Last Saturday afternoon week, the
barn of Elias Sewers, near Mt. Pleasant,
was struck by lightning aud completely
destroyed. The novels, sheds and
barracks adjoining the barn were also
burned. A very fine colt standing in the
corner of the barn where it was struck,
persisted in the flames. So rapid was the
spread of the fire that none of the con-
tents of the barn, which consisted of a
large quantity of hay, about $50 bushels
of wheat in sheaves and rs bushels in
bags, oats, machinery, etc., were saved.
Last Tuesday morning Mr.. John Ent,
of Rosemont, with three other gentlemen,
were driving toward Frenchtown. Near
Baptisttown they came to bridge that
did not look any too safe, and they stop
ped to look it over before driving upon it.
Two of the party-a couple of ministers,
by the way-walked on across and pro-
noupced the bridge all right, and the
third one held the lines while Mr.. Ent led
his team upon the bridge. When in the
middle of it there was sudden giving
way of the rotten structure, and the
horses, wagon, bridge and the two
men tumbled into the water twelve
feet below. 1t so happened that large
number of men were along the stream at
the time viewing the ruin wrought by the
storm of the preceding day, and they
FASTENED to the rescue. Had it not been
for this circumstance Mr.. Ent and his
horses would have been drowned. The
bridge had been considered unsafe for
some time, and probably the big rain
and high wind had left it still weaker
Mr.. Ent says it was very close call for
him as part of the bridge caught him
and held him prisoner in the water
The horses were hurt some but the wagon
was not broken at ALL.
