Suddonly there wan- a blinding flash, and It waa several minutes before any of the occupant* of the house were In a condition to ueo what injury had been done. The bolt had struck a chlnmberry tree, at the comer of the plosxo, and knocked out the top. It then passed over to the house. The celling was all torn from tha top of th*- vrrandu, all tho posts wrenched from their sockets, banisters wrecked, weutlierl>.*ardliur tom loose and the plastering knocked from the walls of th** front room. The planks of tho wall against which young Whitehead was leaning were ripped off and thrown a great distance. The overhead celling was also shattered, the shirt worn by the lad was completely torn from hia body, yet not a scratch on his arm or body can be seen, and lie whs struck by but ono of the falling plmka Portions of tho celling of tho piazza were strewn 60 yards away, while one of tho supporting pillars, a post, driven through an adjoining fence. The capers cut by the lightning bolt are tho most remarkable and mysteri ous that ever visited this section, and are the chief topic of conversation.
