On Top of Pixies Peak.

Some curious natural phenomena are
witnessed from the summit Of Pik's Peak
Electric storms are so remarkable there
that those who have witnessed them are
eloquent as to their splendor Little
thunder accompanies them but the whole
mountain seems to be on fire, and the top
one sheet of fame Electricity comes
out of every rock, and darts here and there
with indescribablc radiance. An. OBJ
server says that it played around him
continuously shot down his back glanc-
ed out Of his feet, and so completely filled
him that he became charged like Leyden
jar. He could not retain bis foothold ;
he bounded and rebounded from the rocks
after the manner Of an india-rubber ball ;
he felt as though powerful battery were
throbbing and thrilling through his
frame, and fearing consequences, he hur-
ried into the signal station. The signal
officers stationed at the Peak see some
wonderful sights. and il they had as much
Imagination and rhetoric os they have
patience and power of observation, they
could furnish some very vivid dcscrip-
tons of what they witness Several men
of science who have watched electric
storms from the top Of the mountain,
think the phenomena the grandest and
most imposing, and they can hardly be
surpassed anywhere. The Peak COM
mands view of 100 miles radius, wild
mountainous region, containing many
lakes, and the sources of four great
rivers--thc Platte, Arkansas. Rio
Gronde, and Colorado Of California.
Imagine that broad, picturesque extent
kindled and glowing with electricity, and
you have an ideal picture Of sublimity
which no poet has begun 10 paint.

Special Notice.
MANY abuses have grown up under the
1Vl old system Of selling Sewing Machines
through 'Middlemen," whose cupidity has
often led them TO misrepresentation and fraud.
For the protection Of the public and our
selve we have aJaadoned this whole pernicious
system. We have abolished the "midde-
men and sell directly through our own sala.
ried agents, whom we are able 10 control.
We can thus give TO every purchaser Of a
Genuine Singer Sewing Machine the guar
anty OF company Of Is years standing, EN-
ploying .forty thousand men, that any machine
sold by a Singer agent is exactly what il is
represented. The difference between such a
guaranty and the guaranty Of an irresponsi-
BILE, hungry canvasser, whom The purchaser
has never seen before and may never see again
is too marked TO require comment.

Harrison, and when Harrison demanded
payment they quarreled and separated.
The following day, as Harrison was going
from his place of business to his dinner, he
met Dixon and one of his henehmen. They
passed each other without word being
spoken. When about six or eight PAGES

Dixon drew his pistol and fred, the bali

Harrison Immediately turned his face to
Dixon saying, You have manned me.
now do your best" and caught post to
keep from falling, and while in this position
Dixon coolly and deliberately fired four
more shots in the then wounded and dis
abled man, two of which passed entirely
through the body, and Harrison died 10
an instant. The fact that no less than two
thousand negroes and scarcely a white man
followed bis remains to the grave, is proof
sufficient that he had melted and infamed
the minds Of these ignorant people until
the white citizens feared for their property
and their lives.
