from the retired lane in which themselves
and their accomplishments had been bur-
led; and they blazoned and they whiz-

nest Of squibs and devils in a firework.
And the Giblets arrayed themselves in
scarlet and in fine linen, and seated them
seves in high places, but nobody noticed
them except to honor them with little
contempt. The Giblets made prodig-
ious splash in their own opinion, but no.
body extolled them except the tailors and
mi!Iiners who had been employed in man.

In this borough, on Tuesday, the lth inst,
Emily, wife of Morris Smiley, aged 81 years
and 70 DAYS
In the death of Mrs. Smiley, we have lost
from our midst useful citizen, and good wo-
man. She was daughter of the late Michael
Brown, and was married to Wm. Coolbaugh
about the year1840 Mr. Coolbaugh met with
a terrible accident, by being caught and
manged in machinery, some years since, which
when his time and life were most valuable TO
his family. He died universally respected,
and his death spread gloom over om whole
community. subsequently the deceased mar
ried Morris Smiley. She has raised family
OF children who are useful citizens. AS a
mother she had no superior; as citizen
among us no one can leave our midst more
universally regretted. For several months
she has been confined by sickness, which she
bore without mGrmur, and with christian
iortltude; always willing to submit to the will
OF her Heavenly Father in whom she put her
trusts In her sickness she was constantly sur
rounded by loving family, and communi-
ty OF devoted friends, all trying to administer
TO her comfort, and relieve her pains, but in
vain for her recovery. She has gone, may we
strive to travel the road to her Redeemer.
The relatives and friends of the family are
requested to attend her funeral, this Thursday
morning. at 10 o'clock, at the house. Services

MRS. FAIRS CASE.
The nIurderess in Court Again-A Re
spite.

From he San Francisco Chronicle, jugs
The case Of Laura D. Fair, upon mo-
ton for new trial. came up III the RI
teenth District Court yesterday afternoon,
upon further proofs and affidayits than
those already presented. Mr. Cook took.
the ground, and argued at some length
that the presence of the defendant was
unnecessary, claiming that the statute
did not require it Mr. Campbell admit
ted that this might be true, but that there
was doubt, aud in case of such import
auce as this he was inclined to have the
prisoner present whenever any important
step was taken in this place. and that, as
in the present case, it would be no hard
ship. Mr. Cook replied that it would
not only be hardship, but even cruel,
to subject the prisoner TO the ordeal OF
being brought to the court room and tax
en- back, followed by the curious crowd,
who constantly annoyed her.
The Court stated that If it could con
suit its own feelings in the matter he
would not order Mrs Fair. to be brought
from the Jail, bu; as there was some doubt
as to the propriety of hearing the motion
in her absence he thought it would be
safer to do SO. An order was therefore
entered requiring the deputy sheriff tc
bring Mrs Fair to the court room. Al,
ter recess, Deputy Sheriff Cough ar
rived from the Jail, bringing with hin
the prisoner, Mrs Fair, accompanied By
Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Hiby. They rode
to the court room in closely eurtainel
carriage, the deputy sheriff, occupying
seat with the driver, But few person;
being aware Of the proceedings, only {
few witnessed the affair. The prisone,
was dressed in her customary suit Of black
: and beyond look ofpaleness, the uatura
result of close confinement, presente'
about the same general appearance as OF
, the trial. During arguments she remain
ed veiled aud passive, making no demon
strations aud taking apparently but
/, languid interest in the matter.
The afidavits presented in support 0
the motion relate to the jurors Beach au'
, Littlefeld. A large number of them re
fer to Beach's expressions while he wa
at Truckee, after the shooting Of Critten
: den. They tend to corroborate the al
fidavits already published in the "Chroui
: CAL" One of them, in reference to Little
- field, alleges that he, in reply to ques
ton whether Mrs. Fair had obtained
new trial, said :-"No, she has been sen
: fenced to be hung on the 28th of July
d-n her" and expressed the wish tha
she might suffer in hell two thousau
0 years. Judge Campbell and Elisha Coo
made lengthy arguments on the subjects
l. aud at their close the Court oyerruied th
: motion. The prisoner, accompanied b
g her friends, was taken to the Jail. a
g the Supreme Court will not consider tn
b appeal until the October term, aud tn
: prisoner is to be executed on the 2Sth G
4 July, it viii be necessary to obtain re
e spite until after that time.

