THEKE are at present eight spots on the sun which can be seen with a field glass of moderate power covered with smoked glass, one ntar the right-band edge just below the middle b.-ing visible to the nak-e l eye on clear mornings toon after sun­rise. It has been shown by observation that these spots have some connection •with the variations of the magnetic needle, and with the earth's magnetic currents, and also with displays of the "northern l ights ." The large spot has been estimat­ed to be'.10,000 miles across—so large that ttn globes the size of the earth, placed side by side, would not cover it.

T H E St. Albans Messenger is authority for the story that two ladies arrived at Rouses Point from the south, Feb. lOtb, where they met two gentlemen who gave the ladies §500 for a box, which they agreed to not open until they got to Mon­treal, and when the box was opened on Canadian soil by the customs inspector, it was found to contain nothing but an or­dinary brick, instead of a silver brick, which they doubtless thought they were getting. The story may be true, but people will prevaricate, even right in the sciuvon of the birthday of the man who couldn't lei I a lie.

Fata!Ac*DU[AniollHilL Throe Ion CnuM to Dealh and Tiro

Men Dartly Hurl. Our correspondent of Ausable sends

t h ' fo'lowing account of the terrible ac­cident at Arnold Hill, Feb. 17, by wbicfc three men were lulled.

Another fatal accident occurred at Ar-nolJHi l l , Wednesday morning, Feb. 17, a' about niue o'c ock. A large quantity or rock in the south pit at tbe Nelson B ish mine fell upon five miners who were w -Tiring at the bottom of the shaft.

Cornelius Dewey, William Nolan and Henry Palinode were killed, the last two being so deeply covered that their bodies cannot be recovered for some time. Pat­rick Dowd was badly hurt, a part of his foot being cut off and other injuries re­ce ived. Thomas Russell was caught by tbe falling rock and held down where he would have been drowned by the rising water, but a pump was soon started and the water kept down. For some time it was thought that he could not be got out alive, but timbers were placed over him t o protect him and his rescuers from the falling rock and after about two hours he was extricated and though badly bruised it is thought that he may recover. Nolan leaves a large family. D e w e y was also a married man and Patinode was single.

LATER.

The bodies of Nolan and Patinode are buried under hundreds of tons of rock which covers them to the depth cf forty fe i t . A large quantity has fallen to-day, Thurs­day, and it is thought that they cannot be recovered in less than two or three weeks as all the rock has to be raised to the sur­face, there being no room for it in the mine.

The accident was caused by the giving a-way of the old timbers that have sup­ported the refuse rock that has bcea ac­cumulating for 20 or 30 years.

Thomas Russell who was caught by the falling rock and held there nearly three hours before be could be got out seems to ba doing well at present, A coroner has been summoned to hold an inquest over the dead miners.

Pittsburgh Military Post Extension.

P i t t s b u r g h lias fulfilled her p a r t of the Contract .

A copy of the Report of Hon. D. 8. Alexander, TJ. S. District Attorney of Buffalo has been received by the Platts-

burgh local committee on the Military Post enlargement in "which it is said re­garding the landi given by citizens of Piattsburgh ''in all cases the title is en­tirely satisfactory to this office, and it is believed will be so to the Department of Justice" except in "Search No . 1" and tbat without the piece of land involved in

this search "there are conveyed to the Government more than five hundred acres, Which the act of February 7, 1891 calls for."

PlaUsburjrh lligrh School's T h r l r lag Condition.

Piattsburgh High school's share of the Academic Fund of ihe State University this year is $630,20, or nearly double that of any former year. This fund is depen­dent upon the results of the Regents' ex­aminations and of the attendance in the High school, and when it is remembered

t i a t t h e h i g h e s t a p p o r t i o n m e n t to a n y

scaool in the state has not hitherto ex­e s :ded $1,500 the credit of our excellen t school rise3 in proportion. Resides this the library fund of Piattsburgh High School uue from the Academic Fund is (§353.36.) This comes from the regulation whereby there is given through the State Regents to any High School under their control an amount of money for its li­brary fund equal to the amount raised by the school itself for that purpose. Piatts­burgh* High School raised thi3 amount $'352.36 from its lecture course last year, so that with the like amount due from the State Academic Fund there is now-available for Piattsburgh High School Library Fund the handsome sum of $704.•

A Wonderful Display of "Sonhern L i g h t s . "

