fluid followed the chimney down to the
lower floor. came out al the side and passed
through the window. 1t struck Martin
Barry, who was sitting smoking with his
feet resting on the stove. and took off his
shoes, tearing them to pieces, and lacerated
his heels IN a frightful manner also marking
his legs from his knees down. lie was un-
conscious for about an hour His heels
look as though a dagger had been driven
through them from the inside, and at last
accounts he was in very critical condition.
The lightning also stunned a young lady
who was in the room with Mr.. Barry,
though little boy who was in the room at
the time was no; affected in the least. Two
men, Thomas Ii. SYmms and Charles
Bean, who were sitting on the banking

An event which has greatly excited the
peoule Of Smiths Island, in Chesapeake
Bay, off Somerset county, Nd, occurred
last week. The Crisfeld Leader gives
the following While s. T. Dixie and wife
were attending church, some person or
persons entered their house and took a
pocket book containing SIS in money and
a note Of $3.50, two guns-single and dou-
BILE banel--several articles Of clothing and
two little boys, aged respectively nine and
twelve years, who were left in charge OF
the house, one Of whom was child Of
Mr.. Die, while the other was an orphan
boy, who formerly resided in Baltimore.
Mr. Dies three boats were also carried
away from his landing. No one can con-
lecture what motive the robbers had in
taking the boys with them, unless il was
TO prevent them giving information that
would lead to their (the robbers arrest.
Immediately after the robbery was discoy-
cred several canoes, well manned, started
in different directions in quest Of the des-
peradoes, but as yet they have not been
overtaken. 1t has been ascertained that
the youth from Baltimore induced the
other to run away with him. The latter
was found on Gwinn's Island, but the
Baltimore youth escaped.

ABOLITION OF SUPERPLUoUs OFFICES.
The conference committee on the con-
sular and diplomatic bill has Topped off a
number Of appropriations for ministers to
countries in which we have no very great
use for such wcighty functionaries. These
countries include Portugal, Switzerland,
Bolivia, Ecuador, Colonbia, Paraguay,
Uruguay, Greece and Denmark. Charges
d'afaires, however, are provided to repre-
sent US in Portugal, Switzerland, Greece,
Denmark and Paraguay at annual salaries
Of $4,000. A number Of consnlates are
not provided for and are practically abol-
ished, but with the exception Of South
ampton and perhaps Venice the country
will not be apt to fud much fault with
the omission. Most Of the officers dis
continued are practically sinecures, and
have been for years. The bill passed both
houses on Saturday.

Tho Indian Campaign.


The latest Intelligence from the troops
ii the Indian country Is to the effect that
General Terry expected to begin bis adj
vance from his camp on the Yellowstone,
near the mouth Of Big Horn river, on
Thursday last. This is to be a movement
in conjunction with General Crook, both
columns being reinforced, aud will be d.
rected into the country in the neighbor-
hood Of the Little Big Horn river, where
Custer was massacrcd, and near which
the main body Of the Indians is supposed to
Be. There are conflicting reports from the
Indians. Some reports represent them as
breaking up into small bands, for the pur-
pose Of predatory incursions upon the from
tier settlements, some returning to the
agencies, to beg for food for the next win
ter. Others represent them as concentra-
ting for a great battle, their forces being
increased BY arrivals from the agencies,
until they now reach from 5000 to 5000
men. The latter reports are probably
nearer the truth, although there are no
data on which to base an accurate esti-
mate Of the strength of the hostile Indian
force. 1t is not probable that the Indians !,
any more than the whites, in the face Of
powerful, sigilant enemy bent on slaugh-
ter and revenge, would cut up their forces
so as to be beaten in detail At any rate
the commanders Of the troops are acting
on the basis of coping with hostile Sioux
as single, powerful band, which viii fight
with cunning and energy. This campaign
is being watched with close attention, and
il attracts much notice abroad, especially
in England, where there is quite an inter
est taken in it. The people expect the
troops to be moved with caution but with
certainty and want no more failures, and
assuredly no more massacres, suclsds curd-
led the blood when the news came Of Gus
ter's terrible fate. 1t is gratifying to
know that such hostile Sioux as present
themselves at the agencies, fresh from
slaughter and begging for food, are to be
given nothing, but will promptly be made
prisoners.
