8 ic tmc0,;Mu) Blomnficli, .Ipo. An Incident of the Metis Disaster -Mistaken Identity. Geo. V. Howard, of Rome, New York, was married at Bbaron Springs, on Wed nesday, and was on his way to visit his brother in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, when he lost hU bride ot a day by the late Metis disaster. The next morning what was supposed to be his wife's body was found, and it was reported that her funeral-would take place at Sharon Springs. The initials "N. A." were the same as on his wife's rings, though it was of a different pattern, yet he did not feel positive that it was his wife. Being nearly exhausted himself, and not in a condition to think much about it, he concluded it must be her. Accordingly a ooffln was procured at Stonington, and he startedSaturday mor ning for the home of his loved one. He arrived there Saturday evening with what he supposed were the remains of his wife, but, on opening the coffin at the residence of his wife's parents, they discovered at once that it was not their daughter. The scene that followed can be better imagined than described. The afflicted husband at once returned to Stonington, and forward ed the corpse by express. When he ar rived, he found another man searching for the body he had supposed was his wife. In the mean time his friends at Pawtucket had heard of the lady who was picked up by the schooner A. B. Beldon and taken to Newport, and had telegraphed to the under taker for a description, which he gave, and at the same time had a photograph taken and sent also. This convinced them that the body which had been in that city since Friday night was no other than the wife of Mr. Howard. He, in company with his father, arrived there the next morning, and at once identiiled her. A Female Poisoner. Mrs. Charlotte Lamb has boon arrested at Trumbull, Pierce County, Wisconsin, and placed in Ellsworth Jail, charged with poisoning fivo persons. In September, 1871, her husband died very suddenly, showing symptoms of poisoning. In May last, her son, aged ten years, became sud denly ill, was affected like his father and 'died within an hour. In June last, a daughter aged, eight years, died equally suddenly. Last month Mrs. Lamb went to Mrs. Jane Oltman's house, to assist, in taking care of her while sick. , She mixed a powder for her patient, which Mrs. Olt mau drank, complainedalmost immediately of violent pains in the stomach and in a Xew minutes was dead. .Royal Gailand, another neighbor of Mrs. Lamb's, is her last victim. Mrs. Lamb was cooking for him during harvest, and one day last week, after drinking a cup of tea prepared by her, he was seized with violent pains, and died in a short time. The stomach of Mr. Gar land has been analyzed. . Mi's. Lamb's house was searched, and both strychnine and arsenic were found. E3F"During a thunderstorm in Liverpool, England, two or three weeks ago, says the London Echo,' a young lady was standing in the greenhouse in her aunt's garden, when a flash of lightning came and tore away the roof of the greenhouse. The young lady fled in terror into the house, with the general impression that if she were not quite killed, she was, at least mortally injured. Upon examination it turnod out that she was scatheless, only her chignon was gone. On search being made in the gardon thcmissing article was found, reduced to the eizo of a ball of wors ted, itserewhile dark color permaturely changed to gray, and the concern being, generally speaking, "frizzled" beyond re demption. The change of color in the chig non is perhaps even more remarkable, than the wearer's escape. Instances of a per son's hair growing gray in a brief porlod of terror are common enough, but this is the first occasion within our knowlsdgo of a chignon being similarly affected. CSThe Crawford Journal, of the 20th ult, relates the following horrible acci dent: W. U. Payne, agent of the Roberts torpedo company, for Rouseville and vi cinity, was instantly blown to pieces by a glycerine explosion on Monday. Small fragments of the body were found scat tered over several acres of ground and wore gathered up and buried on Tuesday.

They cannot alto gether see "how the old thing works," and they are simple enough to think that it is the device of the devil, and that the wires re coated with the blood of young wo men, and that the census now being taken is for the sole purpose of finding out the nura bor of available Japanese maidens whose blood will do for telographio purposes.
