The Intense BrilIIancy of rIrbtn,no

One consequence of the short dura- tion of lightning is an apparent dimi- mutton of it's brilliancy It has been proved that light cannot produce its full effect on the eye unless it remains at least as long as one-tenth of sec. ond; but lightning lasts only the ten- thousandth part of a second. and it fol- lows from this that we see it one hun dred thousand times less bright than it really is. When we recollect that even thus diminished its brill;ancy is such as to cause temporary blindness if too. closely watched, we may feel grateful that we cannot see it in its true vivid ness, for any human powers of vision would be too weak to bear such a sud- den and overwhelming illumination From Caillard's Electricity.

A LEADING paper recently said that forest fires were a far greater evil in this country than is generally known In the last census year 2,9S3 fires of this kind were recorded, of which 3G9 were started by persons clearing land CPS by hunters, sos locomotives, 1O1 by campfres or pipes and 262 by incendi. aries. That the loss of life and prop erty by forest fires is largely unneces- sary is proved by the comparative inn munity from them in Canada, where the laws are stringent against starting forest fire. Canada maintains a fire patrol and fire wardens, who are au. thorized to call for assistance.

Made the Trip Safely,

QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 13.-The little schooner Nina, with Capt Freitsch the only man on board, arrived here to-day from New York. The Nina sailed from New York Sunday. August 5.

This most estimable woman is no
more of earth. She peacefully pass
ed away on Wednesday morning,
Sept. 10th, at her home in this city,
aged SO years. For several weeks
she had been ill, aud for many days

years, and in all that time there has
not been found her superior as a
true-hearted, kindly, noble woman
and faithful, devoted wife and
mother. The aged husband, two

knowing that in their sorrow they
have the sympathy of many friends,
who feel that they too have suffered
great loss. The funeral will be

Blind Pig Premium, SIS.

Frank Wonderle, Joe Meylor, John
Farmer and Elmore Mcconnell are
enterprising gentlemen who came
from Darlington and entered blind
pig at the fair in this city. Officers
of the association not having been
previously consulted in the matter
no premium being offered for little
sightless swine-the entry Of such
stock was, of course, irregular. As
judges to decide the merits of other
exhibits had been appointed, how
ever, the society thought it proper
that this irregular exhibit be also
passed upon, and Police Justice Rey-
nolds was called as judge. After
duly examining the animal, and
hearing his points discussed by the
exhibitors and their friends, the
Judge on Tuesday rendered his
award-S50 and expenses, in the
aggregate over $S5. General senti-
ment Is that no premium given at
the fair was more deserved.

Accused Of Dynamiting Fish.

Upon complaint of Mr.. Chap
man, of Darlington, Police Justice
Reynolds, of this city, issued war;
rant for the arrest of young man
named Mylrea, of Dodgeville, for
destroying fish in a stream in the
town of Clyde, about July 4th, by
exploding dynamite in the water.
The case came for hearing before
Judge Reynolds on Tuesday last, 5.
w. Reese appearing as attorney for
the defendant and District Attorney
Whitman for the state. Mr.. Reese
moved for dismissal, on the ground
that the Police Justice had no juris-
diction, his authority being confined
to offenses committed within the
limits of the city. In this view the
district attorney concurred, but the
Court overruled the motion, and the
case was proceeded with, defendant
declining to plead, either guilty or
not guilty. Two or three witnesses
were called for the prosecution, but
failed to satisfy the Court that the
evidence was sufficient to convict
the prisoner, and he was therefore
discharged-and the county pays
the costs.
