(Clearfield, Pa. August 12, 1857 We regret to learn that Mr. John Penticoff, formerly of Burnside township, this county, whilst out harvesting near Davenport, Iowa, was struck by lightning and instantly killed, on the 17th July. His clothes were torn off his person and scattered about the field. Two other persons, who were with him in the field when the storm came up, were also prostrated by the shock, but, we believe, received no special injuries.
