At Spartanburg, Tuesdav, lightning
struck the house of Mr. J. D. Steen, ex
press agent, aud damaged it considerably.
Mrs. Steen and three children and the cook
were in the house at the time. The charge
entered a front room and demolished a bu
reau, and passed t a rear room and broke
up a washstand. Mrs. Steen and the chil
dren were in the rear room, all standing on
the floor. They were considerably shooked,
but not injured. The cook was in the base
ment. She came up the steps after a little
and said to Mrs. Steen: "I declare to gra
cious, I jes put my head down iu my room,
and I wasn’t standiu’ against a wall, nor
nothin’. I don’t understan’it.” Mrs. Steen
explained that it was a shock from lightning
which had struck the house. On examina
tion it was found that a part of a front tooth
was broken off. Whether this was by the
fall or the electricity is not known. One of
the unfinished cottages at the Beaumont mill
was also struck.
The case which elicited the most public
interest in the court of common pleas at
Lancastei last week, was that of the state
against Rochelle Cator, William Clyburn
and Roxey Heunis. The two fir3t named,
colored men, were charged with the murder
of Gustavus Honnis, and the last named,
tho wife of the murdered man, was charged
as an accessory before the fact. The mur
der was a most atrooious and brutal one,
aud calculated to stir up public indignation
to its highest pitch. This unfortunate man
seems to have been killed by these two cruel
negroes for no other purpose than to gain
access to his wife; and one of them was
with her after the killing, with her hus
band’s blood fresh on his clothing. The
result of the trial was that the two negroes
were convicted of murder and sentenced to
dsath, to be inflicted on the first Friday in
August next. But there was a mistrial as to
the woman. From all the circumstances,
both before and after the trial, the public
mind is led to the conclusion that the
woman is guilty, and public feeling is run
ning pretty high.

War Time Currency.
From the Vienna (Ga.) Vindicator.
Daring the confederate war the inferior
court of Meriwether county issued a lot of
notes which passed freely at their face
value. These notes of various denomina
tions were all signed by Judge D. Ellis as
treasurer. The first batch were printed in
Greenville at the office of the Georgia
Weekly, published by Peck and Lines. The
paper was coarse and later Issues were
printed by H. P. Hill & Cos. at Griffin. The
paper used was very thin tissue paper, that
soon wore out by frequent handling.
A one dollar bill of this issue is before us
dated July 23, 1862. It is No. 33. In the
center is a good picture of Gen. Washing

corner, while a corn field darky illustrates
the left end. The bill is sent us by (.’apt.
