During the storm last Saturday evening the barn of William Cad man in Greenwood township, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Mr. Cndmau was at work in the field. The sky was overcast with clouds more or less portentous, but a shower such as might do damage, did not seem imminent. There was a flash of lightning accompanied simultaneously with thunder, but Mr. Cadman d:d not attach much importance to it until some time later, when, looking up, he dis covered that the barn was on fire. He hastened to the burning build ing, where he succeeded in rescuing his three horses, although they had actually been in the fire and had been badly scorched. The farming implements were burned along with the barn. It was rather l ite when several neighbors arrived, but a bucket brigade was funned and by dint of persevering labor the dwelling and wagon shed wers saved, but not until both of the buildings had been on fire. The loss sustained is $3000, par tially covered by insurance. CREVELING REUNION. The fourth annual reunion of the Creveling family was held at Still water last Thursday, and was large ly atteuded.
