KINGSVILLE

Eds. Teg:-The thunder storm last
Thursday afternoon, about 2 p. M, was
prolific of some serious work in this vitili
ty. Mr.. Erastus Hawkins, near Clark's
mill, Sheffield Tp., had barn struck by
lightning and burned, the same containing
12 tons of hay and co dozen bundles of
wheat. The recent purchase Of the place
from Mr.. Allen, did not result in a trans
fer of the insurance of some 5000, and this
is thought to be void.
The electric currents at the time of
striking the barn were playing their pranks
all about in that region. Across the way
Mr.. Giles Hawkins Was out back of his
house at the time and he experienced the
same effects as he would from 4 hard blow
with hammer on his right leg below the
knee, and Mr. Fseemun, one fourth of a
mile east, was cut IsAssing from his barn to
the house and received q severe concussion
or blow on his left leg near sAe gEpin. He
is recovering from the lamsaess occasioned,
but day or two after he moved with great
difficulty.
Mr.. John Stanton informs us that in
that locality lightning pays its respects
quite often and pointed out numerous
stubs of trees as the evidences of its power
during the past few years, besides friend
ly call on his own barn doing more or less
damage.
The lager beer saloon limited at last week
as being fixture here, proves thus to be.
We have no ocular demonstration Of this,
only from the going in and out Of proper
subjects, and the screensry process Of the
glass front, and then every body says s'Ye
have a lager beer saloon In toWn,
Very many doubtless are ready to call
this harmless beverage, and business, but
very much depends on the status of the
patrons. We need not attempt the detail.
ing Of all the evil results Of such institu-
lions, they are too well known. Even to
take the habits Of large majority of the
usual patrons Of such places in the one
thing OF spending the money that they
ought to pay Their debts with, and it tells
enough, but it don't step there, and vet
your readers can read the story for them
selves.
One thing about this saloon, however
helps us in connection with another
item. Last Friday night Mr.. Bulls store
was menaeed. An attempt was made by
the cutting Of door sash to gain admit
tance. The parties were evidently green
hands and did not succeed in their design.
In all probability the most Of our Re.
publicans here viii hold to Garfield for an
other term. They all notice the programme
Of our jefferson friends and the question Of
time is all that is considered Of any impor'
tance to the cause. In fsct the common
remark is that we csnnot spare Garfield
yet, no matter II we do like Northway 8
Go. We own too much stock in Garfield
to invest elsewhere just now. These words
are emphatic snd mean business.

And, if Thou wilt, in tender pitying favor,
Hasten the time when we may rise and 60"

THE FAST MAIL.

LIE T <AoA HALL
The continuance of the fast mail which
some papers are making such fuss about,
exeites no feeling. 1t was humbng and
blunder from the first, and never was Of
any use to any class but the morning pa
pers of New York. Business closes here at
6 p. M, and all the mail for the day is put
into the Office at that hour. 1t leaves by
the regular express at $50, arriving at
Cleveland the next night at 2, at Toledo at
II: :35, and at Chicago at the next morning
at 8. Now the fast mail leaves New York
at in the morning, and gets into Cleve-
land, Toledo and Chicago, at practically the
same hour as the regular train. There was
in it no earthly use to the business men
either of the west or of the east, and the ex-
pense Of the extra traiP was an entire use
less expenditure. New York sends out
each week over $4,000 sacks Of mail matter
that originates in the city, besides the vast
amount Of matter that comes here for dis
tribution. But the Government ought not
to pay for special trains just to give the
New York papers an advantage over other
cities, and that was all the good effected by
the fast mail train. It is well if it is dead.
THE PNEUMATIC TUBE.
An experiment is being tried in this city,
or rather has been tried, that will work a
revolution in the transmission Of mail mat
ter. Hollow tubes have been laid from the
main offices of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company to its branches. In these
hollow tubes are placed leather toxes, con-
tanning messages-the air is exhausted, and
in second the dispatch is at the other end
Of the route. The Pneumatic tube is
cheaper than telegFaphing fer messages Of
any length, and as the experiment has
proven entirely successful, tubes are to be
laid to Philadelphia and Washington very
soon. The rate will be something more
than postage, of course, but It viii be moth
ing as compared to telegrapbing, as a four
page letter can be sent as cheaply as ten
words. Suppose the inventive genius of
the age should apply the idea 10 passenger
travell How would it seem to be boxed
up, put in tube, and sent from Chicago
to New York in an hourp It may come to
that.

stone cutters were out of work. and as they

BURGLARY.-J. Z. L'Hommedieu's cloth
ing store was entered on Saturday night
last, by cutting out a panel of the back
door. How much was taken it is not easy
to tell, but two strangers left town on an
early train the next morning, with new
suits and satchels, and as among the goods
missed were two satchels, couple of pairs
Of suspenders, and the same number of
shirts, the conclusion is rather probable
one, that those seen were the fellows,
and that they merely provided themselves
with an outfit apiece. The money drawer
was not disturbed, in which was some $40
or $50. While panel doors offer scarcely
any obstruction to man provided with a
good jacklknife. is it not a little singular
that they should be so commonly used?

THE HEAT AND HEALTH.
Never in the history OF the city has there
been so long a term of heat. For almost q
month the Thermometer has kept up into
the nineties, and for many days together
going up above a hundred; right along
through the night as well as day. The
mortality among children has been fright
fui. In the lower part of the city where
they are huddled together in badly ventila-
ted dens, where hundred exist in a room
insufficient for single family, the poor in
nOeents have died by the thousand. The
physicians and charities have done all that
was possible, but to little purpose. The
children could not live in an atmosphere
heated like furnace, in which air could
not come; and then their food was not
such as would enable them to stand the de-
bilitating effects of the heat, and so, de-
spite Of doctor and nurse, the little ones
went by the thousand. In one of those hu-
man hives in the lower part of the city,
one hundred and fifty children died during
the month

Physicians, who certainly ought to be the

whOlesme stimulation is not only desirable,
but essential in many instances. When the
temporary good efieot Of a sound stimulant
is confirmed and rendered permanent, as in
the case OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, by
the action of tonic and Alternative principles
combined with it, becomes an Infinitely more
eflcacious renovant of physical energy and
q corrective of those conditions Of the body
which invite disease. The Bitters have re-
