Il Ghastfy Phenomenon.

The Nashville (Tenn.) Union and dn7er-
icon says a strange phenomenon isnov ex-
hibited in the Office of the Courier Herald,
in the town of Jackson. Itisthus described
as to history and appearance (: man
named William Heron was out walking
with his wife one Sunday evening not long
Since and in passing an old neglected grave
yard near the public road. she SAW gum
bush with a bunch Of mistletoe on lis TOP,
and requested her husband to get it for
her He went and cut the top OF the bush,
and commenced breaking off the mistletoe,
when. to his surprise aud terror, he discov-
cred that the wood underneath presented
the perfect form of a human hand. Cap
tain Andrews, hearing of the wonderful
discovery, went to the house of nr. Her
ron, who. feeling rather uncomfortable
over the thought that lie cut it from n
grave, and perhaps having some theory as
to its supernatural Significance. very will
ingly let Captain Andrews have II. There
are citizens of this city r. whom both Cap
tain Andrews and Mr.. Heron are known,
and they arc vouclied for as truthful men,
but The hand itself is proof enough of the
truth of their statement concerning its
growth on a bush. Tie bush from which
it was cut was six feet high, and the hand
was on the TOP, pointing upward, present
ing the position of the minister's hand
when prOuouncing bencdiction. lt is
about the size os a six-year-old child hand,
with long slender fingers like those of
person very much emaciated by sickness.
The wood has enlarged formations on each
finger and the thumb, representing and
corresponding with the joints OF the hu>
man hand. The most remarkable feature
about il is the natural appearance of the
nails. They have kind of flesh color,
and the balance Of the hand. where the
bark las been entirely removed, looks ghast>
ly white. The first impression it makes
uPon yoa is the same experienced in hands
ling a skeleton. and large majority of
those who soc it regard it with the same
subducd, half superStitious awe inspired
by the presence of a corpse. Mr. Andrews
says tie grave from which it was cut is
supposed to be the grave Of a very devOut
Methodist minister 10y tho name Of Bu,cli~
er, who was buried there many years ago.

MANY Of our readers have no doubt been
tempted to inquire, what sort of an insect
is the buffalo gnat The telegraph brings
us accounts of cattle and horses destroyed
in great numbers by them, in Tennessee.
An exchange thus describes them:
The buffalo gnat, which is causing so
much destruction among cattle in the South
west. is a small insect, not more than half
tie size of the hCuse>fly, which suddenly
appears in the air by millions and settles
upon all frur-footed animals within reach.
4 horse or cow will be literally covered with
them at night in the morning the animal
will be found dead and swelled to an eDor>
nous size. The bite is very poisonous, and
the wound quickly testers. Cattle owners
find that the most effective way of protects
ing their animals is to cover them with a
coating of diluted tar, but if that cannot
be done fires are built and the smoke drives
of the insects. Amongst the wild animals,
especially the deer, on the Arkansas side
of the river, the ravagcs of the gnat are
everywhere apparent. Without any pro,
lection the deer fails victims in large num-
bers to this poisonous insect, which, how~
ever, does not touch man.

ABL0oDY AFFRAY,-In Plymouth town
ship. Luzerne county, on Thursday last,
Constable Michael Casey went to levy upon
the goods of James Conneli, but was re-
sisted. and returning to WliKesbarre for
assistance, Police Officer ReibScnner went
with him. The whole Conuell family, COM
pVisinG n dozen men, cOngIegated together
in the house and baIricaded it. When the
officers approached they were fired upon,
Rcidsenncr receiving three balls, one in
his head and two in his body. Casey was
also shot. The sheriff at once collected a
posse of 100 men, who, armed, sted he
scene and after some stra tegy and desper-
ate resistance, arrested them AL and brought
them to Nilkesbarre amid intense excite
ment.
Lawrence ard Edward Connell, who
fred the shots from the windows which
struck Officer ReibSenner, were held fol
that cause and the others in default of
s.. 0G0 bail each, were also sent to prison.
Re .bsenrcr is sinking rapidly. Casey will
probably recover, although lie has fourteen

muskcts and rifles, most Of them loaded.
were found in the house of the Connells
after their capture.

King KalaSaua Of the Sandwich Is
lands will send his feather cloak to the Cen
tennial Exposition at Philadelphia. This
article will represent more labor than any
other that will be on exhibition. Its man
ufacturc was commenced over a hundred
years ago, under the auspices of some of
the ancestors of Kamehameha, the first
King of the islands, and upward of fifty
years of time was required for it's compile
ton. 1t is made of the feathers of a pecu-
liar species of bird-each bird furnishing
only two feathers, one from under each
wing. In size the cloak is little over a
square yard. and its color is golden vel
low. 1t used to be worn by she King on
state occasions, but of late years it serves
only to adorn the reception room Of the
palace.

