''Sir, and so fortll-"Why, yes; the thing is

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE ACCOUNT
ED FORA SKELETON DIscovERED.-The
Oberlin, Ohio, Neps, of the 5tb, gives the
particulars of the discovery of skeleton in
a pasture near that village. A young man,
named Sutliff, had gone to the lot after his
COW, and at the south si,le, under the hedge
fence, saw what appeared to him bundle
of rags. His curiosity became excited, and
on closer examination he discovered it to be
q ghastly skeleton. Near by, Mr.. CASTOR
was at WORK and Sutliff called to him. Gas
ton went to town and collected number of
persons, who'went out to see IT any could
identify the clothing. Mr.. Snyder. was one
OF the party, and as soon as he saw the re-
mains he recognized the boots, coat and hat
as those worn by Rolin Woodbury.. Wood
bury was a blacksmith by trade, and last
summer worked for Snyder. About the lat
ter part of-August, Woodbury. got on q
drunken spree, and ono day be suddenly
disappeared. The NOR ring he was last
seen he borrowed dollar, which it is sup
posed he invested in whiskey. His wife,
who lives in Spencer, Medina county, made
thorough inquiry, but could learn nothing
of him. Woodbury. had been talking oi
going to California, and it was thought he
might have gone there.
The finding of the body suggests the idea
that Woodbury. had invested the borrowed
dollar in whiskey and in his drunken stupol
wandered to the pasture Geld, where he laid
down to sleep off the effects of his debauch
from which sleep lie never awoke. At the
side of the body was found q broken whis
key bottle; this told the story. For ovel
eight maa1hs the body remained there. The
flesh had entirely rotted from the bone
leaving nothing but the ghastly frame GOV
cred with rags. The grass had grown over
and concealed 1T, So that only by mert
chance was the discovery made.

NEW EaITIoNs OF THE BIDLE.-An cdi-
tion win bon be published in England, CON-
iainil,s b gffp cdifmon text, unaltered,
but with 5marginal readings approved by
the editos 5, said to be some df the most
learned ticologians in England.
This will be very great advantage for
the understanding of the Book of Books.
The marginal references will contain cOrrec-
tions of al the defects in our translation,
and these. especially in the Old Testament,
are sometimes very important. These amend
cd rcnderihgs of the Greek and Hebrew de
pend upon morc profound scholarship of
modern times, as also upon the results of the
discoveries of travellers who have illustrated
points in regard T., the geography, natural
history and customs of the East-sources of
information closed to our torefathers. 81
There Will also be another edition, which
will contain not onlysall the advantages of
the one above mentioned, but it will also be
divided into paragraphs according to the
connection of the argument or the nara
ton. The old division of chapter and verse,
which now 50 absurdly obscures the mean.
ino of the Word of God, will bc retained,
only in the margin, and thus will be re
moved the chief impeachment to the under
standing of the Bible. 1t is 4 wonder that
such a durkcner of its meaning should have
been so long allowed to exist. 1t is proba
ble that there will bc after awhile u revision
of the present translation, in which without
touching the body of the language of the
same. whose fidelity, strength, and beauty
are inimitable, the marginal glossaries will
be substituted for the present imperfect rem
derings of the originals. For various rca-
sons this cannot he done now. as we had
expected :; but the next hest thing to it can
he accomplished, namely; the necessary ex.
planation can be added in the margin, and
the very injurious divisions into chapter and
verse can be done away with.

DEATH OF AN ODDITY.-" Aunt Lana"
was colored woman, well known to our
citizens by reason of her amusing oddities.
For years she has labored under the haluci-
nation that the property of the city belong
ed of right to her, and many and amusing
are the freaks related of the old woman
while in pursuit of this idea and endeavor-
ing to possess property holders of its truth
and justice. Though unsuccessful in this,
she nevertheless managed to secure sup
port, for rather than be subjected to her i'm
portunities our citizens would generally dis
miss her with gift of some kind. 4.
"Lena will never annoy the good peo-
pie Of Newbern more, for she died, on Tues
day morning last, at her domicilc on the
outskirts of the city. The disease which
terminated her existence is unknown to us.

Freaks of Lightning in Shenandoah.

On last Wednesday about O'Clock, P. NJ,
a cloud, rather dark, passed over our town,
throwing light shower of rain and a con-
siderable quantity of small hail, attended
with no storm. A current of atmospheric
electricity came in contact with long stove
pipe, passing from the stove on the lower
floor through the comb or roof (there was
fire in the stove at the time) of Mr.. j.
Schweinford's pottershop, producing an ex-
plosion. The lightning seems TO have fol-
lowhd the stove pipe, and thence to the
foo the building, portion of it burst
ing lcnt through the pianks, and passing
out .e1gh the foundation or both sides of
the Hiding; the other seems to have fol-
lowcd'th planks of the floor, breaking to
pieces several hundred crocks.
There were three persons in the building
at the time, Mr.. Schwcinford, Jacob Fans
Ter and colored boy, but fortunately, they
escaped better than could have been expect
ed. under the circumstances. Scllweinford,
had drawn his bouts, and was standing in
his socks, and escaped unhurt, except the
effects of the shock. His boots, lying ON
tho Aesr = fs,y feet from, h;..: --..s sr., 40
pieces. Fans1er was SO severely stunned as
to fall 20 the floor senseless for few mo-
ments; the sole of one of his boots was
burstcl about half off; the free use of his
leg was destroyed for a short time. The
colorcd hoy was struck down senseless; his
boots were burstcd into pieers-the sole of
one of them was torn entiHely off, and the
upper leather of both was rent in every d.
rection. He received slight cuts and bruises
about his face, body and feet, caused, we
presume, hy the pieces of rock which SEEM
ed to f1y in that direction, He was rather
badly hurt, hut not seriously.
Mr. Geo. Roscnbargcr and Mr.. ". Bread
love were standing in. blacksmith shop
about 200 feet distant, at the time. The
former was knocked down by the effects of
the explosion, and the latter somewhat
stunned Neither Of them were injured.
Several workmcn were engaged in plaster
ing a building upwards of 400 yards dis
tant. One of them, Mr.. Michael Splitter,
having his trowel up, the lightning playing
upon it so stunned him that he would have
fallen had he not been caught and support
ed by the other workmen. His arm was
somewhat lamed. In fact, different indi.
viduals, in different parts of the town, were
more or less affected by the shock. But we
have reason to be thankful that no one was
seriously injured.
Perhaps it would lie prudent to take down
long stove pipes this season of the year, or
at least to have no fire in the stoves, with
pipes passing through the roofs, in time of
thunder storm.
