The peculiar auroral display of Mon

Cincinnati Enquirer of the same date
The display which we mentioned tool

time mentioned by the Enquirer:
About eight o'clock last evening there
was a magnificent display Of northern
lights, different in many respects IRON
usual exhibitions of this character. First
bright, red, hame-like shaft shot up IN
the northeast TO the hight of about forty
FIVE degrees, which presently faded en-
tirely away. Soon afterward another
shaft of exactly similar appearance rose
in the northwest, reaching nearly TO the
zenith, which also disappeared almost
Immediately, lea ing the heavens as dark
! as before. After a brief interval both o.
these crimson columns rose again simul'
taneously, shooting up nearly TO the
zenith, Of the same brilliant, blood-red
color, and between them, almost directly
under the north star, appeared shaft o.
clear, white light, like long iron blade
heated to a white heat. This lasted moi
more than a minute, and when il van
ished no signs of illumination were TO be
seen, except sickly white light extend
ing along the northern horizon, for, per
haps, forty or fifty degrees.
This alternate flushing and fading
continued for about an hour, when
another pillar of fame appeared little
TO the south Of east, which rapidly shot
up until it united overhead with the
column in the northwest. making a per
feet arch spanning the entire heavens

The PeopIe,s Business Exchauee.

4 gentleman, a few days since, stepped
into our office and paid 81 for the CHRoN-
IcLE. While 50 doing he remarked-"I
have been taking and reading foreign
and literary papers, but they don't fill
the bill. want a home business paper,
that reflects in its news and advertising
columns the activities of every day lie
in town and county," His estimate of this
feature of the home paper is eminently
proper; for, as the Hartford COurdnt re-
marks, the newspaper is the real ex-
change. Everybody goes to it with all
his wants, and almost all his woes. The
consequence is that the sheets are as
lively as neighborhood gossip, and often
the pages devoted to advertising are the
best parts of tho paper. And the papers
are read through. The announcements
are always short, and one looks at them
TO see what the world has to offer him
that day, by way of business or amuse-
ment. Somebody, somewhere announ-
ces something that interests you every
day, and so life is made more endurable,
trade is quickened, and wants are sup
piled. We look to see a more general
use of the advertising columns of news
papers in this country for all the wants
and queries of life.

S- Mrs. Lincoln, who is now and
has been for some time in Europe, hav-
ing recently sent a application to Con-
gress for additional pecuniary aid, the
House responded by granting her, by a
vote of y to 81, a life annuity of $1,000.
The Senate Committee on Pensions, after
inquiring into the necessity of her case,
and the propriety of granting the de-
mand, concluded it could not justly re-
port favorable TO her claim. The evil
denee showed that since her husbands
death she has been foolishly e~xtravagant,
expecting, no doubt, that the national
treasury would always replenish her
~squandered resources. 1t might reason
ably be expected that a woman who had
occupied her station, would shrink from
continually placing herself in the hu-
initiating position of a national pauper,
especially after having been well pro-
vided for. Perhaps a judicious tighten
ing of Uncle Sans purse strings may
have a salutary effect on her extravagant
i%nclinations.

parties who got up the row on Saturday

smacked their ponderous fists, were
Democrats. That the disorder and con-

readers in old Trumbull, 1 will give you
a few items. We have had very dry,
warm weather the past three weeks.
Rain is very much needed here at pres
ent. There is n large quantity of grain
being sown here this Spring, consider
ing the low prices OF last years crop.
Quite a number of people have left this
Spring to look for that famous 'out
West where the turkeys run roasted
with a fork stuck in their breast" Some
have gone TO California, some TO Ne
brssks, Iowa and Minnesota. The peo-
pie of Platteville are ebOut to have COM
munication with the outside world, by
rail. The railroad was built within
eight miles of here last Spring. The
people think the snort of the iron horse
will be heard here by the first Of June.
The Editor of the Grant County Witness
hes promised us an excursion ride on
the Fourth Of July. Real estate has
advanced twenty-five per cent. here
within a few weeks, on account OF the
prospect of the railroad being built to

Richmond State House DisaSter---200
Persons Killed and Wounded.

RICHMOND, Va, April 27.-The Court
of Appeals of Virginia was crowded this
morning with eminent citizens, many
local politicians and a great many of the
public at large, drawn there by curiosity
to hear the decision upon the question OF
mayoralty. Among the many promi-
nent men present were Ex-Governor
Wells, Ex-Congressman Nelson, Judge
John a. Meredith, Patrick II. Aylett,
L. II. Chandler, and others.
AT IL O'Clock the gallery of the court
room. which was crowded, fell in. The
floor followed, and descended thirty feet
TO the floor below, which was the floor
of the House of Delegates of Virginia,
on which some few of the members of a
caucu were waiting. There was a gem
eral crash of timbers and falling of the
inside wall. There were fifty nine per-
sons killed, among whom were a num-
Der of prominent citizens of Richmond.
There were one hundred and twenty
persons severly wounded. Directly
after the disaster the fire alarm was used
and the hook andladder companies of the
city repaired to the rescue. A Gordon OF
police was drawn around the building
and ladders were thrown up to the win
dows. For three hours the scene was
full of horror. Minute after minute
there appeared, swung out by a rope
tied around the middle of the body some
popular favorite, who, after being swung
on the shoulders ofone OfIhe fire brigade,
mangled and dead, were brought down
the ladder to the green of the public
park, where it was instantly surround
ed by two or three thousand of those who
had gathered to recognize the slain.
The park was filed with weeping women
and anxious men until two o'clock,
when the last victim wa drawn from
the building. After this the police clos
ed the park and refused admittance to
any one. The bodies of the dead having
been sent out, all the stores in he city
were closed and placards put upon the
doors, "Closedi in consequence OF the dis
aster at the capitol" No business
was done during the day. Tonight
meetings will be held by members of the
press association, late military organiZa-
lions, the bar, and citizens generally.
Tomorrow will be Observed as a day of
general mourning.
