this substance acquired an additional weight

wonderful advantages have been gained by
the application of sulphate Of iron on soils in
which that ingredient is wanting, and in cases
where it was desired to produce an early crop
The material is OF course cheap, and the
quantity applied small All the scales falling

considerable sand ridge, in a grove OF tall

protected by lightning rod, the first three
sections Of which are ocisgonal copper; the
balance is rod iron The most reasonable
theory is, that the copper received a greater
charge than the iron could carey Oh. The
consequences was, that a portion Of the cleo
tticity was diverted from the copper TO the
house, entering the roof some little Distance

through the Aoor to the ground. His wife,
who was awake at the time, was unconcious
that her husband was struck, and felt the
shock in her foot, in which she is afflicted
with rheumatism. He had been awake but q

and closed the door The deceased had
changed his position to the back part OF the

The bedroom was lighted for moment by the
Aash, and as above stated, Mrs felt slight
shock in her lame foot Little dreaming that
her husband was a corpse by her side, she
quietly remarked: "That shocked my foot"
There was no response. The remark was re-

hand upon him, the dread truth flashed upon
her mind An examination Of the body dis
