Shcnk, who lives on Mr. VI. {. Strcklers
farm on the River, rowing a boat on that
stream, was surprised beyond expression
to see a fish Of enormous size leap from
the water into the boat. Examination

& inches wide. Upon preparing his bass
ship for the table he was found to con-
tain n yellow Sucker 81 inches long as
safely stored away AS Jonah was in the
whale. Last Thursday this section was
visited by heavy thunder storm accom-
panied by torrents of rain. The house Of
Mr. Robert Young, who lives on tho
Bixlers Ferry road, near town. was struck
by lightning and considerably damaged.
An old colored woman was in the yard at
/ the time and was 80 severely shocked that
her recovery for two or three days was
very doubtful, though she has since ell
tirely rallied. mirror on bureau in
one of the rooms was smashed into atoms,
and bed, mantle-piece aud lamp were
torn 20 pieces. Though there were mem-
bcrs Of the family at the time Of the oc-
cnrrence in every room in the house. none
were injured. The belfry on the Baptist
church on Main street was also struck,
doing but little damage however The
pleasant soiourn on the Blue Ridge Of the
] party TO whom we referred last week. was
brought to an abrupt termination Mon
/ day by the sudden and serious illness Of
Mr.. Louthan Snyder, one Of the party.
He reached here Monday evening, carried
on litter part Of the way by his friends.
! His deliriOns condition with other symp-
toms, induced his physicians TO fear a
/ lingering illness from some form Of fever,
and they therefore advised his removal to
his home. At the time Of this writing we
are glad TO state that his delirium has en-
trely abated and his condition generally
il considered hopeful. He was to have
been married in September to Miss Carrie
Brumback, daughter Of DR.. d. H. l}rum-
back and the better to enable her to aid
in giving him the careful nursing and at-
tenton which his physicians foresaw his
case would require, the friends Of both
parties thought it best, and advised that
they be- married at once. Accordingly, the
Rev Mr.. Milhourur officiating, they were
Marie last Tuesday morning.
We are reliably reformed that Mr.
Snyder, the yonng man above mentioned,
deed on the sunday morning following hs
marriage. The sad TERMINATION OF what
promised TO prove very happy manicd
life has east deep gloom over large cir
Gle Of friends, aud the Young widow has
the heart felt sympathy of all.
