shoulders upon the ground while his feet
being entanged in the lap robe were held fast
in the vehicle. With great presence of mind
Mrs. Mellor grasped the reins, and turned

a narrow escape from sudden death, last Sun
day afternoon. They were returning home
from the Darlington NJ. E. Church. and seeing
the approaching storm Mr.. Wilson drove
rapidly. While descending hill in his lane
the top of the buggy was struck by lightning
and the horse plunged forward, falling dead.
The bolt ran down the buggy bow and from
thence to Mr.. Wilson, scorching the side OF
his face, tearing the right leg of his panta-
looms and disappearing. A splinter from the
buggy also slightly wounded Mr.. Wilson.
The falling of the horse threw them both for
ward, Mrs. Wilson being slightly bruised.
They alighted from the buggy and walked
home through drenching rain, having suf-
fered no serious bodily injury. The nervous
shock, however, was very great. Their escape
