OBITUARY.

Mr.. JOHN r. WEIGH, who was killed
by stroke of lightning, ON the open
prairie near Muscatine, on July 3lst,
was member of the Presbyterian
church at Upton. We have seldom, If
ever, been more impressed with death
than with that of Mr.. Welch. 1t was
SO unexpected and so striking. Wehave
all felt that God directed it, and were
ready to say with the Psalmist, II was
dumb, l opened not my mouth; because
thou didst it," Had Mr.. WEIGH been
permitted to live eight days longer, or
until August 8th, he would have been 80
years of age. He was born in Harrison
county, Ohio where his aged father and
some of his friends still reside. He came
to Iowa ten years ago last March, and
made a profession Of religion about nine
years ago, in the M. +. church near De-
Witt, Clinton county, and the year fol-
lowing o Presbyterian church having
been organized ut Dewitt, he removed
his connection to that church; and he
lived, SO far as we know, quiet, steady
and consistent christian to his dying
day. He was married October 10Th,
1865, to Miss Mary Green, of Rochester,
who, with other dear relatives and
friends, are left to mourn his early and
sudden removal. On June 23d, 1866, he
united, upon certificate, with the Pres
byterian church of Upton; and was af-
forwards elected one of it's trustees, and
also one Of its Sabbath School teachers.
In all these relations he was kind, at
tentive and faithful. As a sou, brother
and husband he was affectionate and
devoted. As citizen he was distin-
guishcd for his gentlemanly bearing
his strict Integrity, and his warm social
qualities. As christian he was consci.
entious, cheerful and ready to every
good work.
Although Mr.. WEIGH was suddenly
removed from US, he was not called, WI
believe, unprepared. He was but taken
as it were, by achariot of fire, like Elijah
up higher; SO that we mourn not as those
who have no hope. HE walked with
God. and is not, for God took him
Blessed are the dead which die in thu
Lord" How appropriate the exhorta
ton to each Of us who remaim-"Bey y,
also ready, for in such an hour as y,
think not the Son of Man cometh."

WE HAVE received lengthy commu-
nication from our Clarence correspond
ent, and from which we CLEAN the fol-
lowing items of local news. The bal
ance of the letter will appear soon:
Our. little town has enjoyed quiet and
rest for a few days. We have had no
late visit from thieves or barn burners.
Trade was quite good last week. New
wheat was in good request and ruled
firm until the latter part of the week.
Our grain dealers had all they could
handle, and if we can judge by the
bright and smiling countinences of some
of our prominent buyers, they were
making good thing. But alas, on Fri
day afternoon the news that was re-
ceived by Telegraph, caused a decided
change in the countinances of some of
our buyers; those faces that had been
bright and smiling up to three o'clock
Friday afternoon, became very sudden
ly elongated.
Wheat sold from $1.25 to Sl.55! per
bushel; oats, 80 cents; Barley from so
to Gee.
Christie Irwin, living OH the farm Of
Abner Piatt, had his wheat burned in
the bin, he did not save bushel. It is a
heavy loss for him, but the people will
help him bear the loss. Cause Of fire
unknown.
1t is warm and dry. Corn is going to
he light crop, if we do not have rain
soon. There was bet@een 5000 and
10000 bushels of wheat shipped from
Clarence last week. j. p. +.

from the name of the constellation of
which it is the gem and crown. 1t may

but conspicuous stars of the fifth magni-

half times greater than that of the sun,
and it takes its light twenty-one years
to reach US.

DEATHS BY LIGHTNING.-Few people
are aware how many are the deaths from
lightning. It appears, from statistics
kept in France, that, during the last
thirty years; mora than ten thousand
people were struck BY lightning, Of
whom two thousand two hundred and
thirty-two were killed outright. Eight
hundred and eighty were killed during
the last ten years, and OF these only two
hundred and forty-three were females.
If lightning falls on crowd 1t does
more mischief among the men than
among the women, the taller persons
being most exposed. Again, animals
are frequently stricken, while the per-
sons in charge Of them are spared. The
old idea that the beech tree Is protec-
ton is fearful error--the neighborhood
of all isolated trees being dangerous,
like that Of all highly projecting objects,
except when they are in metallic connec-
ton with the soil. Railroads and tele-
graph. wires are protectors, in SO far as
they are able to absorb and convey con-
siderable amounts Of electricity. Every
locomotive does this unperceived-its
metallic mass being an excellent con-
ductor. Walking along railroad track
where 1t runs through country with
out trees Is as dangerous as taking shell
Ter ulUeT u Call Tree. ludJ Wluuo"S 0To
dangerous is believed to be an error, as
experience does not show that lightning
strikes through open windows or follows
q draft of air.
VALUE OF OLD RoPE.-Among the
numerous, worn-out, and, often-consid-
cred worthless materials which the in
genuity of man has discovered means of
notwithstanding, and rendering of equal
value with the original substance are
old tarred ropes. Our readers will be
surprised when we inform them that,
out of this dirty and, apparently, un-
detachable substance is produced a tissue
paper of the most beautiful fabric, even
of surface and delicate Of color, ream
of which, with wrapper and strings,
weighs two and half pounds. 1t is
used principally in the potteries for
transferring the various patterns to the
earthen ware, and is found superior to
any substance yet known for that pur-
pose. 1t is so tenacious that sheet
oft twisted by hand in the form of rope
will support upward of one hundred
weight. Truly, we live in All age of in
vention.
