Lightening struck the house of James Wryn of Northeast Elkhart this morning. It entered an open door in the kitchen, and passing along the floor splintered the boards in one or two places. Mrs. Wryn and two other ladies were in the room at the time, but only Wryn was affected. She was prostrated and for some time was unconscious. After returning consciousness she felt no effects except in one toe. She had the sensation of being burned. After passing along the floor the fluid struck a kerosene can full of oil, and making six small holes in the can, it ignited the oil. One of the ladies quickly threw the can out of doors, and no serious results followed. The can presents a peculiar appearance. The holes being very small with no indentation of the can. About the holes the tin is blackened by the smoke of the burning oil. The escape of Mrs Wryn was fortunate and the results were most luckily not at all serious.
