Mrs. THOMAS PRATHER.-This ex-
cellent lady died at her residence in
this city, on Thursday night. Her
husband, Thomas Prather, ESQ.,, died
in 1923. He was in his day, one OF
the most influential and eminent cit
izens Of the Commonwealth. To
his public spirit and sagachy this
city is most largely indebted for its
prosperity. Since his death, his
widow has lived in retirement, low
ing, and beloved OF her friends, and
dispensing an unostentatious. but
generous hospitality. Having adorn-
ed every station in life to which she
was called, she died. as she lived, in
the love Of all her kindred and friends,
and in the faith Of the great Redeem

A LUNAR PHENoMENoN-One o.
the most singular phenomena, caused
by the relractive agency Of the at.
mosphere upon the lunar rays, thai
we ever witnessed, occurred last
evening. We certainly never saw
the like. The moon was surrounded
with a halo Of immense diameter
while at opposite points Of the rin1,
situated relatively on the plane ofthe
horizon, were two auroral offshoots
OF light, called, we believe, in COM
mon language "moon dogs" To-
wards the zenith, and equi-distanl
from the two points mentioned, was
an uuroral appearance, entirely out
side the halo, and describing about
the sixth of a circle, corresponding
in size to the halo, and curving in an
direction to the correspon-
ding segment of the halo. To illus
trateits relative aspect, we instance
the horns Of semi-lunar figure,
held pointing upwards, above any
ring or circular figure. We hope
some Of our Saodns will explain the

HWe are sorry to learn that
Messrs. Thompson 81 Grout, livery
stable proprietors, met with a con.
siderable loss, last evening, in the
following manner. Messrs. A. S.
Nye and Chas. Cornwell, cashiers of
the Ross County and Athens Branch
Banks, respectively, rode out TO the
residence of Mr.. C.'s mother, in this
vicinity. Mr.. Nye was returning
in a carriage belonging TO t. & g.,
when, owing 10 the extreme dark
ness of the night, the carriage JOS
tied against a tree and threw the
driver off. Mr.. Nye got out with.
out difficulty, and the horses started
off in a run. They dashed through
town, and were totally missing until
this morning, when they were found,
drowned, in the Scioto river, near
Warmers mill. The carriage is
total wreck. Mr.. Nye very mar
rowly escaped an awful death, pre-
ceded by scarcely less awful ride,
in total darkness.-Chll. Gaz.

We know not when we have
heard of an occurrence more deeply
calculated to awaken the sympathies
of all who learn of it, than the fol-
lowing: In this county on WeGnes-
day morning, the 9th uIt., Mr.. w.
Richardson was married to Miss
Susan L. Lawson, and Immediately
started on a journey to Indiana,
reaching this place the same even
ing. On the following morning
Mrs Richardson complained OF being
too unwell to travel, and on the
next ednesday was conveyed back
to her fathers residence a corpse
having died of a severe attack Of
pneumonia. Thus in one short
week were all the fond hopes and
pleasing anticipations of the youth
tul bride and bridegroom blighted by
the hand of death. How clearly
does this sad occurrence prove that
"Frail is the tenure Of our mortal breath
Yea, in the midst oflife we are in death.n

F Lady Ejizabeth Grey, wife OF the
Right Hon. Sir Charles Edward Grey,
Governor Of Jamaica, died on the
18th ultimo, after giving birth to a
still born child. The Governor and
his lady have not lived together, cor
have.they seen each other, for several
years. His debts in England com.
PEELED him to take foreign appoint-
ment, and il is rumored that she did
not accompany him to Jamaica in
consequence Of a difference between
them, growing out oil The Governors
attempt, which was partially sue
cessful, to lay hold of her ladyship's
separate property. As both parties
belong to families Of the first rank in
England, the Governor being brother
Of Earl Grey, her Majesty's Secre-
tary for the Colonies, the irregularity
which brought her ladyship to the
grave, is naturally the subject Of
some scandal. though, of course, it is
confined TO the "very first circles"
A TRAGEDY.-Great sensation has
been caused in the department of the
Charente by the arrest of the
Countess du s. and OF the Cure
Of the commune OF St. German, on
the charge of having poisoned the
servant Of the latter, in order to pre-
vent her from revealing the adulte-
rous connection which existed be-
tween them. The body Of the SER
want, which the Cure had caused to
be buried with great haste, has been
dug up, and poison discovered in it.
When the Count du s., highly
honorable man, heard Of the horrible
accusation against his wife, he pro-
posed 10 her that they should both
commit suicide, and should make
their child, aged eight, die with them.
The Countess consented. A pan Of
charcoal was lighted, and the three
fastened themselves in a close room.
When, however, the father saw his
son struggling in the agonies of death.
his courage failed him, and he broke
the window for air. Medical assis-
tance having been promptly afforded,
all three recovered. The Countess
and her clerical paramour were
lodged in the Jail of AngouIene, t"
await their trial for the alleged mur
der.-Galigndnis Messenger.

ges to be derived from the canal.

ded majorities.
