Three Planets New Bof,.ra the
PubIIc.

The spectacle presented by Venus,
Jupiter and Saturn grows more at
tractIve every evening. Venus and
Jupiter are fast approaching each
other, and on next Monday night
they will be ia conjunction, shining
only little over three degrees apart.
Old Saturn looks as II he hal fallen
behind in the race, and he has also
dropped oct Of line with the others.
Next week, however, he will assume
such a position that the three planets
will mark the corners Of a little tri-
angle.
With the telescope the view OF
these planets is exceedingly beautiful.
Venus begins to show the crescent
form, and may be watched with low
magniiying power long before sun
set. A slight turn Of the tube, and
Jupiter, with bis attendant moons,
sails into the Geld ofview. Another
turn brings Saturn upon the scene
His splendid rings arc opening wider
every month. The narrow division
between them looks like a black line
Of enamel upon a golden band.
Those who wish to study these
wonderful planets should not let sliT
the present opportunity, for before
the spring is over they will oil have
disappeared from the evening sky
Mercury.

A Lightning HOLT Writing Gods
Name ON a Ksiaaphemer.


Some Of our contemporaries seeiL
disposed 10 question the truth ofour
statement that negro man who was
killed by lightning last summer, in
Campbell county bad the letters
"GOD" on bis body Dr. Thomas
E Moorman. whose post Office J.
dress is Mt Zicn, Campbell county,
furnished the Richmond, Advocate
IN account Of the circumstances, as
follows:
"0n the evening OF the 9th instant,
Perry Jones and George Brown, col
ored men, notoriously the most pro-
tane, wicked persons ia the whole
community, with three other colored
persons, took refuge durirg the rain,
accompanied by good deal OF light
ming and thunder, in q tobacco barn
on the land Of Mr.. George Creasey.
From their several positions one
would have thought that two Of the
others we're in more, and the third
in as much danger, as Jones and
Brown we're. They, as their custom
was, we're engaged in cursing and
swearing Suddenly the lightning
descended upon them, and, while the
other three we're comparatively unin-
ilred, Jones was killed and Brown
stricken down senseless and almost
lifeless for a time. lie revived after
a few minutes, and soon seemed to
have regained all Of his strength. but
was dumb and bsreft OF his mind for
several hours. The lightning had set
irs his clI thign sni he was burned
on his chest and left side and arm
before the fire was extinguished In
his maniac efforts to free himself from
those who we're restraining him, the
skin was rubbed from the burned
flesh, and presented the following
characters, GOD. A very close rep
resentation, to say the least Of them,
Of the capital letters used in printing
the name Of Deity, while around and
between them the skin was unmoved
aud apparently not burned The
above characters occupied the angles
Of an equilateral triangle, which, as
you are doubtless aware, was in an
cient days the symbol Of Deity.
This man, then, appears to have been
branded with the name OF his Creator
in the symbolic language, It may be,
Of bis forefathers three thousand
years ago, and in the printed Ian
guage Of the nation to which be
belongs"

into q contract with the government

Christmas, although previous to that

letter he inclosed his will, and stated
that the enemy we're advancing, and

With alarm. He is believed to have
