ty, was instantly killed At aboutnoon
last sunday, by stroke oflightning.
His wife who was near by, was 90
stunned that she remained scnselcss

Il tree near the house, when the light
ming struck the tree and paused down
in such manner that he received
the full force of the shock. He fell
upon his back, and the position in
which he lay when found, indicate
that he did not move a muscle after
falling. His wife, who stood at the
corner Of the house, but few feet
distant, was struck senslcss. The
only child, a little girl about three
years old, was in the house at the time
and was not injured Galena Gazette.

TIE CHANGES OF FoRTUNE.-A few
months ago Charles " Culver was
at the head Of one of the most sue
cessful banking houses at New DIRK,
Culver, Penn & Co., and was cstab.
lishi1g banks, building railroads,
founding towns, and endowing chur-
ches and colleges in the oil rcgionso Of
Pennsylvania. lie was elected to-
Congress from the twentieth Penn
sylvania district, though he offered
the convention that nominated him
$50. 600 for party purposes if they
would leave him to- his business.
But Just then he was prosperous, ris-
ing, and popular and it is in the gen
JUS of American politics to elevate
such men to public Offices. 4 few
weeks ago the dullncss Of the oil
trade and the extent Of his business
ventures and spcculations necessita-
ted the suspension of Mr.. Culvcrs
firm, and now he has gone to jail to
await trial on the charge of flaudu
lentiy obtaining from the office Of the
auditor general Of Pennsylvania, the
bonds of the Petroleum and Venango
banks. Suits without number have
been brought against him, and tired
Of trying to restore his business to
soundncs with dozen lawsuits
fronting him at every step. he has
taken refugeia Jail. lie is the victim
Of excessive speculation, the inordin-
ate haste for the achievement of
wealth which has sadly characterized
the past few years Of our history.
lie is believed to have been honest
and upright, but was impgudent and
bold even to recklcssness In his in
veStments and speoulations, and
hence his downfall Gen. Burnside
offered him a loan of So, 900 on the
day of his failure, enough to supply
his present needs, but he refused it,
lest il should prove insufficient TO
prevent his failure The same spirit
Of caution six months earlier would
have been worth hundreds of thou-
sand Of dollars to himself and those
connected with aim.
