Four PERSONS KILLED AND ONE MAN
INJURED IN NORTH CAROLINA BY LIGHT
N1NG-A Yadkinville IN. c. special says:
A thunder-cloud passed over the farm of
Mr.. Lewis Williams, near here, Monday
morning. Three colored ploughmen who
were working on the farm with their horses
took refuge under tree. A bolt of light
ming struck the tree, setting it on fire. In
an instant cloud of smoke and a bright
flame arose. The PEG pie who rushed to the
scene found that two of the men, Elias
Douthit and Americas Martin, had been
killed, and that the other, William Yokely,
was fatally injured. The two first were
found sitting against the tree, with the
three horses, which were also dead, lying
partially on them. Yokely was thrown
some distance away. Near Newbern, two
little sons Of Mrs. Pipkin were killed by
lightning. One was swinging on the branch
of shade-tree in the yard Of his home, and
the other stood near by, when the bolt
struck them, The deaths of both were in
Simultaneous. The one swinging on the
limb was horribly mangled.

A German woman immigrant is teaching
the farmers in the neighborhood of Norfolk
something about sheep-shearing The
Norfolk Virgi1aiaas says: The modns opero'l-
d was simple, but very effective, and a
great Improvement on the cid Virginia
method, which requires two negroes to
catch the sheep, two to hold it, and one to
shear. After catching the sheep and tying
its hind feet together, the woman sat down
IN the ground with her legs stretched out
in front and bound the animals hind feet
to her right foot, then taking the sleeps
head under her left arm she rapidly and
skilfuly piled the shears with her right
hand. The work was beautifully done,
the fleece being removed very evenly and
the skin free from all cuts. When neces-
sary, the sheep was shifted from side to
side.
