treatises as are accessible to him, on the subject of lightning and lightning rods. These books agree in one thing, viz. :: That lightning rods properly made. properly put up and properly put down. are means of safety to life and property. Rods con. nected by couplings. making one continu. ous conductor. with good plated or gilt point or points. and instead of two or three feet in sandy ground, at least thirty or forty feet of the rod little under the sur. face of the ground. and if in dry and sandy place, imbedded in charcoal. is the thing needful. Inadequate connection oi lightning rods with the earth is the most common error. A rod however perfect in other particulars, running into bed oi sand. or dry gravel. is as completely insu. lated as if put upon bed of glass, and has no more power than dry stick.-This is not skepticism more prevalent in one place than another. It is common un. belief that should be religiously corrected, Safety to life and church edifices in par. ticular demands it. as part and parcel oi the requirements of the Christian religion
 The foregoing has not been written for the people of any particular church or parish, but for the purpose of calling attention generally to the fact of what the writer be
 lieves to be common danger, arising from lightning rods having very inadequate connection with the earth. A rod to be oi service, should have no small portion of its length under the surface of the ground. and if it be a dry place where it reaches the ground, it should be surrounded with charcoal or other material as good.

skepticism and Lightning.

It was the privilege of the writer to at- tend religious meeting, called confer. encs. in which the Congregational church. es in the southern portion of Litchfield County were represented. and which was held in the Congregational church al Northfeld, the 18th instant. It was to those in attendance apparently meeting of great interest. All present were, nc doubt, believers in the "truth of revela. tion, the divine origin of the Christian re- igion. the being. perfections, and truth of God" The evening before the assembling of this congregation there was severe thunder. storm in the vicinity of these churches. The Congregational church in Harwinton and the Episcopal church in Watertown were struck by the lightning. Little damage. it was said, was done to either edifce. Much gratitude was ex. pressed by the representatives from liar winton for the preservation of their house of worship. All this was well. Now had these men who have SO firm belief in the power of the Christian religion, whose in. terest in this religious meetingwas so man. ifest to all men, had less of skepticism in we'll established truth and science pertain. ing to electricity and lightning, they wonld have given more heed to these things, and not suffered their house of worship to be in the condition in which it unquestiona bly, was before the storm. s.,~
 Skepticism. in relation to we'll establish. ed truth pertaining to science, as we'll a. religion, is inexcusable. The man who puts an unsound harness on his horse, and it fails and the horse takes fright and runs may well be thankful when he escapes un hurt but the more wise and careful man may rejoice in the fact of his preservation from dangers which may be seen and which can be avoided.

 ss R6r An Englishman in Spain sends to the Pal Mall Gazette very gloomy view of the state of affairs under the new king. Amadeo is too. frank, manly and simple. to be really popular. and finds himself thwart. ed in nearly every step hss takes He wanted to stop certain leakggin the dis. bnrsements of the royal household. He was told that the sovereign of Spain ought not to interfere in such matters, and that if. he persisted tbe chief officer of the household must resign. This did not seem to frighten AmadeO but it was sud- denly discovered that the officer in Ques. ton was too prominent a progressista to be. dismissed, and the committee of the party protesting against his being shelved, the whole proceeding was brought to an untimely close. The honorpaid to Mont. pensier is another source Of disquiet, and the result of the elections gives still fur. ther cause for alarm. The real division of parties in the next Cortss has not been re |vealed. The minieteRials journals have be- Titled the strength of the opposition. It is known, however, that catlism has been de- veloped in such way as to leave no doubt that, there has been aTsactioh since tha revolution of 1868 The faCk b 60 notori- ous that already there are spredictions of another revolution, to be followed hy tke restoration of the Prince of Asturias, with Montpensier as regent .emia

Ben Buffers Success as a Divorce Lawyer.
A Washington despatch TO the New York
Herdld says
Some time ago Mrs. Pomeroy, wife of the
somewhat famous Brick" Pemeroy, applied to
Ben Butler to act as her counsel in securing q
divorce from her husband. Butler, of course,
consented. As soon as Brick came to know that
Butler had been employed in the case he directed
his lawyer to compromise the ease by efferin z
to pay Mrs. Pomeroy 920, 600 and 5000 a year.
Upon being informed of this Butler addressed
the following letter to a gentleman in New
York, employed as associate counsel for Mrs.
Pomeroy:-

A SAD SUICIDE.

Remarkable Letter A Heart-brsken
Woman Kills Herself with ChlOrOfOrai.
On Monday morning lady, apparently about
thirty-two years of age, and of handsome feA-
lures, entered the Stevens House. at Broadway
and Morris street, and asked the Office clerk for
a room. She said that she would occupy 1t only
three days, and finally engaged Room No: 4o,
paying in advance. She attracted but little
attention, remaining quietly within during
the following day. About IL o'clock
Yesterday morning, 'the ehambernaid,
upon going TO the room, found that the door
was locked Going 10 the Office, she was told
thai the occupant had the key, and presuniRg
that the lady did not wish to be disturbed, shs
paid no more attention to the room. Late in
The Afternoon the chambermaid returned, and
upon 6ndiug the door still locked informed the
hotel proprietor of the fact. The ofise clerk

TIE ERIE CANAL BREAK.

A Canal BOat with Family ON Board
Carried Across the COuhtry-Damase
DOHe to LRHds-Bridges Swept Away
Business Completely Blocked.
From the Rochester Democrat, Aay1
frst-class break occurred in the Erie Canal
about II o'eloek on Friday night within a mile
and half of Fsirport, at what is kaown ss the
COX Bow" This locality has always been looked
upon with fear and trembling by canal men
generally, and by bOatmen In particular. About
a score Of years ago break of even greater
magnitude than the one of Friday night last
happened near the "Ox Bow" In 1864, we be-
lieye, another break of great importance was
witnessed in this locality, and one age a
small break, which caused q delay of twenty-fOur
hours, was made in the bank not many hundred
rods from the present one. SO 1t may be readily
understood that the "Ox Bow" is just the place
for disasters of this character, Any one who
has inspected this part of the canal can scarcely
fail to be surprised that occurren ces of this
nature have not been more frequent there. The
tow path at this point for a stretch of q quarter
OF mile or more is made ground, and rises to
height of from twenty-five to forty feet. On
one side is "wide-water," or fiat of nearly
twenty acres which is covered with water, having
an average depth of ten feet.
On the west side of the tow-path is meadow
land, which is on level with the bottom of the
basin, and threw which stream OF water passes
downward fron the canal. So having on tue
one side an immense bedy of water, aud on the
other from fifty TO one hundred acres of land
mEeh below the level of the bottom of the ditch,
ID is not at all strange that once ia while this
body Of water would break its way through
the belt of underground called the tow-path,
and sweep everything in its way.
OUTWARD BOUND.
AloEg tswards midnight of Friday the seow
Barney Bird, Captain Terrill, was moving along
the eaEal about 800 feet from the place where
the embAnkment gave way. Suddenly rushing
noise was heard, not unlike that made by rail-