narrow Escspe.-On Thursday las

EarrGyy EsCape.-On Thursday last,
as Mr.. Philip Adler and his brother, young
gentlemen from Brooklyn, New York, visit
ing friends in this place, was enjoying a
boat ride, on the pool of NVallace's MiIl-dam,
the boat got the better of them and took a
sheer towards the breast of the dam. Not
being good sailors, and becoming scared with
all, they lost control Of the craft, and found
themselves threatened with shipwreck.
The brother, thinking discretion the better
part Of valor, took to the water and managed
TO wade to shore. Philip stuck to the boat,
and took dancing ride over the dam. The
fall was some eight feet, and ere Philip
knew what he was about he found himself
toundering III very rough and deep water
and, being unable to swim, In danger Of
drowning. But for the opportune arrival
of assistance he would certainly have met
with watery grave He made very mar.
row escape.

JERSEY LIGHTNING FLASHES.
Strange Phenomenon--AHO Horse Surround
ed by Fire--Narrow Escape from Death

Strange ? Phenonlenon--AH Horse Surround
ed by Fire--NarroW Escape from Death.
On the morning Of the Sd the inmates
of house situated on the top of a hill.
known as the Park Fo' Il Property, were
suddenly started from their sleep by a
loud crash as if the building had been
shattered to its base To their horror
and amazemeut they saw the house sur
rounded by what appeared TO them liquid
fame Escape seemed impossible, and
the fright of the inmates was increased
by the noise of falling stones, and the
drift Of burning ashes. Frantic rushes
were made to escape from the house, un,
der the impression that it was burning
and would soon be heap ofruins. When
the excitement was at its highest, how
ever, the body of fame was noticed to
move off in the direction of wire, fence,
where it set fire to a large quilt and double
blanket. In paessing across the inter
mediate space the fame struck tree,
blasting it. Leaving the wire fence, to
the astonishment of the beholders, who
were now somewhat recovered from their
fright, it travelled along the ground a re-
gular pillar of fire, and, encounteFing q
huge oak tree on its passage, wreathed IL
self around it in thousand fantastic
shapes, completely stripping off the bark
and splitting in two the solid trunk
When the first shock was felt the INN ates
for few seconds were completely paralyz-
ed, and only reused from their prostration
by the dread of a fiery death. As soon,
however, as it was discovered that the
house was not on fire, and it became evi
dent that the phenomenon they had wit.
messed was entirely due to electrical dis
turbance, they became conscious of cruel
burning sensation in their frames and
severe palpitation Of the heart. 1t would
be impossible to describe the feeling oi
acute suffering which succeeded to the
first moments of terror. Sitting hot all
filled the house, which seemed to burn
up the throat and nostrils when inhaled
and produce something of the effect OF
the simeon lii the desert. Fortunately
the flame and heated air passed away IN 9
few minutes or the result might have been
fatal Indeed, the people OF the house,
4
who SO miraculously ly escaped, attribute
their safety to the attraction of the wire
fence which goes all round the house and
had the effect of turning off a large vol
ume of the lightning flame in its advance
towards the house. As it was, where the
fame struck the piazza it passed quite
through, charring the timbers and tear
ing up the planks, which were scattered
to distance. The house stands in
triangular location, and the distance from
the back of the house to the oak tree up
on which the lightning flame expended
the full force of its fury is about one hun
dred feet. The galvanized wire fence
which encloses the grounds exhibits signs
of having been red hot, and in some places
completely burned away in the intense
heat of the lightning fame. Fortuuately
heavy fall of rain came down immediate
ly after the pillar of flame had passeC
aud completely extinguished TIE incplen
fire in the charred timbers.
