SOME OF THE LIGHTNING DOINGS.-
A Ludlow correspondent OF the Wood
stock Standard says: -"Recently, an Or
binary shower passed over this place;
there was nothing unusual about it ex-
cept one terrible clap of thunder. which
awoke our lmost talented sleepers. 1t Is
not often that peal so astounding Is heard.
Every one was fully satisfied that 1t must
have struck some object near by; and
such proved to be the case. On bluff, a
little north of the village. stands four or
five good sized pines. 1t would seem
that on this occasion they attracted the sub
tie fluid, as their present appearance fully
demonstrates. One OF the largest of the
group received the bolt some sixty or
seventy feet from the ground, the light.
ming ploughed deepgroove straightas an
arrow to within about 90 feet Of the ground
where it tore the trunk in twain; the bolt,
however, continued down the balance OF
the tree, literally splitting the 20 foot
stump into two equal parts, the aperature
at the top being some five or six inches
wide, and a mere crack near the ground.
This tree we should judge to be nearly or
quite three feet in diameter at the butt.
No less than three other good sized pines
standing within a radius of from five to
eight rods were also struck, probably at
the same moment but were not demolish
ed as was the one which received the
principal bolt"

The Congressional Convention.

The result of the first republican con-
vention in the new second congressional
district to-day was the nomination of Hon
Luke P. Poland by good majority on the
first ballot. The caucuses were held
throughout the district last Saturday, since
which it has seemed that the result just
reached was the probable one.
The vote for Judge Poland was just a
majority of what full convention would
have been as the district was entitled to
$50 votes and he had 1911. 1t is also true
that in that part of the district which was
least fully represented, Windham county,
the absence of delegates counted against
Judge Poland instead of in his favor.
Three of the seven counties now in the
district did not formerly belong TO the
"old second" In the convention those
three counties gave a majority against
him. So 1t is plain that in his old district
that is the four counties of Caledonia,
Orange, Windsor and Windham-the Sec
ton that in 1874 was "dark and bloody
ground" for him. he had just about two
thirds of the delegates.
The result in that part of the district
marks great change of opinion in refer
erence to him, for. while his campaign has
been conducted shrewdly, 50 decided a
preponderance in his favor was never
brought about in that region by superior
wire pulling.
1t is due to Judge Poland to say that
his nomination is, on the whole. rs fairly
due to the fact that the people waited
him in preference TO any body else, MS is
the case in the great majority of political
conventions. And indeed part Of the
support which Gen. Grout received came
not because men preferred him to Judge
Poland, but because they thought that his
service of one term having been well per-
formed, although his old district was
broken up, failure to re-elect him would
be taken as an unmerited rebuke.
It should be said as to Gen. Grout and
the feeling concerning him in the conven.
ton that there appeared TO be an entire
absence of personal hostility to him, n
concession on all hands that he mad done
faithful service, and regret on the part of
many who voted against him that it
was necessary to defeat him in order to
accomplish their object.
The most potent factor in Judge
Poland's success was his possession Of an
uncommon lot of brains and a general
knowledge of this fact. Another thing, the
sovereign people like to exercise their
sovereignty. They exhibited their power
in tearing down his blue and brazen
image in 1874 and they exhibit it now in
setting it up again.
AS Judge Poland once remarked to Gen.
Grout, political resurrections are rare;'
but they do occur, and in this case one of
them raises man of pre-eminent legisla-
tive ability to his former place in congress

The earth itself is the best Of all disin-
fectants, owing to its antiseptic and de-
odorizing properties. 1t is porous In the
highest degree. and readily transmits air
through its surface, thus changing to
healthy action the otherwise obnoxious
fermentation. 1t does not act so rapidly,
or rather its results are not so instantly
apparent as those following the use of the
chlorides, but its effect is more widespread
and lasting.
4 writer in the Dirigo Rural says:-
THE value and quality of butter does not
depend upon the fact that it is made in a
regularly established creamery, or farm
daily. It's virtue depends wholly upon the
manner the cows are fed, MIXED. the care
of the milk and the machinery in which it
is set, the skill by which it is churned,
worked and packed. All these things can
be done in private farm dairy as well as
creamery. But all the materials must
be had and all of the care exercised. AS
this will seldom if ever be done, it is about
safe to say that the reputation Of dairy
butter will never equal that of the cream
cry; and yet it might. But in a small way
all OF the conveniences cannot be afforded,
nor can there be the same care applied
unless the operator devotes his undivided
attention to this exclusive business. No
device Of dairy or re.worked butter can
ever PISS close inspection as creamery,
though it be branded as such, and attempt
ed to be passed off under the brand of an
accredited creamery"

The body of the Earl of Crawford which
was stolen some months since from the
family vault, near Aberdeen. has been
found in the grounds of his late residence.
The Earl died in Florence December IS,
1880. His body was embalmed, conveyed
to England and buried in due course. and
the new vault, built according to the d.
rections of its first tenant, was after some
interval closed up. A few days later,
early in the morning, laborer going to
his work obsc we'd that the iron ratings
had been broken down and that one of
the granite flags sealing up the entrance
to the stairway which leads down into the
vault had been dislodged. He alarmed
the household, and presently an inspection
revealed the truth. Of the three collins
which contained the body the outer oaken
one had been neatly, the other two, oflead
and wood respectively, had been Iudely
opened aud the corpse distracted.

