Porter, a retired wool manufacturer of Auburn, attempted to commit suicide by stabbing himself over the heart with a penknife. He made fourteen wounds and then fainted from exhaustion. Bad health and involved circumstances is given as the cause for the deed. As Nelson Ilorrine and hi* family of five were going to Kokomo, lightning struck their wagon. Both horses were knocked down and the wagon shattered, bnt the occupants all escaped death, although they were unconscious for a time. A little boy, the least affected, says they were surrounded with a shower of sparks of fire and flying splinters.

The will will probably lie contested by interested parties, and tli» Board of the Home has authorized tbe President of the Ohio Joint Lutheran Svnod, under the control of which th« Home is, to employ an attorney to look out for their interests. Lightning during a severe storm struck a group of seventeen horses in the stock farm of James Bradhy, six miles south of ■'ranklin, and killed them instantly.

About a month ago a tire was discovered In the County Auditor’s office, al Decalur As the doors of the office were locked and the Fire Department had to break into Ihf office, the origin of the lire could not la accounted for. An investigation showed that among the undestroyed orders many were found to be raised to from two to tet times their original value.

Pumice Htontu It is popularly stippuscil, particularly after the eruption of a volcano, that puniicu stone ought to be plentiful and cheap, ns <|imntitli.-s must have been ejected during the volcanic disturbance. Amt matter of fact, however, none of the white stone in general use is obtained from active volcanoes. Il comes from Ute deposits of the article discovered in one or two quarters of the globu, the best of which is lit present to tai found in the islard of Lipuri, situated in the T'yrrnhenian Sea. The island is mountainous in character and consists ot tolls umi lavas, and of highly siliceous volcanic products. The district where the etone is found is called Campo Blanco or Monte Petalo (1,500 feet above the level of the sea.) After riding a considerable distance, partly along precipitous paths, sulllciently dangerous to be interesting, and partly through vineyards and over grassy plains, one almost comes suddenly upon a seemingly snow-clad valley inclosed by bills, also quite white, and the whole glaringly bright on a sunny day. Into these hills workmen are ceaselessly Jiligging deep burrows, working within by candlelight. In their excavations they come across many lumps of pumice stone, which are placed in baskets, subsequently being conveyed along the valley to the seashore, where small boats are loaded and sailed to the seaport near by, where the stone is sorted, packed and shipped to distant points, either via Messina or Leghorn. Alxirnt, Minded. The story is told of a famous mat tiematician that he was frequen ly guilty during his courtship of walking tiie greater |>art of a mile with the young lady of his choice without speaking. One evening she tooa advantage of his absentmindedneM to play bim a trick. She slipped her hand from his arm and hurried homo a nearer way. He continued to hold his arm in the same position, walked up to the steps of her father’s house, rang the belt, when, to his astonishment, she herself opened the door. He stared in an incredulous manner and exclaimed, •‘Why, S , how in the world did you get on that side of the de or?” Mammoth Cave fiats. In the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky are found blind rats which have large and lustrous eyes. When exposed for a month or so to a mild light they acquire u dim perception of objects.

The truth is that local treatment nnd examinations are nearly always unnecessary. They should not be submitted to ’till everything else fails.
