We have not heard that the severe storm
of last Tuesday evening was the cause of
very much damage in this town although
it was perhaps the cause of some rather
unpleasant experiences on the part of
young couple who were out riding that
evening. While driving IN on the Hollow
road from Barton Landing their horse be-
came frightened by the lightning, and
although the young man was undoubtedly
hanging tight to the reins, the horse sue
ceeded in jumping into the brook and no
amount of urging or coaxing could get
him out and the couple therefore were
obliged to leave him there and walk to this
village in the rain. Here the gentleman
| obtained help and after some very hard
work the horse was released from his po
sition and with the carriage brought to
dry land.
