BROOKLYN, N. Y, July 1S.-S. Percy FL
lis, brother of Mrs. Sarah A. Dorsey, who
bequeathed by will all her property to Jeff
erson Davis, is resident of this city. Ellis
says Mrs. Dorsey was born at Woodlawn,
February 17th, 1929 and not in Natchez,
the city residence Of her parents. She was
the eldest of four children, two only of
whom are now alive, S. Percy and his sis
ter Ines. Their brother, Thomas Larache,
died soldier in the Confederate service.
In 1851 Sarah married son of Justin
Dorsey, Of Maryland. This gentleman died
in 1875. His widow then took up her resi-
dence at Beauvoir, on the Gulf, few miles
from Mississippi City. For two years the
Ex-President Of the Confederacy had been
a guest at this place. The property c"n-
veved to Davis is estimated to be worth
$3.50, ,OC0. He stated that Mrs. Dorsey's will
is to be contested, and steps have been al
ready taken toward that end.

OwENToN, KY, July 18-The arguments,

were resumed this morning, and will posi-

hardly probable, as the attorneys seem to

1t is said that DR.. Chipley, who testified
yesterday for the State and DR.. Bell, who
was the expert witness for the defense, had
an insanity bout in a Louisville court few
years ago. 1t that case Bells eide won, but
it is thought Chipley will win the horns in
this one, as the impression prevails that
Buford will be convicted.

to-day at the session OF the County Commission
ers:
"Whereas, The bond of the Treasurer OF Ham
ilton County. Ohio, being at present fixed at
90, 900, and in the opinion of the Commissioners
the SAID sum not being sufficient as 10 the response
bilities OF the said Office, therefore,

February 10Th, 1879 counted the funds OF the
County in the Treasurer'S office and found the

trials nave recently been made in Naples
of Pennsylvania anthracite coal for smelt-
ing iron. The experiments proved success
full, and the Reading Company think they
can compete with British coke, now used

indirectly as to whether he would accept
the position if rendered to him. Mr. Ram

"A correspondent Of the Herald and
Globe, says:
eve read of the ligbtning's path, and
II literally makes paths al times. We
had marked instance of this at mid
night, July 9, on the farm of II. b. Tot
tingham. In the midst of grand and
incessant displays of electric power,
there was one surprising all others,
and rarely witnessed anywhere. There
seems to have been but one bolt of fire,
striking an ash tree about fifty feet
high, 2 l-2 feet round, shivering nearly
the whole treo to pieces; taking TWEEN
ty feet of the top entirely Off; carrying
splinters five feet long and six inches
through rods away in nearly every di.
rection. As the tree stand on lime
stone ledge, the electric current met
with sharp resistance when il struck
the ground. Here begins its more
wonderful work. 1t branches in eight
different directions, running over the
rocks, tearing up firmly bedded stones,
then under ground several feet at a
time, then out again, striking seven diff
ferent trees from the bottom upward.
as the torn bark clearly indicates, and
also the fact that grass and sods were
foundand ore are seenin the tree. The
path along the ground was zigzag, from
one inch to two inches, sometimes
three inches across, to the size of q fur
row, distinctly seen to-day, proceeding
from the centrally stricken tree. The
Furthermore tree struck from the GEN.
ter was about seven rods, where the
turf is found in its branches. The dis
lance at which the force seemed to have
spent itself was nearly seven rods, in
the direction of the four cardinal
points of the sompass. Observing Sow
eral other trees in the vicinity, struck |
in former yevrs, our theory is that |
there may be mineral deposits as the |
cause.
