Lightning Strikes Barn.

Last Thursday morning about 4
O'Clock, while a rain storm was rag
ing, the large stock barn of Mr.. Sam
Bnrdetts, on Gfeenburg street, was
struck by lightning, tearing a con.
siderable hole in the roof, setting the
building on fire. The people of town
were generally asleep, but Mr. J. F

three hundred yards from the barn,
observed light, and discovered that
the building was on fire. BE gave the
alarm and in short time the fire bell
rang, which awakened the town and
very quickly many were at the scene.
The fire was soon extinguished, and
but little damage done. There was
no stock in the barn.
