      The schooner JOHN Q. ADAMS, Capt. B. Stanard, of this port, bound from Cleveland to the Upper Lakes, was struck by lightning a short time since near Fort Gratiot, on Lake Huron, and a brother of the captain and two other hands killed, and another so badly injured it was thought he would not recover. Two or three head of cattle, and more than 20 sheep were also killed. The lightning struck the main mast. The schooner has returned to Detroit.
