discovered the following popular fall
lacies concerning lightning, viz: that

The migration of birds in NorthAmer-
lea is to b. studied syste ulatically
by nearly one thousand persons. who
have engaged to act as observers, ac-

A remarkable worm-known to the
natives Of the FIJI Islands by tb-
name of ''Mbalolo" and to natural;sts
as salolo virilis--is found in certain
Of the coral archipclagos Of tic Pa
ciic. The worms appear periodics lly
in great numbers, and are highly es
teemed by the Fijians as an article OF
food. The worms only make thei,
appearance to spawn, and the time i,
reported to be the day Of the las,
quartering OF the moon in October
unless that falls at tho beginning O
the month, in which case there viii
intervene another lunar month. The,e
is, however, q second appearance O
sa!olo each year, occurring a mont.
after the first, and probably comprising
such worms as were not sufficient,
mature to spawn in October.

il true. But is it tho truth, the whole

now only fair to state that that vote Was
taken a year or more ago. and before the

bors were at dinner, with the evident
intention OF robbing the house but for
Itunately it happened that Col. Calhoun,
his four son and three gentlemen
friends were in the house at the time,
which fact so intimidsted the towards
that they rode off after lettering about
awhile and went to Mr.. Geo. McCulla's

him tell where his money WAS hid.

any one his intention gathered up all Of
the silver plate, put it in a box, and made
hi. way out of the, back door and on to
the woods where he remained until
night, when he returned with the silver.
Since freedom Henry has remained with
Col. Calhoun's family and seems much
attached to them, and has voted the
democratic ticket at every election since
the war.
