STARTLING ELECTRICAL PHENONENoN-
This morning, one of the most startling
as well as singular electrical phenomena,
occurred on the telegraph lines through.
out the United States, that has ever taken
place in this country. 1t has been mani
Tested on the various telegraph lines
throughout the country during all this
forenoon, thereby causing much annoyance
to the operators. 4 series of currents OF
electricity, entirely independent of the
batteries, seem to have taken possession Of
the wires, and to such an extent that the
National Telegraph line was actually ena-
bled to send messages from New York ia
Pittsburg, Pa, correctly without the use
of a particle of galvanic battery, using
this Independent electricity of the air in
the place of that supplied by the ordinary
batteries!
This is a phenomena, we are assured,
which has never taken place, even among
the many pranks an unseen power Is dai-
ly practicing on the telegraph wires. As
has been stated. the extraordinary freak
is doubtless owing to the Aurora Borealis,
as the wires were paralyzed during their
shining on Sunday night. As these same
lights were shining brilliantly after one
o'clock this morning it is fair to presume
that the phenomena of to-day may be at
tributed to the same cause.
We understand that Professor Henry j,
devoting especial attention to this subject
and it may result in throwing light upon
the cause and effect Of the Aurora Borealis
so long a subject of discussion among Oul
| saUdnS- Wdshiugt1u States.

HORRIBLE CASE or SELF-MUTILATIoN.-
One of the most horrible cases of seli-mu-
tilation we have ever heard of or read, oc-
CURED at a rolling-mill in Centre county,
! Pa, last week. The particulars of the
case, which we do not think has a parallel
on record, are as follows:
A young man named Aaron lrely, who
had recently been pardOned out of the
penitentiary, where he was confined for
hOrse-stealing, had been hanging around
the rolling-mill for several DAYS. Nothing
unusual was observed in his demeanor
On Wednesday morning, soon after the
works were started, he deliberately walk
ed 10 the large iron shears, and before
any one was aware of his design, placed
his arms between the blades, both Of
which were completely severed about
midway between the hands and elbows.
The horrible act was performed so cool
" and deliberately that no suspicion was
entertained Of his design. When ques
toned as to his motive for the selt-mutl
lation, he replied that his hands had beer
the means Of sending him to the peniten
tiary once, and he was determined they
should never get him into trouble again
lie was taken to neighborlng house, ano
physician sent for, who re-amputateo
both Of his arms-an operation winch ne
is said 10 have borne with a stoicism ano
indifference that astonished all who wit
messed it. lie is recovering rapidly ano
manifests the utmost unconcern Tor the
