Killed with Lightning.

Mr. R. J. Wildman of Saratoga informs us that James Hall, a resident of that town plowing in the field near his house on Tuesday last was instantly killed with lightning, also that one horse of his team was killed. About four weeks ago his grain stacks standing near by where he was killed were struck with lightning and burned. Mr. Hall is spoken of as a good citizen and neighbor. He leaves a wife and five children in not very good circumstances to buffet the cold charities of the world. May the God who watches over the widow and the orphan{s} include His creatures to render them such assistance and aid as their abundance will warrant.
