All the family were more or less shocked; they however recovered, with the exception of Mrs. E. The electric fluid entered the house by passing down the chimney. Also, a small tree, adjoining a still house, about a mile from the above, was struck; and several hogs outside the building killed, and the stiller, brother to Mr. Edwards above named, prostrated speechless; he fortunately, however, recovered.
