Annihilated in NIidair.

About 8 o'clock, just before the heavy
shower, several gentlemen were sitting
in front of a store in West Nashville
when one of the party observed a large
turkey buzzard that was sailing males
tically across the sky, and remarked that
If the buzzard did not look out he would
get wet
Their attention was thus called to the
bird, and all were lazily watching it's
fight, when suddenly, just as it was op-
posite to and above them, they were
blinded by fash of lightning, which
seemingly exploded on the back of the
buzzard They were astonished some
what, but recovered themselves and
looked for the buzzard, but, alas, the
majestic bird was out of sight. All that
was left of him was a few black tail
feathers, which futtered pathetically to
the ground
Those who witnessed the phenomenon
succeeded in catching several of the
scorched feathers, which they exhibit in
corroboration of the story.-Nashvills

Queer superstitions About Stones.


The most wonderful properties were
ascribed to the chimerical stones which
many creatures were supposed to carry
in their heads. Most readers have no
doubt heard of the precious jewel which
the toad carries in his brain box, and SO
called toad stones, which were in reality
the teeth of fossil fish, were formerly
worn IN finger rings as protection
against poisons, at the presence of which
they were supposed to change color. It
was thought that the best stones were
those voluntarily elected by the living
toads, but as the latter were not addict
ed to freely giving up their treasures in
that way, it was necessary to procure
the coveted articles by other means, and
the recognized method was to decapitate
the hapless batrachian at the instant he
swallowed his breath.
The feat naturally demanded consid,
cradle celebrity, such as could only have
been acquired by constant practice; and
1t Is not unreasonable, therefore, to as
sumo that although the endeavors tc
gain possession of the jewels were per
haps numerous. they must invariably
have been unsatisfactory, especially t
toads The eagle stone was considered
an excellent thing to wear during preg
nancy, and the swallow carried in it,
stomach stones of great medicinal value

animal in tree and threw stone at it.
Thereupon the animal sprang down upon
the boy and they had quite a fight, in
which the clothes of young Heath were
torn, his head and face and parts of his
body badly scratched. The boy then
managed to climb tree and with his
heavy boots would kick the animal down
as it tried to get to him. After some
time the beast became tired of this and
