Lover Struck by Lightning Au ICng
llshBouutry Tragedy.
A melaucholy interest surrounds the
details respecting the deaths of Thomas
Hardalcer and Emma Carrie k-, the two
L lovers who were strack dead by light
ning on Sunday night, in the toot-path
lead in? from Stanningley to Farsley. It
appears that the couple had both been
Sunday school teachers at Saint James
' Church, Stanningley, and had keptcom
pacy two or three years, the young wo
I man being employed as a weaver, and the
j young man traveling about the country
t with his brother, James Hardaker,. iu
i charge ot a toy and fancy bazaar. Last
week, being Farsley featt, the bazaar
' was pitched there, and Thomas Hardaker
availed himself of the opportunity to pay
i his sweet heart, Emma Oarrick oecas
' ional visits.
The bazaar was got ready on Saturday
night for removal to Holbeck at sir on
3londay morning; and, as the couple
. were to be married in November,, they
.were anxious to be together as much
as possible before parting. In the
afternoon they took tea at her father's
house, and in the evening were at Fars
ley.' They appear to have been on their
i way to the youog woman's home at Stan-
oingley when the calamity occurred.
They took the path across the fields,
' and were last seen alive in conversation
in' " sniekett," a narrow road between
two walls terminating the foot-path in the
direction j6f Stanningley. They appear
to have retraced their steps to Farsley,
and: to Lave stood for shelter in the shad
ow of the wall, on the foot-path leading
. to Jflr. Uutler's path, close to the field
path, and- bear to a stile road, which was
protected" by an Jron railing. On the
south side of the wall is a plantation of
young trees, and some fifty yards further
on, on the north side, are other irou rail
ings, the 'unfortunate pair standing be
tween the iron stile and palisading to the
westward.
The storm came from the westward,
and it is supposed that the electric fluid
-attracted by the mass of iron, swept on
ward to that guarding the stile road, and
on its way struck down the. lovers, as
they were found lying apart a few yards
from the wall, the young man stretched
on his back, and his unfortunate partner
on her face,her umbrella or parasol lying
under her body.
The only mark of the action of the
lightning on the bodies of the unhappy
pair was to be seen in their faces, which
were scarred and burnt about the fore
head and nose. Ilardaker's right boot
was ripped up, a small hole was burnt in
bis purse, and two or three other holes in
his shirt," and his money gold, silver
and copper was partially melted, two
shilling pieces being fused together ; but
rather singularly, the young woman's
purse and its contents were untouched.
When the bodies were washed and laid
out they appeared to be only asleep, the
young lady's countenance having a pleas
ing expression, and the color remained
sometime in her cheeks. London Times

One Hundred Thousaue Dollard for a
Horse.
Mr. Robert Bonner of the New York
Ledger, offers one hundred thousand
dollars for a horse that will equal the
recent performance of Dexter a mile to
heavy wagon in 2:21. A hundred
. thousand dollars seems a fabulous price
for a horse ; but there is no doubt tha
Mr. Bonner would draw his check for
that sum any day for the peer of Dex
ter. -
There is no telling what speed may be
shown hereafter : but the opinion seems
almost as universal and fixed among
j horsemen that Dexter never will be equal
ed as it is that he never has been. We
i saw Mr. Bonner drive him, a few days
ago, at Prospect Park, where he
evidently did not dolus best, in 2:181.
The" only horseman we know of who
expresses any expectation of ever owning
a rival to Dexter's time is President
Grant; but we apprehend that he will
become less hopeful after the experiment
in preceding trotters shall have progress
ed farther. i
The most promising young horse in
the country to-day probably, is a colt, as
yet unnamed, but. we believe, to be
oalled ; Edward Everett, which is also
owned by Mr. Bonner, and is now in
training in the country. He has made
the fastest time ever made by a five
year old. This celt is of the same stock
with Dexter and is said to have a finer
way of going in the opinion of the most
skillful and practised horseman than
was ever before shown by a colt.
-There is one service of great utility
which Mr. Bonner might render to the
world. . He undoubtediyi,possesse8 a more
i complete and thorough knowledge of the
horse's foot that any other man that ever
lived. No better evidence of his skill
could be furnished than is seen in the
improved feet of Dexter. When Mr.
Bonner bought him, one forward foot
was smaller than the other, and very
defective and tender. This has enlarged,
and is now natural and perfect. Form
erly Dexter never "trotted without boots
on ; but now he never wears them, and
does not touch a - hair.
If Mr. ' Bonner were to put all his
knowledge into a book, amply illustrated
- by plates, it would be a most valuable
work. But there is no chance of his
ever having leisure or inclination to do
this. New York Sun.

nsed every remedy. I called in several physi

every remedy known to the medical profession,
and received no benefit. ' This Lang and. Liver
Balsam cured me, and I do not hesitate to recom
mend it to the public as a good and safe remedy
to tbe public and my friends. . It Is good, and
those who know me, as many do in this Btate, as
I have lived in many parts of it, know that I
would not recommend them to nse a thing that

The Hon. Jno. E. Sanford, Insurance Commis

speaking of Dividends in Life Insurance Compa
nies, says , " Tbe sooner such guarantees cease
to be made, and such expectations created, the
sooner Life Insurance will come to rest on its true
motive, and men insure their lives for security,
and not for dividends. The best and the most
popular companies will then be those that prom
ise only equity, and render all that tbey promise,
and furnish the best security, with the most up
right and judicious management."
By the Stock plan the full cash effect of the
premium is immediately secured to the insured,
the Company taking all the risk. By the Mu

" GAY " PLOWS,
Manufactured and sold for the very low price of

TITE simplicity and practicability of this new
Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. It possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on tbe
nnplowed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. The plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. Tbe supe
riority of the "Gay" Plow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate-:
We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county,
Oregon, having purchased and nsed upon our
farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught, because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage ; also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the wood-work being con
structed of wrought iron no castings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking off
land and in plowing, not having to make the nec
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is
always level, not throwing the driver forward or
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of it ean be accomplished by the nse of this
Plow than by band. ,
We take pleasure in recommending the "Gat"
Plow to our brother farmers, as one having no
superior in Oregon

Watches. We have received one of the new
Gold Metal Watches from C. E. Collin. A Co., of
San Franciseo. .It is neatly finished, hunting
case, keeps good time and is, without douVt. the
best watch for the price that ean be purchased in
San Francisco. La Porte Union.
What NextT Cheaper than silver looking
and wearing like gold neither plated or galvan
ised are the new Gold Metal Watches we saw
last week at our friend Collins'. If we had not a
gold watch which we have to pay each year $2
to "Uncle Sam" for the privilege ef wearing wo
certainly would have a Gold Metal. Watch.
