Currey, the BIaSphemOus 81 Am,''
FOund Guilty of Adultery.
AUGUSTA, GA, March 26, 1S73.-Jo-
seph f. Curry, so-called prophet of
'the new dispensation," was tried at
Appling, Columbus county, to-day, on
charges of adultery and fornicatiOn, be-
fore County Judge Gibson. Curry came
from Massachusetts, with colony of
about two hundred men and women,
over a year ago, and bought lands and
settled in Columbus county. They lived
in tents, and held the property in
common. Curry called himself
" Elijah" and " the prophet of Je-
hovah''-supreme in things spiritual
and temporal. The colony went ON well
for brief period, but the ''prophet" took
to himself too many wives. Jealousy
and insubordination ensued in the colo
ny, and many of the colOnists returned
to Massachusetts, being provided with
free passage to the nearest seaports, eth
er Charleston or Savannah. Finally
the colony bcame so demoralized and
Curry so licentious that the grand jury
indicted him and his queen paramour.
Curry, robed in white linen, with head
and feet bare, in imitation of the Savior,
appeared before the court. His
queen appeared in the same attire,
with white stockings on her feet, and a
white bow on her head. Speaking in
his own defense, he maintained that
men and women could live together as
man and wife without cohabiting, and
that by modification and prayer they
could become perfect. He repelled the
charge of insanity, and displayed much
eruditiOn and familiarity with the ScriD-
lures. He said he had revelations after
revelations that new era had dawned,
when men and women should come
out of the natural order of things to a
higher state of purity. After speeches
from the prosecution and defense the
jury retired, and after half an hours alb
sence returned with verdict of guilty,
with a recommendation to mercy. SEN
tence has been deferred for few weeks.
1t is thought the prophet and his follow
ers will be given an opportunity to find
another Canaan far away from here in
which to pitch their tents.

The CarIiss Disturbance.
MADRID, March 5l-Dispatches from
Barcelona say the situation of that city
is of grave importance. News has
reached there that The town of Boga was
captured by the Carlists On Friday and
was burned by the insurgents, who, be-
fore applying the torch; saturated
number Of buildings with petroleum.
The report Of the burning Of the town
created great excitement in Barcelona,
The populace were assembling in the
streets in large crowds, ard disorder is
feared. The authorities were making
every effort TO allay the excitement and
prevent disturbance. Reprisals were
threatened against the clergy, a number
of whom are known to be Csrlist sym
patbizers. Boga contained a hospital
and several converts, and had over six
thousand population.
General COntreras, captain-general Of
Barcelona, has resigned, and General
Nilande becomes his successor. 1t is
expected that Catalonia will soon be de-
clared in a state of siege. Acts Of law
less violence are a daily occurrence in
Barcelona. The burning of churches
and massacre of priests are threatened.
The authorities are doing all in their
power to prevent such OutTages. Ten
thousand armed citizens maintain order
in the city Of Malaga, but refuse to
admit the regular troops or government
customhouse officers, nor will they allow
vessels conveying soldiers to other points
TO remain in port. They provide for
their expenses by taxing the wealthy
residents. In the absence of custom
house officials smuggling is carried on to
a large extent. The citizens are divided
into two parties-mOderate and ultra
federalists. The mOderGtes now have
control, but the ultras are fast gaining
strength,

O'Clock this morning, at the new build
ing being erected for Field, Letter &
Co., at the corner of Washington and

TRENTON, y. J., March 31-WhiIe
the funeral services of Reverend Father
Macklin were in progress this morning
at st. Johns Catholic church, crack
ing noise was heard, which created the
impression that the gallery was giving
way, and there Immediately ensued a
fearful panic. In the rush for exit
women and children were trampled be-
meath the crowd, which bee me immov-
ably wedged about the doors for about
ten minutes, meanwhile women and
children were being pulled out by stall
wart men, many of them presenting
shocking sight. As soon as the excite
ment was created, steel ladders were
raised to the church windows, and peo-
pie thereby taken out. Many of the
clergy, of whom some twenty were
in church, jumped out of the windows
and went to the front door and an
nounced the safety of the building, but
without avail. Soon, however, fears
subsided and services were resumed.
The cracking noise had emanated from
the kneeling boards. Some fourteen
were wounded more or less seriously,
but none died.

A Pastors Reward.

That good, faithful pastoral work is
appreciated in the State of Ohio Is Illus
trated by the following incident that cc.
CURED in Ironton. A revival preacher,
who had won fame by his power in the
pulpit, came to Ironton for weeks work.
He was very jealous, preached every night,
excited considerable interest, and was We
hement in his exhortations to the unre-
newed portion of the congregation to come
forward. On the last evening of his labors
he outdid himself but not person rose TO
come forward. Discouraged, he sat down;
whereupon graye-faced, an2ious-looking
man got up, and said that the elder had
been working hard and laboring faithfully
among them, aud, as a token Of their ap-
probation, he moped TIA, thc congregation
gre him three cheers 1t was done right
heartily, and that contrite congregation
went quietly out and silently home, salts.
fed that they had fully and faithfully per.
formed their duty.

Clothes on Fire.

The following, which we copy from the
Scientific american, should be remem-
bered.
Three persons out Of four would rush
right up to the burning individual and be-
gin to paw with their hands without any
definite aim. 1t is usless to tell the vic
tim to do this or that, or call for water
In fact it is generally best not to say a
word, but to seize blanket from the bed
or any woolen fabrie--if none is at hand,
take any woolen matcrial--]hold the cor
ners as far apart as you can, stretch them
out higher than your had, and running
bodily TO the person make motion Of
clasping in the arms, mostly about the
shoulders. This instantly smothers the FIRE
and saves the face.
The next instant throw the person on the
floor This is an additional safety to the
face and breath, and any remnant of fame
can be put out more leisurely. The next
instant immerse the burnt part in cold wa
ter, and all pain will cease with the rapidity
of lightning. Next get some common
-four, remove from the water, and cover
the burnt parts with an inch in thickness
of -four, if possible, put the patient TO bed
and do all that is possible to sooth until
the physician arrives. Let the -four re-
main until it falls of itself, when beautiful
skin can be found. Unless the burns are
deep, no other application is needed The
dry -four is the most admirable remedy
ever proposed, and the information ought
to be impaired to ALL The principle of
its actions is, that ike water, it causes
instant and perfect relief from pain by
totally excluding all the air from the in
jured parts.

Blue Color of the sky.

NJ. Collas, of Paris, comments in Les
Moades Of December Il, on NJ. A. Lal-
lemandes paper on the blue color Of the
atmosphere, in which it was attributed to
a change of refrangibility due TO a partial
absorption Of the chemical or ultra violet
rays. In 1870 NJ. Collas, in an article
in Les MoAdes, attributed the blue color Of
the Lake of Geneva and other waters to
the quantity ofsilex held in solution, which
is brought down by the tributary streams
from the strata through which they pass.
Numerous observations since have induced
him to believe that the blue color of all
the water of the globe is due to the same
cause. The air everywhere always con-
tains more or less Of moisture due 20 cyap-
Grafton from the water Of the earth the
water thus evaporated always contains a
greater or less quantity Of extremely fine
insoluble PARTICLES Slick, says NJ. Collas,
is one Of the most common insoluble
substances in nature, aud, through evapo-
ration, PERFORMS the same function in the
blue sky that he believes it dos in the
blue waters of the earth. He believes
his theory is confirmed by the intense
blue of southern skies, where evaporation
is SO much greater than in the cold north.
