THE THUNDER BOLT.
Marrow Escape.
A Dwelling Shattered.

Yesterday afternoon about two o'clock
or city was visited by several heavy thun-
der shocks, the discharges being sharp and
the lightning bright and keen. John Ho-
rams frame house located on north Sum-
mersstreet beyond Monroe, was struck by
the lightning, which tore off the roof, light
ming rod and shattered the chimney. Mr..
Richard Wilson who was standing in the
portico was knocked insensible, as were Mr..
Fred Laitenberger, who was bathing his
feet and sitting in the door, and William
Laitenberger his son. 1t was several min
utes before the parties revived and were
conscious of the danger they had escaped.
Mr.. Wilson says he saw a quick gleam
bright ~ gas jet and heard report; he
thought some one bad shot him with a
pistol.
Mr.. Fred Laitenberger's hair was
scorched badly, and his horse standing
about twenty yards distance became fright
ened and ran away with wagon, upsetting
it over an embankment and breaking one of
the wheels. A street car conductor, whose
car was passing about forty yards distant,
made a narrow and miraculous escape.
The lightning struck his watch, breaking
the crystal and deranging the machinery so
that it is worthless, yet strange to say the
fluid glanced off without harming his person
or any thing else. How he made this es-
cape we cannot tell; surely he must be
non conductor. A plum tree near the above
house was struck, and scattered in ali d.
rections.
During the storm two trees in Edgefeld
were shattered by the lightning.

Arrested for RfgamH.

The Jackson Wing and Tribune men,
tons the arrest in that place of a man by
the name of Wedver, upon the charge of
bigamy. The wife of Wedver was a Miss
Mollie Sharp, and married Wedver at Lib
erty, KY, some three months ago, against
her fathers wishes. Before the marriage,
rumors were circulated that Wedver had a
wife in California, and hence the violent
opposition of the girls father, John Sharp,
to the match. However, Wedver wrote to
California and got certificate of good
character from four or five persons, certi-
fed to before County Court Clerk, Which
satisfied the artless young girl of her suit
or's innocence, and they were married.
WedVer claims to be but ~ years of age,
but looks to be nearer forty. He is man
of medium size, black hair, eyes and NOUS
Lache and dark complexion. She is seven
teen years old, fair complexion, light hair,
blue eyes and very beautiful. Since his ar
rest Wedver has exhibited great nervous
ness, and seems to be in deadly fear Of
Sharp, the father of the beautiful victim of
his lust. Whether the charge is wholly true
or not, can only be determined on the ar
rival of Sharp, but it is certain that strong
grounds exist for the charge and arrest.
Wedver protests his innocence, but is evil
IDENTIFY alarmed. The innocent girl is to be
pitied indeed, for if the charges be true, the
rosy dreams and beautiful hopes of her
young life are blasted forever.

SIMPLICITY IN DRESS,

The crown princess of Prussia, and a
large number of the noble ladies' of the Ger
man imperial court, are said to have formed
league of discourage extravaganza in dress,
by wearing plain but neat attire, and abb
staining as much as possible from all vain
and frivolous display. This princess is the
daughter of Queen Victoria of England,
who has shown so marked distaste for the
pomp and display of court ceremonies, and
who has been repeatedly berated by the
London Times for not performing what
that Journal calls the duties of her position.
that is, holding regular court levees, and
giving a centre TO London fashion and
gaiety. But no denunciation or unpopu-
larity has been potent enough to move her
from her purpose.
Her daughter, tine crown princess of
Prussia, wife of hero and heiress of an
imperial crown, is worthy of so eminent a
mother. She, too, has no taste for the
frippery OF mere dress display. The
French empire wasted Itself away on mere
extravaganza. So wild and foolish did this
mania for luxurious display become in
Paris that many of the court ladies did not
attempt to pay the extravagant bills they in
CURED; they merely paid interest on the
principal. The empress herself set the ex-
ample, and was, without any exception, the
most extravagant woman that has been in
high position in Europe for generations
p lst.
The good example thus set in Germany
ought to have an influence elsewhere, though
we very much fear it will not. IL is not the
first time in history that it has occurred.
During the glorious career of the Venetian
the ruling power sought to arrest |
the spread of luxury and excavation
by the rich commerce
with Asia, by prohibiting ladies ap-
pearing in public in any other dress than |
black. The gondolas, which had !
been extravagant in decorations, were also |
ordered to be all plain and painted black.
[t seems odd to find simplicity patronized |
BY an imperial court like that of Germany, |
1Tt the Germans are peculiar race, and /
nave always managed to preserve the !!
strength of their national character against
he inroads of luxury. In the present in
tance, the whole policy of the government
GEMS to be looking to prudent provision
gainst possible trouble.

