of the affair. Some of these persons were
summoned as gnilty, and the others only
as witnesses but, with frightful want Of
tact, he omitted to make the distinction,
and left the impression upon the minds of
pie whom he named had been reading and
lending the abominable books. As the per-
sons in the catalogue belonged to the most
respectable families in the town, this error
created widespread CONSERVATION. and gave
the deepest offense.
And this was but the beginning of mis-
chief. 4 theological controversy arose,
which, after six years ever-ceasing bitter
ness, led to his being compelled to resign
his position, to abandon his pleasant home,
to give up his salary. and accept the hum

The fauaily was so poor that Mr.. Edwards
was obliged to write. his notes and essays
upon the covers of letters, upon the margins
of pamphlets, and upon the remnants OF
paper left from the cuttings of the fans.
The house is still standing in Stockbridge

From this house, too. it was that Esther
Edwards, one. Of these Industrious and taste

Edwards was the grandmother of Col. Aaron

This marriage had important consequen-

to the election of Jonathan Edwards to the
Presidency of the college. But scarcely

From the Saline (Mo) Progress.l
Remarkable Coincllence-

During the late war, in tie battle which
was fought near Kenesaw. mountain. tile
First Ohio cavalry made clarge upon some
Confederate troops, which brought on hand
to-hand conflict between tie two commands.
In the shock of battle two soldiers, a little
separated from their courades. locked sa-
bers and engaged in deadly conflict. Meth
er getting the better Of the other, and feel
ing no personal hostility, they stared one
another in the face, e,and mutually greed to
stop the fight, The parties named were Cal
vim Dugan, Co. FL First Ohio cavalry, and
Henry Davis, Co E. FORESTS battery. The
latter was Wdshman, and detailed a
scout for Gen. Forrest. Davis. in broken
English, addressed his enemy, You let me
alone let you alone" Dugan replied, with
an army by word, Just as / expected"
They both passed or, and the battle ended.
but the soldiers did not forget the circum.
stance. The war ended, and Dugan emil
grated to Carroll county, Missouri. Davis
worked with Gen. Forrest. on his farm. tor

through the county he stopped at De Witt
to spend the night, and went into saloon
to take drop" Dugan also happened to
be in the same house, and recognized him
Immediately. Stepping up to Davis he slap
ped him on the shoulder and asked him if he
remembered crossing sabers with an enemy
at Kenesaw mountain. Davis replied that
be did, and proceeded forthwith to give q
detailed account of the time, place and cir
cumstances. The old enemies took friend
ly drink and passed the night together. the
greater portion of which was spent in talk
ing over the ups and downs of soldiers life,
and their adventuresIin the terrible conflict.

Man Killed by Liglrniu ?

A correspondent OF the Ne~g.n,,.
Times. writing from Biloxi, Misss. s.ad.s
s>te of April z, says:
Ms morning, about halt past o'cNA
party Of New 0rlsans gentlemen vet6<
enjoying fhs morning air near the beach.
and immediately in front of the Hele in the
Wall, the famous bachelors hotel at Biloxi
The weather was sultry and cloudy. and for
u couple of hours previous there had been
succession of heavy rain squalls, with lig ht-
ming and thunder. Whfis standing close
together and conversing. bIindlng flash of
lightning, accompanied by a rattling clap of
thunder, raised them off their feet. and for
a moment left them in doubt if they were
all nRhurt. This was happily the case.
Shortly afterward they were informed that
q man had been killed by lightning on board
of schooner anchored short distance
from the beach. PROCURING skiff, two of
the party went on board of he schooner
rugged barge Henry Latour, of Biloxi. lying
at anchor about 300 or 400 yards from the
beach. The vessel was manned by a cap
tain and two seamen. They were Just
preparing to get under weigh, had hoisted
the mainsail and foresai, when the lightn
struck the head of the soremast, splintering
it to about eight feet from the deck. The
mast was reduced to about half its thick
ness. The three men standing at the mast
were all knocked down senseless. Two Of
them soon recovered. but the third was dead.
His face and the greater part of the body was
of dove blue color. Except some slight
abrasions and a streak along his right side,
no external injuries we're visible. Ihahl&ek
S1fh a-tdII inches IN diameter, aud the fus~
Lset shoe on his right>foot waA fo1h and rer-
forated The course of the lightning was
evidently through the man. body, and
thence to the chain and anchor md into the
water. Efforts were made'to revive the uu
fortunate man by means Of artificial respira-
ton for an hour and half Under this
treatment the blue coior rapidly disappeared
and gave place to a natural one, but there
was no return of spontaneous respiration.
Though all efforts tc restore this unfortu-
nate man to life failed, it was satisfaction
to witnesses of this sad accident that the
treatment which science and experience
prescribe for such cases was persevered in
for the full length of time within which such
cases have been known to recover.
On white handkerchief found in the
mans pocket was the name of u. +.

companions did not know his name. but
stated he was a native of Holstein, was
about twenty years of age. had shipped in
the schooner at New Orleans about six
months ago. The deceased vas of light
