Lightning Strokes.

Professor Colladon, of Geneva, has
made some interesting observations on
the course of lightning when it strikes
trees and houses. He holds that the
great discharges which injure trees
and houses seldom or never happen
while the lightning has an unobstruc-
ted course-which it has along the
thin upper branches of trees, where
birds and their nests are often left I'M
injured by its descent. BUTT is where
the electric current reaches the thick
stem that the tree becomes a worse
aud worse conductor, and it is here.
therefore, that the tree is what is
called struck. e., here that the cleo
tricity, failing TO find an unobstructed
channel to the earth, accumu-
lates in masses, and gives out
shocks which rend the tree.
And the same is true of houses
whose lightning-conductors stop short
of the ground. Professor CUlladon
has also shown that the close neigh
borhood of pool of water is a great
attraction to the electric current, and
that the electricity often passes down
a house or tree till it is near enough to
dart straight across to the water and
he thinks that where possible, light
ming conductors should end in a spring
or pool Of water. Professor Coliadon
believes that lightning descends rather
in a shower-through a multitude oil
vines, for instance, in the same vine
yard-than in a single main stream.
II divides itself among all the upper
branches Of a tree, and is received
from hundreds Of atmospheric points
at once, instead Of, as has been usually
supposed, from one. Electricity is a
rain, a number Of tributaries from a
wide surface, not a single torrent.

In the recorders court this fore
noon, Mr.. John 0verton presiding,
Mr.. Thos. Barrett was fined one dol
lar for cruelty to a raw-necked mule,
and the recorder remarked that he
trusted in his heart never to see Mr..
Barrett in that court again. Mr.. Bar
rett employed Counsellor Gillian to
defend his case, so with lawyers fee,
court cost, etc., etc., he is out a dozen
dollars at least. Mr.. Lane appeared
in behalf Of the society for the preven-
ton of cruelty to animals. and in his
pleadings for suffering mules, said he
had no desire to prosecute the railway
man. AS an evidence of his earnest
ness in this direction he offered to pay
the entire thirty dollars Mr.. Barrett
has at various times beeen fined, pro
vided he would cease putting sick
sore and wind shackled animals in hi
cars and forced to work when they
are unfit to do so. The trial Of the
case this forenoon excited considerable
interest and much sport was afforded
to all except the sore-backed mule.

the accidental killing OF William Ross, a
young man we'll known In this city, who
resides in the upper pol,ion OF Lancaster
county, near the State line, during the
storm day before yesterday afternoon. y
correspondent at Pineyille furnishes these
particulars Of the sad affair Mr.. Ross
was a farmer and was In his field when he
observed the storm approaching. He hur-
ried to the house as quickly as possible and
on arriving at the dwelling found his mother
at the we'll vainly endeavoring to get back
to the house. Leaving his team, he went
to her assistance and succeeded in getting
her safely into the house. He then thought
Of his team and returned to the farm yard,
meeting his hired man, who informed him
that the horses had been put up. Mr..
Ross turned about and made for the dwell
ing. He had gotten to perhaps within
twenty yards of the house when a tree stand
ing near snapped, and descending fell on the
unfortunate young man and crushed him to
the earth. He lived only a few moments.
Mr.. Ross was = model young man, about
twenty-four years old, noble and pure, and
beloved by al who knew him.-Charlotte
