It was only a miracle that none of the house hold was injured. The lightning struck the gable end of the kitchen tearing off a few shingles and a por tion of the rafters. Then the elec tricity took a peculiar course,a por tion going through to the cellar and another part passing through a hall way to the kitchen and into the pan try,leaving its mark on a shelf in front of a window,and setting (ire to some curtains in one corner of the room. The family were all in the kitchen at the time it occured, but none felt the shock. —Without doubt the handsomest hotel in the county will be that of F. W. Gallagher's, at this place, which is rapidly reaching comple tion.

The most remarkable feature in tin* construction of this well planed hotel is the rapidity of its erection. Con tractor (has.
