Show A Close Cull. New York, 22. The Ulica Herald says : Yesterday alternoon about 4 o'clock, as Governor and Mra. Seymour Sey-mour had just alighted from their carriage on returning from the city, their house was struck bj lightning. Mrs. Seymour had time tt reach the library, while the governor had barely entered the door when the electric current struck the chimney and, after splitting it, passed thence down the roof till it readied the door of the entrance. It then turned inside the house, circling and flashing about the gilt mouldings in the dming room, spotting and dUtiguring it. No material ma-terial damage was done to the boue, but it was a narrow escape for the occupants. |
