Two Barns Struck by Lightning and De


Two Barns Struck by Lightning and De-
strOyed.
During the storm on Saturday after
noon, which was rather severe in the east
end of the county and accompanied by
some hail, a large barn owned by GOtt lieb
Grillibortzer and located in Leacock town.
ship, about two miles north of Intercourse,
was struck by lightning and completely
destroyed, together with part Of it's con-
tents. The building, large frame
structure some 4Ox7O feet, stood facing
the south, and the lightning struck
it at the western end, the bolt en-
tering the roof and setting fire
to the hay inside. Although it was rain
ing at the time, the flames spread rapidly,
and nothing could be done by the neigh
bors who quickly gathered, but save what
of the contents could be gotten out of the
lower part of the building. OF these, all
of Mr.. Grillibortzer's farming utensils,
some 60 bushels Of wheat, harness, wagons
and carriages were saved. No live stock
was burned, as three horses in the stable
were gotten out and the cattle were in the
pasture-field The balance of the contents,
consisting of about 90 tons of hay, $50
bushels of threshed wheat, and 100 bushels
of corn were burned. Attached to the
barn buildings on the west side was a
wagon shed, and ON the east side large
courthouse, both of which were destroyed
In fact the flames made a clean sweep. A
visit to the scene yesterday afternoon
showed absolutely nothing left but the
cracked and broken foundation walls and
ashes, not a vestige of the timbers being
seen, and even the sills, windows and
door-caps set in the walls burned out.
Around, the fruit and shade trees were
scorched and blackened, and it was with
difficulty the house and other build
ings were saved. Mr.. Grillibortzer's loss
will probably reach $4,000, on which
he carried no insurance, as he be-
longs to sect of Mennonites, known
as the "New Lights" who believe not in
such things. Neither had the barn the
protection of lightning rod. The struc-
ture, though quite an old one, having
been erected some As years ago, was a
good substantial one. in excellent repair.
1t will be rebuilt at once, the contract for
the stone work being already awarded.
Barn Burned in Warwick.
On Saturday afternoon barn which be-
lOnged to Mrs. Doster, wife of Daniel
Doster, deceased. who resides in Warwick

and entirely destroyed by fire,
together with a new tobacco shed, 100
bushels of wheat and lot of farming i'm
plements. The barn was formerly used as
a distillery and lot of apparatus used in
that business were burned. The buildings
were insured in the Penn Township mu-
tual, but the insurance will not cover the
loss.

PERSONAL.

On the arrival at Bellefonte on Friday
evening of General JAMES A. BEAVER,
delegate to Chicago, he was met by a large
delegation of citizens and escorted through
the town.
Ex-senator JAMES A. BAYARD died at
o'clock yesterday morning after being un-
conscious for several hours. He had been
sinking gradually for several days, his
death being hastened by a fall received as
he was descending the stairs on Thursday
a week. There were present at the time
of his death Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, Dr..
j. X. Kane and wife, a daughter of the
deceased, and Benjamin Lockwood and
wife, of New York, the latter also a daugh-
ter of the deceased. The funeral will take
place tomorrow.
A New Orleans correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Post writes to it that elf any
Democrat can carry New York and Penn
would carry the Southern states, and
simply because every Southern man, black
and white, would have confidence in his
justice. judgment and intiexible integrity
and manly courage. His name would be
a tower of strength to his party, for as men
prefer diamond to less valuable stones, or
rubbish, so do they love to rally around
and fight under the banner of noble he
roic leader"
The Albuquerque On. M.) Golden Gate
brings us the news that Twenty 50 seven
hundred dollars in gold to the ton by
actual test" is what the owners of the
Star mine located in He'll Canon will
answer if you ask them what the ore from
the mine runs. The mine was found by
w. T. STRACHAN, formerly of Lancaster ;
he and Spaniard went out and got a
sack full of ore which was brought to town
and washed and poured out at the above
rate Strachan is one of the owners of
the mine.
On Feb. 10, 1878, with the report and all
the evidence before it, the New York Times
thus spoke of the present candidate for the
presidency: "Of the members referred to
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present a most
distressing figure. Their participation in
the Credit Mobilier affair is complicated
by the most unfortunate contradictions of
testimony, which the committee do not
undertake to unravel. The only possible
comment on their cases is that had they
taken perfectly upright course in the
matter and refused to have anything to do
with the stock, no occasion for contradic
ton could have arisen"
Stephen S. Remak, after being with Mr..
HORATIo SEYMOUR at his home for several
hours, telegraphs to the Philadelphia
Times that he is authorized to say that
Mr.. Seymour believes that he is physically
not sufficiently strong to fill the Office of
president of the United States with justice
to the cause of the people. 'Our CONVEX
sation covered everything within the
bounds of statesmanlike politics. Mr..
Seymour has become, if possible, since
1868, when 1 was at Deerfield, still
brighter luminary in the discussion of
things and men. He is apparently strong,
even physically, but the country has to
take his word that he is not. His views l
cannot give till shall be authorized.
That may take place in few days.

