KILLED BY L1GHTNISG.-The following
extraordinary case occurred on the last
Monday in June, in Monroe, Ark, in
which Mr.. J. S. Turrentine, a hard-work-
ing farmer of that county, was killed.
He and r. S. Baxter, his brother-in-law,
sought shelter from the storm in an old
clubhouse, and Turrentine whilst sitting
leaning against the wall was struck by
the subtle fluid. Baxter was also
shocked, but was not seriously injured.
On recovering his senses the following
extraordinary colloquy occurred: Bax-
ter asked Turrentiae IL he was hprt2
The answer was, yes, am killed-did
you hear the gum Andhe never spoke
again. Death had claimed its victim.

KosKoo. This medicine is rapidly
gaining the confidence of the people, and
the numerous testimonials of its virtues,
given by practitioners of medicines,
leave no doubt that it is a safe and re-
liable remedy for IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD,
that speaks in hig terms of its curative
properties, and give a special recon-
mendation of Koskoo to the practitioners
of medicine. This u.s. we believe, the first
instance where such medicines have been
officially Endorsed by the faculty of any
of the medical colleges, and reflects great
credit upon the skill of DR. Lawrence,
its eompounder, and also puts Koskoo"
in the VAN of all other medicines of the
present day.-Fron, the Norfolk Daily
Journal, December IL, 1869. 2-f

As CLEAR AS MUD-The local reporter

The reason why so many discrepancies
appear in thermometrical reports is the
various Situations of the thermometers,
from which observations are taken.
This certainly is demonstrable. If the
thermometer is suspended in warm
place, the mercury will rise, and if in a
cool exposure it will as certainly be de-
pressed, 1t may be said of the theory,

BAIL ALLOWED. = At the examining
trial of Myra Day for the murder of
Banks, the prosecution rested upon the
establishment of the killing, and the de-
tense waived the examination of wit,
nesses, but asked that the accused should
be admitted to bail, as no malice was
proved in the premises beyond the mere
homicide. Esquire Hall was Of the opin-
ion that it was n case of murder in the
second degree, and required $4,000
bonds, which will probably be given.

LARGEST CoTT0N BoLL.-We were
shown this morning by one of the firm
of H. o. Williams q Co., the enterpris-
ing cotton factors, No PCS Front Row,
a cotton boil at least two-thirds grown.
This was the farthest advanced of any
boil we have seen this season, and speaks
well for the culture of the field from
which it was taken. What is truly re-
markable, this advanced cotton sample
did not come from South of us, as may
have been anticipated, but from Mr. W,
P. Hale, who has one hundred and
twenty-five acres in cultivation, ninety
miles above here in Mississippi county,
Arkansas, near the town Of 0ceola.
Beat this if You can, any of your In

himself was u prisoner ofwar in tho hands
Of the Pnssians, was first received in
tllIs city in the shape Of a dispatch from
AISG WILLIAM 10 the Queen, about ten
o'clock Saturday morning. The news
quickly spread throughout the city, and
created much excitement, and we need
hardly add the greatest joy among our
German friends. The Kings dispatch, with
subsequent combinations, was bulletined
IN front Of the 1NTEMEaENCER Office,
and during all the rest Of the day there
was a throng OF people around the bulle-
I'm board. A few cautious individuals
feared a hoax, but there was o general
expression Of confidence in tho news, be-
cause it came from the King, whose dis.
patches it was said had always proven
IFue. There were still some who didn't
believe the news on general principles,
because it didn't suit them. These were
generally Of the Democratic persuasion.

cepted it in confidence, and tesu.
