Since the advent of warm weather
this year, there has been an unusual
number of accidents BY lightning.
Many of these have been noticed in the
city papers, and many others only in the
provincial journals. They have served
to attract attention, in consequence of
their number, and the extraordinary
character of some of them, to the cleo
trical phenomena of thunder storms !;
and they have illustrated, quite remark.
ably, the ignorance of many persons
upon this subject. Some singular ac-
cidents have occurred. But a short
time ago a locomotive upon one Of the
New Jersey railroads was struck by
lightning. The metal probably at
tracted the electric fluid. Near Orange,
in the same State, a house upon which
there was q conductor, was struck dur
ing a heavy shower. The lightning en-
tered by the window, and killed a per-
son who was near it. Very recently, a
man who was swimming in the creek
near Hunters Point was struck and iu-
stantly killed. About two weeks ago, a
house in Moriches, l.. l., was struck
by lightning in the middle of the night;
the wife Of the farmer who owned it
was killed, while he, who was sleeping
beside her, remained unharmed. 1t
ia important for people to under
stand that there is danger in ex-
posing themselves to thunder storms ;
for a large proportion of accidents
arise from unnecessary and careless
exposure. Almost all metallic sub
stances are good conductors Of electrici-
,y, aud consequently it is dangerous to
carry such articles as a hoe, a spade, or
pitchfork, when out in a thunder
shower. A few days ago a laborer in
Greenwood cemetery was struck by
lightning, which was attracted by q
shovel he was carrying on his shoulder.
He was killed. Lightning is also at.
tfacted by q rapid current Of air and
hence it is unsafe to allow q draught
through the windows and doors of a
house during a thunder storm. Many
persons have lost their lives through
neglect in reference to this. New
mown hay seems particularly to attract
lightning, and barns just filled with it
are often struck. 1t is always safer for
persons at work in such barns to leave
them on the approach of q thunder
shower. A man was killed by lightning
while riding on a load of hay at Roches-
ter, n. Y, last week. Several accidents,
but not very serious in their results,
have also occurred this summer in our
own State. One happened in lower

caves of house, passing 10 the ground

From the st. Louis Times, August sth.1
The Everett House on Friday after
noon was tho scene, one phase at least,
OF q romance in real life, which though,
quietly enacted, and affecting only the
parties to the transaction, Is Of sufi-
cient interest to find its way into the
papers. The details of divorce suits,
in many instances too vile to be made
public, draw largely upon the space Of
the duly journals, but it is very sell
dom that we are called upon to recount
any further acts in the drama. Free

were shown to q room, tho gentleman
returned to the Office and expressed q
desire that q clergyman should be sent
for to unite them in marriage. The
clerks were somewhat surprised OF the
request, inasmuch rs the couple were
registered as uan and wife, whereupon
an explanation was volunteered. 1t
appears that a little more than seven
years ago they were lawfully married,
the only issue of their union being n
bright eyed and pretty little girl of Ave

Lord Byron,s Last Days.

In parting with Lord Byron IT IS some
relief to cast q glimpse Of light upon a
very dark picture. Though he continued
to breathe bitter words against Lady
Noel down to the time Of her death, yet
for three years before his WI death he
seems to have ceased IA single instance
excepted) to write or speak unkindly
of his wife. The first four Of the
eighth stanzss of his last beautiful
verses suggest that the unholy bonds
which had held him were loosed. In
the record of the last 10 days of his life
the lady from whom he had parted at
Genoa is not named. In the intervals
of Inconsistencies his thoughts turned
to her whom he had wronged.
On the day that he sailed from Genoa
toward Greece he regretted that he had
not first gone to England. "Why did |
not 20 home before I came here ~ On
the same day, when he knew that he was
diving. he was most anxious to make
Fletcher, his old servant, understand
his last wishes. The servant asked
whether be should bring pen and paper
to take down his words. "Oh, no."
no said, ait is now nearly over. Go to
nv sister-tell her. Go to Lady
Byron; you win see her, and say.
His voice faltered, and he continued to
mutter to himself for nearly 20 minutes
with much earnestness, concluding,
"Now I have told you ALL" "My
Lord" said Fletcher, "I have not un.
derstood a word you have been saying
" Not understood me?" said Byron,
with a look Of the utmost distress.
What a pity! Then it is too late; all is

