part of Agricultural Fairs as the exhi-
hition of horned cattle or of fruit and
vegetables. Considerable prejudice pre-
walls against fairs, owing to the abuse
which has grown out of this much need

are engaged in the raising of horses
vcrv naturally desire to show the speed
of their stock, and this is lust as import
ant to this class of people as the exhibit
ton of fine bloOdcd stock is to the cat
tic raiser. The misfortune is that abuses
have grown up at the race course, so
many OF our people say remove the

Scientific.

Mr.. G.. Tomlinson has a paper in
Nature accounting for the trcc-like
marking sometimes found on the bod
les of persons struck by lightning.
These markings are not reproductions
of ncighboring objects, but character
istic tracings of the course OF the cleo
trio discharge. Mr.. Tomlinson gives Il
drawing of the aboresccnt impression
made upon plate of crown glass by
the discharge from Leylcn jar. The
plate being coated with an extremely
thin film of soap, and the spark made to
pass over its surface, nothing is visible
until it is brcathcd on, when dcndrlt-
ic figure is developed perfectly tree
like in its branchings. An engraving
is shown of similar markings on the in
ncr surface of the bark of Il tree struck
by lightning. Mr.. Thomlinson does
not doubt, however, that actual impress
sions of metallic objects may be trans
fcrred to the human body by electricity,
and cites two instances in which the
image of suspended horseshoe is said
to have been thus imprinted, and Il

Marriage in a Railroad Car.

A CHOICE MADE EY THE YOUNG
Folks AND NOT BY THE OLD Folks.
On the Philadelphia and Erie ex-
press between Sunbury and Sclinsgrove
on the 9th ult., while the train was ma
king forty miles an hour, nuptial knot
was tied. Conductor Trump had for
some time been paving his addresses to
Miss Maggie kapp, the belle of North
cumberland, and daughter of Amos T..
kapp, one of the wcalthiest and most
influential men in Eastern Pennsylva-
MIA, and on that morning, after Con
ductor Trump had reached his Jour
news end, nc found the Rev. MIR. Glib
son, and taking palace car, the two
returned on brother conductors train
to Northumberland. Thus the Friends
of his sweetheart were switched off the
track. They knew that ne went out
of town in the morning, and of course
did not expect him to return until ms
regular hour in the evening. Mean
while Miss Knapp suddenly wished to
go down the road short distance to
visit relative. She entered the train
unsupported, and after it had started,
Miss Knapp and Mr. Trump took their
places before the Rev. Mr.. Gibson, and
were married. The nuptial knot was
tied between the stations of Sunbury
and Sclinsgrovc.
