Remarkable lightning Freaks.

A singular escape from death by light
ming is related by the Albany EUeninq
Journal which says that the house of John
Henderson, at Shodack Landing, was
struck early in the evening" while it con-
tanned fourteen persons, the electricity
passing down the stove pipe, bursting out
at each side, and exploding within two
feet of Mr.. Henderson, thence passing be-
tween him and his wife, who was holding
her youngest child, throwing her forward
some distance. The electricity then struck
on each side of closed door, stripping off
the plaster, scattering it over eight chill
dren in that room, splitting a three-by-four
inch joist, and plowing up the ground four
feet at the extremity, leaving hole in the
ground. The light was extinguished, leav-
ing strange sulphurous smell and smoke
behind. The screams of the family were
appalling. Upon light being procured,
Mr.. Henderson naturally expected to see
some of his family dead, but none of them
seemed to be seriously injured. The three
eldest daughters, who We're in room
above, rushed down, and it was perceived
that one Of them shook as though under
the effects of strong galvanic shock,
trembling from head to foot. Upon Mrs.
Henderson taking hold of her, the electrici-
ty seemed to pass to the mother, leaving
her paralyzed down the left side, from the
effects of which she has not yet entirely
recovered

State Elections.

Thirty-two States hold elections between
August 1st, and November 9th, 1871, and
Of these many are important, not only as a
good indication of the Presidential vote
next year, but because in Kentucky, Cali
fornia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Mary
land, Wisconsin, and Vermont the legisla-
lures chosen will elect United States Sena-
tors whose terms Of Office begin with the
organization of the Forty-third Congress
in 1878. The Senators now representing
these States, whose terms of Office end
with the Forty-second Congress, are =
Davis of Kentucky, Cole of California,
Sherman, of Ohio, Cameron of Pennsyl-
vania, Harlan of Iowa, Vickers of Mary
land, Howe of Wisconsin, and Morrill, of
Vermont-all Republicans except Davis.

An Absurd Bet.

Such an absurd case has just been deci-
ded in London. One Mr.. Hampden made q
bet with man named Wallace that the
earth was fiat, and that he would prove it;
the other being also required to prove his
opinion of the rotundity of our sphere by
experiments. The decision being left to
an umpire who, unfortunately for Mr.
Hampton, was of sound mind, was given
against his theory, and he had to hand ov er
his stakes of $500.
Whether the parting with his money, or
the damage done his scientific reputation,
was the cause of the ebulition, know not,
but Mr.. Hampden let his temper run away
with his prudence SO far that it carried
him into court to answer charge of libel,
brought against him by Mr. Wallace, who
was decreed the handsome sum of 5000
damages. .a..... .....
This mulcting has only increased the ire
of the unhappy gentleman, who now de-
clares he will prove the truth of the char
ges he alleges against Mr.. Wallace, as we'll
as his ignorance in the first assertion. ex-
pect to see all Mr.. Hampden's property
melted away into damages for libel, in
creasing in sum every time as the allega-
tions become more violent

Tragedy in New York.

About five o'clock, on the morning of
the 23th inst, an officer of the Eighteenth
precinct was alarmed by the cry of "mur-
der'' proceeding from No. 415 East Fif-
teenth ST., and on going thither found two
lads in the basement, gazing horror-strick-
en- into a room in the rear, and staunching
the blood which flowed from their hands.
The officer found the corpses of Felix
and Helen Dorsey in the rear room, and
the boys said that their father came home
that night intoxicated, but went out again
and returned about o'clock in the morn
ing. He quarrelled with his wife, when he
seized a knife, and cut her throat from
ear to ear. He then attempted to cut the
throats of the boys, who, however, avoided
him, hiding beneath bed, from which they
saw him seat himself and deliberately cut
his own throat, and then fall corpse. The
boys, aftera time, gave the alarm, but too
late to do any good.

A Husband nnd Mlfa Suffocnted.

On the 10th inst, a sad accident occurred
at Bear Gap, seven miles north of Mt. Cam
el, by which man and wife lost their lives.
1t appears that the man, William Smith,
was sinking well on his place, and on go
ing down in the well in the morning he
was overcome by the white damp that had
collected at the bottom of the we'll. His
wife, who was standing near by, saw
that he could not getu without assistance,
and she proceeded down into the well, and
was also suffocated with her husband

A Husband Rendered desperate.

