The OsccOta County Outline, of last
Friday, says: Lighting played havoc
with the Heart iioase, last Monday
night. The residence is occupied by n.
Yerks and family. LIciily Mr.. AM
Mrs. Yerks were absent at Chase, or
they might not now be alive, as the
full force of the lighting was displayed
In their sleeping room. The storm Oc-
Cured at about midnight, and the
lightning struck first the chimney on
the main building, scattering the bricks
Oh level with the roof; then it seems
to have divided; ~ heavy explosion oc-
cured in the bedroom upstairs usually
occupied 10y Mr.. and Mrs. Yerks; In
this room the plasteriny was torn off a
space of about feet square, making a
large hole through to the roof through
which the rain poured; displaced the
stove pipe; unjointed the washstand;
and doing general smash business,
passed partly out over the top of the
window aud part down the stove pipe
In the parlor, bursting open the stove,
then the outside larlor door and so out
of the house. Another bolt penetrated
the kitchen tearing II hole In the wall,
filling the room with rubbish, and
passed down the cistcrn pump. A part
of the lightning, also, followed the
eavetroughs and pipes, bursting two
holes through the tin, rs II u large bull
let had been shot through. Miss Ber-
tina was asleep up stairs in the room
adjoining thar of her parents, and was
awakened 10y the noise, but not injured;
her two younger brothers, being asleep
in u room down stairs, were not mater
ially affected either. II was u remark
ably narrow escape for all; and 1t is
strange the building did not take fire."
The Pentwater Ne,os, of last Thurs
day, says: "On Saturday morning Al
bert Sperry, u resident Of this village,
and sailor OF board the NORTH Star,
while ut work among the sails above
the cross trees, sonie sixty-tive feet
above the top Of the deck-load, lost his
balance and fell the entire distance
without u break, striking upon the
lumber Oh the deck with such force rs
to leave tl,. imprint Of bis feet in the
lumber ns though 1t had been sand.
TIC fall broke one leg in two places
anil fractured his skull from which In
jurics lie died Oh Suu.lay morning ut
seven o'clock. While falling 1t was
noticed that lie attempted To throw
himself clear of the vessel, hut was un-
allie u do so. His little 10y whom lie
WAS taking with him To- Chicago, Was
standing upon the lumber and narrow
Iy escaped being struck. Mr.. Sperry
had bern sixteen years sailor, some
six years from this port, and was :lir-
ty-tlirc. years Of age the day before
his death. lie has ~ brotlfer who Is a
sailor, aud who sustained ~ like fall .
few years ago but who survived III
though terribly crippled. lie leaves u

On Wednesday Ia tan Italian named
John Balatieri, a resident of Cham b. rs.
burg, q suburb of Trenton, who waf
living at Asbury ark, was found to
be suffering from smallpox. In ord u
not to create an excitement, the author.
tiles procured two Trenton men 10 drive
the sick man to Treton, but they got
lost IN the pines, and reached Freehold
next morning at o'clock. Procuring
ticket for Trenton, they placed the
sick Italian on train crowded with
passengers, on which he rode to that
city. He was found wandering upon
the streets by the Health Inspector,
who conveyed him to the small pox
hospital.
When the two men returned to Az
bury Park the secret leaked out and
there was considerable excitement.
Four men who had been with the sick
man were ordered to leave the city and
two Of them went TO Trenton. This
doubly incensed the Trenton authori-
ties, and they had the men arrested and
lodged In the small pox camp.
A telegram was sent to the clerk Of
the Board Of Health Of Asbury Park,
asking the meaning Of the action OF
that body. On Saturday letter was
received from the clerk, which set
forth that the man had been at the
Park tor only day or two, and that
he had been sent to his legal place Of
residence.
1t is probable that the two men will
be sent back as well AZ the patient, and
that the authorities of Asbury Park
will be prosecuted under the law rela-
tive to contagious diseases.

Raising strawberries.

