Struck by Lightning.

While the heavy electric storm was in
progress about dark last Tuesday evening
the front of the brick building occupied
by Mr. j. Fl. McNeely as store was
struck by lightning. At the time Mr.. J..
H. McNeely and Mr.. j. NJ. Rhorer, Jr,
were in the store, while Messrs. w. j.
Duffy, John L. Hawkins, L. McNeely and
DR.. p. Goode were on the front gallery.
All of the parties were considerably
shocked, Messrs. Duffy and L. McNeely
being knocked senseless and supposed to
be dead for several minutes, not reviving
until after they were carried into the
room at the side OF the building. Mr..
Duly was the most severely hurt, not
yet having recovered the use of himself
entirely, his right side, hip, leg and foot
being considerably bruised and partially
paralyzed. The whole front of the shoe
on his right foot, which was nearly new
brogan, was burst into strips, and the
sole was ripped off half way back to the
heel The great wonder Is that any of
the parties escaped with their lives, and
in Mr.. Duffy's case it eeerns almost a
miracle that he was not killed.
The lightning appears to have struck
an iron rod on top of the brick wall,
which forms the front of the building,
and part of the current seems to have
gone down the front of the wall, shock
ing those on the gallery, while the other
part went on the inside of the store and
spread itself around promiscuously over
eight or ten shelves of canned goods, ETC.,
and portion of the floor. Several of the
upright pieces between the shelves were
splintered, two or three boxes of cigars
were broken open and the cigars riddled,
the labels on two or three dozen cans of
oysters and Holsters were torn into rib
bons, the tops Of all the cans having the
appearance of having been powder burnt,
several bottles of pickles were broken,
and couple of dozen sacks of Durham
tobacco were peculiarly riddled and puff
ed out, as though load of bird shot had
been fired through them. A can of powder
sitting between box of soap and starch
was not injured, while the two boxes
were burst into flinders.
Mr.. j. II. McNeely, who was close to
the counter on the side where all this
damage was done, says he was only
slightly shocked, while Mr.. Rhorer seems
to have been more affected by the light
ming, which made him quite sick and
caused him to vomit two or three times
during the night and the next day. 1t is
a little curious that those inside of the
store should have been injured SO little.
Mr.. McNeely says the noise in the room
was terrific, and an odor resembling
powder and birthstone pervaded the room
for half an hour after the occurrence.

The exparte action Of Postoffioe In.

The exparte action of Postoffice In
spsctor Hancock, two weeks since, in
forcing Mrs. Grow, postmistress at this
place, to pay 500 in return for money
lost from registered letter, appears to
us to have been rather high handed and
unwarranted, unless further investigation
and proof had been made by him. We
don't believe there is any law authorizing
u postoifice inspector or any other official
in this country to exercise his own sweet
will in fastening responsibility and blame,
AMI we hope to see this matter given a
more thorough investigation. While the
Inspector may have satisfied himself,
there are very few persons in this COM
m unity who believe he had authority or
wsrrant for his harsh action.

from being president aa he was
when he first made the campaign in
1876. The following from a corre-
spondent, exemplifys the uncertain
ty of American politics:
Il used to know a man in George
town who had shaken hands with
every president since, I believe, the
second Adams. As he grew very old
he became frightened at the pros
pect that there was long line OF
coming presidents that he would not
live to shake hands with. He wanted
to hand down to his children death
less record as hand~shaker. So, to
hoodwink time, he used to prowl
around the Capitol shaking the
hands OF eminent statesmen and al
legged statesmen, in the hope Of
| grasping the hands of two or three
coming presidents. He kept an al.
lphabetical roster of the names, bu
his judgment was bad. He hac
touched Blaine a dozen times anG
made assurance doubly sure will
Bayard. But after the Chicago con,
vention he discovered that he hat
never met Harrison. He never re,
lowered from the blow. He was to-
feeble to go to Indianapolis, ant
while "waiting patiently about fo
Benny to appear" he died last De
Icember,"