The TitusvilIe Fire.


The Titusville fire so far has burned over
$50 acres of ground and at present is con-
sidered under control, but it is liable at
any time to break out worse. On Satur-
day two tanks were struck bv
lightning, which added fresh fuel 10
the seething mass of flames, but help from
Cory, Oil City, Warren and Erie, kept
the fire from spreading. Tanks have been
riddled with cannon and the oil let out to
prevent fire and explosion.
A Is, 900 barrel tank caved in and sent
the oil into the creek, which was high,
owing to a heavy rain storm last evening.
The flames along the creek for three-quar-
ters of a mile rose to a height of five hun
dred feet, making scene of the widest
confusion and grandeur. For about ten
minutes it looked as if the whole town
would 60, but only burned three or for +
small buildings. So far about forty build
ings have been burned and about $3.50, 600
barrels of oil destroyed.

CONCERNING the possibility of select
ing any other than straight Democrat
as the nominee for president at Cincin-
natl. the popular sentiment of the party
is admirably phrased by the Western
man who says Senator David Davis can
sing with us but he must not expect to
lead the choir.

SENATORS VOORHEES, and ingalls, had
quite spat in the Senate on Saturday.
Voorhees, accused the Republicans Of mas

apology and forgiveness and the associated

MILE. JULIETTE COURBET, sister of
Gustave Courbet, the French painter and
revolutionist, and legally his sole heir, has
gone to Paris to negotiate compromise
about the three hundred thousand francs
that NJ. Courbet was condemned to pay for
pulling down the column of the Place
Vendome. The judgment Of the court
allowed him thirty years time in which to
pay the amount. Mile. Courbct is willing
to pay one-half of the money down for a
receipt in full, and promises to devote the
surplus to fine art prizes. In her negOtia-
tions she has the advantage, as NJ. Cour-
bets most valuable pictures are at her
house in Switzerland, and if her offer is
not accepted the treasury may get moth

AFTER Mr.. Hayes was nominated at
Cincinnati Mr. Conkling did not speak to
him, and since he has been inaugurated
Mr.. Conkling has not been to the White
House, has not seen Mr.. Hayes, and has
asked no favor of the administration. Mr..
COnkling, after the nomination of Garfield
at Chicago, went to his room at the hotel
and locked himself in, and later he paid no
attention to an intimation that Mr.. Gar
field would like to see him. In the Hayes
campaign Conkling, although he made one
speech, never once mentioned Hayes name.
That he has never spoken to him since his
nominations is we'll known, nor has he signed
letter of Recommendation to Office. Hayes
was weak enough once to invite him to a
state dinner, and Conkling was boor enough
to pay no attention to the invitation.

is for the soul. 1t is through the spirit,
or spiritual life, that the soul is elevated
to it's right relation to God and enabled to
reach its proper character and destiny.
There is supernatural, spiritual world.
corresponding to the natural order of the
universe, in which is a higher revelation
of the life of God than that of which we
are conscious throug gh the natural activities
of the soul. This is the world of substan-
tial, eternal realities, of which the natural
world is a shadow or picture. 1t is the
world that mans life has its hidden springs,
from which it derives its true nOurishment,
without which the whole order of the uni
verse could not subsist for single mo-
ment. This world alone is abiding, while
the whole natural order is continually
passing away. The sphere of the spirits
working is deeper than our natural con-
sciousness. We cannot subject it to the
study or investigation of our ordinary
knowledge. Only those who are spiritually
alive in us are subject to experience, but
the manner of its working is and remains
an unfathomable mystery.
There is a veil that conceals this super
natural world from the natural vision, and
when our vision is closed to all earthly
scenes the eye of the soul will open upon
the wondrons realities of that higher
world.
By this spiritual life all mems motives,
intentions and actions, are continually
measured and judged. The real impor-
tance and value of these are determined by
the relation in which they stand to this
supernatural order of existence. Hence
