TIE SEASON OF THUNDER STORMS
The season of thunder storms may be
said to be upon US, and the numerous ac-
cidents continually reported throughout
the country, reminds the prudent of seek
ing whatever protection there may be
agains, such calamity. Science furnishes
a protector FF'-irl---s. n --s..,.s .ssapc Of Ije-tning
rods. Statistics, b5-z on land aud sea,
prove that they are a protection. For in
stance, one of the greatest dangers of the
sea use to be from lightning, aud we now
have it officially from the British Navy,
where they have system of lightning
rods applied to the vessels, that "acci-
dents have almost entirely ceased" We
understand the same is true in the statis-
ties in regard to houses on land thus pro-
tected.
Wheat and fruit prospects in the
county arc excellent At present. Wheat
looks particularly promising, while the
pink is juA peeping from the peach buds,
indicating abundance of that luscious
fruit. if not nipped by biting frosts.

TnE FATE OF A BACHELOR :

Il . 4 4 OF n 1DAtn EA-OiN -
correspondent writes the Coarisr of dis
aster which befell one Thomas Langford,
bachelor, who lives some distance above
Hickman, near Lucas Bend. Langford
lives to himself in iouse or camp. AZ
ter working all day last Friday, floating
timber, ne returned to his home, and be
ing very tired, layed down on the bed,
before the FIRE. with all his clothes, boots
and hat on lie says that about o'clock
be was awakened suddenly by the fire
burning under him. 1t had burnt one
side Of the bed up from the head to the
foot, and all the cover off of him. During
his sound sleep he had rolled to the back
side of the bed, away from the fire, but
there being sunken place in or on the
floor, the fire worked It's wav under him,
and had burnt his hat 81 his head. and
was burning his hair and whiskers when
he awoke Ono side of his head whis
kers, and eye-lashes are completely sin
ged of. I.asgford says he only had about
elk inches of bed left when he first be-
came sensible of the FIRE. The house was
not seriously damaged. lie says he wants
no more bachelor life, but if some good
woman can overlook his 45 years and a
few white hairs, he intends to marry.

New way TO Kln Burglars

From the New York Post March 81
Mr. \ J.. Stimsou (ior some years
manager OF the Fidelity Safe Depo-i
tory) has made two Inventions which
are thought likaly 90 be very useful in
the constructing OF commercial vaults
The first IS IN AR chamber, either
entire or in sectious. Tor driving aud
vcutilatiug vaults. the contents OF which
would otherwise suffer from dampucss
The last and most important Is hi,
chemical arm0r for hank vaults. Air
chambers of thin metal, either entire
or sectional for shipment liue the in
terror of the vault on every side aud
at the top and bottom also, the door
and the safe These metallic chamber
are filled with long tubes Of glasss aud
then lead pipes containing alternately
either srlphuric acid or bicarbouate of
soda in solution,
In breaking into The vaplt. ou either
side, top or bottom dozen or more OF
these fragile receptacles must necessari
ly be fractured, and it is so arranged
that the disiodged contents must run
into the vault and there uniting in the
trough receiving them, form carbonic
acid gas This gas begins 10 expei the
vital atmosphere from the floor no
wards. until the vault is full of the
deadly vapor, and no oxygen is left.
Of course, being heavier than the at
mosphere. the carbonic acid gas can
not leave the vault until an opening
be made on level with the floor 1t
follows that the burglar who should
rsshiy venture into a vault so impreg-
mated, by his own act, would never
leave it alive The chemical armor
for au ordinary sized vault costs about
$500 This, it Is claimed. would have
saved the Quincy Bank sl50,000.

To the Voters Of the First Ju-
dtciaE District.

The canvass for the office Of Circuit
Judge in this Judicisl District has opened
aud five gentlemen have announced them
selves as aspirants for that responsible
and highly honorable position. 1t had
been nay purpose TO ask the suffrage of
the voters OF this district to elevate me TO
tha, Office if in view of my legal qualiti-
cations and fitness for the position they
should deem me worthy. But | was re-
strained from coming forward in such
hot haste, by reflection that this office
was one in which from nature and
the peculiar responsibilities attached 10 it,
the people had q singular interest in
making the selection of the incumbent.
In word, l think fhis is Office which
should not be sought by personal appeals,
but that IL is one which the people should
make it their business Nthunt for the man
upon whom TO bestow it. | have therefore
hesitated thus far to announce myself n
q candidate. But, fellow citizens, the can
vass has now opened, and the public are
engaged, of course, in discussing he rela-
tive merits of the aspjrants aud forming
their conclusions as to the person VINO
shall fill the office. / have determined to
announce myself as one among those from
whom the voters may make selection. l
may, l hope. be permitted 10 say that ]
DO so in compliance with the expressed
wish of numerous friends, not only from
the county of my residence, but from
every county in the District-an express
sion of preference for me and confidence
in my ability to discharge the duties OF
Circuit Judge with fidelity TO the proper
administration Of Justice, the dispatch
of business and speedy disposition of
cases upon the docket, which is re-
garded by me as extremity gratifying,
and highly complimentary, l wish also
10 say that / enter this canvass and add
>, 2 acc 20 tbs list of Democratic aspi-
ranfs, under the apprehension thar-Jy no
ing SO. l increase the danger of the elec-
tion of a Radical 10 the office. While the
Judge who may be elected, should not,
aud have no fear or idea that he would
suffer his polical feelings to bias or intiu
efSe his Judicial opinions, yet it cannot
be disguised that in district so largely
democratic as this, the election of q Radi
cal to the Office of Circuit Judge would
be hailed as 4 great triumph to the oppo-
sition, and a source of deep modification
to the dominant party. l therefore say
that l stand prepared to submit myself
to any proper action taken by the Dem
0cracy to decide between the aspirants as
TO their relative and respective claims.
Respectfully,
L. l. BULLOCK.

LONG SERMONS The Early eoun' y
News man had this to say OF long ser
mons: We do not like long sermons;
never saw any one who did; but many
people are afraid TO say so. Sermons
should be good, but it is a rare case
for a long sermon to be good through
out. They are scarcely more enter
tanning than long editorials in coun
try newspaper. The advantage. if any
there be, is on the side of editorials
for we can read theu,, as we may elect
but, if caught by long sermon be
tween the pulpit ami the door, w'
have no remedy but to hear it
