Society circles at Seymour, Ind,
were never more profoundly shocked
than when Ernest Umbright and wife,
of Redding township, were arrested.
They were charged with stealing from
some neighbors large amount of bacon,
wheat, corn, sacks, queensware, pre-
serves, and sundry other articles. Much
of the stolen property was found on the
premises of defendants. They were ar
raigned and locked upin private room.
The officer in charge stepping aside a
moment, Umbright crawled through the
tranSom over the door and broke for the
tall timber, since which nothing has
been heard of him. The woman gave
bond in 5000 and was released. She is
the owner of good farm, where she
lives, and until last June was one of the
most gay and dashing widows jackson
County could scrape up.

Trees and Lightning.

Professor Colladon, of Geneva, pup
lisbed the conclusion several years ago
that when lightning strikes tree II Is
received on the ends of the branches,
which, being excellent conductors, lead
il. without suffering disturbance, down
TO the larger limbs. Thenceit descendS
IN tbe main limbs and the trunk, whose
conducting power, intrinsically inferior
to that of the smaller andyounger shoots
of the top, is insufficient to sustain the
concentrated force of the currents which
have united here from the thousand
channels by which they have so lar de-
scended. Here, then, generally appear
the first marks of the shock, not because
the lightning has struck the tree at mat
nIace. as might be specifically suppos-
ed, but because the conducting powers
of the tree begin to fail at this point;
This view was satisfactorily confirmed
bv the effect of the lightning upon a
poplar tree which was struck at Gene
va ON the 9TH of May, 1880. The young,
tender leaves of the main topmoSt
branch of this tree and of the branches
Immediately below it were torn up into
small fragments, which strewed the
Ground below them, as if they had un-
dergone a violent shock of air, such as
would be produced by an explosion OF
dynamite. Many trees may be compar-
ed, in respect to their power to conduct
electricity, to structures OF wood or ma
sourv. which are well furnished with
conductors on their upper part, but with
which no conducting connection with
the ground is given. If such a building
we're struck with lightning, its upper
part would not be hurt, while its lower
part would suffer badly. The dan
GER of being struck by lightning to
which persons standing under tree are
exposed is thus accounted for. The
TOP of the tree, bristling with conducting
twigs, attracts the lightning; the cur
rent, meeting with non-conducting OBJ
stacles at the trunk, jumps from it to the
surrounding bodies, whether they be
bushes or men and animals. Of two
persons, one standing under the tree,
the other sitting among the limbs at the
top, the latter would be in vastly safer
position. Birds having nests in trees
are rarely struck by lightning, and their
nests are hardly ever damaged. Large
trees growing near house will protect
it from lightning, provided there is no
pond or well or stream beyond the house
to attract the current across it. If the
water is on the same side of the house
as the tree, or the tree is between it and
the house, or has a rod attached to it,
the protection is almost perfect. When
a vineyard is struck by lightning, the
leaves over a large circuit will, a few
hours or days afterward, appear dis
colored, showing that the electrical ac-
ton has taken place in diffused man.
ner, and not in a concentrated attack.
In such cases hundreds or even thou
sands of vines may be affected, showing
palpably that it is the property of light
ming to manifest itself upon the whole
top of tree or plot of vegetation. In
his memoir on the subject, M. Coiladon
mentions a single stroke of lightning
which left its traces on more than two
thousand things.-POpular Science

Medicines.


DR.. j. H. ScHENcK:
Dear Sir-I write this to give you an ac-
count of the cure of my mother by your medi-
cines. Six years ago, from the effects OF a
heavy cold, she was reduced very low with
Consumption, and was pronounced incurable
by her physician. She had terrible cough,
and some of her coughing spells would last
SO long that she would turn black in the face
and often raise as much as a pint Of blood at
time. When she was first taken sick she
was quite stout, but from the loss Of bloodby
hemorrhages, and loss of sleep, she was at
last reduced to almost a skeleton. While in
this terrible condition, | happened to read
your advertisement in an -0sWegn, N Y pa
per, where we were living at this time. The
statements of those who mad used your medi-
cines seemed so candid and reasonable that
we concluded to give them trial, and l can
truly say, that by coming to this conclusion
my mothers life was saved from Consunp-
tive's grave. She commenced by using all
your remedies, as directed By you, and We
soon saw a marked improvement in all her
symptoms In conclusion will say, that she
continued their use until she was entirely
well, regaining her former weight and
strength. Yours respectfully

February 9TH, 1881.
Ten years ago contracted a severe cold,
which brought me very low. l went from
one doctor to another, getting prescriptions
from each, but the medicines they prescrib-
ed seemed to do me no good. kept getting
worse and worse, until at last l became so
weak that If 1 went any distance from my
house 1t seemed that I would never be able
to get back. Twas in despair, and had al
most given up all hope of recovery. As a
last resort, went to Strope's Drug Store, in
this city, and asked him if he had any medi-
cine that would help me. He said he had,
and he was so confident of it that he said,
"Here, take this bottle Of DR.. Schenck's Pull
monic Syrup, and if it does you no good you
need not pay for it.n / took the bottle home
and commenced using it, as you directed, and
it worked like magic. By the time 1t was
gone, felt very much better, and so got
another bottle which completed the cure.
l have since used the Pulmonic Syrup in
nay family many times with the best results.
l have also recommended it to many friends,
