A flock OF sheep grazing in the pasture
of Henry Smysor, near Loveland, last
week, took shelter under a tree, which
the lightning desired to enter at the
same time. Thirteen killed out of so.
The wool on the victims was badly
singed, and not enough OF it left to make
pair OF socks for Cal. Brice.
The lightning, as if in endorsement of
Cal. Brice's position on the wool ques.
ton, appears to have had an especial
spite at our sheep, and in addition to
the flock butchered for Henry Smysor,
descended on few head owned by Ira
Belt in Wayne township, and converted
them into mutton.
The Hillsboro Band was to have played
for the Batavia Knights at the decora,
ton ceremonies last Sunday evening,
but failed to put in an appearance as an
organization, though several of the boys
came down to have look at Batavia
and get acquainted. Our people feel
somewhat disappointed at the failure Of
the Hillsborians to attend, which it is
understood they were unable to do by
reason OF the fatigue OF the day, and the
excessive heat.
