Death by Lightening - Thomas H. PERRY was killed in Bryan county, Georgia, on the 
19th instant, by lightening.  The fluid-forced its way through the crown of Mr. 
PERRY's hat, forming apertures like shot holes, from thence to his watch-guard, 
which it broke in various places, melting the watch-key and one side of the watch, 
lacerating his leg, and finally made its way into his shoe, tearing it in pieces.  
Previous to his interment, his face and body swelled to such a degree that they 
burst in several places.  Two young men who were in company with Mr. PERRY, were 
severely injured by the same stroke, and two horses were killed.