Peter Henderson gave TO the recent
nurserymen's meeting at Dayton an
account of his mode of raising straw.
berries in pots for planting out, by
which he has grown over an acre OF
this fruit alternated with vegetables,
As soon as the plants cease bearing and
the beds are well forked up, the run.
ners at once commence forming early
in July. Small pots, about two and q
half inches in diameter, are filed with
soil and sunk to level with the sur.
face.
The strawberry layer is then placed
on the pots and held there with small
stone, the stone holding the plant to its
place and marking the spot. The pots
will be filled with the roots in ten or
twelve days, when the connection with
the parent plant is cut; the pots are
taken up and all placed close together,
and shaded and watered for few days
before setting out. Not one plant in a
thousand need fail by this treatment.
A good workman, after some expert
ence, will layer 1000 in day. A good
crop is thus obtained in less than q
year from planting, in connection with
vegetables.

The Concert Last Might

One of the most enjoyable public of
fairs that has ever been held in this
city, took place last night in front OF
the Court House. The event was the
inauguration of open air concerts by
the First Regiment Rand, a musical
organization of this city, and for which
she should be proud. Thousands of
people assembled in the neigborhood
and so great was the jam that 1t was
with difficulty the performers could
play.
For over an hour they discoursed
some excellent music, taking thair SO.
lections from some Of the most popular
operas, such ss the opera of Martha,
Olivette, &c. pheasant Memories" ga
medley introducing a number of popu.
lar airs and the Inauguration Galop
were pleasing features. Their efforts
were highly appreciated and they were
greeted with numerous plaudits.
The concert was q success, and II a more
suitable place could be found where the
crowd would not annoy the players,
these open air concerts would be given
once week throughout the warm
weather. The members of this orRani-
cation certainly deserve credit for thsir
excellent playing, and the citizens
should do all In their power to encour-
age them.

Besides the cases mentioned else.
where, there we're two young men heard
before the Mayor last evening, on the
charge of disorderly conduct in the vi
cinity of the old Swedes' Church. They
were each fined 81 and costs.
This morning Samuel Heisel was
charged by his wife with being drunk
and disorderly and fined 81 and costs.
John G. Adams was paid off last
night, and after getting pretty drunk
became involved in q row which re-.
suited in his being landed in a cell.
The Mayor imposed a fine of 81 and
COSTS
Benjamin Barker admitted that when
the officer found him Ire was too drunk
to take care of himself, and the Mayor
charged him so cents and costs for the
trouble the officer had in taking care
Of him.
Two young girls named Ella Jones,
and Ssllie Evans, were charged by an
old lady named Mrs. Farley with an
noying her and using threatening and
abusive language.
Mrs. Farley testified that she resides
on Water street between Shipley and
Orange streets, and Ella Jones has been
in the habit of coming after her 500
John, who is only minor. A few
evenings since the girls had him out on
the corner until after II o'clock, and
when the witness went after him, she
was cursed aud abused by Ella. She
also said that the girls had him away
from his work two days at a time, and
she wanted something done to put a
stop to it. The witness did not know
much about Sallie Evans, anymore
than she was companion of Ella
Jones. The Mayor imposed q fine of 81
and costs on each. Shortly after the
hearing, nice looking young woman
with pet dog in her arms, paid Sal
lies fine and had her released, but in.
formed the chief that she did not care
what they did with the other one.

The Marquis of Salisbury said it was
the duty Of all parties, now that the
honor of the country is engaged, to com,
bine in support of the government.
In the French Chamber of Deputies
to-day Admiral Jaureguiberry minister
Of marine, moved credit Of $500, 900
francs for the protection OF the Suez
canal. M. de Freycinet, president OF
the council, comforting with the COM
mittee of the Senate on the naval credit,
declared that if the powers directly In
terested in Egypt remained neutral in
regard to the Intervention Of the other
powers in Egypt, France would leave
England to act alone, and wou.d con-
fine herselfto the protection Of the Suez
canal. This declaration seems to be due
to the refusal of Gen. Billot, minister Of
war, to undertake operations in Egypt
un less he had force of 10000 men,
which would require the calling out OF
a portion of the reserves, and the gov.
eminent has refused to sanction such
action.

