Fearful Lightning Stroke.
From the Buffalo Express, LIST

rIOu Tue DuualO Elk press, ISL.
Last Thursday afternoon, about o'clock,
a large crowd had assembled at the fair
grounds of the Springville Union Agrcul-
tural Association, when sharp thunder
storm suddenly came up The rain begun
to fall, and the crowd sought refuge from
it's effects ia the exhibition sheds A flash
of lightning took place accompanied by a
loud peal Of thunder, and instantly an aw-
full spectacle was presented
The lightning struck one Of the sheds,
which contained men, women and horses.
About a hundred persons were paralyzed in
an instant, falling on their faces, and as
many as fifty were rendered insensibe for
five or ten minutes, while about a dozen
were very seriously burned. Two horses
were killed on the spot. AN old gentleman
named John GARDENER aud two or three
others are not expected to recover. One
woman was Frustrated and deprived of her
senses, but not of her power of locomotion;
she instiuctively gathered herself up and
ran to the bus, and was conveyed to the
Holmes Hotel, and declares she had nc
knowledge of what took place after the
flash until she found herself in room at
the house.
The lightning struck post in the centre
of the shed, against which Henry Tillou4
the landlord of the West Falls Hotel, was
leaning, and to which horse was attached
| by chain Halter The horse was kiIIeC
instantly, while Mr.. Tillou escaped by be
ing dazed add knocked down. A singular
fact mentioned in connection with this
strange freak of the electric fluid is that al
the persons rendered insensibIe fell upon
| their faces.
| A young lady named Miss Nellie Casey
who wore a white and black checked dress
was quite seriously injured, and her dress wa.
fairly scorched, but did not take fire. Another
woman was struck on the shoulder, the fuiC
passing down her side, raising perfect blste
in its course. A man from Otto was hit on The
| head, and on his recovery the mark was found
to commence at the right eye, which wal
swelled like puff ball, and could be plainly
traced down the neck, across the chest anC
off the left arm.
The most fearful CONSERVATION existed
among the people until it was discovered how
| light the injuries were that had been inflicted
and the excitement was most intense.
great many attributed the stroke to the at
traction of moving machine which stood
| near the shed, but two boys who were sitting
on it at the time escaped uninjured, nor wa;
the machine at all damaged if struck.
valuable mare: which was hitched to {
pole, was knocked down, and died on Frida,
! from the effects of the lightning.

Railway up Mount Washinnton.

Mr. Marsh's long projected railway di-
rect up the mountain is in actual and sue
cessful operation and he is pushing the
whole three miles of mountain side track on
to completion as fast as possible; and he
would be glad to find the protector of the
railway to the moon, help him to obtain his
charter, bid him God-speed in the construc-
ton of his track, and make regular trips
with him, very soon, at the Tip-Top House
on Mount Washington.
The railway proper has its starting point
on trestle work, built up directly from the
waters of the Amnonoosuc and starts off
on a grade of l, 700 feet to the mile, being
the average grade Of the three miles of track
from this place to the summit, and it is con-
fidently expected that one mile will be COM
pleted 10 about four weeks from this time
and the cars running to point known as
"Waumbeck junction" from which place it
is only two miles of mountain pathway to
the top; and another season will doubtless
see the cars go up the whole distance. The
survey of the railway track is on or near
the old Fahyan path most of the way, and
the cars when running can be seen from all
the region below, large part of the way.
This enterprise and achievement is really
one of the greatest wonders of the time, and
so well satisfied are all who have seen it in
operation, whether railroad men or other
wise, that it is not at all visionary asser-
ton to make, that, in five years, passengers
will take the cars at New York, check their
baggage to the Tip-Top House, and with
only one change of cars see the sun rise III
Gotham one day, and from the top of Mount
Washington the next. In fact, the pot is
already boiling which bids fair to cook up
an enterprise which will carry railroad com
munication from Littleton, the present ter
minus, directly into and among the noun
tains, through the Crawford notch to Port
land hasty surveys having been made for a
grand railway scheme from Portland direct
to the great West.

