For two years past the only i 1 daughter of a vAy wealthy man liaa.been i * a consul ttgtire in faslronable New York j society. She w.w not twenty years old, I an 1 the heiress to a large fortune. Of j( ??:>ur*5 she was courted, flattered, fol- j1 lowed. She organized a "coterie," of ,fc winch she was made president. She re- ( c.'ivod t!ie attention of titled foreigners, !, and was the envied of her set. t1 I Jut one morning last winter the intel- j f ligencc came like a shock that she was I1 married, had been married a year, and to j * a worthless young fellow scarcely older !' than herself?poor, but already a drunk- 1 c aril and gambler.

A BATTLE IN A JAIL. Tragic Eudlntf of nit Old Feud in Dc Kail), Mis*. Several years since, in De Kail), Miss., Ben. llush, a native white Republican, fireil at Julm W. Gully, a Democrat, missing him, but killing his brother,(Sam Gully. John thereupon fired, lesperatelv wounding Rush, who finally recovered, since which, and previously, it is said, a deadly feud existed between them. Last December Gully was waylaid, shot and seriously wounded by Rush, so Gully said. Rush disappeared and has not been seen since. The assas siiiation of Mr. Gully recently is bclioved to be his work. The tragic death >f Mr. Gully, who whs personally biown to everybody, having onee beeii sheriff, brought together many persons seeking information and to attend the funeral, which occurred several miles from De Kalb. At the funeral much excitement prevailed and it was with difficulty an orderly sepulture was had. On the same day, upon affidavits by divers parties, warrants were issued for the arrest of W. \Y. Chisolm, J. P. Gilmer, 1). Rosenbamn and Hopper. The reported threats by Chisolm aud Gilmer grew as they flew and inllamed the white people, ft'ho retrarded them as almost public ;nemies. Oilman lind just returned :rom jail in St. Lonis, where he had jeen taken by requisition 0:1 several ;harges of fraud. Cliisolm aided in naking his bond there. Chisohn was irrested, and placed under guard at his evidence in De Kali). A crowd demandid that he should go to jail where he was iccordiugly taken, his wife, daughter ind young son accompanying him inside. He retained a brace of revolvers. it his (Chisolm's) request guards] were itatioued outside, and also in the hall ipstairs where he was placed, the perions coiuposiug the guard being designated by himself. Six or oiglit of them vero inside, armed with double barreled funs. Hopper was also arrested and )laced in another part of the jail. Then Gilmer, appearing on the street, wis arrested and soon surrounded by a rowd, and seeing another crowd near he jail, and doubtless feeling fearful, he uade a sudden effort to escape, dashing hrough the crowd and running, but as le was passing between two houses some ersons in the crowd fired, killing him nstantly. Rosenbaum, who was taken rith frilmpv. -\viis lodged in iail. At bout throe o'clock p. m several of the tisidc guards, becoming wearied, revested the slieriif to relieve them. He old each to bring the particular person tamed to relieve him. Four or five reired together, 1 wiving their guns leaning gainst the wall. Directly several perons came up the stairway, as relief ruards, of whom, it is thought, Dr. Dave losser, who was foremost, was one. Jefore the door could be secured behind hem a crowd rushed in. Chisolm seized 11 the guns left by the guards, retired o the end of the hull and tired, killing losser. "While in the act of firing a econd shot, his vouncr son John ran .cross in front of liiin, receiving the Large, which killed him instantly, ^iring now became general and proniseuous. Chisohn'e wife and daughter lung to him, the latter receiving a round in the wrist. Chisolm himself ell desperately, and it is supposed aortally, wounded, but lie still survives. )ne McClellan, an adherent of Chisolm, nd one of the inside guards, who renamed, somehow escaped from the mildiug, but was killed immediately ftcrward. Virgil Gully, a nephew of 'olm, the deceased, received a ball in he jaw and spat it out cf his mouth, leveral others were grazed with balls or iad their clothes perforated. Hopper ml Rosenbaum were not harmed, zhisolm, Gilmer and McClellan were k'liitc Republicans, Rosser and Virgil lully Democrats. A Curious Storm of