ExrRloRprxARY ErrEcr OF LronrSrse.-

EXTRAORDINARY EFFECT OF LIGHTNING
The Auburn Advertiser learns that the
residence of Mr. s. A. Goodwin, of Detroit,
formerly of Auburn, was struck by light
ming on Thursday morning of last week.
The inmates of the house were alarmed
by the tremendous crash and falling of
mirrors, pictures, plaster and timbers, and
on springing from their beds and procdr
ing lights, found the house literally in ru-
inS. Mirrors were dashed in pieces, plas-
ter WAS shaken from every room, windows
were broken and the chimney was split
from top to bottom, and shingles, ciaps
boards and bricks scattered into the
streets. The family were obliged to va
cate their house Immediately. The escape
from injury of every member of the iami-
ly was proyidential. The bed from which
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodwin rushed, on hear
ing the conclusion was Immediately filled
with timbers which would have crushed
them had they remained a moment long
er The injury to the furniture is consid-
cradle, and the house is very badly dam
aged. The lightning, after playing its
various pranks made its exit by running
through a sword cane and splitting it
neatly into two pieces, then following the
wire Of the door-bell out of doors into the
ground.

From WAsHINGroN.-Dr. Forney, Super
intendent of Indian Affairs in Utah, writes
to the Indian Bureau that he has made sew
eral treaties with tribes who have been at
enmity for several years. The nations he
had visited have always been faithful to
the United States, but are in position to
have done, if so disposed, much more
harm than the Mormons. Indian affairs
are represented to be in very mixed up
condition. He intends to visit all the
tribes from Salt Lake to Carson Valley.
The agent, Mr.. Redfeld, writes from
Fort Pierre, Nebraska Territory, that the
Sioux Indians are much excited on ac-
count of the treaty made by the United
States with the Yanctohs. They claim
that the lands belong to them and protest
against the Tanctons being paid anything.
They are in an unsettled and disturbed
state of mind. Mr.. Redfeld could not
have transacted his business with them
if it had not been for the presence of the
troops. They are nsolent and fault.find.
ing, aud it may be necessary to chastse
them severely.
The stipulatons Of the Landemine trea
ty are not observed, nearly all the nations
and tribes being at war, and repudiatina
on one another, as well as on the whites.
G. D. Mott, of Mississippi, has been ap
pointed Commissioner to Washir gton and
Oregon territories, under the act of Con
gress to examine and report on certain
claims previous to their payments fol
which conditional appropriation has beer
made.
