Dr. ~. LIghthaIl.

At 6 o'clock last evening, after a sick
ness Of a week, j. |. Lighthall, more
Familiarity knOwn under his soubriquet
of the Diamond Ming, died at his
camp, at rn" corner OF Houston and Ma
CogdOches streets. The cause Of his
death WAS smallpox, which malady he
contracted while standing in his wagon
on the plaza, from one of the numerous
patients who came daily for relief from
pain. His death is believed to have
been accelerated by the fact that some
ice water was inadvertently admin
iStrred to him after the eruption had
broke ont on him. This. it is supposed,
checked the progress Of pustular forma-
Lion SO violently as to cause death.
DR.. j. Lighthall was born at
Tiskilwa, Bureau County, Illinois, and
was 30 Yeas old at the time of his death.
His recent home. however, was situa ted
in Peoria, Illinois. lie was married and
had two children. For some years he
has been travelling over the country
vending his special remedies, and he
had amasscd considerable wealth by
their sale.

Horse Theft.

Pablo Rodriguez was arrested sunday
afternoon on suspicion of being horse
thief, which conclusion has since been
proved At the time of his arrest he
was riding a fine horse and saddle and
offered to sell them both for SIS. When
Intercepted he said his father raised the
horse at Monterey and the saddle was
made at the same place. The horse had
an American brand and saddle with a
LuIing mark on it, and therefore the tale
Rodriguez told was evidently a false
hood. The horse is supposed to belong
to Mr. Wanken. a farmer near Kyle.
Rodriguez languishes in Gurance vile.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
An EIcctricaI Time-Picce that Prom
Uses to RcVoiutionize the World.

An ElcCtriCal Time-PtcCc that Prom
Uses to Rcvoiutionize the World.
Fo,p,. the LouisrjHe Courier. IournGI.
ELIZABETHTowN, Sept. 12.-Hardln
county has contributed to the scientific
world an electric clock, which surpasses
everything of the kind ever invented. 1t
has been placed on display at tue Expo
sItiOn by Mr.. c. b. Clifford, Of Culesburg,
and will doubtless attract great deal
OF attention. Unlike previous cleo
trical tlme-keepers, this clock
regulates itself automatically un-
der all variations of temperature and
the pendulum RENAME the same length
under all temperature changes. This re-
qulres what is called compensation in
metal and is effected by an ingenious ar
rangement of iron ana brass rolls acting
upon lever so that the distance between
the points OF suspension and oscillation OF
the pendulum remains unaltered by vari-
tons of temperature.
The ordinary compensating pendulum
consists OF mass OF rods, which form q
part OF itself, thus increasing the surface
exposed TO atmospheric influences, while
in the Colesburg pendulum the cOmpen-
sating portion Is fixed and the vibrating
portion consists simply OF n pendulum
bob, and approaches as near as pOssi-
BILE the form Of the theoretical pen
dulum. The electrical device which
keeps IL in motion, while inve-
NOUS, is exceedingly simple. All wheel
escapements are dispensed with, and the
pendulum is kept In motion by tue sue
cessiye impulsatious Of a magnetic arma-
ture. The magnet varies In strength nc.
cording TO the condition OF the battery,
but by a simple arrangement this vara-
tion OF magnetic force makes no cores
ponding change in the arc Of vibration,
which remains constant under all condi-
tioDs Of the battery.
