Hanging Grove, Aug. 20 th, 1877. iIDiTOR Sentinel: I see in your paper of the 17th, that the cause of the burning of John G. Culp’s barn is unknown. I wish to correct by stating that I was going after after a load of fire-wood on the 13th, (last Monday), north of his (Culp’s) place, and when within about half a mile of his house I saw lightning descending in the vicinity of his barn, and in a little time saw flame and smoke issue therefrom, so that I am satisfied lightning was the cause. I write this to satisfy public curiosity. p. Gleason.
