been ordered through the agency here.
chiefly by citizens and planters along

pertinent. IF the present inattentlon

will occupy most Of the posts OF labor
on the coast. Being accustomed to the

FEARFUL DEATH BY LIGHTNING
A terrible calamity occurred in the town
Of Caldwell, NJ, on Sun lay evening
last, the particulars Of which are given
BY the New York Times as follows:
ga young man named Stephen Pierce
was walking home from the Methodist
Episcopal church, in company with a
young lady, when they were overraken
by violent storm, which was preceded
and accompanied by thunder and light
ming. The entire village was suddenly
Illuminated with un intense light, and
Pierce and his, companion fell to the
ground. The lady Was stunned, but she
soon recovered and screamed for help.
When help arrived nothing was found
or the young man who had accompanied
I.er but manglcd remains. His bo,.ts
were stripped from his feet, his limbs
were severed and laeerated, and the
features were not recognizable by those
who had known him in life. The uhfortu-
nate young man is said to be the third
of his family who have lost their lives
by the same cause"

FOR THE JOURNAL.


Mrs. HARRIET BEEcHER STOWE has
created quito sensation by a recent
publication, in which she has given to
the public, an explanation of the long
shrouded mystcry-the cause of the
separation of Lord and Lady Byron
She states that the cause was the dis.
covcry by Lady Byron Of criminal
intimacy Of Byron, with his hayfsfste',
and Mrs. S gives as her authority, Lady
B., the facts having been detailed to
her by the Lady herself.
1t seems passing strange: that such a
statement should have been reserved
until so late day, to be divulged to the
author ef"Uucle Toms Cabin"-when
the fact, or the rcmotest reference to it,
if given years ago, would have removed
no little obliquity from the name of
Lady Byron, for thesc were many who
believed that the Lady herself, was, in
some degree at least, the cause of the
cstrangement. .. ..u.
Had such cause existed, or the sem.
blance of it, rumor, with her thousand
tongues, would have given some inkling
of it to the world, at the time Of their
separation, the crime could not have
been kept from all but Lady Byron,
more especially when it is asserted that
the child was for considerable time
under the eye of Lady B., and at Pc
Rod when the taste for scandal, in all
that related to Lord Byron, was rife in
the circles which surrounded the par
ties-it would have been too sweet q
morsel to roll under their tongues
About the period of their separation,
Lord Byron was in great pecuniary en-
barrassments, and their end was daily
anticipated. 1t appears from Lady B's
own statement, that he had requested
her to leave London at the earliest mo-
mcnt-very probable that she might be
saved the unplcasantncss of the culmina-
tion-as she flu rnishes no reason for the
request, the inference is legitimate-es-
pecially SO, as their correspondence im-
mediately after she left London, was of
the most friendly character. She states,
however, that the Impression had been
forced upon her that Lord Byron was
bordering on insanity "a condition that
many have been brought to, under cor
respondiugpecuniary circumstances.) So
strong was the impression made on her
mind, that she called in DR.. Baillie for
advice, desiring him to see Lord Byron,
and give her his opinion. Dr. Baillie,
with lawyer, DR.. Lushiugton, accord
ingly called on him. .
Of the visit of the Doctors, Byron
says: 81 thought their questions SIN
gular, frivolous, and somewhat impcrtu-
nate, if not impertinent." The exami-
nation ended in "Dr Baillie not being
able to make him out certificate for
Bedlam." He cxonerates Lady Byron
from being privy to the Transaction
There is no reference to any high crime
or misdemeanor made by Lady B., at the
time of the leaving, OF in her letters
after arriving at her fathers house,
"thcy had parted in the utmost kind
