JEWETT CITY

It has just been learned here that during the electric storm last Sunday, lightning made it's third visit within a few years to the home of Victor Camp bell, in Griswold. The fluid came in on the telephone wire at noon, and after burning out the machine, tore off a con siderable amount of wall paper. The family with the exception of the oldest son, Augustus, were at church. He was enjoying a monday snooze on the couch. The passing bolt, he being not fully grounded, just gave him the once over. He later suffered no inconvenience other than a peculiar feeling, not pain, in his left arm and leg for few days.
 One year ago lightning did the same trick at the same place. No one of the family felt it and all were able to dodge the balls of fire that flew around pretty plenty. During the storm four teen years ago when w. P. Holmes house was Burned, the same house was struck. The bolt wandered around and went town cellar looking for a ground. It met Victor Campbell, the owner of the place, coming up the cellar stairs and without doing him the slightest harm ] it took the heavy taps off both boots 1 "as clean as a whistle"
 | MT. Campbell is looking for the man who declares that lightning never strikes twice in the same place.
