A contribution to the literature Of
Spiritualism is made this week in q

An appalling calamity occurred on the
farm os Mr.. Townsend Walter, in West
town township, Chester county, on Fri
day afternoon last. Some workmen.
with one of Mr. Walters sons, were en-.
gagged with carts and oxen in hauling
stone from one of the fields. In the af-
tetnoon they saw a rain storm approach
ing, accompanied with thunder and
lightning As it neared the place young
Walters started with pair of the oxen
for the barn, and tod the men that they

tree until it was struck by lightuing.-
Young Walters was only short distance
off. and although somewhat blinded aud
bewildered by the shock, soon recovered,
and saw that the men had been knocked
down. Going to the tree the clothing OF
the negro was discovered to be on fire -
This was extinguished and the young
man then went for assistance. Some of
the limbs of the tree were dead aud the
lightning had communicated fire to them.
When the parties arrived at the tree, one
of the burning limbs had fallen across
the body of the negro and set fire to his
clothing which were totally consumed.
even to the shoes. and the body crisped
and blistered. presenting horrible sight.
German was burned a little on one thigh
and slightly bruise on the forehead or
nose. The lightning as it descended the
tree appeared to divide. stream OF elec-
tricity running down on the opposite

and German on the other. The latter
appeared to have been leaning againsr

his face, TINS receiving the bruise upon
the forehead. The dead bodies were at
once removed to the buildings of Mr.
Walters. and Deputy Coroner Hibbard
was notified of the occurrence. He i'm
mediately summoned the following gen.

a STRANGE SToRY-Tw0 american
Girls held as Slaees IN BrazH.-The
daughters of Southern planter are now
slaves in Brazil. The planter emisrated
lhither al the close of the war and was
unsuccessful. The Brazilian laws are
such that when citizen becomes in debt,
if he has no property, his children are
sold as slaves, the prices they bring 60
ing to the payment of the obligation.
Our friend, says the Nashville Rcpu6f-
can Banner, when he reached Brazil, I'M
wisely became naturalized and South
American citizen, and subject to the law
thus by his own volition, expatriating
himself from his native country and its
protection. He became Involved in debt
to some Brazilians. His children were
sold as slaves. Thus, his two daughters
now grown Tennessee young ladies, are
slaves. doing menial work for unlettered
masters and mistresses in Brazil, their
price paying devoted but unfortunate
fathers debt The amount of the debt
we understand, is $1,000 in gold, aud
steps have been taken to have the amount

ing good opening in California, he ac-
cepted it and went to that far distant
State. He went alone. leaving his wife
to fix up some affairs which required at
tention. From the time of his discharge
from prison, until he left the city, moth
ing had been done to prosecute him
The case was returned but no bill had
been found. Some five or six months
after he had become settled in his new
home a bill of indictment was found
against him by the Grand Jury, but he
being away. nothing could be done. In
the course of time Mrs Glasby followed
her husband to California. and if re-
ports speak truly, the carpet trouble was
settled between them. aud they lived to-
gether comparatively happy. Finally
and Glasby concluded to again return to
Philadelphia.
A few months since they reached the
city of Brotherly Love and took up their
residence in the northern section. After
residing there few weeks Glasby dis
covered that in the year 1866, about
the time the charge had been made
against him for receiving stolen goods,
his wife. while living at his house, went
with this man Walker-Richard Walker
i. his full name-to Alderman Peer
Hay. and by him was united in the holy
bonds of matrimony to Walker. After
the marriage she returned to her legal
u.band and abided with him. lie having
of course. no knowledge of the transac.
ton. Walker is an Englishman. and it
is alleged that, when he came to this
country. he left behind him wife and
several children. After the departure of
Glasby for California, Walkers family
came to this country and joined him, and
they all took up their residence at West
Chester ...
Upon learning the fact of the marriage
Mr.. Glasby had warrant issued before
Alderman Quirk for the arrest af both
parties upon the charge of bigamy.-
Walker was brought from West Chester
and committed by Alderman Quirk in
default of $1,000 bail. The wife is also
held in the same sum, and hearing will
take place this afternoon. The hearing
was first set for tuesday morning, but
when the time arrived the prosecutor
was absent.
Inquiry developed the fact that he
had been committed to prison on the
previous evening on a bench warrant,
which the friends of his wife had pro-
cured. This bench warrant was issued
on the charge of receiving stolen goods

Indictment was rcsurrected, and upon

A BLOODY TRAGEDY.
A Boy Of Sixteen Murders Companion Of
Thirteen. Money the Cause.

The Somerset Herald Gays: On last
Wednesday evening our town was thrown
into ferver of excitement over the hor-
rible tragedy that had been enacted
about two miles below town. A young
boy named VIM. Shaffer, but better
known as Lord Wellington, shot the old
est son of one of our respectable citizens
james Marshall. Esq who resides about
mile south of this place. On the
morning of Wednesday, the boy known
as Lord Wellington came into the store
OF John f BlymyeI, and seeing some re-
volvers lying on the counter, he imme-
diately inquired the different prices. when
he was told he needn't know, as be did u.
want to purchase. Not 70 be put off in
this manner. he again inquired, when he
was told that they were worth 81 25.
He then threw down Eve dollar bill
took the revolver and purchased seventy
five cents worth OF cartridges and left.
Mr.. Blymyer thinking that he had done
wrong, in few minutes started after the
boy but could not find him.
About six clock in the evening, the
report came to town, that young Marshall
was lying dead, by a bridge near the
residence of Henry Mrtzler. In few
minutes from one to two hundred men
and boys started for The spot. ard found
the report but too true. The boy was
lying on his back, pierced through his
breast by ball, having FIVE barrelled
revolver by his side, with every barrel
charged. A jury was at once impannell
ed. an inquest was held, the verdic. being
that young Marshall had come to his
death by pistol shot from an unknown
hand.
The following facts were afterward
learned, that Lord Wellington had stolen
the five dollars from a laborer ON the
railroad, with which he had purchased
the revolver that he and young Marshall
had been shooting mark the greater part
of the day, and Shaffer confesses that he
demanded of Marshall some money
which he had in possession and that on
refusing he had shot him. The next
morning after the horrible affray Shatfer's
pistol was found in field near by, and
Marshall's pocket book but few yards
further OF. 1t is generally believed that
he killed him for his money, and it is
thought that his original intention was to
shoot Jim Acres, one of the bosses on the
railroad, with whom he had had some
little difficulty.
Young Shatfer is youth of about ak
teen who has been brought up without
having any of those Christian influences
brought to bear upon bin which go so
far to make the character of a youth.
He has scarcely the knowledge of right
or wrong, and to show the total ignor-
ance of the boy, he inquired of the Off
Ger who had him in charge. and while
conveying him to prison, if they would
hang him, for said he, if they will l want
to send for preacher and get religion.
