It burned one barn with several calves and pigs, and almost demolished an un- occupied old fashioned two story house with It's very heavy hard wood timbers. But the particular freak was at the residence of Mrs. Lizzie c. Carr, who, when the shower began, was sitting at a table near a window about twenty feet from which stood an elm tree, The lightning became so vivid that she went into another room, leaving a par italiy written letter on the table. She had left the table but short time when the lightning struck the elm tree and jumped from it through the window, breaking out every pane of glass in it. setting the lace curtains on fire and burning up the letter, but doing no damage to the building and furniture, not even to the table upon which the letter lay.
