killing of the green cabbage worm,
which our readers may find sufficiently
valuable to pay for preserving: Dis
solve one spoonful of saltpeter in COM
mon pan full of warm mot hot) water,
and sprinkle the cabbage Herewith on
the first appearance of the worms. Two
or three of these applications will suffice
for the season. The water, besides, acts
like a charm in promoting the growth

On last Sunday, during the thunder
storm that passed over here, four young
men of this place, james Stoneburner,
Elliot Anknev, Frank Spencer and Os-
born Spencer were out on the Fair
Grounds, where they sought shelter
from the storm in the ticket Office, while
there, the lightning struck a tree on the
opposite side of the road about fifty feet
distant. the current, it seems, divided,
striking the ticket Office just beneath
the edge Of the roof, shattering the side
of the building. Osborn Spencer was
sitting down leaning against the side Of
the building Immediately beneath the
point where the current came in contact
with it. Ankney was sitting on the OPP
posite side, when the shock came Spen-
Ger rolled over and began shaking.
Ankney as soon as he recovered from
the shock, which was instantly, noticed
the condition of Spencer and ran into
an adjoining apartment to call Frank
Spencer and Stoneburner, when he
found them, one in each corner, in the
same condition They, however, soon
recovered, when the trio directed their
attention to Osborn who seemed appar-
antly lifeless. Stoneburner and Ank-
ney ran to the Infrmary and secured
the assistance of some friends who sue
ceeded in partially restoring the pros
trate man, when the services of Mr..
Thomas Mills were secured and he was
brought to town, and Is rapidly recov-
ering from the effects of the shock.
Stoneburner says that he was standing
up at the time. with his hand against
the side Of the building, when he felt
something sting his arm which dropped
powerless at his side, he then felt the
fluid crawling down his legs and hunt
ing around in his boots, when his legs
doubled up like patent hat rack, and
he sat down. He says he could not speak
but could see as clear as ever, and look
ed around saw Frank Spencer sit
ting in the opposite corner acting as
though he was trying to pull the scales
from his eyes. Ankney and Stonebur-
ner say they believe the elements are
combined against them.-[Ne Lexing-

The Chicago Rock Island & Pacific
r. r. are scattering advertisements on
cards in this section of the country, in
viting people to emigrate to Nebraska,
Colorado, Wyoming, &c, over their
road On one side of the card is an alb
surd picture, entitled "Destitption in
New jersey" representing an army of
grasshoppers attacking a farmers resi-
dence in that State, and carrying off his
children, live stock, household effects,
and helping themselves through the
bung-hole to the contents of his whiskey
barrel, while he is in his wagon, laying
whip to the mules in order to escape be-

of the West, but that New jersey is
