REMARKABLE DEATH BY LIGHr-
vfyG.-The death OF George w. Splitter
Of Rensselaer,, Ind. by lightning, re-
GENTLY. was one OF thc most peculiar in
stances Of the kind on record. The
house is situated about one mile from
the town on a considerable sand ridge,
in q grove of tail timber, and is Two ahd
half stories high, protected by a !Sht-
ming rod, the first three sections OF
which are octagonal copper; the balance
is red iron. The most reasonable 'heofy
is that the copper received II greater
charge than the iron could carry OIL
The consequence WAS, that portion OF
Che electricity was diverted from the
copper to the house, and entered the roof
some iit;ie distance from the rod. 1t
PASSED down into the apartments OF the
dwelling, meandering its way through
some four or five rooms, severely shock
ing several persons thai were asleep III
them, a, il passed. It entered the room
OF the deceased, which is on the urst
floor. where ne was in bed with his WIFE,
4 passed up the foot post OF has 0ed,
through his body, and down the head
post, Instantly killing the deceased, ana
shivering it as it passed: then through
the floor to the ground. His wife, who
was awake at the time, WAS unconscious
that her husband was struck, and felt
the shock in her foot IN which she ."as
afflicted with rheumatism. He had been
awake but 4 moment before and closed
the door. The deceased had changed
his position to the bacl, part Of the bed
to enable her 10 get in without ilicon--
venience He lay quietly. Death had
done its work so suddenly as not 10 dis
turb a muscle. The bedroom was light
ed for moment by the flash, and as
above stated Mrs. Splitter felt a slight
shock in her lame foot. Little dream
ing that her husband was corpse by her
side, she quietly remarked: That
shocked my foot There was no reply;
when p,acing her hand upon him, the
dreadful truth flashed upon her mind:
An examination o. the body disclosed
10 marks save slight discoloration Of
the skin in straight line from the foot
to the head. There was no distortion Of
the features-all placid as though asleep.
The deceased was among the first set
tiers of Jasper county, and for four years
filed the Office of Clerk, Auditor and
Receiver of the county, and has been
identified as director IN several OF the
public works OF the state.

IMPORTANT REMEDY FOR DIAR2H EA.
A great deal is said about blackberry
wine, brandy, &C., for looseness OF me
bowels, and no doubt some o. the spjoed
and other preparations of black berries
are useful as mild astringents. But She
chief medicinal virtue OF the blackberry
plant exists not in the .TSi&jt, but III tne
root, and fortunately the root is to be
found almost everywhere and at all sea-
sons, and it is easily preserved dry. :,
Dig. say half & pound Of the small
roots. with the bark only Of the larger
ones; wash clean; put in pan, with
quart Of water, steep and boil till there
is pint of fluid left. Strain this OFF
into a bottle, and it is ready for use. It
will keep any length Of time by adding
a ell of alcohol. o. of strong brandy OF
whisky, to prevent fermentation. A
table spoonf IL, three times a day, is d
dose for a grown person. Even the
''army diarrhea,n which. is chronic from
its commencement, yields to this, With
proper precautions as 10 food.
This remedy is down in the n}eC cal
works, but has been mainly overlooked.
bypllysicians as one OF the ''oid w0netls'
remedies" We are led to speak strong
~ on this subject from the fact that
when the editor of the -AgrjcuffurjsF re-
turned from his labors with the Santa

fail, and all the usual remedies and the
skill Of physicians seemed TO avail moth
Ing. Prof. Alonzo Clark, n. D.. enc OF
the most successful physicians III the
city OF New York, was sent for. In con
euitatiOr he prescribed the simple de-
coction OF blackberry root with & diet
of beef tea and cream. The result IN
checking the disease was remarkable
Within the past few weeks we have
known the blackberry roo: prescribed II
