STRUCK BY LIGHTNING -
During the thunder storm of last
night week, the lightning struck
st. Polycarp Catholic Church Of
this town apparently at the Chin
ney, and ran down TO the addition
in the rear for sacristy and confess
sional. Here it scattered the plast-

dow and broke the glass. The
damage was not very considerable
and the church made a lucky es-
cape from what usually follows a
descending thunder bolt There
was no occasion to open the church
and the accident was not known
till two or three days after.
LOST BIRD DOG RETURNS

setter bird dog that he priced
highly, it being at the time be-

gone only one day. He went
around and greeted each member
of the family. His actions indi-
Gated in every way that he had
been off on a Rip VanWinxle sleep.

The break was distinctly heard we
are told, by those who were pres
