A CURIOUS LNCIDENT.—During the late snow-
storm in the Highlands a curious circumstance occurred at
the dog-kennel of his Grace the Duke Buckingham, Glen-'
bucket Lodge. In the morning the head keeper, Mr. Mac-'
niool, and one of his assistants, went to visit the dogs, and,
to their great utonishment, he found seven out of nine of
them, the other two being puppies, standing in regular
pointing posittona. For tome time they could not make out
what had happened, and began to think that their canine
charge had been bewitched. Before much time for investi-
gation was allowed, the mystery was cleared up by the
whirr, one after another, of ,e' en partridges, escaping from
under a bench, too near the ground to allow the dogs to
enter, but open enough for the entrance of the birds, which
to save themselves from the storm, had forced their way
down a wreath of snow, and through a small swing opening
into the presence of their enemies.—Aberolesia Herald.

AN ACCIDENT OF A SINGULAR NATURE occurred
at the dace of the Electric Telegraph Company, 448,
Strand, on Friday last, April 8. the used commusica-
tions were made with the galvanic wires of the Greenwich
Observatory, in preparation for dropping the Strand ball,
the apparatus was in perfect order, the ball was raised, and
all wee waiting for the completion of the communication
with the Greenwich battery by means of the clock move-
ment in the Royal Observatory. At three minutes before
one o'clock there was at Greenwich a very vivid Hash of
lightning, followed at an interval of four seconds by loud
thunder. This electric distarbaoce of the atmosphere pro-
duced a galvanic current in the wire, which dropped the
ball in the Strand three minutes before its correct time.
The assistant, who had raised the ball in the Strand, hail
commenced unwinding the chain, and his hand was still on
the winch, when the unexpected descent of the ball turned
the winch violently, and struck him down, greatly alarming
some strangers who were present. The ball was again
raised, and was dropped by the ordinary galvanic current
from Greenwich at the usual time. At Greenwich nothing
was known of the accident until information was transmit-
ted from the Electric Telegraph-office.
