THE LIGHTNING STRIKES. The electrical

MED by q much-needed rainfall, did not seem

was a surprise to most people to learn that
the lightning had struck on the farm of Fred
l.. Bartlett at the Head of the Tide, killed two
horses and stunned Mr.. Bartlett, SO that he
was unconscious for nearly an hour. He was
in the barn caring for his three horses when
the storm began and the first thing he knew
! he found himself on the opposite side of the
harm and two of his horses short distance
! away were dead. One horse was struck on the
head. but there was no mark on the other
one. and no damage was done to the barn. One
horse was one of a fine pair of large work
| horses, and the other family pet, once own
| ed by Mr.. Bartlett's mother, and priced for
family associations. Since the death of Mr.
| Rartletl's mother he has lived alone on the
/ farm and the first knowledge of the damage
b,s neighbors had was when he went for help
| to haul off his dead horses
