slider the conduct Of such passenger in

ence of passion engendered by the insulting
words, or was the outcome Of cool deliber-
alton. [73 Southwestern Rep. (Texas. Judge

BORED HIS TOE.

John Nicholson, living alone about
three miles from Mound City, was eat
ing dinner when lightning struck the
chimney of his house and ran about
the room until it finally took hold Of
the big toe of his right foot, and bored
a hole about As caliber in diameter di-
rectly through the joint. The shoe
was torn to pieces, and the strange
part of the whole proceeding was that
the sock was completely removed from
the foot, with the exception of a mar
row strip about the top. DR.. Jackson
amputated a part of the foot and Mr..
Nicholson is, of course, getting along
well. The freak of the lightning in
boring a hole not unlike a bullet
wound through the foot is a peculiar
one, and the wound was much worse
than if it had been from a shot. Elev-
en- small pieces of the bone were found
imbedded in the remnants of the sole
Of the shoe. When Mr.. Nicholson was
struck he was rendered unconscious
and thrown into a corner on a pile of
sacks, which were on fire when he
came to himself, and he narrowly
escaped cremation.

reader and entertainer that the Ia
nous Cumnock school of Oratory has
produced, will make his first appear
ance hat day. Herbert Booth, o Of
Gen. Booth of London, will tell the
thrilling story of the early Christians,
heir sufferings and martyrdoms. This
is illustrated by 250 special views and
it is one Of the most impressive spec
tacular presentations now being Of
tered to the public. Everybody should
andeavOr to be at Canton on the Sth of
next month.
Rev. A. c. Shepherd is receiving in
~quiries from parties in outside towns
who wish to rem rooms during the as
sembly, July 1 to IL. He thinks that
he will have a great many such calls
from now on, and desires that every
one having a room, furnished or IN

Shepherd at once.