CosT OF WHIsKEY.-The Aurora Beacon
gives the following particulars of the recent
railroad collision at Oswego on the c. B
@. R. r.:
Last Wednesday afternoon John Stod
lard, engineer on locomotive 48, took his
train out of Aurora, intoxicated BY neg
igence of his business at Montgomery, be
arrived at 0s~ego behind time, and side
tracked TO wait for Chilly" Here his mis-
management Of his engine frightened his
fireman, who left him. He then took his
Iengine on the main track to pump up, and
when going at good speed met Billys train,
which he saw only in time to reverse and
jump, ere collision took place. which se-
verely injured both machines. His own en-
gine, reversed, then commenced retro
grade movement and all alone rushed back,
and passed Oswego on the main track, dash
ing into train following the first train to
Oswego. This train '48" mounted at the
speed Of 60 miles an hour, completely de
molisbing the engine and there the destruc
ton stopped. Fortunately no lives were
lost, but the c. B & O., lost at least $780,
GOO by this trick of wbiskey.

Doing a Dun.

In the early days of the Bugle of Free
dom, when first became associated with it
there was among its compositors one Of the
maddest wags that ever made night uproar-
ious with his wild FRANKS He was a
terror to boarding house keepers and res
taurant proprietors, and pushed his credit to
a limit that was only stayed by the dead
wall of refusal to trust He is now useful
and respectable member of society, lead
ing exhor ter at political meetings and enjoys
n prominent place among the opponents of
the license law His good nature remains
however and he loves his joke as dearly as
he ever did, One day tall and cadaverous
looking gentleman came into the Office and
stepping up to our friend asked if G.
was 10, giving his own name.
C. OWNED his errand in an instant
and looking up to where the hats Were hung
replied, .sYes, there's his hat he's round
here somewhere. Say" looking over his case
is G. over there p No." was the reply.
You had better wait, sir, said G. !,
''he'll be in soon.''
The dun-for such he was-waited until
bis patience gave out and then went off,
G. assuring him that the one he
sought was trickey fellow and had
undoubtedly lodged INN.
Next day he came in agaia and going up
to G. with whom he felt acquainted be
asked in a whisper
s'Ts he 10 p
''Yes:" was the reply; there's his hat. p
And then he looked around among the
men, assuring the dun that he couldn't see
him, but advised him to wait. which be
did for an hour, and then went away
The next day when he came in he went
directly to his new acquaintance with the
same question, receiving the same answer.
''The truth isl said C., ''that he knows
you, aud as you come in one door he goes out
the other. You had better watch for him
outside
And the patient man did watch 10 the
cold till the printers went to dinner receiv-
ing a word of encouragement from
G., as he went out
Each day, till Saturday, thus lie came
and on each occasion was met by the ur-
bane and polite CIVIC went and paid
the bill and the dun ceased coming; SO
mortified with his want of shrewduess
that he left dunning and went into the
undertaking business.

The foregoing list comprises only those who
have attended at least half the term, those
standing above 95 per cent. we deem worthy
of particular mention for the fidelity with
which they have performed each duty, and
their conscientious regard for attendance and
department, as well as scholarship.
We are happy to report much greater pro-
portion of the school "pertect" in attendance
than during any proceeding term, yet there
are some who have met the inevitable penal
tv of inattention to this and other duties of a
good student, by falling among the lowest in
the average scale We trust that during the
coming year, all alike, will feel interested in
making their record as worthy of the entire
approval of their parents and teachers as the
most have ever done.

and trial, occupying four entire days.
the jury returned verdict Of guilty in
the second degree. The following is the
concluding portion of the sentence de-
livered by Judge Rothrock:
Your crime is aggravated by the fact
that Charlotte T. Felter, the victim Of
your atrocity, was your own wife, and
the mother Of your child. Instead Of
loving, chsrishing and protecting her
with whom you were bound by what al
good men regard as the hottest tic on
earth, you nursed and cherished your
evil passions until, finally, you brutally
murdered her.
1t is necessary you should be punish
ed that others warned thereby may

crimes. Let me entreat you to bs r.
signed to your fate, and to strive earn
estly during the remainder Of your life
to secure pardon for your sins and trans
gressions, from the great Ruler Of the
| Universe, who is able to save you In the
life that is to come.
1t now only remains for me to per
form the last sad and, to me, painful
duty In your case, which is to pronounce
the Judgment provided for your crime.
1T is that you be confined in the Pen
itentiary of this State at hard labor dur
ing your natural life, and that you nav
the costs of this prosecution.
