Lightning. The lightning thus far, the
present year, has been destructive. On the
18th of April two barns were struck by light
nine, set on fire, and with their contents con-
sumed; and on the 21st three barns were
burnt together with their contents, one of
these barns had been twice before struck by
LIGHTNING. Five horses and sixteen head Of
cattle were burnt in these barns, together
with hay, grain, flour, carriages, &C., &c.
The opinion expressed by learned men that
the heat of new hay in barns is the cause OF
disasters by lightning, is unsettled by the fact
that the lightning destroys more barns with
old hay in them than with new hay. 80

Judgment, which must suffer sad eclipse by

| PmsfeL. u. 1917. EC!'
The foregoing article is inserted for the
consideration of those who feel disposed to
examine its merits. That tobacco has its uses,
no one can nationally deny; and on the 9th
er hand, where it has been used successfully
as a medicine, there is no doubt that appetite,
formed from its habitual use, has demanded
and obtained more than was needful to the
system. The writer of the article, while wri-
ting it, probably had in his mind the editor of
the Voice, who occasionally sets fire to little
tobacco even the best he can get Be that
as it may, no offence is taken, for if the lat
ter is pursuing practice that will not bear
firing ateither with hot shot,or cold he should
surrender. The medical use began the prac-
ticc with us,and for time the incense arising
from the burning process, gave US rather
hard one, and we think, were the all COM
menced again, the medicine would be dispens-
ed with. But now, and for a long time, that
which was first used incidentally goes first rate
as a luxury. And from our own experience
in drinking and smoking in former years. and
from that of smoking tobacco and dispensing
With Intoxicating drinks for eleven to twelve
years, we are convinced that there is not that
connection which has been represented by
many speakers and writer's on those subjects.
As to the six reasons rendered by " Uncle
Eb" why people should not use tobacco, a
portion of them may be right; but the third
reason would weigh just as strongly against
the use of many kinds of food. And as to
memory, l can recollect that my father
| byowsed me when | was UeIy small boyand
do not think | should have remembered 1t
any farther back, had never used tobacco
Our memory, however, may have been some
what treacherous in some things, for we do
not recollect of ever learning to spell some
names Of persons and places, in the manner
E. c. spelled them in his manuscript; es-
pccially little place called by the writer
" Urope; :" and we hope, should he again Dig
into the records of 800 years past, he will be
sure and spell the Of persons and places
as they should be spelt,as it is not at all times
convenient for us to look up names not tamil-
lar to us.
One thing is probably certain, and that is I;
tobacco is not necessary to health, any farther
than it operates as a medicine. So with many
articles used. Another thing may be named,
and that is, were we to con6ne ourselves to
such articles of food and drink, as are abso-
lutely necessary, but small portion Of those
now used would be continued. AS we under
stand matters, people have right to indulge
in such pleasures as are not wrong IN them
selves, and the question to be settled is,where
to draw the line. When we can be shown
satisfactorily that it is morally wrong to use
tobacco, we will dispense with it. But until
then we shall probably smoke occasional

Astonishing Cures.

VIM. Bond, the celebrated Boston cracker ba

wife has been afflicted with Asthma for 80 years
and could not find permanent relief from the best
medical advice which New York and Brooklyn
could produce, induced to try this great rem
edy. She is now nearly well. His daughter,
who was suffering from the same disease, tried it,
and was also cured by it. Mrs. Bond is now so
well that she is able to rise from. her bed early in
the morning and attend to her usual duties through
the day without any annoyance from her distress

Henry Jackson, 18th street, near the Catholic
Cemetry, came to the store for the purpose Of OBJ

ficted with the Asthma for more than 80 years,
and was so exhausted on his arrival that he could
not speak. He purchased bottle and rode home.
Four days afterward he walked from his residence
to the office without fatigue, distance of over
two miles, to tell of the wonderful relief whichhe
had experienced from using about one half Of one
