During a thunder storm yesterday even
ing Colonel r.. 3. Billing had thirteen
horses killed instantly by lightning,
(nine colts and four horses,) none Of
them under two years old, and some of
them the finest stock in the country.
The most remarkable part Of it was

Of fifteen feet square, nearly all touch
ing each other. There were in the
field TWENTY-FIVE horses. but whether
all were together it could not be ascer-

There were no trees where the horses

Talking:.about stories. Gire's "big un''
about rats was not halt as improbable as
some ofJack Peppers yarns, and neither
of these historical celebrities could exager-
ate about the number of rats and their
mischievsus depredatiens and exploits in
our otherwise quiet little village Every
domicil in the place is infested, and they
are becoming SO bold as ito attempt their
passage on the public street., and even in
some instances, show fight with those who
attempt to interrupt their perambulations.
Hundreds Of these inischievous deprela-
tors upon the larders and granaries have
been killed in a gurrilla war waged by in
dividual citizens. but thei number seem
not to be lessened. They still hold, high
carnival, and, unless some united effort is
made to route these invaders Of our houses
and firesides we must still cuss and suffer.
1t seems to IFS that by the comrnonest rat
iocinalion our council slould decree a gen
eral and united movement against our
common foe, and lavishly vote men, money
and poison r. the cause; and we feel as
sured that their action will be ratified by
all good and loyal citizens. *
Apropos to the old legend of Pied Piper.
who by the magic of his horn enticed the
rats from an ancient German town. we
have one fresh from our county, told us
by a friend who knows and vouches for
the story. Some months ago a travelling
stranger stopped for the night at the resi-
dence of citizen of this county, and be-
fore retiring for the night was informed
by his host that he would probably be
disturbed in his rest by the rats, that infcs-
ted the house in such vast numbers. All,
never mind, said the imperturbable guest,
L shall no. DC disturbed if you will only
place board across the creek, for l shall
drive them all away. The board was
placed as desired, and, mtrabt ls Mctu, the
house was no longer infested; but the hill
across the creek was, in short time, com
pletely burrowed, presenting the appear
ance of miniature Mt. Cent tunuels in ev-
cry direction. Such is the story. and we
believe 1t as implicitly as We have faith in
our nursery legend of Pied Piper

The following decision. recently made,
by the Commissioner Of internal Revenue
is OF Importance 10 all business men: The
penalty for accepting an unstalnped check
is precisely the same fer issuing it, viz !:
Fifty dollars. The law declares that any
person who shall make, sign, issue, or re-
ceipt,negotiate or pay an ,ulstamped check
shall be liable. If a person has sent to
him an unstamped check he must return
it or stamp it before he accepts it, other
wise he violates the law. 1t is thus seen
that the receiver Of an unstsmped check
