The gas issuing from rock crevices on the
Western line of Pennsylvania, along the
Ohio River. has been ignited by some of
the inhabitants, and travellers passing at
night see huge flames jetting out here and
there. The effect is said to be both sublime
and startling. The more superstitious peo-
pie of the surrounding country think the
flames the beginning of the final confagra-
tion.

the discretion of its clerks, confider.ially

which if true would have created a
panic at the Bonrse. In an hour or two the
false report was spread all through the
street. The house is understood not to put
much confidence in the secretiyeness of its
clerks.

HE MarveIs of Chemical Expansion
and Contraction - Astonishing EX-
pIOfIs with Ropes and Rings.
From the New York Sun, Aug. Is.
The Davenports are eclipsed by
two young men who have been in
troduced here by the spirits, Mr..
Harry Bsstian, of Brooklyn, aged
twenty years, and Mr.. Dewitt G.
Hough, Of Hartford, CT, aged sew
enteen. MIR. Hough's family recent
ly moved to this city, and took up
temporary residence with Mr.. and
Mrs. ID. G. Taylor, of No. 23S West
Thirty-first street, where private
seance was held last evening. Be
sides the we'll known tricks of the
Davenport spirits, and the bell
ringing and guitar playing, there
were other manifestations last night
which had never been given in
public. The public will have an
opportunity tonight, however, to
witness for themselves the same
and more wonderful exploits. For
instance, there lay on the table four
solid iron rings, about a quarter Of
an inch thick, and in diameter re-
rspectively p, 8, 81, and 81 inches.
The young men were as thoroughly
tied as a committee Of gentlemen
could tie them, hands andfeet, and,
the light having been extingushed,
the three larger rings were passed
over the tied wrists and arms, one
after another, and pushed up over
the elbows. The smaller ring,
which could not possibly pass over
the hand of the young man, was In
one minute, by a process not well
understood, placed upon his wrist.
His hand measured 81 inches across,
The young mans wrists were
again tied with cotton cloth, which
was also sewed TO his shirt sleeves
in such a manner as to make a
loop over each wrist, besides the
loop that united both hands. The
small ring was again passed Over
she left hand and wrist without In
terfering with the sewing or tying
One of two things was absolutely
required TO accomplish this feat
either the expansion of the solid
ring an inch and half, or the elon
gation or reduction in size by SOM
process, Of the mediums hands
The latter could hardly have beel
done, and spirits informed tn
Suns reporter that the feat wa
done by chemical expansion an
contraction. +"

n divorced Coupte En0pe and are Mar
ried the second Time
From the New Haven Palladium. Aus. IA.
About.twelve months ago. Rich
ard White, whose relatives live il
Bradley street, led to the hymenia
altar, before a large number o.
friends, Miss Jennie Cuttings, o.
Lafayette street. Richard had been
generally regarded as gay Lotha.
rio, to the sorrow of his relatives,
and the marriage took place in op-
position to the wishes of the BRIDE
friends; but strong love had seems
ingly bound its silken cord firmly
around him, and, for six or
eight months it is said, he lived
happily with the charming woman,
who, notwithstanding the reports
Dame Rumor had whispered in her
ears, had consented to be his wife.
But at the end of that period q
change had come over the spirit of
her dreams. For some reasons,
hitherto kept secret, the once hap
Ply wife determined to sever
the ties which bound them
together. In Connecticut it
ls-luckily for mismated couples
easy to obtain a divorce, and some
three months ago the court decreed
them no longer man and wife. The
lady returned to her friends and
the gay Richard returned to the
pursuits which he had followed in
his bachelorhood. 1t is understood
that Mrs. Whites relatives were
mainly instrumental in securing
the separation, and that her consent
was only obtained after continued,
persistent urging on their part. 1t
is easy to separate the bodies, but
TO divorce two loving hearts is
quite a different matter. After
their separation it would seem that
only till then did they know how
strong had been their affection for
each other. By degrees they be-
came intimate as of yore, INDUCING
in the same moonlight walks and
passing through a second court
ship as earnestly as they did
the first. A second marriage
was talked of, but the lady's
friends interposed the strongest OPP
position, and positively refused
their consent. Richards friends
were willing, and a little more.
Finding that nothing could be
done, they concluded to take the
matter into their own hands, firmly
believing that cruel, hard hearted
fathers and mothers have no right
TO keep asunder two hearts which
Cupid had firmly united. On
Thursday night they took the
steamer Continental for New York,
and those who knew Of the affair in
its incipiency are confident that
they were remarked yesterday.
The young man is about twenty
three years Of age and the lady
about twenty. They are both very
respectfully connected, and their
best friends hope their second
search for welded bliss may be
more successful than the first.
