They were tracked for nearly a mile. During tbe progriss of tbe shower on Sat urday evening, the dwelling of J. W. Gantt, Esq., in Centre twp., was struck by light ning. A part ot the roof was broken iu, and bad commenced to burn, but being discov ered in good time was soon put out. None of the fanrilv were hurt. Satur day evening at about half -past eight o'clock the barn en tbe farm of the late Peter Mon ger in Miller twp., a short distance from Loh Run, was struck by lightning which set it on fire, consuming tbe building and contents except tbe horses. Among the ar ticle burned was a sleigh, buggy, threshing machine and various other farming implements.- There was an insurance of $700 on the property. William 3 .

He was an honest man, a genial neighbor, a loving husband, a kind father. aud a consistent christian. Tbat he was very highly esteemed an-1 belovnd by those wbo knew him is attested by the large con course of neighbors who gathered around his dying bed in sympathy and love oa the occasion of kts sickuesa.

From the Newport Le dger of May 28 t During tbe heavy thunder storm wMch pass ed over this valley last Saturday nixht about eight o'clock, tbe barn on tbe Peter Metzgar estate, in Miller township, wbout a half mile soutb-west of Losb's Rua Station, was struck by lightning and set oa fire. The barn contained several bead of horsos, one cow, two wagons, two sleighs, buggy, threshing machine, drill, wiudmiU, barrow, bay and straw, harness, Ilc., all of which were burned except the horse. There was no one at home except a son and two daughters, at the time of the fire, and as soon as the young man discovered thst the building was on fire he went to rescue the horses aod cow (the other cattle and sheep were in tbe barn yard aod escaped), and succeeded after much trouble in getting out the horses, but the row was lying down and seeming to have been paralyzed, he was forced to leave her perish. Tbe loss is estimsted, at $1,200 ; insurance for $950 in tbe Lurgan Mutual on tbe building and contents. II. B. Cnmbler, hsd a half inter est In the phosphate drill that was burned. Mr. Cumbler says tbat he was not over four hundred yards away from tbe barn when tbe lightning struck it, aril when be reached tbe scene he was unable to get in to it to nave anything, on account of the heat. Last Saturday night, while tbo storm wss raging and the air was highly charged with electricity, a large quivering Dame was seen perched on tbe top of CapL F. M. Mc Keeban's barn, in Centre township. Tbe phenomenon remained for some seconds. being seen by members of the family, and finally seemed to dart to the earth on the othet side of tbe barn. This class of ph en omens is quite harmless and usually makes itself visible on the points of non-conductors or of insulated eoudoctora. The barn or Mr. J. W. Williamson, n6ar Liverpool, was alsj struck by lightning, Saturday evening, and burned with its con tents, which consisted ol hay, straw, and agricultural iuiplemonta.

It will he necessary to put an entire new roof on tbe bouse. The old tannery building at Loysville, was struck by ligbtuiug oa Saturday, an t set on tire, but the flames were extinguish ed. Two families live in the second story of the building, hut none of the members were injured. The McMeen murder Case. Last week, a synopsis of the reasons filed V, 17, 1886, why a new trial should be granted, was published in thesecolumns. In this week's issue we publish thirteen addi tional reasons that McMoen's lawyers filed May 28, 1880. They are aa follows s 1st. That, A. K. Markle, one of the ju rors ia the case, was not comDetentoranal. ified to act as a juror, he being at present a pensioner on tbe United States Government for an injury to his head occasioned by the falling of some bricks from a chimney, whkb injury, according to certificate of a physician, has effected his mind. 2nd. That, said juror, had formed and ex pressed an opinion as to the guilt of tbe defendant before he was empanelled as a juror in the case. 8rd. That, said juror, before the evidence was all in said to his fellow iurors.Mv ver dict is here," accompanying the words with the act of striking his breast, and fur ther saying that his verdict would be guil ty. 4th. That, after the jury had retired to make np their verdict, and had taken a bal lot which resulted in a vote of seven for ac- qnittal and five for conviction, the said, A. a,. Markle, became sullen, withdrew from among his fellow jurors and refused to eat his supper when it was brought to tbe room. declaring, tbat he would not eat with men who would vote as his fellow Jurors had voted. 6th. That, finally, when the voting bad reached eight to four in fsror of convic tion, tho juror above named and one or two ethers assured tbo four who beld for acquit tal, that it was in evidence that defendant bad aaid to one of the witnesses for the Commonwealth that he was on fiis wsy to MUflintown to boy medicine for bis wife and baby, and that Nancy McMeen had said on the day before bar death, that on the next day she was going to take a dose of quinine, that the jurors for acquittal declared they bad not heard this evidence, and that then A. K. Markle and Charles Farleman had per suaded them that it was not heard became they were either deaf or because they bad sat on the back row ot seats, that at last be ing convinced that it was so io evidence and bad escaped their hearing, tbey yielded and voted for conviction, which, otherwise they would not have done. I 6th. Thst, on tbe first day of the trial be fore the jury waa sworn, bnt alter it was se lected, certain members of the jury were permitted to go out ol the Court Room, that one, Thadeua Switzer, within tbe hearing of the jurors aforesaid, expressed bimseir in load, strong language as to his belief in the prisoner's guilt and that he onght to be bung. 7th. That, since the trial number of witnesses have been found who saw Mrs. MoUt burn the papers, as she testified, thus to. a certain extent, corroborating the testi mony of Mrs. A. J. Moist, which was so vi tally important to the defendant. 8th. That, the sullen, unreasonable con duct of one ol the jurors, Markle. exerted an intimidating influence on the minds of other jurors, Inducing them to reach a ver dict which is not at all warra ited by the testimony of the case. 9th. Tbe Court erred ia thst, at any time it permitting the jury to separate, tha af fording it an opportunity to be reached by the prejudice aod excitement which prevail- ,ed snnong the outside people. lOlh. A conviction which has been search ed, not only by purely circumstantial evi dence, but also, by presuming tbat, which ought to be proven aa an evidentiary fact, is an illegal and unwarranted conviction, which onght not to stand. In such a esse we be lieve the Court onght not to hesitate in promptly granting a new trial. Where a ease is purely circumstantial, all the circuui stances, at least should be proven, none of them should be presumed. llth. In a capital case where there exists from the evidence not only a reasonable doubt of guilt, but, also, a strong probabil ity of innocence, a new trial can do no harm whereas, a refusal of a new trial may do untold barm. 12th. In a capital case, unless a convic tion has been reached by the clearest and most convincing kind of evidence, a new trial should always be granted. 13th. Under the evidence in this case there ought not to have been a conviction. Thanks. Mr. and Mrs. Dr. W. J.
