BEFORE GOVERNOR AND COUNCIL
Among the matters to come before Gov. Cobb

Dewire is represented by Staples & Glidden of Bath and a
hearing assigned.

is convicted and stands committed to Auburn jail, Androscoggin

Remarkable Effect of
Lightning
On Tuesday last the
house of Mr. Haskell of Livermore,
Maine was struck and very much injured by
lightning. The fluid entered the chimney which it rent from
the top to bottom and bursting out in several places, it scattered
every direction. There was no part of the house that it did
not enter, nor scarcely a piece of wood which did not leave marks of
the destructive element. A large hole was burst out in the
room and in either side of the building; several windows were stove
out, a clock considerably damaged, &c. Seven persons were
in the house and were knocked down though not seriously
injured. But the most remarkable circumstance is yet to be
told. Mrs. Haskell was sitting in a chair about the middle of
one of the rooms rocking her infant when the lightning entered.
A part of the fluid which was traced upon the floor, took the
direction of her chair, shattered the rocker, passed up the post,
entered the clothes of Mrs. H. near her hip, passed down her leg
into her shoe, which it ripped into pieces and then escaped from the
house. Mrs. H. recovered probably in a few seconds (as did the
other persons) finding herself and infant on the floor. The
face of her infant being black she supposed it dead, but soon found
that it was only covered with soot from the chimney and was not
injured. The leg of Mrs. H. was a little burnt and her feet so
benumbed as to disable her for walking for some hours but she is now
perfectly well.
