
struck by lightning and considerably
damaged. The belfry was almost de-
stroycd, and the shingles on 4 large
part of one side Of the roof knocked
off, as well as much OF the inner
sheathing. 1t is thought that but for the
heavy fail Of rain the entire building would
have been burnt. At Woodbine, in the
county of Lancaster, the storehouse Of
Messrs. Farinbolt & Wright was struck,
and q colored man named Joe Mutt. who
was standing near q stove in the centre OF
the room, instantly killed. Mr.. Wright,
who was standing behind his counter
and waiting upon Mutt ut the time,
was knocked senselesS, and did not re-
cover consciousness for long time.
The lightning struck Mr.. Wright on
his right shoulder, and, running down
his body and right Leg, came out at
the toe of his boot, which was torn open,
leaving an ugly scar in its entire track.
There were two other men in the store, but
they were so much frightened that they
could not tell what had become OF Mr..
Wright, who, when discovered behind the
counter. was covered with tish-hoOks and
percussion-caps, which had been exploded.
A pet cat was found upon his breast, with
all of the hair singed from its tail. Mr..
Wrightjs now able 10 attend to his busi-
ness, but his escape was most miraculous.
