Ellis Griffith, wife and child Of
Kansas, are visiting Squire G. B.
Horning and wife. Mrs. Horning ID
a sister of Mr.. Griffith, who left Ju.
niata for the west years ago. He
came to Pittsburg to attend the

Bloomfield Democrat of last week:
During the prevalence of the Sc
we're thunder storm which passed ov-
er a portion of this county on last
Saturday evening the barn of Geo.
Lickel, near Roseburg, in Saville
township, was struck by lightning
and totally destroyed. Mr. and Mrs.
Lickel were in the barn at the time
it was struck and escaped injury, but
a valuable horse was instantly killed.
A buggy and a wagon were removed,
but all the rest of the contents of the
barn were consumed.
On last Sunday evening when return.
ing from Blain where be had been to
church, Geo. s. Briner, Esq, noticed
a number of bolts of lightning which
seemed to strike near the brick resi-
dence belonging to himself and
brother Jacob. He hastened home
ward. When about to step upon
the porch there was a binding fash,
followed by tremendous report,
and a. the same instant he appeared
to be struck on the top of the head
by stone falling from a considerable
distance. He was dazed and stun
ned, but his wife and children, who
were on the porch felt no shock
There was q smell of smoke, but, on
examination, no fire was found. His
sisters living near by. saw the bolt,
saw the bolt descend and it appear
ed to them as if the building was en-
valoped in sheet of flame. Several
jars of fruit in the cellar were bfeken
and q chicken was found dead near
the point where the lightning rod en-
ters the ground at one end of the
bui ding. On last Wednee-
day evening, while Mrs. Harper and
family, cur next door neighbors,
were at prayer meeting some bold
thief climbed from the garden fence
to the roof of the out-kitchen. remov-
ed the screen from a window in the
main building, entered the rooms on
the 2nd floor, ransacked the bureau
drawers and stole therefrom between
five and six dollars in money belong
ing to Miss Margaret Harper and
her cousin; Miss Mary Harper of
Shippensburg, aud a gold watch, the
property of Miss Carrie Harper. Evil
IDENTITY the thief was no stranger, had
seen the family leave the house and
knew exactly how to accomplish his
purpose. During their abserce a
light was seen in the room from
which the stolen articles were taken.
Sooner or later sombody from this
town will don striped suit in the
Eastern Penitentiary.

his home in Nebraska to attend the

While .llfflintown has been slow in

went away have been so marked that
he would not have known the place,

out n blush or elliorescence that more en-
phatically announces the progress of the
disease. Then all signs of skin disturb

Q. But is there no mental depres-

A. ooh, yes At the first acquaintance
Of the fact that the disease is on him, a
horrid gloom settles upon the patient
But after awhile. a slight hope Of recov-
cry is born and the inCipient leper tries
all forms of cure, and no form is so abb
surd that win not recommend itself as
worthy Of experiment. And then all the
time the patient thinks it is something
besides leprosy"
Q. "When a victim of the disease is
first charged with having the plague, /
should think he would resent it2"
A. Yes. And the English law makes
1t libelous case for the courts, If man
is unjustly charged with being a leper.

cases Of this kind called leoniue,' for the

calamity. William Ragsdale, popular
lawyer was sent there. He was eloquent
both in Hawaiian and English, and could
make his audiences weep, and laugh, and
SILVER, and resolve. He had the satire
of a Junius, and the impassioned abandon
of an O'Connell. No one suspected he
was leper before the day when he sent
a letter TO the authorities, surrendinR
himself, and saying that on the morrow
he would 90 aboard the steamer for Molo-
kai He spent the morning of the day of
his departure in riding around to say
gOod-by to his friends and just before the
hour for sailing, came down TO the boat
his neck adorned with gardenia and
turned around and made a farewell ad-
dress, closing with the words: aloha I
May God bless you, my brothers !"
Hundreds Of the people and a glee club
accompanied him to the boat, and they
rent the air with lamentations
as the boat swung off from
it's mOOrings. He took Bible
and some law books with him into
his dreadful exile, and the prayers of
churches were offered that he might have
courage and peace in the remaining days
of his earthly tarryinR. Queen Emmas
cousin, Hon. Mr.. Kaco, was also sent TO
MOlokai, and there was no power in his
royal connection to keep him outside of
that island. Mrs. Napela, of high social
circle. had her cottage of enforced exile
on that island of sepulchers. A legislator
of the Hawaiian Islands is there closing
his life. He was probably a good legisla-
tor in the days of his health, but l cannot
help thinking what good thing IL would
be if all the leprous legislators Of the
earth could be put in some island by them
selves. Such "a punishment would be a
mighty thinning out at Albany, Harris
burg and Washington legislatures, state
and national.
The United States government could
afford TO provide such a MOlOkai and the
moral lepers sent there could have their
legislature and congress aud board of
aldermen and army and navy all Of the
same blotch. But while the Hawaiian
LEGISLATOR could be found out and sent TO
the sO-called Isle Of Precipices," the
moral leper is not so easily designated,
because he has the botch not so much on
his forehead as on his heart. What every
state and nation now needs is a Molokai
or Isle Of Lepers.
LEPRosY DIAGNOSED.
Conversation about leprosy with a
former member Of the board Of health for
the Hawaiian Islands revealed to me the
following facts:
Q. In what part of the system does

A. 1T attacks the nerve centers"

A. mo. II begins with the nerves,