An outraged husband at Cheyenne,
Wyoming Territory, where female suffrage
and the political and social appurtenances
pertaining thereto are recognized, denoun-
oes the female jury business and offers a
pertinent scrap from his domestic history.
His wife was summoned and empanneled
as juror in an important case. When night
husband applied to the court to have his
wife sent home, as there were several small
children there requiring her attention-the
smallest in fact being in starving con-
dition, owing to the fact that it had not
been habituated to the use of the bottle.
But the husbands request was denied.
The Judge said the jury could not be sepa-
rated. The husband then requested per-
mission to send the infant to the mother.
This was also refused, on the ground that
the law does not permit thirteenth person
in jury room, and there is no statute to
show that an infant in arms is not ''person"
within the intent and meaning of the law.
The desperate husband then attempted
to induce the court to Sc nd all the Jurors to
his house for the night but the effort was
a failure, and the husband was informed
that quarters had been provided his wife
at the hotel and if he wished to speak to
her for moment he would have to take
the place of the cook. The husband went
home. How he got through the night is
not told but when he learned the next day
that the trial was likely to last a week, he
straightway proceeded to employ the best
looking housekeeper and cook in the
county. At last accounts his wife was still
ON the jury.

Two Hundred skeletons Found.

On Wednesday last Rev. Nathaniel War
dell, Messrs. Orin Wardell, of Toronto, and
Daniel Fredenburg, were digging on the
farm of the latter gentleman, which is on
the banks of the Grand river in Cayuga
twp, Canada. When they got to five or
six feet below the surface strange sight
met them. Piled in layers, one upon top
of the other, some two hundred skeletons of
human beings, nearly perfect--around the
neck of each one being a string of beads.
There were also deposited in this pit a
number of axes and skimmers made of
stone. In the jaws of several of the skel-
etons were large stone pipes, one of which
Mr.. o. Wardell took with him to Toronto
a day or two after this Golgotha was un-
earthed. .U..It lr .t.
These skeletons are those of men of gil
gantic stature, some of them measuring
nine feet, very few of them being less than
seven feet Some of the thigh bones were
found to be at least half foot longer than
those at present known, and one of the
skulls being axamined completely covered
the head Of an ordinary person. These
skeletons are supposed to be those of a
race of people anterior to the Indians.
Some three years ago the bones Of a masto-
don were found imbedded in the earth
about six miles from this spot. The pit and
its ghastly occupants are now open to the
view of any who may wish to make visit
there.

Curious Discovery.

The Boulder Ne'oS, of Colorado, an
nounces that the Rev. Mr.. Van valken-
burg, in sinking a shaft near Erie, of said
Territory, found the impression of palm
leaves four feet long at almost every foot
he descended. He also discovered petri-
fed lemon of perfect formation. In lime
ledge near Boulder City, are petrified cocoa
nuts in large numbers. Besides, the re-
markable coal treasures, SO feet in thick
ness, all evidently ofvegetable origin, point
Enthusiastically to the fact that these were
produced by the same influences now found
in tropical regions.

President Judge.

The people Of Perry county, with great
humanity, ..have insisted upon Hon. b. F.
Junkin, allowing his name to be used as a
candidate for President Judge of this judi
cial district, and his having complied with
the request, is guarantee of his election,
should Juniata-as no doubt she will-,join
in this nomination.
We are glad to see such action taken, as
it is high time that Perry county asserted
her claims to this office. ....
1t is very generally admitted that the
Judiciary should be removed as far as pos
sible from the influence of political strife !;
and we therefore have no doubt that the
local pride Of our citizens will induce many
to cast aside all partizan prejudice, and
support for this Office a candidate from their
own county.
Very many citizens of Cumberland, also
acknowledge that the Office is Justly due
some other portion of the district, (Car-
Isle having filled the Office for about sew
enty years. and will consequently disre-
gard political preference, and support a
candidate from Perry.
In this case, our citizens can without
hesitation, ask them so to act, as in pre-
senting the name Of Mr.. Junkin, they offer
a candidate who will not only fill the posi-
tion with credit to himself, but who will
reflect honor on the county, that for near
ly fifty years has claimed him as resi-
dent. In regard to the merits of the pOlit-
zeal nominees of either party, The Times, as
a non-partizan journal, will express no
opinion but in advocating the election of
Perry county's candidate for President
Judge, we think we are not only promoting
the honor of the county, but speak the
wish of many of our citizens, irrespective
of party.

EB- A curious case is reported from
Michigan. A stranger, who drank glass
of liquor in saloon, offered a 500 note in
payment. The seller, unable to break it,
went into a neighbors for change. The
latter took the bill, gave him $40, and said
800 would just settle the account he had
against him. The liquor-seler protested,
the creditor was immoveable. Finally the
former went out and tried to borrow the 800
in order to pay the customer his change,
and the latter meantime, worried by the
delay and suspicious as to its cause, sent an
officer to arrest him for embezzement.

Wreck OF n Steamer.

The smack Ida Mary arrived at Newport
on the 22d inst, with wrecked materials,
including part of pilot-house, with the
word Wyoming" painted on it; an ex-
tension table, life preserver, ETC., from the
wreck of steamer sunk about three miles
off shore. Two mast heads are out of the
water. She is a large vessel with side
wheels, and appears to have been blownup
by powder or steam. The revenue cutter
Moccasin proceeds at once to the wreck.