The lSreaf Race.

The reception of the news yesterday of
Longfellow's victory, occasioned considera,
ole excitement, and as general thing great
rejoicing. While Bassett was the favorite
among the knowing ones, the sympathies
Of the majority were with LongfelIow, who
were loud-spoken in his praise, and were to
be seen on street corners in groups discus
sing his merits and commenting upon his
brilliant achievement in which he has routed
''horse, foot and dragon" an animal which
for some time past has moved around from
place to place the King of the Turf. The
betting here was about 500 to $50 on
Bassett, and such offers we may remark
were freely taken. No race of late years
has created so much talk, and we send our
greetings TO Kentucky over the result that
has added new laurels to her racing stock.

Murder!

Last night intelligence reached police
headquarters that a woman had been
murdered near the Medical College. Up
on investigating the affair it was found that
endeavored to violate her person. After
struggling with the field some time he
snatched the Woman's bonnet and ran off
with it. Being almost beside herself with
fright the woman shouted murder, which
being heard by an old gentleman near by
so alarmed him that he lost no time in
running to the stationhouse to communi-
cate the horrid intelligence. Meeting two
policemen Cd Church street the officers
went out to investigate the mystery. The
six ward policemen had already repaired to
the spot of the supposed murder and ascer
tanned the cause of the alarm.

SeIniranafic,

We clip the following from the jackson
Wig and Tribune, June %:
On Friday night last, between 8 and 10
O'Clock, a handsome young woman with
drawn pistol, was observed escorting a
young man up Main street. She said that
the young man had insulted her, and that
she had arrested him, and was looking for
the police. After walking her captive
around for time, she turned him over
to party of gentlemen to guard,
while she continued her search. No soon
er, however, was she out of sight, than the
aforesaid captive proceededto exhibit high
degree of speed, and when she returned be
was beyond reasonable pursuit. The fair
Semiramis was very indignant at his escape
and was rather more vigorous than compli-
mentary of the genClemen with whom she
had left him. That young man will scarce
ly forget during the whole course of his
natural life that twilight promenade, and

A Beautiful Sight.

Whilst sitting with Rev. j. o. Sullivan in
his room at Madison College, at Spring
Creek, on Wednesday evening last, he
pointed out of the west window and called
our attention to one of the most beautiful
mirages we ever beheld. 1t was a beauti-
full amphitheatre, apparently two or three
miles off, and presented one of the most gor-
geously beautiful pictures our eyes ever be-
held. 1t consisted of transfer of forest,
field and stream from earth to sky, in a
most distinct and beautiful form, looking
so like picture oflife that it required an
effort of the mind to realize that it was not
a real picture. The hour was about sunset.
The above is from the Jackson Wing and
Tribune, June %. Did the author ever
see any other mirage, except when looking
in glass. He ought to visit Mammoth

The Spirit of Robertson county.

When the lurid flash of the lightning had
faded from the thunder-robed clouds of the
heavens, and the thunder-peals had echoed
no more in the distant sky, a jug of huge
size came to our office, and on it was this
card: sample of sixty barrels of the cele-
brated brand of Stark & II lizard, pure sour
mash Robertson county whisky, made in the
spring of 1862" This is the last made by
these gentlemen, and was presented us by
W. 7. Linck, of this city. 1t certainly is
the best we have ever tasted, and like old
memories, it is superior and pleasant to all
others because it came from a period when
there existed more purity than in later
days. 1t sutfices TO calm one spirit so
shortly terrified by the thunderstorm.

ERITniGh

A gentleman at Fulton recently caught
three young rabbits, and thinking to furnish
his mouser with a dainty meal, gave them
to her to eat. To his surprise, however,
instead of devouring them on the spot the
motherly old cat has taken the little stran-
gers to her heart and home, and has been
nursing them for the past ten days with all
the tenderness that she shows her own Off
spring. She keeps them in the nest with
her five little kittens, and never fails to give
them full share of nourishment.-Ripley
