LraHyNINa's FREAKS One of the most
singular freaks of lightning we ever heard
Of occurred on Tuesday evening of last week
at Mr.. Samuel Glison's mill property in this
district. At one stroke four locust trees in
the yard around his dwelling was struck,
the dwelling in four different places, and the
mill. And what is singular, the electricity
did not follow either tree to the ground, but
apparently glanced from one to- the other,
and must have glanced from the tips on the
lightning rod to the house, as it did not fol-
low the lightning rod to the ground, hut
tore hole in the roof several feet from the
chimney at one end and tore hole in the
cellar wall at the other end, besides doing
other damage. A portion of the charge
was no doubt carried TO the mill room by Il
common black wire running from locust
tree in the yard to said room, and used for
ringing bell. The outer window casing
was torn loose and swung around as if it
we're on hinges, cupboard inside was torn
to pieces and the contents scattered over the
floor; and whilst a gun standing up by this
cupboard was not touched, Il brace lying on
the floor by the gun was hlackened. Only
a few minutes before the stroke some six or
eight persons were in the mill room. 1t
certainly was strange freak and narrow

The mexican wsaars.a Hsenslon

The Mexican Pension Bill passed
the Senate on Monday last in quite a
dilapidated condition. There was
very little left of the House bill, after
al the amendments had been passed,
except the heading.
The bill as It now stands may be-
come Law. President Cleveland is
not likely to veto It with view
to saving money for the Government,
as the bill itself cuts off all chances
of paying ont money for this purpose.
We mnst confess we are unable to see
where the pension part of it conlss in.
When we first noticed the passage
of the bill, we thought, of course,
there would be pensions for the Mex
lean war veterans, and felt somewhat
proud, as we knew a few Of the old
veterans. Remembering that Col. a..
r. Mitchell was CAPTAIN of Go. K,
9th Louisiana regiment in this war,
we proceeded to the law office of
Mitchell d Gorbam where we found
the Colonel ready to give us any in
formation On the subject we desired.
He said he knew of only five who ser
we'd in the Mexican war who now re-
sided in this parish; they were, DIR.
VIM. ii. Kirkman, Of the LIST Texas
regiment, commanded by Col. Jack
Hays; DIR. L. N. Mimms and Hyram
Mimms, of the 9th Louisiana, com
manded by Col. Featherston; II. D.
Nix, A, Georgia regiment, and him
self, Captain of Co. X, 9Th Louisiana,
commanded by Col. Bailey Peyton.
The Colonel said under the present
billthe Government wonld not pay
ont any money to the five who resided
IN this parish. The bill had been so
as to cnt off very near all
chances for Southern man who
served IN the Mexican war to receive

were there but few minutes with the

velop their negative. On Wednesday
last they presented ms with a cabinet
photograph of Ryan street, which sur
passes anything we have seen in the
way of scenery about town, and we
must say, would make beautiful view

that done in the largest cities. The
work they have done speaks for itself.

and will be handsomely decorated with
eyergreens. The grounds are conve-
niently located, and every Indication
that the Fair will be a grand success
is most promising. Entrys from Hi
nois, Indiana, and Ohio, are being
made, and the frnit exhibit will be the
finest ever made in the parish. We
hope our friends of Lake Charles will
more than duplicate their exhibit Of
last year. The rice crop is, by the
late rains, assured, and the largest
crop ever raised in the parish will be
harvested this season. Corn was
badly damaged by the late storm.
