As he sounded tbe first chord, a

hoary shower had just fallen, accom

with one hand and proceeded to pull
up tho burrs with tho oiLer.
While stooping to pull up tho last
one, my baud g;,-pod it close to the
root, tho horso standing with his
bead partly ovor my stooping body,
a flash of lightning struck the bone,

of the electric fluid struck mo on the

little timo. Tho following were the
sciisaliotiit and pheootuena as I ob
served end reiucraliorcd them : First,
I lolt myself enveloped iu a sheet of
perfectly whito light, accompanied by
a sceno of suffocating heat.
The light could bo seoc as well
thmugh the tack of the head as with

I experienced a sense of danger, and
tried to escape injury from ray horse.
Then followed a troubled dream, in
which I was hauling a loud ef bay, in
company with another person, and in
spito ol'all tho effort I could make to
avoid it, tho load of hay was about to
fall on me. Whon in the dream I
made the last desperate effort to
spring from under tho liny, I found
myself standing on my fest.
The first
thing that 1 observed was that the
cattle, in fright, wero runnibg from
mo, sod next, that I stood in front of
tl.efnostrtUo horse.
This was a phonotucna I never had
heard of, probably bocause a person
near enough to boo it is almost always
rtndered unconscious too long to
make tho observation. Judging from
tho distance the cattlo had run, I vns
probably unconsoious less than six
seconds,
Findiug that tbe horso did -cot
breathe, I prccecdeJ to pull off tho
saddle and bridle, and then I folt a
severe pain in my head, which contin
