Electrified the Congregation.

While 200 people were assembled in
church at Osborn, Ga, last Sunday,
a stroke of lightning fell near the
church, and, CHANGING from the ground
where it first struck, proceeded to
plav havoc with the congregation.
Two or three currents seemed TO
enter the church, and in an instant
threw everybody into confusion.
Benches were upset and the floor was
covered with people, variously al
fected by the stroke. Some We're
knocked senseless, while others had
their clothes and shoes torn from their
bodies Many were burned, ana
streaks and marks were left on their
bodies where the current touched
them. Nearly every one in the con
gregation has marks where the light
ming touched.
Ex-State Senator j. w. Foster was
knocked senseless, and on recovering
found marks down his legs and on his
body. He did not know what had
struck him.
Many of the congregation found
holes burned in their clothes, some OF
the garments looking as If load OF
shot had been through them.
Strange to say, no one was Killed.
though many were rendered tempo
rarily unconscious. A horse which
was standing on the opposite side of
the church from where the lightning
first struck was killed outright.

Relic of Libby Prison.

A letter from Gloversville, n. Y, to
the Albany Journal says that WILLIAM
NJ. Harris, commander Of Candy
Grand Army Post, of that place, has
sent a piece Of plank, taken from
Libby prison, to the man who carved
his name upon it in the floor when he
thought his life was nearly ended.
1t bore the following, carved with a
pocket knife:
Geo. +. Mason, 10th n. Y. S. ",
Jnne IA, 1864"
The building was afterward used
by J. S. Heacock as a tobacco ware
house, and when the building was
taken down the piece Of the floor
plank was cut out, about 10 by 9
inches. and brought to this city and
presented to Candy Post as a relic.
The Lost gave notice through the
State, and the aurviving veteran for
warded to Mr.. Harris long, interest
ing letter, giving an account OF his
capture, the severe treatment he re-
ceived. that he carved his pane only
to show those WHO followed that he
had gone on before, for at that time
he never expected to see home again.
He was reduced in weight from $50 to
90 pounds. Mr.. Mason writes that
he was captured with about 100
Others who were on picket at Cold
Harbor early in the morning of June
10, 1864. and arrived at Annapolis,
Md, parole camp December l, 1864,
having served three months over his
three-year enlistment. Mason entered
the service in August, 1861, and was
discharged in January, 1860

The Campaign of 1892.

There is talk among leading Demo
Gratis of Washington in favor of hav-
ing late National Convention next
year. 1t is customary for the party
in power to hold its Convention first,
and next year will be no exception to
the rule, as the Republican Conven-
ton will, without doubt be called for
Nav. 1t is the belief of many Demo
Gratis that there is no need for calling
the Democratic Convention until the
middle of July, which will give six or
eight weeks in which to note the enc
my's plan of campaign and checkmate
accordingly.
Besides, it is not forgotten that
Congress will be in session next sum
mer, and there may be many fine OPP
portunities for the Democratic House
TO gain tactical advantages over the
Republicans after the latter have
made their platform and ticket. 1t
is further argued that "A short, sharp,
enthusiastic campaign can be waged
to better advantage than n long one,
which saps the energies and financial
resources of the party organization.
The National Democratic Committee
will not meet until February %, 1872.
