Charles Taber, of Rocky Gulch, Nevada, J chased a small-pox patient out of town ? eleven miles into the country, and when he ,, got back he went through the streets mopping his forehead and observing: "I ain't ' mid so much fun afore since Sandy McGee 1 was lynched."

Some of our worthy colored brethren of J the Baptist persuasion hail a baptism down it the creek last Sunday, and the ceremony j P> attracted a very large crowd of people, j ca Mrs. Pitman's colored servant girl was ( th eery anxious to be present, and, as it was 1 Sa aot her Sunday out, she slipped away from j P. the house while the dinner was cooking, j th and went round in her working clothes. ; ar Her interest was so intense that she stood j ee ilose to the minister, who was in the water i while the ceremony proceeded. After six j hs ar seven had been dipped, the clergyman, ' BU Glled with enthusiasm, siezed her, and ; pulled her into the water. She resisted, j Pl but the minister immugined that she was ) merely afraid of the coldness of the water, j so before she could explain the situation he | re soused her. She came up spluttering, and exclaimed: j J'e ^What you doin' f Lemrne go, I tell : ^ >-ou !" | ov But he exerted his strength, and sent her j ^ *ker-ehuek" below the surface apain. She I Rri smerged, clawing the air wildly and i ?n :houtint,': ^h "G'wny from here ! Don't you chuck me jnder agin, you nigger ! " nr But the clergyman was inexorable, and ae plunged her under a third time, and su held her there for a minute, so as to let it joak in and do her good. Then she came ip and struck for the shore, and standing ihere, looking like a draggled mermaid cut 8e n ebony, she shook her list at the astonish- re' id pastor, and shrieked: "Oh, I'll fix you !

A LK.VT IN THE DARK. ml CO Henry 'Woolsey, of Germantown, Pa., th< vas hoarding with his family at a summer Bt >oarding house a few miles west of Bush till, Pa. In company with a gentleman ja3 lamed Price, he drove to the celebrated co: Raymond's Kill Falls, six miles north from Kingman's l-Vrry, where he proposed to ?ish for trout by moonlight. They reached he falls just before dark, and tying their lorse to a tree in a grove leading to the iame, tliey took their tishing rods and -.'lafenfc. nn<3 walked a fiuarter of a mile *?irther up the stream to an old dilapidated awmill, where they began fishing:. They ished along the stre-.m until they reached ^ he to)> of the Raymond's Kill Falls. Woolsey valked to within a few feet of theedgeof the 'alls and took a look down the dizzy height. W Ele was so pleased with the scene that he JL urned about to call his companion. In ^ loing this, a stone upon which he was standing1 slipped from under hiin, and he ^ plunged headlong over the cataract, land- m< ng in the seething waters nearly a hurtdred . , nif 'eetbelov. Price, thinking I hat he had been ^() ( nstantly killed by the fall, clambered down al\ he rocks at. the side of ti e falls. On a ock on the west bank of the stream he aw Woolsey sitting apparently unharmed. Price walked a short way down the stream, ? tnd crossed over to whore his companion at. Other than a few slight bruises about lis body and a few scratches about the ace, he escaped from the fearful l"np un- IT laimed. That he was not instantly killed JS.. s a miracle. ?

Dr. Passot has communicated to the 'ench Accademy of Sciencof, three curinns j scs of men struck by lightning- under | eir wooden barracks in the camp of j .tory on the 18th of May, at half past two : M. The first, named Mondon, was j rown down just he was raising his left m to take something. He remained innsible for upward of an hour, during hich artificial respiration had to be pracetl. the action of his lungs being almost upended. His mucles were relaxed, his [ :urt nearly still, his pulse tiliform, and his | ipils dilated. The syncope was followed j r a delirium that lasted forty-eight hours. 1 his recovery he had not the slightest collection of the accident, and scarcely It the smart of the various burns he had; ;t his limbs were neither insensible nor numbed. Tho cleclric fluid had parsed er the whole inner side of the left arm? e corresponding latpral part of the thorax> id, by bifurcation at the lumbar region^ .d followed the posterior side of 'each igh and the inner ones of the legs, ending the feet. His clothes were not singed ir the buttons touched. Two days later wan quite well again, except a point of ppuration on his right leg. The second man, Toisot, was standing fien he was struck. He became insensie from muscular relaxation, came to himIf again after a few minutes, and had no collection of the accident. Tho fluid had ft slight burns along the thorax, lumbar gion and left thigh, faintly singeing his irt, without touching His other garmeute. took him a week to recover. The third, Baudonniere, was standing at 8 door when he was struck on the left rearm and thrown down. He did not se his senses, and a few minutes after, he is able to relate all the circumstances of u accident. He could not get up and go his bed, but complained that he could ither extend nor bend the -fingers of the :t hand. The lightning had pierced his ^ket and shirt sleeves, leaving a hole out half an inch in diameter; a very slight irn was visible on the corresponding ot of the skin, arborescent shoots extendj" over the arm as far as the deltoid, and ?n in a line down to the extremity of the 3ex, middle and third fingers. These irks disappeared on the following day. To nclude.the nervous phenomena caused by 9 electric fluid were of but little importance, it the most singular circumstance is this that in the firs* two cases it caused location of the muscles, and in the third atraction.
