During the heavy shower Saturday after
noon, the lightning struck the steeple of st.
Marks church. the bolt entering the spire at
the top, then running down to the belfry, stove
one of the corner supports of the spire 20
splnters, setting fire TO the same, then went
through the roof near the bell making hole
about four inches in diameter. There are no
indications of damage below here, and the
bolt probably passed out at a window which
happened to be open, few feet below the
belfry. The spire was completely rddled,
and splinters were thrown in all directions.
The fire in the support to the belfry was cas-
lily extinguished by few pals Of water.
Several persons in the vicinity were thrown
down, and others, at a greater distance, were
considerably affected. Mr. Ed. Myrick, who
lives close by the church, was pitching hay
in his stable chamber. and was thrown yio-
lently down, and the pitch-fork knocked out
of his hands. His wife, who was in the house,
was also Frustrated. At Reeds stable, Mr..
10. Dolliver was sent "a-spinning," and Al.
Reed was considerably shaken.

The Washington Post shows how much
it knows of the agricultural problem in
the following paragraph, which it offers
in the way of a consolatory prophecy:
It should reconcile the average reader
to tho intense heat which we are now
enduring to reflect that, without it there
could be no corn. A hot Summer means
an abundant corn crop, and plenty of
that cereal will give the country cheap
whisky. This should be satisfying to the
natural man.
Our contemporary should remember
that heat is only one of the essen
tials for a good crop year, and that a
sufficient quantity of moisture is equally
necessary. Therefore, as there have
been very long and widespread droughts
throughout the corn-growing section, it
is likely to result in short crop, and
the fact that heat is one of the elements
~ production, does not make us rejoice
at its presence when the other necessary
elements are absent. Our contemporary
had as we'll go to hungry man who has
plenty of fire but no dough, and con-
graduate him upon the fine bread he will
have. Heat is one of the necessary ele-
meuts in making good bread, but it does
not amount to mnch without the dough
to bake; so it is that heat will not make
much corn without it is accompanied by
a good amount of moisture.

Attempted Murder i'm Greenyille.

A most brutal attempt was made on
night before last by some unknown vii
lain to take the life of our esteemed young
townslnan, John NJ. Timmons, step-son
of DR.. J. w. Norwood. The report OF
the cowardly outrage which circulated
Yesterday with the wind, caused much
excitement, and eager inquiry was made
on every hand for the particulars of the
affair, and after the welfare of the woun-
ded man.
Seeking the most reliable source of in
formation TO gather the facts of the case,
we sought DR.. Norwood, and from him we
gathered the following particulars: Mr..
Timmons is a member of the Greenville
Guards, and was in line with the Compa-
ny to meet and receive the Sumter Guards
from Charleston OH day before yesterday
afternoon. After the reception, and after
the Companies had dispersed, Mr.. Tim
mons went home about II o'clock, to pre-
pare for trip to the mountains yesterday,
spending some time in packing his bud
get, and making necessary preparations
for the trip. About o'clock he retired to
bed in his room on the second floor. lie
had been in bed but few minutes when
he heard the tin roof crack OH the up
stairs portico when he took the pains to
see what it meant, and seeing nothing he
retired, leaving the lamp burning. The
cracking on the tin roof was again indls-
tinctly heard, but this time Mr.. Tim
mons paid no attention 10 it, and was
soon fast asleep. From this time MIR.
Timmons has no clear recollection Of
what happened. At near 2 o'clock DR..
and Mrs. Norwood were aroused by Mr..
Timmons' appearance down stairs call
ing "Fathcr, Father, come here" DIR.
Norwood sprang from his bed to find
young Timmons laboring under consider
able mental excitement, almost insensi-
BILE, with a great cash in the right side
of his neck and his right arm paralyz-
ed. During the excitement that en-
sued the would-be murderer made his
escape down the back steps and through
an open window.
Mr. Timmons was taken into his
mothers bed room and medical aid sum-
moned. The servants were fastened up
stairs to Mr.. Timmons' room where
MaNcy lluiWoISj SouHScl DiothSi,
and Barrett Rowland also slept. On
Mr.. Timmons' bed was found an axe,
with which the almost fatal blow was
struck. Mr.. Timmons, who was more or
less rational yesterday, has vague rccol-
lections Of struggle with some one in
the room, hut nothing is clear to his
mind. The most PLAUSIBLE theory is,
that the assassin was secreted, probably,
outside of the baluster of the portico,
and awaited his opportunity to destroy
the life of his victim at one fell blow, in
which he failed, and failing in the first
attempt, commotion ensued, and in his
precarious situation, made hasty es-
cape. Mr.. Timmons had money about
his person, which was afterwards found
concealed inside the bosom of his shirt.
The object of the thief was doubtless
robbery, and to make sure of his game,
thought with one stroke to accomplish
his purpose noiselessly. Near the win

a telegram from Albany, New York,
on last Saturday, says: San explosion
took place on the steamer Drew last
night while on the way from New York
to this city. Several cans of powder had
been placed in the state-room, and fuse
attached to each. The state-room was
shattered, and the wood work in the
vicinity of the explosion was badly dam
aged, but fortunately no person was in
jured. The lights were all extinguished
and there was the widest excitement for
few moments. A man who gave his
name as Henry Evans was arrested on
board this morning on suspicion of being
the person who caused the explosion"
1t really does look like all of the law
lessness of the country does not reside
South of Mason and Dixon's line. The
Times or Tribune either might preach
sermon over this attempt to destroy sew
eral hundred persons, simply for the fun
of an explosion, which would be as in
teresting and powerful as any of their
discourses on the "bloody shirt" horrors
of the South. The only trouble, we
presume, is that the crimes committed in
their midst are frequently SO heinous that
it would be impossible to 10 the subject
justice, and therefore they do not under
take the hopeless task, but ply their lee
lures to the South over cases which they
feel equal to the task of properly COM
menting upon.
