Melancholly. - The wife of Mr. Thomas M'Millen, two young sons of Mr. 
Nathan Green, and two Horses, belonging to Mr. M'Millen, were killed by 
Lightning, on Monday evening last, near Birmingham in this County.  Mr. 
M'Millen and wife, according to the information we have received, were 
returning home form the Potter's, and at the approach of the storm, 
hastened to the dwelling of Mr. Green. They had just reached the door, 
and the deceased Boys taken hold of their horses, when the awful 
summons came, and snatched them into eternity. Mr. M'Millen was struck 
senseless, but soon recovered to witness a scene that was truly 
distressing.
