RATHER CURIOUS. recUuect the
thunder storm of few weeks ago. a.
mong the queer freaks Of the wonder,
full element, recorded by exchange pa.
pcrs is the following from the Lewis
town Gazette
In the yard adjoining, occupied by
Wildhen Hughes, that gentleman was
feeding his dogs the oiials of sqirrels
which he had killed during the day
and just finished cleaning. He asserts
that he saw, about ten feet from him
on the ground in the yard black ball
the size Of a bushel, moving uncasily
about which exploded with terrific
force, sending streaks of fire down the
lot. lie was thrown back to the kitch-
en- by the shock his wife, who was
calling him to tea from window in
the upper story, wos so stunned that
she did not recover till the next day.
The child playing on the floor was al
so affected in q similar manner. A
small walnut tree in his lot was streak.
ed with the electric currant, and shed
crisped leaves.
TO Comsumpiircs EVryvherc.-A cor.
respondent ofa Georgia paper writes
rs follows "Having seen much sulr.
cring from consumption, and knowing
that thousands of dollars are yearly
spent by invalids travelling for health
and on medicines and physicians, we
propose simple receipt 10y which pa.
tients may become their own physi-
clans ;and If not too far gone will guar
antee u perfect cure if made and regu-
larly taken according to directions.
The ingredients are hoarhound, mullen
and molasses ingredients that are
within reach Of all, mullen growing
wildin every field, the hoarhound in
every garden, and the molasscs can be
had IN every grocery store Tho di-
rections for making are to take large
handful Of hoarhound and boil as
strong tea as can possibly be made.
Take up and boil an equal quantity OF
mullen in the same way. Take u tea
spoonful of each of this tea of mullen
and hoarhound, and mix together in II
suitable vessel then add cupful OF
molasses and stew. .to a. syrup-thc
quicker the better. Take a tablespoon
ful three times day. be particular
in following directions rs to making
and also rs TO taking It, and we will
guarantee relief in all cases not to far
advanced"
The writer does not claim this re.
cipe as original with himself, but has
recommended IL in many cases with
good results. As the ingredients are
SO common and so easily obtained, il
Is best not TO make moro than a quart
at a time, particularly in warm wealth
er, as the fresher it is the better effect
will be produced. Papers in the coun.
try will confer blessing on this, alas
too numerous class-North, South.
East and west-by publishing the a.
bove recipe.
ADVICE TO People VISITING THE Gen.
TESNIAL.-The following article from
the Philadelphia Ledger, hits the nail
square on the head, and we endorse
every word of it; "A first-rate service
can be done by the newspaper press of
the country TO all persons intending to
visit the Centennial exhibition byiad-
vising them to leave trunks and all
other cumbrous baggage at home.
Tho people who are free from these
impediments are immensely may
almost say inflnitely-better of at this
particular time, than those who bring
them. The trunk or any other piece
ofluggage that cannot DO carried in
hand by the visitor, and be in the rail-
way car under the eye of the visitor
while travelling, is q perpetual sorce of
anxiety. disappointment and vexation.
Railway depots have pyramids of them
which tho owners may never see until
about TO return home. What can be
carried in the hand-valise, the satchel,
or with the wraps in the shawl strap,
Is sufficient for visitors TO tho Centen-
ntaf exhibition. The prevailing style
ofdress in Philadelphia, at this time
Is the dress that people travel In. 1t Is
recognized and encouraged as the
proper thing for oil occasions, whether
for stxeet dress, dinner. or evening
dress, aud it is universal at the exhi-
hibitiou. Travellers and visitors are
