Lightning Broke Her Spectacles.

A thunderbolt played a very impertinent prank on Mrs. D. A. Baker, at her home in Warrenville, a day or two ago, and nearly scared the lady out of her wits at the same time. A rollicking thunderstorm was rolling overhead, when suddenly a bolt shot down the big chimney of the old house, glanced out into the kitchen, where Mrs. Baker was busy with household chores, whisked a pair of spectacles off the good woman’s nose, and smashed them in her lap. Mrs. Baker was not injured in the least —Hartford Courant.
