CuriOSities for the Fair.

The Tri-States Union, of Saturday, says, that
on the day previous, there passed through
Port Jervis, on the n. Y g. Erie Railroad en-
route for the Worlds Fair, the greatest won
der we ever saw of the sheep kind. This
curiosity is sheep girthing nine feet and
covered with wool of the finest texture, 35
inches long, and growing in natural rolls,
ready for spining, of which rolls there are
5000. The weight of the wool is estimated
to be 80 pounds. The wool hangs In beautl-
ful white rolls reaching to the ground on each
side. There was also a lamb three years old
weighing 300 pounds, and covered with wool
30 inches in length and growing in the same
peculiar way.
We saw also liliputian cow only 30 inch
es high, weighing 229 pounds, and the moth
er of three calves, one of which was by her
side and giving milk, though only l3 months
old. The sheep were raised by James 8ick-
nell, of Aurora, Fire Co., and are of the Beak-
well breed.

mentioned, several new built and heavy
log houses we're totally demolished, and
their contents scattered to the four winds
of heaven.
Several cattle were killed in the line OF
the tornado, and their scattered limbs
found in separate places. About half q
mile northeast on from the Pierce settle
ment, sheep was discovered whirling
several hundred feet in the air.
The course of this destructive and pow
erful tornado was from the southwest to
the northeast, accompanied by the most
rapid and circular whirling motion con
ceivable.
The cloud that attended or preceded
this tornado moved very near the ground,
changing its shape, and form frequently,
and moving rapidly over the scene of de-
vastation.
It appeared to those who saw it at a
distance to be powerfully charged with e.
lectricity, though no inconvenience from its
effects in this recpect was experienced by
those who were near.
Altogether, this was most remarka-
BILE phenomenon, marching in its way a.
cross our country, with force that moth
ing could Withstand nor resist, whirling
the heaviest as we'll as the lightest mate
rials into one confused, ve1ed and broken
mass. One should see the effects in Or
der to form just conception of its power.
The course was providentially through a
tract but little settled, and though sever
al narrowly escaped, have heard of no
persons being killed. Had it passed
through village not house would have
been left in its march"

unconnected phrases, caught in the inter-
walls of her labor, were now reproduced

Passage after passage of the notes taken
down from her feverish lips, were identi-
fed among the cid priests favorite

Coleridge, in speaking of this case, adds
to it one of the weightiest comments ever
uttered -
'This instance, he says contributes to
make it probable that all thoughts are
in themselves imperishable, and that if
the intelligent faculty should be rendered
more comprehensive, and that this is
probable, the instance cited above from
the Opium Eater shows conclusively it
would require only a different and ap-
portioned organization-the body celesti-
al instead of the body terrestrial-to
bring before every human soul the col
lective experience of his whole past exis-
tence. And this, perchance, is the dread
Book of judgment, in whose mysterious
hieroglyphics every idle word is recorded.

it may be more possible that heaven and

An elopement and marriage took place
in Wheeling the other evening, of a young
ster and his landlady's daughter, who had
Just arrived at sweet sixteen. They had
their clothes all made and snugly slowed
away, but the old lady had not been look
ing over her spectacles for nothing, and
and when the hour had came for stealing
off, the new cloths were missing. Not to
be foiled the young lovers borrowed suit
able apparel, and departed one evening
for the Justices, the old lady just being
in time to be too late. She had her re-
venge, however, in her own way. She
went to the bureau where she had locked
the clothes of the parties, took his to a
wood pile, and with an axe cut up his
boots, demolished his beaver, chopped his
coat and pantaloons mincemeat fashion
and tore his linen into ribbons.

Electrical influence.
A NEW DISCOVERY.

1t is the general impression among scienti-
fic men, that only small portion of the pow
er and influence of electricity has yet been
developed: One of its recent applications
has been the lighting of cities. AS one of
the results of this new application, we notice
the following statement from, the Paris cores
pondent of the National IntelIigencer:
"Scienee, particularly electrical science
seems to be making fresh triumph every day.
We have now to a new application of elec-
tricity by Joseph Watson, which is exhibit
ing in the neghborhood of Wadsworth. The
great feature of the invention is, that the
materials consumed in the production of cleo
trical light are employed for profitable pur-
pose, independent of the illumination, and
more than rem enumerating the entire expenses;
SO that the light, which is rendered constant
and brilliant, is produced for nothing. Thus,
while the light is produced by galvanic ac-
ton, materials are introduced into the Bate
ry, which pigments of the finest quality are
obtained these are so valuable, that they con-
sderably exceed the entire cost Of the opera
tion, DR.. Watson thus speaks of his inyen-
tion, in pamphlet not yet published
"Our battery We have termed chrOmatic
battery and its produce is colors. 1t may
seem difficult to imagine how any number of
galvanic arrangements can be made to yield
a great variety of colors: but when it is re-
membered that the real number of natural
colors is small, and that difference of tint
and shade imparts to each separate pro-
duct a distinct commercial existence as
color, we may then be believed when we say,
that by the use of not more than Eve substan-
ces introduced into our batteries, we are able
to produce no less than one hundred valuable
pigments, exceeding in value, by great per
centage, the original value of the article con-
tributing towards their production. Our
mode of producing these colors consists, not
in any subsequent mixing Of the products re-
sulting from the working our batteries, butit
is the result of the actual development of the
electricity in he battery"
