Photographed by Lightning.

A religious paper published at Wa terloo, la, publishes this story with the statement that it comes from reliable source: A strange freak of electricity occurred in Thayer county, Nebraska, during recent storm. Miss Annie Holsinger had gone to the well for wa ter, and upon returning to the house saw, as she sopposed, her mother look ing at her through window. She thought nothing of this; but when later she went to the we'll and saw her mo- ther again watching her, she was much perplexed, especially as she found her mother sitting just as she had been when the daughter left the room. Upon investigation it was found that Mrs. Holsinger had not left her chair, and that which the daughter had seen was a life size picture on the window pane. Ii had been photographed there by the lightning. The portrait re- mained for few days on the glass and then faded away.-Electriclty.
 Pittsburg, July 30.-A curiuos phe- homer in connection with the deaths of the negroes, William Cassell and Sol omon Richardson, in Highland Park yesterday from bolt of lightning, was that the foliage Of the trees under which they sought shelter was photo graphed on the breast of one of the vic- tins.
 When the clothing was removed from Cassell's body an astounding sight met the eyes of the undertakers. Across Cassell's broad breast was picture true to nature. The Drowned oak tree of autumn was there. Twining among foliage were number of ferns. These too, with the exception that they were brown, were as natural as their model. So plain were the leaves and ferns that even the minutest vein was discern able.
 It was 4:20 o'clock when the men were killed. At o'clock in the even- ing the impressions began to fade. Slowly the dark brown gave way to a purple color. After the fading process had been working half hour many of the leaves became indistinct. An hour later the photograph had entirely faded and only the purple coloring remained.
 There was another curious thing about Cassell. When his trousers were removed his lower limbs were found to have turned to an ashen white. They kept this color. This is a greater mys- tery than the photographic freak

we'll informed upon the history of
the State generally and particu-
larly it's military history. He was
an ardent North Carolinian from
boyhood, and did much for the
State in peace and war.
We do not intend to give a full
account of his character or career
in this brief notice; that will be
done elsewhere and by competent
hands. But we should fall far
short of justice, and deny ourselves
satisfaction if we failed to say a
special word as to DR.. Woods
Christian life and work in this
community. He was one of the
most devout and humble Christians
that ever lived in Wilmington, and
he showed his faith by his works,
which were abundant and fruitful.
His piety was an unostentatious
but active and earnest force, which
was felt and cordially recognized
by all with whom he came in con-
tact. He was a member of St..
James Church, and entered into
rest with as calm and confident
trust in Gods promised to those
who believe in His Blessed Son.
