DAMAGE BY LIGHTNING AND FLOOD.
Dan Howe, of the Woodstock
Bethel stage route, came in last
week Friday evening looking as
though he had just been tished out
the river, and reported a pretty
heavy shower up Mt. Hunger way
in Barnard. He had never seen
more water fall in short time
and the delugc was doubtless
something in the nature of cloud
hurst. The "crick" was above high
water mark in few minutes and
the "Sam Wood" bridge was swept
away.
Thunder and lightning accom-
panied the rain, and during the
storm the house on the George
Kelley place in Barnard Chateau
quay, where there were six or eight
children from families in the neigh
borhood was struck. All were made
UNCONSCIOUS by the bolt, and several
were more or less burned. The
chimney and rafrers were also dam
aged BY the lightning.
Other damage by the cloudburst
was the loss Of Nathan Hathorn's
hay on the hillside, which sailed
away towards the White river.