Fletcher; "but the Lords will be DONE"
eyes, not mine," he said, and tried to
utter a few words, of which all were
inarticulate except, "my sister, my
child" He was most unhappy In the
choice Of a biographer. Mr.. Moore was
unable to perceive the injury that no
inflicted upon Lord Byron in giving a
fixed h%abitation to his changing fancies
Of anger and remorse without repent
snce or the danger which, in the very
whirlwind of his passion, he had
always avoided, of enforcing Lady
Byron to break silence. If Sir Walter
Scott, who was emphatically a man,
could have undertaken tho task, he
would not have called up his friend to
tell from the grave, with joyous voice,
the foul seusuality of Venice; be would
not have collected darts, which lay
scattered abroad and harmless, to pierce
a woman's heart. Such were not the
messages which the husband, If God
had given him u~tterance, Would have
sent from his death-bed. II is difficult
to believe that Moore had not personal
resentment against Lady Byron, and as
difficult to understand how the utmost
degree of resentment could persuade
any man to insult any woman so

SENSATION IN TIL SPIRIT WORLD.

from the South.
from the Albany Knickerbockcr, August 81
A short time since a Spiritualist from
the South arrived in this city. He made
an investigation into the workings OF
his faith in this community, and was
soon conyersaut with its ms aud outs,
and also who were the loading splr'
its I" of the town. He was stopping Mt
one of our frst-class hotels for q long
time-long enough to become acquaint'
I'd with some Of the prominent Spiritual
lists of Albany. So intimate became
his relations with the Albany Spiritual.
lists that he finally left the hotel where
he vas stopping, and took up his aooue
with q family Of Spirituaiists away up
town. For a few weeks past this house
has been the rendezvous Of q host OF
mediums, through whose agency things
most astounding were developed.
Among other events which transpired
was tho fact that the Southern
stranger was a devout and earnest wor-
shipper ut the shrino Of Spiritual
ism. He was proclaimed ono Of the
chosen few among earthly mortals des-
tined to live and dwell with the happy
spirits of the other world. Night after
night were the c0nclaves Of the me-
diums at the house referred TO made nj
prcssiyc and startling by the demon
STATIONS of unseen hands. The sweet
notes of music were distinctly heard on
instruments rs they whirled about the
room, over the heads OF the assembled
group, while lights resembling bril-
liant meteors passed through the dark
ness. Consultations with the spirits
were had through mediums, during one
of which the Southern gentleman was
stated 10 DO wealthy. He acknowledged
the fact, thereby more thoroughly dem
onstrating the beauty Of the creed 10
all disbelieying minds. These things
continued until one day last week, when
the Southern gentleman died, and was
mysteriously buried. The latter portion
Of the programme was in opposition TO
the sacred rites of the Church. This is
what created such a sensation among
the spirits of tho other world. The
mediums on earth became indignant,
| and the transaction has been made pub
lie. Coroner Mulligan has been notified
and is abont to investigate the cause.
If he believes that any wrong has been
committed, he will cause the body TO be
cxhumed, and a post mortem examine
ton made. We patiently await the re-
s,1k.

lowing political prediction II one

lican party in Virginia headed by Bald
win, Stuart, Rives, Wiekam, Tourney,
Edmunds, Chandler and others, with
the Richmond Wig, n paper which has
proved itself the most farsighted and
powerful political journal in the South,
for its organ, and a Democratic or OPP
position party, with Wise, Hunter,
Guild and others, represented by the
Enquirer, the ablest exponent OF those
old ideas which those who wish Virginia
well can never desire to see obtain the
a~scendauey again. There are two les
sons in this election that may be studied
with prof, by the men Of Mississippi
and Texas. First the rights Of the white

the reconstructed States are hereafter
to be run by pew men, and the old ones
laid aside.
