STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
During the thunder storm of Wednesday last, the  lightening struck and 
demolished the chimney of Mr. Golinger’s house, near the  Rolling Mill in 
Pomeroy, 
killing a dog which happened to be under the house, but  doing very little 
damage other than that.  The storm was one of the hardest  of the season.

E. H. Stedman
This gentleman, formerly of Middleport, but now residing  in Linn county, 
Iowa, visited our sanctum last week, looking as hearty and  pleasant as ever.  
He 
seems well pleased with his new home in the  west.  Mr. S. was always a 
strong friend to the Telegraph, and says he  cannot do without it now.  He 
receives 
it regularly, and reads  advertisements and all.  We wish him abundant 
success in his new  home.

Homer M’Vay
We presume this gentleman will pardon us for stating that he  is the author 
of the letter from Delaware, O., published in another  column.  He is now a 
student of Theology, at Lane Seminary, Walnut  Hills.  We should be pleased to 
hear from him frequently, as also from any  other of our former Meigs county 
boys.

MARRIED
On the 31st of July, by S. H. Hayman, Esq., in Letart township,  near Apple 
Grove, Mr. David Parker, to Miss Mary McGraw, both of this  township.

On the 27th of July, 1856, by the Rev. Elias Gatchel, Mr. Henry Floyd, of  
Jackson county, Va., to Mrs. Olive Thorn, of Meigs county, O.

OBITUARY

Died in Pomeroy, on the 17th inst., Mr. Peter Barclay, in the 48th year of  
his age.

The deceased was a native of Scotland, but emigrated in early life to  Prince 
Edwards, from whence in 1840 he came to this place.  In this death a  widow 
and three young children have sustained and feel a loss, for which all the  
world besides can never be an equivalent.  His brothers and sisters feel  that 
a 
vacancy is made in their circle, that can never in time be filled.

Among his neighbors and friends his memory will long be held in remembrance  
for his many virtues, and his kind, quiet, and friendly deportment.
