During the sharp thunder storm on ; Friday morning of last week the barn i on Angus Clark's farm, town line of Glenelg, one mile north of the village, was burned by lightning Clark had about three loads of hay in the , barn and Alex. Carson, who formerly j worked the said farm in addition to his own, had 20 tons of hay stored in the same barn. Clark had about $400 insurance in the Grey and Bruce Co., but we do not know whether Carson's policy covers this portion of his crop or not. But it is a bad loss to both of these men. Also the same morning lightning fired a barn l^a miles farther north on the 5th Con. of Glenelg, owned by D. McDonald, and burned it to the ground. The owner was insured in the Sydenham Mutual and had his policy reduced $1000 when he had the barn rodded, thinking it a protection, but all is gone.
