field, sent them thither; and scarcely had
they left the tree, when il was shivered by a
bolt of lightning, and Mr.. w. was thrown
from his mower. Not the least singular
feature of the case that near by were other
much larger trees.
very severe electric storm passed over
this place last Sunday afternoon, during
which the lightning struck rather promis-
cuously in and around our village, fortunate
ly however, doing but little injury. One
bolt struck tree in front of Il. II. Harri-
sons and another near the residence of Jas.
Bennett, while third so severely shocked
Mrs. David Chapman, that it became neces-
sary to summon physician Between this
