CONGREGATION SHOCKED BY
LIGHTNING.

The Tappahsnnock correspondent
of the Richmond Dispatch, under date
of Thursday, says
"Mr. J. Il. Matthews, of Oxford,
Eng., was preaching to large congre-
CATION in St. Johns Episcopal Church
here last night when q severe storm
broke over The town and vicinity. The
lightning was vivid and incessant for q
few minutes, when there came lull, and
Mr.. Matthews had warmed up to bis
discourse and held the undivided at
tention of his audience. Suddenly there
came flash, accompanied by deafen:
ING report, drowning the voice and
stopping the utterance OF the preacher.
Every one sat mute, while glass
tinkled down the windows in various
parts of the house, and the building
shook throughout. The rector arose
and announced prayer, after which
hymn was sung, aud the preaching was
resumed. Several persons were slight
ly shocked, feeling the tingling sensa
lion of an electric shock in various
parts of their bodies, but no harm
was done, and very few left
the building until the services
were over. After the service examina-
ton d closed the fact that large syC-
amore tree in the yard, forty feet llom
the church. had been struck by a
heavy bolt, which shattered limbs,
skinned the trunk aud tore up the
ground in several places about the
roots. The broken glass resulted part.
lv from the shock of the conclusion
and partly from fragments OF bark and
limbs hurled against the windows by
the force of the lightning. 1t is re-
markable fact, vouched for by resi-
dents, that lightning has struck some
where within radius of half a mile Of
this church every summer for ten
wears. 1t is remarkable, and must be
viewed as merciful dispensation OF
Providence, that the bolt Thursday
night struck the tree and not the stee-
pie of the church, as.had the building
been struck it is practically certain
that death would have resulted, ana
owing to the crowded condition OF the
edifice the casualties would no DOUBT
have been numerous.

A GIRLS BATTLE WITH A SNAKE

you did your lord. Rise, Sir Sholto.'
But for all that he rose not, for the
head of the young man whirled, and
little drumming pulses beat in his tenn
pies His heart within him beat like
the overword of song. Does she
hear? Will she care2 Will this bring
me nearer to her?" So that, in spite of
his lords command, he continued to
kneel till lusty James of Avondale came
and caught him by the elbow. up, Sir
knight, and give grace and good thanks
to your lord. Not your head, but mine,

And practical William of Avondale
whispered in his cousins ear: And the
lands for the youth that we spoke of7''
Moreover" said the earl, that you
may suitably support the knighthood
which your sword has won, freely be-
stow on you the 40-shilling lands OF
Airelands and Lincolns with Screel and
Ben Gairn, on condition that you and
yours shall keep the watchfires LAID

you rear sturdy yeomen to bear in the
Douglas train the banneret of Machlm
of Aireland''
Sholto stood before his generous lord
trembling and speechless, while James
Douglas shook him by the elbow and
encouraged him roughly: ''Say thy say,
mani Hast lost thy tongue?'
But William Douglas nodded approval
of the youth.
Nay" he said, 'let alone. James! I
like the lad the better that he hath no
ready tongue. IT'S not the praters that
fight as this youth hath fought this
day."
So all that Sholto found himself able
to do was no more than to kneel on one
knee and kiss his masters hand.
