AN ELECTRICAL INFANT.l

The "Memorial de la Loire" respectable
French journal, gives the following details on the
subject Of an infant presenting the most remarka-
BILE electrical phenomena ever yet reported:
We are not surprised to learn that there will be
given to the Imperial Academy OF Medicine, or
Paris, an elaborate and intelligent eommunlca-
tion OF DIR. C***, Of Lyons, who, with two others,
went to st. Ursula and had the scientific satislsc
tion OF Witnessing the dying agones, for the child
is unhappiy dead, Of the poor little surerer:
1t would seem that the last moments Oh tne
electrical infant presented some truly astonishing
phenomena. For nearly TWO weeks Delole ~ ~
death electrical lights manifested themselves with
q vvldness that confounded the sclentinc men,
who "only saw fire,n according to the not very
respectful language OF our correspondent
No one could occupy the space around the era

strong enough to knock down all who approached
1t. Two cats and dog, boarders In the house,
were compelled to leave. This state OF things was
aggravated from day to day, and from horr 70
hour, until the termination OF the malady, which
occurred on the Sth OF November, at halfpast II
In the evening.
The infant expired without the least pain or
convulslon sweetly, In perfect repose, anu as II
1t sank to sleep; while the furniture and occu-
pants OF the room were seized with an indescr1h-
able agitation.
At the last moment the emanations or light
from the body Of the dying child became three
times more intense than they had ever been seen
before and lasted for several minutes after DEATH
All who were present. do not except the physi-
clans, went away deeply impressed by the strange
spectacle Of which they had been the witnesses.
1t Is not known, at least to the public OF what
disease the child died. DR.. C*t" will perhaps tell
us In his paper.
The scientific men, OF course, desired to take
away the body for examination. But the reia-
tlons were violently opposed to this, and the In.
terment took place in the burial ground OF the
village with the usual rites and ceremonies.
For instance the hair OF the wonderful cnld
was cut or close to the head, and divided among
the relatives and friends. II will prove power
ful talisman, one might suppose, against many
evils.

dent In conclusion, II the scamps OF the neighoor
hood should make 1t subject Of speculation.

Prom the Augusta Chronicle, Of Friday.l
AT q late hour last evening we received in
telligence Of bloody ARRAY AZ Edge1eld Court
house, South Carolina, which, II true, reveals a
most terrible state OF affairs existing In that place.
private party who arrived here yesterday lrom
the courthouse brought information OF the affair.
He states that on last Wednesday John Robin
sons Circus Company arrived In the village Ter
the purpose OF giving two exhibitions, anu that
an immense crowd OF white men and negroes hau
come In from the surrounding country 10 witness
the performances. On Wednesday night the can
vas was crowded, as were also the tents In which
were the ugglers, sw0rd-BwaowerS, and the
"creat natural curiosites" which usually accom-
pany these caravans aud are denomlnated "slde-
shows"
1t was in one OF the side shows that the row Is
said to have originated, though In what manner
we were unable TO learn. AT all events, pistols
were drawn on both sides and freely used. BE-
fore the diniculty coald be stopped, the scalawag
clerk OF the Superior Court was shot and instantly
killed. and another white man, unknown, was SO
fearluly beaten IN the head with the but OF q re-
yoyer by some one OF his adVerSares, that lis
wounds proved mortal and he died during the
night.
As II to put the finishing touch to this carnival
of blood, our same informant states that OH that
night the negro militia, who have beer ON duty
ut Edgeicld Courthouse for some time past, ar
rested a white citizen Of the county, on charge
OF being rebel bushwhacker, aud in revenge,
they said for the murder OF negroes by the whites,
gave him speedy trial and executed him by
hanging him 10 q tree in the village.
The story appears almost too monstrotls for be-
lief and VIC should hesitate TO publish 1t were II
not for the extremely unsettled condition OF fallairs
In Edgcneld County, and the belief which has
been entertained for some time past that blood
shed would sooner or later be tile result. The
affair has probably been exaggerated, out we We
cannot help thinking that there Is good deal or
truth in it, when we consider the course ~hlch
has been pursued in that county by the
Radicals for some time past. Negro militia
men have been quartered In the village
now for several MONTHS and we believe that they
were sent there by the miserable carpet-baGger
Governor and political incendary, Scott, for no
other purpose than to bring on collision Win
the white people. The white men there, in order
to ballle his expectation and wishes, have taken
much in silence from these armed negroes, and
the latter, emboldencd by what they deem the
cowardce OF the whites, have perhaps dared 10
do what our informant stated. If they have, woe
be unto them, for we do not believe that the
Edgeneld people will submit TO snch an outrage,
and if they do rise in their might they will sweep
SCOTS militia from the face of the earth.
