following is from the last Knoxville
Register:
We understand that specimens OF
silver ore found near the Cumberland
Falls. in Kentucky were exhibited a
few days since in our city by Mr..
Lewis Renfro, of that State. We
also learn that the qualities Of this
ore have been tested by skillul as
sayer, who ccrtifes that the yield is
sufficiently large to afford profitable
Investment to those who may embark
in the business. A specimen Of the
precious metal produced from this
ore was submitted Mr. Samuel Bell,

of this ore extends to distance of n

A FREAK OF THE FLUID.-During
Saturday afternoon, while heavy
storm was passing down The lake, so
as to prevent tclegraphing. the light.
ming took possession of the wires, and
followed them to the office in this city.
The main wire was disconnected from
the instrument; but the lightning
jumped some six inches from the end
of it, and caught another wire leading
to the relay.
The insulated wire on the heIists
was melted off. and fell IN drops on
the wood works. From these it passed
to The key. which was open some hall
an inch. and brought it down. melting
the platina, soldering the key solid
together.
When the lightning left the main
wire and Jumped. it burned the win.

some six inches off, The sparks and
fire flew. resembling the explosion Of

experienced in its manufacture. More.
over, these volatile principles, which fly
of IN vapor, or as an exhalation under
heat, are the very essential medical pro.
Pert'es Of the root, which gives to it
all lis value"
Mr.. b. said that the secret was, that
the volatile properties, which the old
doctor, being a scientific man, secured
and preserved, slipped through the fin
tiers Of the young doctor, and were lost
TO the medicine. The old doctor had
also caution in his advertisement,
which warned the public that they
would know the preparations of the
old doctor, as none was genuine unless
his name was labelled upon it.
He called upon the Senator from
Kentucky to explain this, and hoped he
would have better luck in SO doing than
he had when he attempted to reply to
the argument made upon the parlia-
meniary law of packing. He con-.
mentcd also upon Mr.. CIay's reply to
that argument.
Mr.. B. then alluded TO the statements
that this bill was designed TO restore
peace and harmony to a distracted
country. He commented upon the
very inharmonious appearance of the
debate on Saturday, and upon the appa-
rentIy disappointed appearance of the
Senator from ken,acky on that occa.
sion. He considered sort of marri-
age ceremony this polygamous conion-
ing Of four or five measures into one.

, contrasted also the present difficulties

/ the consequent disappointment of the

that ensued between the centaurs and
