DNAR SIR —As it is reported that the lightning struck the wind mill on the barn, I think the mobilo should know the truth of the matter, and I am in a positioa to give as true a statement as those who live at a distance. and neither saw nor heard anything ot the occurrence but because their was a wind mill on the barn they im atone the lightnInCrimet have struck it. But such is not the easel the barn stood east and west and the 'mind mill was on thelvvest side of the roof at the peerline plate. The house is weet of the barn ten rods and a little north. I was stending on the verandah at the tinseron the aouth side of the kitchen. As soon as I heerd the report I looked at the barn but could see no sign of anything wrong with the barn or the mill, neither could 1 see any emoke or fire I then went into the honse. My son Charlie was sta,nding in the driving shed door et the time it struck, which is half way between the barn and the house; he looked at the barn and theta .1te stepped out side to see if it was the house that was struele Then he went to the bent and (melted the. -door and sew it was ou fire at. the south eist oorner; he ran to the 'house and told nae. 1 went to the barn and into it more throe ten feat east of where the wind milistood and there was no fire at the shafting or at the foot or within ten feet of theavvind mill then; and if the lightn- ing had struck the mill the fire would have started eround it or at the foot of it. There were three or four' of the neighbors who saw what they say loek- ed like a big ball of fire fall and strike ten south east corner of the barn, and the etnoke rose at mace, anti they are reedy to take oath to the same if necessary. I could not see the smoke because there was a strong wind blowing from the west at the time. Now Mr. Editor if the wind mill drew the ligbtning as some peop•e say it did I would like to have them answer thin question: "How was it %bat the lightning' passed the mitt and ann.* the barn over forty feet frotn where the null stond." I aan not a wind mill agent neither have I written the above to help tiny agent to sell one, but 1 have given thef acts just as they happened. Yours respectfully.