Lightning. A 4 ? wv,._,.4 tl,r> TPvnn/il. .11/ a xvjvciic iiitvi:up v/x iiiv x leaderay of Sciences, a paper, giving the ol lowing curious description of a storm ibserved by M. Edward Blanc, on March !l, at Ycuce, in the Var, was read: 'The weather had been variable during he day; at seven a. m. a hail-storm, hcompanied with thunder, had swept over he whole northern seaboard of the tfcditonanean from west to east.; Trejus, Intibes, Cannes, Nice and Monaco had )cen visited, but the center of the torlhdo was several leagues away on the iea, where the clomls had a characteristic iopper tint. Veii'*e had been but sliglitly ouched, had had some intermittent rain ningled with hailstones, and occasional .quails. During the rest of the day the tun shone out, and at intervals a big .(lack cloud would travel from west to :ast, letting fall a shower of rain lasting mt a few minutes. Thp sun was warm, tud set in a cloudless horizon. About uidnight, M. Blanc was suq)rised to sec lunicrous flashes of lightning to the sast, the sky overhead being clear. Chere was no thunder, although the phenomenon could not be at any great iistauce. Ai. Jilano proceeded to a spot vhere nothing coulil obstruct the obierver,aud saw the whole eastern horizon sovered by a layer of black clouds, over vhich a number of light and tiecey cirri vere skimming in various directions; the reneral appearance was that of a dense liassin ebulition, on the surface of which iglit scori:e were dancing about. To he northeast of Vence, and at n distance )f eighteen kilometres or thereabouts, a arge black cloud seemed to be exccedingy disturbed; it was constantly, rising and ailing, and above it fireballs resembling ockets issuing from a bouquet of fireworks seemed to start from an invisible :enter, flew about in every direction, ind after passing over a space of from iix to eight degrees, would burst silently, eaving a dazzliug train behind. The ipparent diameter of these balls was ibout one degree; they moved slowly, md the phenomenon was repeated three )r four times in two minutes. From :ime to time the cloud was torn by a Hash of lightning, accompanied by a rumbling souud." Maple Sugar Statistics. A few figures about the maple sugar business are succrestcd by the fact that this reason thirty-rive tons of the sugar Imve been shipj>ecl to market- from Brattleboro, Yt. The best estimate puts the riehlof a tree at twelve to twenty-four, *ay eighteen, gallons a season, and of <ugar not over fonr pounds. That is, eighteen quarts of sap make ft pound; consequently there were boiled, about Brattleboro, to make 70,000 pounds- of ugar, 1,260,000 quarts of sap, which were the yield of 17,500 treos. Supposing that, the country through, there are 100 places where as much sugar is made is about Brattleboro, then a total of 31*300,000 gallons of sap is drawn every spring. No doubt this is far less than the actual amount, yet it would weigh about 252,000,000 pounds or 120,300 tons, and would make a far greater liquid mass than some of the reservoirs that have, in bursting, caused such disaster in the past few years. A pound of wood Durneu raises iw^my-suvun u> thirty-six pounds of water from thirtytwo degrees to the boiling point. Assuming that a pound oi ordinary forest slathering would boil the water out of thirty-six pounds of sap, it appears that it would take 7,000,000 pounds (3,500 tons) of wood to moke a season's sugar; xnd also that the lire wood burned just nbout equals in weight the sugar produced. Trees lmvc to be tapped; fuel lias to be gathered, if not prepared; and thirty-five pounds of water have to be boiled away before the sugar is reached; moreover several week? ore spent at the work. What wonder that foreign substances sometimes creep into the pans.? Hartford Co" rant.

Tlio results of experiments witi felts, cements and other compositions have bi far been anything but satisfactory. Numerou no-called ''cheap roofings" have been produced advertised, used and found worthless. In viev of these facts we aro glad to be able to spea! favorably of an article which, from our owi knowledge and the testimony of some of th most extensive and best known manufacturer and merchants in this country, has proven reliable and economical substitute for the mor expensive kinds of roofing. We refer to II \Y.
