Lightning Strikes at Night.

Between II and o'clock Tuesday
morning lightning struck the resi-
dence of Mr.. J. S. Snowden, near
South Lake, but fortunately did but
little damage beyond frightening the
inmates. Mrs. Snowden and five of
her children were sleeping in the
second story of the house when the
bolt struck and Mrs. Snowden says
it seemed to raise the south end of
the house from the ground. AS soon
as possible after recovering from the
fright the lady lit a lamp and hurried
to look after the children. Finding
them unframed she proceeded to in
vestigate the damage done and found
a hole in the roof of the south gable,
the stairs scorched, one of the stair
posts splintered, the kitchen utensils
upset and the pictures on the floor.
The only evidence of fire was ball
of cotton thread which had been
knocked from a dresser to the floor
and set on fire. The family stayed
up the rest of the night rejoicing
over their escape.
