M. P. Church Struck By Lightning.

During the severe electrical storm in Rensselaer Friday night, lightning struck the belfry of the Methodist Protestant church, but did not do any great amount of damage. This is the second time in the past few years that this church has been struck, and the Baptist andV Catholic the latter this year—have been struck by lightning during the past half-dozen years.
