Liglltning's Fatal Work.

fADKINvILLE, N. G., May 27.-A
thunder cloud passed over the farm
Of Mr.. Lewis Williams, near here, this
morning. Three coored pluughmen
who We're working on the farm with
their horses took refuge under a tree.
A bolt of lightning struck the tree,
setting it on fire. In an instant cloud
Of smoke and bright flame arose The
people who rushed TO the scene found
that two of the men, Elias Do lthit and
Americas Martin, had been killed, and
that the other, William Yokely, was
fatally injured.
The two first were found sitting
against the tree, with three horses,
which We're also dead, lying partially
on them. Iokley was thrown some
distance away. Near Newborn, two
little sons Of Mrs. Pipkin were killed
by Lightning one was swinging on the
branch of Il shade tree in the yard of
his home, and the other stood near by,
when the bolt struck them. The deaths
OF both were instantaneous. The one
swinging on the limb was horribly

Talbot County Beer.

The ELstOn Ledger says Samuel
j. Common, of st. Michaels, was present
ed by the grand jury at the November
term for selling spirituous liquors to
Richard Harrington. in violation Of the
local-option law. The case was tried on
Monday, States Attorney Bateman for
State and G. II. Gibson for defendant
The States witness testified that he had
bought corn beer from Mr.. Common
several times; that it was not an intoxi
eating liquid, and man could ill him
self full of it without getting drunk, Or
dinarily. Sometimes, however, the corn
beer looked and tasted differently from
what it did at others.
Upon one OCCASION it looked like whis-
ky, smet like whisky, tasted like whis-
ky, but was not whisky. The witness
said he thought whisky had been put
into it. The defendant went on the
stand and testified that he kept grocery
store in st. Michaels, and also sold
" corn beer" which he brewed himself
of corn and yeast, and sweetened it
with sugar or molasses; that he never
sold whisky, and never put any whisky
in the beer
The court pronounced him guilty and
fined him 800 and costs. Judge Stump
prefaced the rendition of the judgment
by saying that it was Astonishing that
there seemed to be persons in Talbot
county determined not to observe the
law. They would have to
come to it; the law would be enforced,
and all who violated it would be pun
iShel with severity.

1t behOoves the Judges of Milwaukee
TO sit 10 court hereafter with theil
umbrellas spread. Kate Kane, thu
gentle female lawyer is at large again
1t will be remembered that she was in
ca:Cerated in the county Jail for en-.
livening the proceedings of the MUM.
cipal Court of Milwaukee by throwing
glass of water in the Judges face.
The Judge had assigned mere man to
defend a criminal whom Miss Kane
had expected TO he called upon to de-
fend. This so enraged her that she
went into court, took a seat in front of
the Judge, and when she saw good
opportunity grabbed at an inkstand
which she intended to throw at
him. 1t proving too heavy, however,
she seized Il glass of water and threw
its contents full in his face, remarking
with somewhat unfeminine energy as
she did so, Take that, you dirty
dog" His Honor naturally objected
to this unusual form of procedure, and
ordered Miss Kane's instant arrest. Two
SheriffS seized her and marched her
into the prisoners dock, whore the
Court, still swabbing the water from
his face, fined her $50 and costs for con-
tempt.
She broke into a torrent of abuse,
calling the Court a series of the most
names that she could
think of, telling him that she would
rather 60 to Jail than pay her fine, and
that the Jail was much more respect
able place than his Honor's courtroom.
The Judge ordered her to be removed
from the room, when she shouted "You
have insulted me, yon dirty dog %
When the Sheriff took hold of her
wrists she struggled violently, and said
in most approved tragedy manner:
" INLAND me, sir !" But she was not
unhanded. She was taken to the Jail,
and remarked as she disappeared with
in its gloomy portals: " will rot in
jail before pay that fine. "
On Sunday her term of imprisonment
expired, and she was taken from the
Jail in a carriage by admiring lady
friends, y and was subsequently pre-
'ented with purse of money. Her
lively assault upon the Court is thus
approved by a section at least Of the
adde's of Milwaukee, and she is hence
