Mrs. Allio, living about nine miles

the others first companion. They are
natives of France. Have two sons and
one daughter, all living. The oldest, n
son, is living on the farm with his pa
rents. Our informant, VIM. Thomas,
Esq, says they have lived where they
are now, to his certain knowledge, for
thirty-five years. Both are hale and
hearty, and bid fair to be the "oldest
couple" for several years to come. If
anybody knows of an older couple than
this, we would like to hear from them.

CROSSED in LOVE.
A Clergyman AStempts suIcId,

The Oswego papers contain the particulars of
the attempted suicide ia that city of the Rev.
Mr.. Challabacas, a clergyman. He went into a
beer saloon in the Revenue block in that city,
and after drinking several glasses of beer, lay
down upon a lounge. He soon gave signs OF
suffering from the effects of poison, and was
removed to friends house. TWAS ascertained
that he had taken laudanum. Although he re-
ceived every possible medical attention, he
continued in a dangerous condition. He is a
single man, about thirty-fiye years old, and dis
appointment in love affair is the cause of de-
pressed spirits leading TO the attempted suicide.
Frank Thorne, the foolish young man who
received serious injuries in jumping from an
elevator in Buffalo, has nearly recovered; but
he will not be able to make his intended leap at
Niagara. The spirit of useless brayado, which
is illustrated in Thorne, should be discouraged
on every hand; but it will be emulated by silly
fellows SO long as the public delight in witness
ing daring adventures and hair-breadth escapes.
Mrs. Kelley, young married lady, at
tended fire IN Chicagol few nights since, and
was shot by some person in the crowd. Her
friends think that the bullet was intended for
somebody else which is quite consoling theory.
Springfield, Mass, was left in total dark
ness few nights since in consequence oil a diffe-
renee between the Common Council and the Gas
Company, growing out of demand for redue-
ticn in price.

KILLED By LIGHTNING.
Mysterious Death S6 a Prominent UItIzOu o

"Ss'or'o"S De"sn Y,ht,nm.,s ~ r""'"o"' O"tncn OF
The painful accident in Bloomington, Illinois,
by which well-known citizen of that place was
killed by lightning whilst asleep, with his wife
by his side, has been reported by telegraph.
The PGntogrdph gives the following details of
this distressing affair."
The brief announcement in these columns on
Saturday morning of the sudden death of w.
III. Hanna, by lightning, during the night pre-
vious, was to hundreds of readers most sud.
den and terrible shock. The details OF the fatal
accident are in some degreefmysterious and In
explicable, and must always SO remain, or at
least until the laws which control the move
ments of the electric fluid are more fully under
stood.
The first of the series of showers which fell
duripgt that night had passed, and about IL
o'clock another arose, accompanied by an extra
ordinary electrical phenomenon, the clouds in the
south and west being almost constantly illu-
mined with the flashes and darts of lightning,
although with not very much thunder. An oc-
casional crash, however, was heard. lMr. Hanna
and his wife had retired, and were sleeping with
a window, moi far from the bed, raised two or
three inches. While it is impossible to state
with certainty exactly in what way the bolt en-
tered or departed from the room, yet the gene
raj view is that it entered at the slightly opened
window. Not far from this stands large tree,
with decayed limb bearing in the direction,
and this tree and limb give some very slight
of the bed also has little mark. The only
mark upon the body of Mr.. Hanna is one above
the shoulder, or rather upon the chest, neither
breaking or abrading the skin.
There is no noticeable mark upon the cloth
ing, or elsewhere in the room. The theory of
some lie that the fluid leaped from the decayed
limb of the tree through the window, just strik-
ing the head of the bed, then causing the mark
upon Mr.. Hanna's neck, and passing from the
body at the other mark, leaping from thence to
the gas fixture, and thus finding escape to the
earth below
However this may be, it is certain that in its
course that little dart of lightning fulfilled its
fearful mission. Mrs. Hanna was for a few mo-
ments stunned by the stroke, but soon recovered
and sent for physician. No human aid, how
ever, could revive the injured man, and after
the physician arrived he breathed heavily few
times, and all was still.
Some of the most important cases in the law
practice of the West have been conducted by
Mr.. Hanna, and at the time of his death he had
in his hands the management of a number of
cases in which great interests were involved
He was universally conceded to be one of the
clearest headed, hardest working, most tho
rough, and ndhonestlawyers of this or any other bar

HORRiD AFFAIR,
TRAGEDY Near Conneilsy yiIle-A Human Being
Ouarfered.

Mr.. William H. Peabody, justice of the peace
at Connellsville Pa, writes of a horrible murder
committed about thirteen miles from that place,
and not far from the Pennsylvania and Mary
land line. The body was found about twenty
five rods from the highway, hanging in a tree,
dressed like dressed hog, being quartered, the
quarters hanging, but the carcass being putrid.
0apers. @ @ by which il is evident that the name of
the deceased was Francis Bosom; that he had
lived in Syracuse, and in Broome county, in this
State, and in Michigan, probably Hillsdale; that
he had been in the patent-right business, but
latterly was a detective, in which capacity he
was supposed to be engaged at the time of his
murder. 1t is believed he was murdered by
a gang of horse thieves infesting that region of
country.
Binghamton and Detroit papers are requested
to mention the case, with view to apprising
relatives, wherever they may be.

A LUSUS NATURE.
Astonishing Doings Lin Utah-A Shower OF
Lizards.

The Utah Reporter says On Saturday even
ing our town was visited by the first rain which
has fallen for three months. IG seemed, since
the LIST of May, that the ''dry season" of the
early years had returned, and that we were
again to have summers without drop of rain.
The rain however, though grateful and well
come, was not much of a surprise; but con-
nected with it was phenomenon without pre-
cedent in this section, unexplained by any of
our philosophers, nothing more nor less than
shower of water-lizards. Over all the western
part of the town, particularly around the Opera
House, they were found in great numbers and
of evegy length from two to eight inches.
In looking over the-ground to-day we found
number already quite dried up; and we note
with surprise that there is SO little substance in
them as to leave nothing more than mere
fallen on Judge Spicer's premises. His cellar,
lately dug, previously dry as powder-house,
contained several inches of water literally alive
with these singular creatures. The Judge
fished up some forty of the largest ones, and
now has them alive in water-tank near his
house, where the curious may inspect them. On
examination we found them to have boneless
limbs, and bodies very soft and 'mushy;" they
are quite lively in the water, but soon get dry,
dull, and inactive when laid out on the ground.
They more nearly resemble the reptile known
in the Northwest as the "mud-puppy" than
any other we have seen. Their color is a dull
brown, with bright spots, and their general
makeup in other respects places them in
the Siredom class. The usual theory of "toad-
showers" is that the numerous toads seen after
a sudden rain were really in the ground and
were drawn out by the moisture; but that ex-
PLANTATION is cut off in this case by two facts:
First. That these are clearly water reptiles and
die in few minutes on dry land Second. The
ground has been so hard and dry that soft
bodied reptiles could not have penetrated it.
The walls of Judge Spicer's cellar on Satur-
day afternoon were as solid aim It as a brick
wall. Another singular fact is th4G numbers of
the reptiles were found in the rain barrel, where
they could not have crawled. One gentleman
informs us that he counted two hundred in a
small puddle on Colorado street. We noticed
the dried remains of one which was seven inches
in length vet would not weigh an ounce. We
give merely the facts, and so far are without
any theory on the matter. But our local saoans
are busy, and by tomorrow we shall doubtless
have dozen explanations.