Arab To Gladstone.

LONDON, July ~ 1857.
Arab Pacba wrots the following let
ter 90 Mr.. Gladstone q few days before
the bombsrdment of Alexandria, but
Mr.. Gladstone did not receive it until
after the bombardment:--
"The Koran commands us to resist II
war is waged against US. Hence Eng
land may rest assured that the first
gun she fires in Egypt will absolve
Egyptians from all treaties. The control
will cease, the property Of Europeans
will be cOuf1scated, the canals will be
destroyed and the Jehad will be
preached in Syria, Arabia and India.
The first blow which England strikes
Egypt will cause blood to flow through
the breadth Of Asia and Africa, the re-
sponsibility for which will be on the
head of England. EgypC is still ready
to be the fast friend of England and
keep her road to India, but she must
keep within the limits of her jurisdic-
ton. Finally England may rest as.
sured that we are determined to die for
our country" .,I

FOURTHEDITION
SERIOUSLY BURNED.


A Coal OH Explosion EnvelOpS 9
WOmAn I'm FlRuleS-HoF COndl
sion Critical.
About $50 O'Clock last evening al
alarm of fire was sounded from sigma
box No. %, at Second and jackson
streets, OWN g to an explosion in tn
house occupied by Mr.. Michael Finsn
on Pleasant street near jackson. I'm
mediately proceeding the alarm pierc
ing screams rent the air and soon {
large crowd congre2ated in the vicin
ity, aud one of the most heart-rendinI
scenes greeted those who were neal
the house. The first intimation the
neighbors had of the accident, was the
hearing of loud report followed will
sudden burst of flames from the
kitchen of the house and Mrs. FinaI
rushing into the yard her clothes all
ablaze and uttering piercing screams
Richard Smith, who lives near by,
was the first to see Mrs. Finan as she
rushed into the yard enveloped In
flames. He was not slow to act and
rushed through the gate to where the
injured lady was. Seeing n piece oil
carpet laying near by he picked il up
and wrapped 1t around the burr cd
lady. The effect was instantaneous
and the fire was quenched, but not be
fore the woman was terribly burned
about the head, breast and other parts
of her body.
The injured lady was taken up stairs
and DIR. Ebberts summoned, while the
neighbors did all in their power to al.
leviate her terrible suffelings. Upon
the arrival of the physician, he ex-
amined the injured woman and
found that her face, portion of her
breast and back and lower limbs were
terribly burned. He also said the case
was serious one and would probably
prove fatal. Those who were In attend.
ance fearing that death would ensue,
dispatched a messenger for Bishop
Becker, who came and administered
the last rites of the Roman Catholic
Church.
Shortly after the accident, and
while the crowd was oongregated
around the house, Mr.. Finan returned
from his days labor, coming across the
lots. When near the house he saw the
crowd and heard some one say that his
wife was burned to death; he was una
BILE to stand such q terrible Gala nifty
and Immediately swooned away, and
Immediately swOoned away, and dur
ing the entire night he suffered with
violent spasms. So violent were these
attacks that 1t took several men to
hold him. The cause of the accident
cannot be definitely settled, but 1t is
that Mrs Finan was trying
to kindle fire In the stove and was us
iDgthat fatal fluid coal oil when the ex
plOsion occurred, although she says she
was lighting lamp. The stove and
floor in the kitchen were covered with
coal oil, while a coal oil can, which
she evidently had in her hand, was
badly shattered, several panes of glass
were broken and the window sash set
on fire, (Which proceeded the alarm of
fire but no lamp was seen in the Vi"in
itY. A visit to the house about 8. 80
O'Clock this morning by a REPUBLICAN
reporter, found Mrs. Finan much bet.
ter, but still in q critical condition.
Mr.. Finan had recovered somewhat
from his attack but was still in ner.
vouS condition. The accident lie an ex-
sad one as both man and wife
are young and have been married but
short time,
