6 JOnathan.o

The English journals report the case of a
miller who was recently tried on the charge
ofhaving in his possession sixty-three sacks
of an article supposed to be sawdust, for
the adulteration of meal This particular
substance, it was proved, is called "Jona-
than," and for the last fifteen years has
been extensively used by millers to mix
with Indian and barley meal. An analyti-
cal chemist, having examined the article,
stated that it consisted entirely of fibre, re-
sembling calcined and ground oat husks,
and that the proportion of nutritious mat
ter did not amount to one i'll two thousand
parts. The defence contended that the
article not being sawdust, but being the
husks of oats, was not "foreign sub
stance" within the meaning of the act of
Parliament which forbade such adultera-
tions. The Court, however, held that
Jonathan" was not a legal ingredient of
meal, and imposed the prescribed penalty
for its use. ...

GB- During the thunderstorm on the I'd
inst, the farm house Of Henry Hoy, in
East Brunswick township, Schuyll1ill coun-
ty was struck by lightning and considera-
bly, damaged. The fluid struck the light
ming rod and ran down, passing through
the stone basement wall into the kitchen,
where it played sad havoc with things in
general. Mr. Hoy was in the upper part of
the building, and escaped injury. Upon
hearing the report he ran down and found
the members of his family lying insensible
upon the floor, and Immediately applied
water freely, which soon revived them.
The electric fluid passed out through the
kitchen door into the garden, leaving dis
tinct visible marks of destruction in it's
course-withering every green thing for
some distance around. The escape of the
family from instant DEATH and the house
from burning, is considered miraculous.
This is the most destructive freak of light
ming we have been called upon to record
this season.

One Cent For n Kiss.

Daniel Harvey, of Barnet, VT, claimed
that Joseph Whitcher had insulted his sis

manded an apology, which Whitcher deny
ing the insult, refused to make. Upon
this Harvey gave Whitcher a smart beating,
for which he was fined $sS 80. Then Har-
vey's sister sued Whitcher for the attempt
ed kissing, and recovered one cent damages.

A phenomenon in the OIl Reglons.

The Titusville Courier of the 9th ult.,
gives the following interesting particulars
of the Newton well on the Nelson farm, six
miles north of that city: 1t has been down
about twenty days, has continuously pour
ed forth such a volume of gas that it was
found impossible to pump it, as the valves
would not work. The tubing was pulled
on Wednesday, and the well was cased
in order to let the gass blow off, so that it
might be pumped. After the casing was
put in, the sand pump was lowered for the
purpose of agitating the well and the gas
raised column of water, throwing solid
stream into the air hundred feet. The
noise was something like the loud roar of
thunder, and when the column burst at the
top it threw the water each way fifteen
rods from the well. The noise around
sounds like the rushing of a whirlwind-
The column can be seen mile from the
well. No tools can be put into the WELL
AS soon as the attempt is made, with such
force does the gas come out, that the tools
are carried into the air From descriptions
of eye witnesses, this is probably the great
est oil well ever struck in the oil regions.
Up to date the gas showed no signs of
being exhausted. The people in that vi
cinity are very much alarmed, and the
cattle run about the fields perfectly wild
with fright.

cs- About five years ago Miss Eliza Hite,
now about twenty-three years of age, re-
siding on Bedford street, in Cumberland,
Mo, lost the power of speech entirely,
from the effects of cold, and had not, up
to Sunday last uttered word since. The
skill of the best medical advisers of that
city and Baltimore was obtained by her
distressed parents, but all in vain, and all
hopes of restoration were given up.
Sunday morning she was retur ming from
church, and was thinking of a particular
tune sung by the choir at the service, when
she found herself unconsciously humming
it, She was greatly astonished to hear
sounds issuing from her lips, but proceeded
to make other experiments, and found that
she could speak.
