KILLED BY LIGHTNING-
During the severe storm of last Friday afternoon, a son of Mr. David Chandler 
of this city, while tending some cattle belonging to Ira Carter, in Sharon 
Township, Clinton County, took refuge under a tree. A flash of lightning 
struck the tree, instantly killing him and the horse which he was riding at 
the time. Not coming home as usual that night, a search was instituted in the 
morning., which resulted in the finding of a dead body. The only mark upon the 
body was a discoloration of the left side. He was buried on last Sabbath, the 
funeral services being held in the M. E. church. An immense concourse of 
people were present and a very impressive and appropriate sermon was delivered 
by Rev. Swearengen. The young man was about eighteen years of age.
