I'Rli.VV Steelviler, Mo., Feb. li.—The most remarkable electrical phenome¬ non ever seen in this section oecured at Palmer lead mines, tweuty-iive miles southeast of this place, on last, Sunday night. A vivid flash of lightning, ac¬ companied by an appalling clap of thun¬ der, was the first intimation of any un¬ usual condition of the elements. The holt struck a gigantic oak tree which stood near the ham beiongir g to the Palmer lead furnace, some twenty feet from the ground, literally riddling and scattering its fragments in every direc¬ tion to the distance of BOO yards. One piece, weighing over 3J0 pounds, was hurled through the roof of the barn The roots of the tree even were torn out of the ground,some of them for the distance of over twenty feet. The tree formed one of the corner post of a cow¬ shed,occupied bv two horses and a cow. belonging to II. C. Compton. The shed was completely demolished. The wall place was a piece of lumber (>xlO inhehes, and was broken in four places, while holes large enough to admit a horse were torn to the roof, and yet. strange to say, the animals were unin¬ jured, even though a post standing be tween the two horses was broken in twain and the planks from the sides scattered in every direction. The tree stood at one side of a lane and on the opposite side was a plank fence, which was knocked into splinters for a dis¬ tance of 100 feet along the string of plank There was no wind at the time, and yet, strange as it may seem, a pait of the trunk of the tree and many of the fence planks have disappeared. Nearly every house in the village was visited by the subtle agent. Entering at the chimney of Superintendent Har¬ rison’s resilience it enveloped the dress of Mrs. Harrison, who was sitting be¬ fore the dire, in vvliat ha I the appear¬ ance of clue flames. The alarmed lady called her husband, who bad retired foi the night, and lie relates that for some seconds there was a rumbling sound resembling that produced by ig¬ nited fV.rper held up the chimney. Mrs. T. 11/League, another lady, noticed electrical sparks on her foot, and expe¬ rienced a plain shock like that received rf -a I XJuti* iieshud similar . ..pvfl&uees.

Senator Pugh, of Alabama, says a Wjtsliington letter, served hi the same OiHigress with Senator Logan just pri¬ or to the outbreak of the late war. They were then members of the Same politic 1 party, am! were personal friends. Near the close of the war, when the United States soldiers went through Alabama, a detachment of VV ilson’s cavalry approached tho resi¬ dence of Senator Pugh, in Eufaul i. When he saw the troops .approaching Mi . Pugh, who had been in tho Con¬ federate army and in the Confederate Congress, expected to lie roughly hand¬ led. lie walked out to the front yard, and when the detachment dtew up to his gate lie said to them: “There’s the house, go in and take posqssion.” The officers in command inquired: “Is your name James L. Pugh?” “That is my 11 ,tine, sir. W Here are my orders re spectiug you,” i a d the officer, exteno ing a paper, Mr. Pugh unfolded it, expecting to read an order for his im met iate arrest and transpotation to prison. Instead of that, he read an or der issued bv Gen. Logan that neither Mr- Pugh nor anything belonging to him was on any account to be molested. —All Scientist know the proneness of insects to deiiosit their eggs in de¬ cayed fruit.

Reading, Pa., February, 22.—The great religious wave recently struck Mohnsville, this county. Among the persons converted was Mias Elizabeth Metz, a respectable young woman of this plane, who was thrown into a trance from which she did not recover for over twenty-four hours. She tells wonderful stories of all she saw and h 1 ai d while her nody remained on earth. She claims that tier soul spent a brief period in heaven, where it was permit¬ ted to remain just long enough to gaze upon all its glories. She claims to have been actually in heaven. The time she was in this state is a perfect blank to her. Miss Metz re¬ grets that she was not allowed to re¬ main in the beautiful place. »S'he says that all about her was filled with mil¬ lions of happy beings, whose faces bore no traces of sorrow. In this ethereal space she met friends who had been dead for years, and th -ir only occupa¬ tion seemed to be to singsongs of praise and to play upon their golden harps. She was also permitted to gaze into an awful black pit full of writhing human beings in a seething lire, whose faces ^ore evidences of the fearful pain they were undergoing. She says no one can now convince tier that there is no hell. Many persons have been strongly 1m hv ’ The well-known uptown furniture deal bargains.
