Death

Death by Lightning:  During the heavy shower on Saturday the 18th instant, Mr. Elisha Tinker, of Meredith [Delaware Co. NY], was killed by lightning. The electric fluid after shattering and displacing some of the boards in the roof of his house, passed thence through the crevices in the upper floor, without leaving further marks of its progress, to the room where the deceased was sitting with his chair reclining against the wall.  It is most extraordinary that although the shock was so powerful as to cause his instantaneous death, a child which was sitting on his knees at the time, did not sustain the smallest apparent injury.