The Connecticut supreme court has
given an opinion which establishes aflirma
lively the eligibility of women to be ad-
mitted to practice in Connecticut courts.
Some months ago Miss Mary Hall of Hart
ford, applied to the Hartford County supe-
rior court for admission to the bar. The
examining committee found her to be
duly qualified as to her legal requirements,
but as she was the first applicant of her
sex in Connecticut to apply for admission
to practice, and in the absence of any pre-
cedent and in view of differing opinions
as to her eligibility on account of her sex,
the question of her right to admission was
reserved for the highest tribunal IN the
state. The decision just announced will
be followed by renewal of her applica-
ton to the county court to be enrolled as
an attorney.

Elk Senator Benjamin II. Hill, whose
fatal illness is announced, was at the
opening Of the war an earnest and anti.
secession wing, and his speeches delivered
throughout his district, in opposition to the
severing of the tie which bound Georgia
to the union, were among tho most clio.
quent and effective that were made in the
south at that time. He was elected to
represent his district in the secession con-
vention, bnt the sentiment in that body
was so overwhelmingly opposed to the
union, that he was unable to Withstand it,
and signed the ordinance which took his
state into the confederacy. He served in
the rebel senate during the war, and at its
close was one of the first of prominent
southern statesmen to accept the situation
and to become reconstructed. He was
soon elected first TO The national House of
Representatives and then to the Senate.
The history Of bis career in both of those
bodies is familiar to most readers. During
the electoral controversy which followed
the choice of President Hayes, Mr.. Hill
allied himself to those conservative demo.
Gratis who held their party in check, and
to whom the country owes the prcscrva-
tion of peace.

The House foreign committee have ag.
reed upon substitute bill for the Nicara-
qua canal. The bill proposes a guarantee
of three per cent. for 20 years TO the com,
pany on the sum expended in construction,
provided this shall no exceed SIS, 100000.
As to the route tho committee say; The
Nicaragua route possesses, both for the
construction and maintenance of canal,
greater advantages and offers Tower diff.
cultics from engineering, commercial and
economic points of view than any of the
other routes shown to be practicable by
survey sufficiently in detail to enable a
judgment TO be formed of their relative
merits They also express strong
opinion that the canal will mako its own
income without having to draw on the
guarantee of the United States. The
minority oppose the guarantee and hold
that the question of foreign interference
should he settled before the bill is passed

TI-VACCINATIoN.-T London cor.
respondent of the Boston Journal gives
an interesting account of the progress of
anti-vaccnation in Switzerland. The bat
tie is very fierce and the opposition seems
TO be gaining q little. The Swiss Federal
Chambers passed vaccination law. the
penalties for the violation of which were
one YEARS. Imprisonment and fine not ex-
ceeding 5000 franc. According to the
Swiss constitution the people have the
light of referendum or an appeal from
the decisions of the Federal Chambers to
the SURFACES of the people, provided 3d.
900 signatures are obtained, but only 80
days are allowed for this purpose. The
number of signatures has been obtained
and $4,000 more, the petition has been
laid before the President Of the Confedera-
ton, and the final votes will be taken the
present month. Inlthe month of August
the third International Anti-Vaccinatio
Congress will be held at Berlin, at which
many distinguished scientific men are ex.
pected to he present. Among those gen.
tlemen who are interested in this inter-
national movement, the correspondent
gives the names of Herbert Spencer, Prof.
F. w. Newman. Prof. Mayor of Cam

sity, N. Y, and Rektor 2. A. Siljestrom
of Sweden. The principal ground on
which these gentlemen oppose vaccination
is that it "is the sof inducinga varie-
ty of frightful disorders, thereby greatly
increasing infant mortality and deteriora.
ting the public health" Among promi.
nent men in England who favor the repeal
Of the English law are w. Z. Gladstone,
John Bright, w. +. Forster, Sir William
Harcourt, Lord Harrington, Sir Charles
Dixie, Mr.. p. A. Taylor, and many of the
leading members of the Liberal party. A
report came to London from Algiers that
So young men of the Fourth Regiment OF

Milwaukee has Il larger foreign than ma

Milwaukee has larger foreign than ma
tive population. and many of the citizens
insist on the continental way of spending
Sunday. The theatres and beer gardens
have been open on Sundays. A petition
was recently circulated for closing the
theatres, and it was signed by many mer-
chants. This brought out the resentment
of the Germans, and under the direction
of the brewers, a system Of Boycotting
has been employed against all tradesmen
whose signatures appear on the petition.
The brewers are the prime movers, be.
cause they know that the closing of the
theatres would be followed by an attack
on the beer gardens and saloons. Much
bitterness has been engendered.

TIE PRICE or CoAL.-Pennsylvania' =
coal product, this year, promises to DO
largely in excess of that of 1881, and
already tho railroads in that state are
reaplng the benefits from it in the increased
transportation Of the output Of the mines.
For the month of June tho product was
1926, 039 tons, or 206, 800 tons more than
that for the corresponding month last
year. The output for the first six months
of tho current year aggregated 1856, 5Sl
tons, being an increase. as compared with
the same period in 1881, of 10O.355 tons.
The stock of coal on hand at tide water
shipping points on June 30th, 1882, was
5S3 9S6 tons against 6l1,43l tons on May
3lst, decrease of 27,505 tons. The
reports from all the other coal producing
sections are equally favorable. and though
at the present time coal is extremely low,
it promises to vary but little, even up to
very cold weather. This is another "boon"
for The poor man, and tends also TO give
added brightness to the favorable outlook
for great reduction in the present high
market price of the staple of life.
