as boy. While here he purchased a val
liable pair of Morgan horses from Mr.. E.
c. Wells of Cambridge, through Mr.. Geo.
T. Howard yof Craftsbury, and shipped
them to Georgia. These horses were
awarded blue ribbons at three of the fairs
| held this fall.
| Among the places struck by lightning
| the night of Oct. 18th was the home of Mrs.
Jennie l.. Bill. While the damage was
small the shock to the family was severe
and it was very remarkable that loss of life
and property did not result. The track of
the lightning was easily traced by the
holes in the walls and the scorched lines
on the paper on walls and ceilings. The
| bolt seemed to enter the house by the
chimney, running through four rooms and
the halls on the first and second floors,
leaving the house by the telephone wires.
