SHOWER OF STONES.
Great Sensation near Harrisburgh
Ohio-What has Happened Day af-
ter Day.

Correspondence of the Ohio State Journal
HARRIsBURGH, September 17.-The
residence Of j. G. Mundle is located
three miles south of Harrisburgh,
Franklin county. On Wednesday
evening, September 9th, at about 8
O'Clock P. M. Mrs. Mundle heard, as
she supposed, some men talking near
the house, (Mr. NJ. being absent). J.
She stepped out into the yard to see
what it was. In a very short time a
block of wood was thrown into the
house. Supposing it was a gang of
rowdies trying to frighten her, she
armed herself with a shot gun, but
saw no one to shoot at Quite
number of stones were thrown in and
around the house. during the remain
der of the evening. On thursday
large number of stones were thrown
during the day. A number of the
neighbors had collected to witness
these. strange doings, but were un-
able to ascertain the cause.
On Friday it was repeated with
double fury. Mrs. Mundle then sent
for her father, B. F. Renick, who
came to the scene of action. Among
the persons who were B. F. Renick,
S. j. Kuykenkall, George Ridgeway,
Thomas Ridgeway, Richard Walker,
Charles Daley and James Swank.
A sLrict watch was kept, and a
Thorough search was made by armed
men, but all to no purpose. The
bombardment continued all day, and
late into the night. 1t is said that
two hundred stones fell in one hour,
and during this fifty fell in one min
ute. On Saturday morning it was
renewed, and confined until I'm.
In the family of Mundle is a
bound girl, named Orleina Harms,
sixteen years of age and very small
of stature-not larger than a girl of
ten ought to be. 1t was noted all
Through this bombardment nearly
all the stones fell near her. To test
the matter, she was removed to diff
ferent rooms to different buildings.
but the stones continued to fall near
her; in fact, two or three stones
struck her. On Saturday she was
removed from the place, and the
stones ceased to fall at once. She
returned in the evening, and the
throwing commenced Immediately.
She was again removed, with the
same result as before. She returned
home on Sunday, and had scarcely
entered the house when the stones
began TO fall, and have continued to
do so at intervals ever since.
AS Paddy would say, the first one
that fell was a block of wood; anoth-
er was a brickbat, one an Indian
dart, such as Mr.. Lo had one day
used in his arrow; the others were
such as can be picked up on any
stony land along the Darby Creek,
of all shapes and sizes; kinds and
quality from a five ounce up to five
and a quarter pounds. Some of
them nearly ice cold, and some so
hot that they sould scarcely be han
died. Some wet, some dry. Anoth-
er strange feature is that the stones
nearly all alighted without force
enough to hurt anybody, though no
one was hit except the girl, as above
mentioned. So far not the slightest
clue has been obtained as to the Of
all this.
That it all happened there is not
the slightest doubt, for it has been
witnessed by men whose word 1 do
not even feel disposed to doubt.

An anecdote of Lord Chief Justice
Holt is as follows: A poor woman
was arraigned for witchcraft. The
witness deposed that she used q
''spell." The "spelP'-produced in
evidence-Was a line from one Of the
classic poets, written on parchment.
The Justice demanded to see it. and
it was handed to him. How came
you by this?' he asked the prisoner.
"a young gentleman, my Lord, gave
it to me to cure my daughters ague.
"Did it cure her?" 20, yes, my
Lord, and many others" Il am
glad Of it, said the Justice "Gen-
tlemen of the jury, when Twas young
and thoughtless. [ went to this wo-
mans house with some companions,
had no money to pay the reckoning,
and pretended that by a "spell' I
could cure her daughters ague.
She accepted the proposition, and let
ms off scot free. If any one is pun
ishable, it is the Lord Chief Justice,
and not this poor woman" OF
course she was acquitted, but the
credulous multitude affirmed that
the judge and jury we're all bribed.

San Juan Roundarv Line

One OF the most important DoiDts
agreed upon by the Joint High Com
mission in the Treaty Of Wasbin0-
ton, was the settlement Of tbe LONG
disputed question Of the San Juan
boundary line. It win be remem-
bered that the solution of this ques-
ton was left entirely with the En-
peror William Of Germany, whose
decision as arbitrator viii probably
be made public soon. This has
been a mostperplexing question, and
at one time seriously threatened
actual hostilities between the two
Governments. President Grant
wisely decided to submit to the Joint
High Commission all matters in dis
Pate between this country and Great
britain, and shat body decided upon
she mode above indicated for the
SetGlement OF the San Juan trouble.
Ihe island Of san Juan is situated
IN the Haro Archipelago, command
ing the Canal de Haro- the most inn
portant channel of communication
between the Gulf of Georgia and
the Pacific Ocean. It is about sew
enteen miles long and nearly half as
broad as it is long. The conflict
of opinion respecting the boundary
line would seem, at first glance, to
be little singular, since tits so well
described in the treaty of 1916,
which places it "along the 49th par
allel, Of North latitude to the middle
of the channel which separates the
continent from Vancouver's Island.
and then southerly through the mid
die of said channel and Fuea's
Straits to the Pacific Ocean" There
was no trouble about this until some
years after the ratification Of that
treaty, but 1859, duly appointed
Commissioners undertook to run
the line, as described, for the purpose
of fixing it by such survey in man
ner which would fully establish the
meaning and intent Of the treaty.
In running the line, or making the
survey, it was ascertained that there
were two channels instead of one
the Canal de Haro and the Rosario.
This discovery led to a new difs-
Guilty and out of it grew the dispute
which has resulted is so much diplo-
matte correspondence and the Ill
blood which at one time threatened
war. The United States Commis-
sioner, appointed to run the boun-
Diary line, claimed that the Canal de
Haro was the channel referred to in
the treaty, but the British Commits
sioner insisted that it was the ROs-
ario. The Commissioners failing to
agree, the subject was referred to the
two Governments and has been the
subject Of much discussion since
that time. This question derives its
importance chiefly from the fact that
the island of San Juan commands
the Canal de Haro and both Gov
ernments want control oft. Owing
to this disagreement, the island has
been held in joint military oecupa.
ton since 1859. There is really
but comparatively little to be made
or lost in the settlement of this ques-
ton and the people of both Govern
ments must be gratifed with the
prospects of its speedy and perma-
nent settlement.-COmmerciaL