THE NEW LICENSE LAw.-The ElGlira
.fdyertiSer in a late article upon the new
license law of this State justly aninadyerts
upon the provision contained therein which
Is intended to prolIibt-oT at least to Oh
sJruct-Ihe sale OF liquors in this State
from dealers outside. IL IS fair To lay the
blame of this outrageous provision upon
the Senate, whicn tackled the provision, as
an amendment. to the bill as it originally
passed the House. But the III H1use refused
To concur in the Senate amendments, and
the result was reference of the matter to
Il conference committee. One of the con-
cessiOns to the Senate, agreed npon by the
conference committee, WAS that the provi-
sion above referred to should stand. The
AdCsltiser aludes to the fect that Skinner
& Russell, wholesale liquor dealers at FL
mira, have hitherto had an annual trade
in this State of forty thousand dollars, and,
if there is any real fol &c to the aforesaid
provision, they would in large measure
be cut oft from their trade in Pennsylvania.
All that need to say IN reference 10
this intended prohi Oition Is that il IS prac-
tically dead letter, and, as II ouglI to be,
vii! be wholly diSregaTded by the trade
II it is lawful for anybody to sell alcoholic
liquors in this State by the Wholesale. the
Legislature has not tie power to rCsrict
such legal privilege 10 persons residing
Within the State. If the Legislature pos
sessed such a power VIII Itfercucc 10 The
sale of liquor, it could just as well estab-
lish a similar prohibition against tie sale
in this State of any other class Of goods by
persons residing in al adjoining State.
The Legislature above referred to is 5rUtunl
fui1Ren, and we trust will be needed by no
IituscULe Courier.

TIE friends and admirers of Robert
Va Mavkey, State Treasurer, claim that
lie is a shrewd business man and that
he has administered the affairs OF his
department with clean hands. A 9ery
recent occurrence, however, shows that
tie claim is not founded on fact, and
that Mr. Mackey will likely get him
self into serious trouble as the result
OF his own folly, which Radical papers
are boastiug Of as proof of his won
derful smartness and cunning. The
House Of Representatives at its last
session, authorized the appointment OF
a committee Of seven OF its members
to investigate the management OF the
treasury, commencing with the term oil
William V. McGrath in 1868 ana
ending at the present time. so many
allegations have been made IN reference
to Mackey,s management OF the bu-i-
ness Of the treasury, that it was imper-
ativelv due to the people Of the State,
rs well as to himself, that most thor
6ugh and searching investigation
should be made. The committee called
on Mr. Mackey at de Treasury De
partment a short time since for the
purpose of commencing the work that
had been assigned to them. The
Treasurer informed the committee that
in his opinion it had no authority TO
act. not being a joint committee OF the
Legislature. but expressed his willing
ness to permit its members, as private
citizens. to enter upon the examination.
The committee had employed and Ia
ken with it a skillrul and competent
accountant 10 assist in examining the
books. but n. soon as he. al tie request
Of the committee. was about 10 com
mcuce work. M8ckey objected, declar-
ing that no outsider, as he styled the
accountant. should interfere. OF
course the committee could proceed no
further after this abrupt refusal Of the
TreasGrcr. II was absolutely Ueccss-
arv that the committee should have
the assistance OF an experienced ac-
-ou1t5ut. for tie reason that 40 orji-
nary business man is competent to
il..vel and comprehend the peculiar
method in which the books Of the
treas ury arc kept Il was miserable
OLA the part of Maciley TO
object 20 the accountant. Has he any
ding 90 fear from the most thorough
examination Of his arcounts By a pro-
re= -ional boyk-keeper, If they are hon
e.s and correct ? The question an
=wers itself. If Mackev has been
honest in his Office he ought to be the
first man ID court an investigation,
instead Of attempting to shun it by
nterposing frivolous and stupid oLjec-
tons. which carry with them, in the
Judgment Of all honest men, a coEfes-
sion Of guilt The work Of Al ac-
countant c5u'd never prove Aackcy
guilty OF the charges which have been
against him, If there is no
for them. This is perfect
" plain 70 every man Of ordinary in

his own act, has strengthened the sus-
picion, whether we'll or i'll founded,
which has prevailed against him, and
