BETTER THAN A LIGHTNING ROD.

from the saltwater Lumberman.
The Lumberman recently noticed
orieny, that during a Sunday evemne
this r'slofm several young men OF
TINS city, who happened to be at the
time i'll the parlors of their neighbors
aad sheltered their neighbors'
daughters by holding them on thei,
laps and that all who tried the ex.
pertinent had escaped any injury from
Mgntnlng. We are surprised to no.
ice ina this has attracted a good
deal Of attention from newsnsnou
men all over the country. It is by
no means a novel experiment. and
the TACT that it has called out so much
comment indicates that editors do
not Keep such close watch on the
OF scientific research as they
;nouiu. The experiment was tried
TO u personal knowledge, and with
most satisfactory results.

AMERICAN CUTLERY IN SHEFFIELD

"A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing from Birmingham, Eng
land, says that recently a leading man
ufacturer in Sheffield showed his work
men an assortment of American made
goods, and, taking up a pair of t%ailor's
shears, offered to give the union $50 if
any one OF his men, in a month, would
produce one pair of shears as good as
the American sample.

A Chicken Case.

Three young nen roasted gingerly
upon the outward edge Of the dock
bench at Police Court last night, while
q witness named James Hannah related
a romantic little story of how he had
caught the three at his mothers chick
en- coop, about 2 O'Clock last Tuesday
morning, and how all alone he had
charged down upon them and after a
terrific struggle succeeded in driving
the three away and saving the family
pullets. Chas. b. Lore, who was coun-
sci for the young men, asked James
whether he himself had not stolen the
chickens and offered them for sale to
different parties. James became indig-
nant, and denied ever having offered
anyone so much as an egg in way Of
barter. Mr.. Lore called half-dozen
witnesses, who each testified that jim
my had offered at different times to sell
them chickens, and it being also proved
that James was a little "cracked," aud
an inveterate "ibber," the young men,
against whom there was not even the
shadow of a suspicion outside of James
diseased brain, were discharged.

Elegant Harness.

We were yesterday shown SET of
extra heavy express harness, manu-
factured by Mr.. Charless L. Parker,
whose establishment is at Second and
King streets. The leather used in the
construction of this set is extra heavy
oak tanned, highly polished, and fin
ished with heavy brass mountings.
They are the property of Mr.. Dean, of
Stanton. In addition to the above Mr..
Parker a few days since delivered a
beautiful dou BILE set of carriage harness,
silver mounted, to Mr.. George G. Lob
dell, for whose use they were construct
ed. He has also lately delivered sew
eral sets of extra fine single carriage
harness to agentleman of this city, who
had them made for a friend in the
West. In fact in d quiet unostenta-
tious way Mr.. Parker has been build
ing a reputation for excellent workman
ship in horse clothing that has not only
spread beyond our city and state, but
is being recognized by horse owners
to that gentleman's advantage.

Remarkably Quick Work.

This morning at about quarter past
seven O'Clock, a grain barge was launch
ed by the Jackson & Sharp Company,
and in twenty minutes after she first
struck tbe water the vessel was on her
way to Philadelphia. The barge which
was built by the Jackson & Sharp Com
pany for Peter Wright & Sons of Pbila-
delphia, is llS feet long, has 10 feet
depth of hold, and will carry 10000
bushels of grain. She has been chris
tened Fanny" and is expected that
she will be loaded with grain before
night. This is certainly doing things
