    • LIGHTNING'S FATAL WORK.

      Two men killed and Three Persons Wounded at Berlin During the Storm Last Saturday.

      On Saturday last at 12 o'clock lightning struck the new dwelling of Wm. Fehernbach, saddler, of Berlin, and instantly killed two men Wesley Learn of Berlin and young Merklinger of Dundalk, who were working on the building, and wounded Mr. Bower, Rosie Straus and Jacob Schoeno.

      This is one of the saddest catastrophes that has befallen the town of Berlin for many years. The unpleasant duty of breaking the sad news to the young wife of Mr. Learn is beyond description.

      Mr. Bartlett, the undertaker had charge of the dead and embalmed the bodies in a manner that proved very satisfactory. At all the Churches in town feeling reference was made on Sabbath, to the sad lightning fatality of Saturday and the bereaved families have the heart felt sympathy of all. The funeral was largely attended on Monday afternoon. The remains of Merklinger were, taken to Dundalk on Monday morning. His parents live seven miles from that village on a farm. He was an excellent young man
