H'".,p. his brother.in. law, living on the
friendly terms in the same house nj

landing on Friday, the 9TH ult. during
I'm the latter received painful wound
pi.h terminated his life in about thirty
~ hours afterwards. The particulars oil
y, unfortunate affair, as we gather from
", newspapers, are rs follows:
On the day and evening previous, the
.,,,e. had both been drinking, and on the
raruinc of the said occurrance, Captain
na,car went up stairs to Mr.. flanagan 5
,oom, when an alteration ensued beiweea
ham daring which Capt Duncan gave Mr..

- mon the impulse of the moment.
.,meh Capt. Duncan with a knife in the
aver part of the stomach, inllciing n
eial wound
When Mr. flanagan recovered from his
....iou. aroused by the supposed iudignily,
|. suffered the most eXcruciaiiug tortures
!" the reflection that he had. perhaps, struck
Lawn AS kind friend rs he hau on earth
IA al inauries MS to the cause of the diff
,ahy, Capt Duncan invariably replied
s\othing, i, was nothing and seemed
i,,ermincd not 10 reveal any .hiug that
,sonld afford additional evidence against
II, flanagan. II is said That short time
fore he died, he observed tina, he himself
~,,to blame. He died on Saturday, after
.uacrns the most intense pain. calm and
,ompcsed. fully and freely forgying Mr.
flanagan. He was the only living broth.

Capt Duncan raised troop of horse in
Licking county, Ohio. during the Mexican
war. and served gallant, on the field OF
hattie. lie was brave. noble, and gouer.
ans. and mcrchan, in Coyington for the
ast two wears, was highly esteemed for his

1t may be well to encourage timil
people who arc rclisiously or consti.
tutionally alarmed at Lightning, to
state the doctrine Of chances. As a
general thing, the lightning does not
strike within the space Of a square
mile more than once a year. 1.-THE
person is rod distant, he is seldom,
if ever, killed. Now there are TO-
400 square rods in a square mile,
and if the lightning struck rod after
rod, it would take 100 years to 20
over it; but it smitcs here and there,
and that it will snitc any specified
rod. there is not moro than one
chance to a hundred billion.
Again, other things being equal,
the chance diminishcs as it re CARDS
a low object, as the difference be,
tween the square Of its height and
that of a lover; so that, with a per,
son SIX feet, and a tree sixty feet,
there is but one chance out Of 1864
OF the persons being struck. If he
will 80 close to tree, or in house
without a lod, his danger is proper
tlonally increased.
Again, objects, non conductors
when dry, become good conductors
when wet a dry silk umbrella, il
not tipped with metallic substance
will ward off the lightning; but if wet,
not. Get lightning rods for your
houses, and sec to it that the fastcn.
inSs be much smaller than the rods
that the rods enter the earth, and
fear not the ''red artillery"
It is well for persons who are ma,
turaIly timld, to get electrified q
Iinnmber Of times. 1t renders them
lcss electric, anl therefore less in
danger. Finally, death by light
ming, Is the easiest of all deaths. =
An electric cntcrs-wc arc instantly
iIled--~and life is gone without q
pang. "Ah but the hcrcartcrl'
Well, live right here, and it will be
! all right with you .thcrc--ii it must
be SC.
