Tho Middletown New Era says: During
the heavy storm on Tuesday night about
10 o'clock, the lightning played some queer
pranks about the large new barn on the
farm of S. q. Biggs, near Summit Bridge,
tenanIod by George Sartain. Tho bolt
struck tho railway OF the bay fork at tho
end Of tho building and ran its entire
longth, going out the other end, and,
strange to say, although some Is or IS tons
of hay wa, in the building, did but little
damage beyond knocking off and splinter.
ing some Of the boards and frame work OF
the building.
The wonder Is that tho hay was not set
on fire, as the path pursued by the bolt
was in close proximity and among n bunch
Of hay when it left the building, The
damage done amounted to about :l5 or so,
and was covered by insurance in tho
Chester County Mutual, Of which Edward
Reynolds is agent in this State. This Is

been struck by lightning, each time doing

could be done without incurring any duty.
Now, however, just rs the work Is starting
the collector at Buffalo has notified the
War Department that he must assess duty
on stone and refuse 10 ndniit 1t until the
duty is paid. Nj
The difficulty is that tho engineers have
no money to pay this duty and so tho
work must stop unless tho treasury offi-
eials rclent. The stoppage would Involve
serious loss to tho government, for the
contractors who have their ,aborers and

General Wilson, chief of engineers, has

amount to between S25O,000, and $780, 700,
according to tho construction given to the
tariff act by the Treasury Department.

TREE IN A TOMB.
(This Chestnut Thrives in Queer Place.

(This Chestnut Thrives in Queer Place.
supported by two small fluted pillars.
His hands are folded on his breast,
with his sword between them, and his
helmet is by his side. The inscription
above him tells that she was solemnly
here inferred with great lamentation,"
also that he was thought worthy the
honor to be high sheriff Of this county"
Many years ago the village school
children used to sit on benches in the
chancel and play with horse chestnuts.
One day a nut fell in a crevice behind
the tomb and CHANGED to strike soil
fertile enough to cause it to sprout.
Year by year it has grown, until now
it is full-grown tree, casting its shade
over the form of the stone knight.
The mystery of it's living and thriv-
ing have never been solved, but in all
the darkness and mustiness of the an
cient church the tree grows, and yearly
buds, leaves and blossoms with the I'M
failing instinct which abundant soil,
frequent rains and generous sunshine
are alone supposed TO foster.
The inhabitants of Kempsey proudly
cherish their historic tree, and at the
time of the church's restoration the
little chestnut tree was carefully board
ed up to prevent it from injury. The
illustration is taken from a painting
by Col. j. a. Temple, Bengal staff corps.
