Dangerous IIallucinatiOn.

Hallucinations are sometimes as lncon-
venient us thoy are foolish. Occasionally
they only concern the people who chance
to labor under them but moro fire.
quently they result in complications of a
serious nature. Such case is reported
by tho Rocky Mountain Ncrs as occur
ring at Toquoville, Utah. A gentleman
named Richard Fryer, imagining him
solf to be u Messiah, gained possession
of Il revolver and then went i'll search of
the devil. His journey was not a long
one, for he very quickly entered the
house of Thomas Batty, Il neighbor, and
at onco shot him through the head.
Proceeding in his Terrible chase, he
next lifted II child Of Batty's, who was
asleep in the cradle hard by, into the
air, and shot it also; after which lie
blew Mrs. BNtty's brains ont as she tried
to save her infant. Satisfied with his
achievements he now sailed forth into
tho street, and announced to n crowd
which had gathered that he had slain
Bcclzcbub and several Of his imps !;
whorcupon the sheriff, thinking that it
was timo for action, summoned Mr..
Fryer to surrcnHcl. TO this. demand
the lunatic dcmurred, and fight en-
sued, in the course of which the repre-
sentative of Justice, with the aid of II
revolver, but an end to Flyers hallncina-
lions and career at once. The principal
fact to be noted about the tragedy is
the readiness with which firearms werc
produced and used throughout tho hor-
Iiblc business. Everybody concerned
appeared to have loaded pistol close at
hand, and seemed anxious to use it, and
the only thing to be wondered at is that
50 few were killed. On the same day,
at Panamint, two mon, named James
Bruce and Robert MKinlcy, settled Il
little dispute about the ownership OF a
gun by shooting each other mortally !;
while at Idaho, the other day, a hartcn-
der called Koran WAS shot and fatally
wounded by one James llamlln, with
whom he had q difficulty"

Successful Shad Culture.

1t will lc remembered that Mr. Seth
Green's experiment of Introducing shad
into the Gcnoscc river with view to the
propagation in Lake Ontario Of this de
licious iuhubitunt OF our waters, was
proved successful by the capture Of
several we'll grown fish. Another and
more convincing proof now comes from
Cobomg and other Canadian towns on
the northern shore Of the lake, which
have been visited by great shoals of a
novel sort Of fish, supposed at first to be
herring, but which proved on close
examination to be shad, evidently from
the Gvuescc plantation.

THE GREAT CALAMITIES.
The Enrthquakcs in South America and the
Floods In France.

In addition to the large number of
accidents for which men are Immediate
ly responsible, this year will be memoir
able for it's great disasters by flood and
earthquake. There have been destruc-
tive foundations in many portions of
Europe, and terrestrial disturbances in
Asia and South America have becnmore
frightful and widespread than any known
in late years. Tho earthquake of May
1G, II, and 18 shook considerable
range of country lying on the line be-
tween Venezuela and Colombia. A group
of towns scattered through the valleys
of San Cristrobal and San jose de Gu
cuta, south of Lake Maracaibo and
along the base of n spur Of tho Andean
chain, wore utterly demolished. Nine
of these towns were in Venezuela, chief.
ly in the department of Merida; and
ten were in Colombia, in the States Of
Santander and Pomplona. Some of
these villages were small, but the total
loss of life must be enormous, one estl-
mate placing it as high as 1l,00O. In
one village, for example, only six per-
sons escaped with their lives. The loss
OF property is also variously estimated;
but the destruction wrought at Cucuta,
where the earthquake seems to have
been most terrible, was frightful. The
entire town was brought down in ruin,
property to the value of $7,OOO,OOO
being wiped out Of existence. The
earthquake was q series OF constant
shakings for three days, with some lit
, tcrmissions, and terminating with tho
tremendous crash which came on the
18th of May, when villages were tum-
| blcd down as one might shake down Il
! house Of cards set on dining table, by
Il jar Of the furniture. SO violent were
these shocks that the inhabitants were
obliged to lie upon the groundand grasp
some object, to prevent being knocked
over. When We reflect that M earth
Quake leaves the inhabitants of the
smittcn region no refuge, no place where
they can flee for safety, we may have a
faint conception Of the tcrrorS of that
dreadful calamity i'll South America,
Fire broke ont in some Of the ruined
towns; ,mburied bodies romaincd"mong
the ruins to poison the air with animal
decay, and brigands seized the occasion
in the general dismay to plumber and
loot the abandoned houses and stores.
Although we have no official estimate
of the loss of life by the floods in south
crl France, it is not likely that 50 mahy
persons have persisted ia those dlsaS-
trous imnndations as by the South
American earthquakes. A late telegram
saws That it is officially announced i'll
Paris that the original estimates were
eyocpcrated, and that only two hundred
and fifteen bodies have been recovered
