Inasmuch as some people have no
faith in the utility of lightning rods, we
make some corrections Of our statement
Of last week in respect to the dwelling
house Of the Hon. Henry Johnson Of
Somers. 1t was stated that Mr.. John
sons house was provided with a light
ming rod, but that the lightning struck
part Of the building some distance
from the rod this is a mistake. Upon
examination it was found the larger
portion Of the electric fluid, probably
passed off on the rod into the ground,
while a small current followed tin
cave gutter, to the one story addition,
which it was at first supposed was the
only place where the lightning struck
A thorough examination of the case
renders it quite evident that but for the
lightning rod the building must have
been badly shattered, if not entirely de
stroyed. 1t should be remarked that
the rod was not a perfect one, the con,
Meeting joints being defective.
On Thursday evening last the light
ming struck the passenger depot of the
Lake Shore Road in this city. The
electric fluid appears to have first struck
one of the telegraph poles, thence cross
ing the street to the Telegraph office
SCATTERING the windows, destroying por
tons Of the machinery and scattering
things generally. Several persons were
in the depot at the time, and one MAJ
sitting near the Telegraph instruments
sustained some injuries from the shock
Mr. Brockway had onlya minute before
taken the precaution, to put in the
ground wire, which doubtless saved tn,
depot from great damage, and perhaps
prevented the loss of life;
In both of the aforementioned cases
it is instructive to remark the influence
of lightning rods, and agents for con
Quoting electric fluids. These instance
furnish additional evidence, that rod
properly put up, may in great measur
if not wholly afford protection againi
lightning.

We confidently expect as soon as the
harvesting is over, to see an earnest
commencement Of the fall campaign in
this county. Every neighborhood and
school district needs to be canyassed
and meetings held wherever practicable
We are pleased to know that the right
kind of feeling prevails among the far
mers in the county,an determination
to swell the Republican majority this
fall at least two hundred over that Of
any former year. The city may be re
lied upon to contribute more than its
share to this result.

Runaway.-A somewhat amusing scene took
place in our streets day or two since-no more
nor less than mule runaway Mr.. John Weir
while driving mule harnessed to buggy, thro'
the streets, was suddenly treated to the romance
Of diversified and somewhat lengthy runaway
The mule commenced his pranks, shying over
the sidewalk in front of Bains new Hardware
store ,impinging against tonsorial gentleman
IN his passage, with such force as to set himspn-
ming like a cyclone. The hybrid having reached
the open square, commenced marking time"
with considerable vehemence, for moment,
which performance having come suddenly to an
end the mule, with ears depressed made bold
push for Somewhere" and just managed to clear
the charybdis of English's Harness shop-the
way betwee that and the Court House was
quickly devoured, turn at the Court House and

Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

is constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mereurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution. descending /" from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81

Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that serofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption. which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
IN this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause. 2e.laA
