Old Maj. Green,, of the same county, was a Tory, and was also in the battle of King s Mountain, on the lory side. Alter the war Oreen was several times elected to the State Senate, from Rutherford county, and seemed invincible. In 1823 Alexan der determined to have Green beat en and brought out his sop as a candidate against him. Green be came apprehensive of defeat and concluded ihat something" must be done. IIo fell upon the idea ot joining the lsaptist church, and in carrying out the project was immers ed in the Broad river. Alexander, somewhat discouraged at this turn, but nothing daunted, went to witness the ceremony. Leaning ud against an old tree on the ba,nk of the river within speak ing distance of the scene, he silently and doubtingly watched the process of regeneration. Jverybody expect ed some kind of a declaration from him before the crowd dispersed. lust as Green was raised out of the water, wet as a rat, and gasping tor breath, Alexander, who was very tall and towered above the bystan ders, slowly raised his hand and pointed at him, at the same time saying in a loud and measured tone "There elands old Major Green, Now neat and clean, Thouch formerly a Torv, The damndest rascal, that ever was seen Aou) on his way to glory." ihis lurnished a campaign song and worked an overwhelming de feat of Green at the polls.

Considering that the 'Squire has been for years a con firmed invalid with what v.-as supposed to be consumption, his recovery seemed but little short of a miracle.

Great excitement has been caused in the vicinity of Paris, Tex., by the re markable recovery of Mr. J. E.

So Separate Records are kept n this country, and but few in others, of deaths, fires and other accidents by light ning; yet from the few public andprivale records we can get, we can make some approximate estimates. In Austria the public hre records lor eight years; 1871 to 1878, show that 4 J percent of the to tal number of fires that occurred from all sources were caused by lightning. The loss by fire in this country is f 120,000, 000 annually, and it is reasonable to sup pose that as large a per ct. ot the whole number of fires in this country is caused by lightning as originated from the same cause in Austria, and it is also reasona ble to suppose that tne loss of each hre, occasioned by lightning, will, on the av erage, be as much as the average loss of each fire originating from other causes. On this basis of estimating, which must be approximately correct, the citizens of this nation must expect to lose, during the next ten years, at least $50,000,000 wortn 01 property laom this cause alone, and to the loss by fire must be added the loss that occurs in a great number of cases when fire does not result from the lightning stroke. There are hundreds of such cases when great damage is done. The loss in such cases is probably half as great, if it docs not exceed that, as the loss by fire. This added makes an enormous aggregate of $1 6,500,000 that the inhabitants of this nation must ex pect to lose during the next decade from this source aloue. In making this estimate we have add ed nothing for the average annual in crease in loss by lire, and for the an nual increase in population during the next decade. If a reasonable per cent, be added on this score the amount would approximate S0,000,000. Is not the prop erty consideration alone sumcient to en gage the serious attention of the thought ful, saying nothing about the loss of life and personal injury that will result du ring that time. Such I063 can not be msnsured by dollars and cents. The only measure we have for them is the tears, tlift riprnetnal anmiiBh of soul, urtrl th Purief of those whose' loved ones are no more, and the unnecessary regrets of those who had it in their power to pi vide that protection that would ihaye saved some irom so sad a fate, but neg lected to do so. The great philosopher, Liehtenberg, ot (iottingen, said in tne year 1794; "Peo pie are struck and their dwellings are destroyed by lightning because they will have it so. it does not matter to us whether parsimony, carelessness, igno- rrnce, or anything else is the canse of this." Von Otto Buchner, of Weimar, Germany, asserts "that this dictum may be equally applied to the present genera tion." C.