Last Saturday evening there Was one of the most wonderful displays-of tbe Au­rora Borealis that has been witnessed for many years. It commenced toon after tbe twilight bad faded, with tbe usual dark, low arch in tbe north, croWned by rays of White light, and nothing out of the unusual order was observed until soon after seven o'clock when tbe streamers began to exhibit a ruddy g low here and there, shooting far up towards the zen­ith, and before half past seven tbeae

c o l o r e d r a y s m a s s e d t h e m s e l v e s i n t h e

northwest, covering some twenty degrees on the horizon, with a deep blood color and streaming up in broad sheets from ten t> seventy degrees. At half past seven the appearance was wonderful, and many people believed that a great fire was raging the sky being blood red, and the rays^or rather sheets of color rising and falling like flames. This appearance continued for about half an hour, holding until the au­roral display bad ended elsawbere, farther to tbe east, and at 8 o'clock it had entirely f ided out. Arctic voyagers tell of these wonderful appearances in connection with the "northern lights" but such a sight la rarely seen in thee* latitudes. Dr. Lard-aer says in bis lecture on the Aurora Borealis, "Manperlius describes one seen by hiat in Lapland, by which an extensive region of the heavens toward the south appeared tinged with so lively a red that the whole constellation of Orion seemed as if dyed with blood."

In Thompson's "Natural History of Vermont there is recorded a wonderful display which occurred on tbe evening of Jan. 25th, 1837, in which a broad red belt caused a light "equal to the full moon, and the snow and every other object from which it was reflected, was deeply tinged with a red or bloody hue."

The same display was described by the Albany Evening Journal of Jan. 36, 1837 thUS:

At an early hour aa Aurora*** took tbe the form of aa arch spanning tbe s k y at aa elevation of 45 degrees aad flowing with hues of tbe deepest criaasoa. Below it, lay reatlag o a tbe aorisoa, a dark pur­ple cloud which seat out towards the arch of Are, vivid streamers of white aad greea light. Tbe arch itself gradually moved towards tbe aeailb; t o a point south of which i t co net natty eaaitted rays of bril­liant cfiaatou. A t s t o u t 8 o'clock she whole

The recent death, in Brooklyn (Feb . 11th), of Mr. Harvey F. Aubery, a former resident of Piattsburgh, recalls an inci­dent in the early history of the Cham-plain Valley, which once more verifies the old adage, "Truth is stranger than fiction."

Mr. Aubery was born in Jericho, Vt. , in ISO!, and when quite young cumc to

Piattsburgh, where he worked at the trade of cabinet-making. In 1827, he re­moved to N e w i'ork and later took a prominent part in politics, being a staunch Democrat and a leading member of Tam­many Hall during Pierce's administration, serving as deputy collector of the port of New York, and holding an office in the Department of Public Wotks under Bu­chanan. He was also prominently con­nected with the Masonic and Odd Fellows' orders, being the organizar and prometer, with John A. Kennedy, late superinten­dent of the New York police department, of Tompkins Lodge, N o . 9, I. O. O. F. , and he was a charter member of Sylvan Grove Lodge of Masons.

The following is the incident referred to, as communicated by letter by Mr. Aubery to Dr. D. S. Kellogg, of this yil-lage, whose father, the late Nelson Kel-lo?g, of Essex, Vt . , Was a cousin of Mr. Aubery:

"You also wished to learn something of tbe family of Aubery. * * * All I know is what I remember of my father saying—that his father, John F. Aubrey—was born in France or Germany, was educated in Germany as a surgeon and physician; came to this country early tft tbe Revolution; that be married a Miss Woodwortb. In 177S my father was born; soon after he (Dr. Aubery), went with the army, and was taken by tbe Indians, and it was reported all were killed. My father was named after his father, John F. Aubery. After a while my father's mother married Mr. Abel Castle, in Essex, my father then being a little boy living with his mother and his stepfather, Abel Castle. In about nine or ten years, by some strategy, Doctor Aubeiy got clear from the Indians,and made his way t J find his wife and ebild. He beard that she was married again, and was told where he could find her. Ihe first she knew he walked In Mr. Castle's bouse, and there met his wire and three children. My father said thrxe was a great t ime; his mother fainted. Mr-Castle came in and the two husbands met. Of course no one* was in fault. Tbe Whole matter was talked .over; neighbors consult­ed, and the matter was left to tbe wife which man to live with, she having two or three

children by Castle, decided to lire with him-Whether there was any legal separation or not I can ' t s a x , t>ut p r e s n i n e there w a s . Z>r. Aubery went to tbe south part of Vermont and there married and raised a family • * * and with bis family moved to Krle. Pa., where he died about 1816. • * • My father remain­ed in Essex with the Castle family."

O. S. I have a valuable brood mare, which is troubled with pin-worms. About every three Weeks she scours for three or four days. Please let me know through the columns of the Piattsburgh RIITJULI-CAN the causes, and what will cure it.

A s s . — T h e scouring is due to the worms. Give raw linseed oil, 1 pint, with spts. terebinthine ii ozs. , on an empty stomach, every two weeks, until there is a change.

FARMER. 1 Wish you would tell me through the Piattsburgh REPUHLIOAN what is required in the following case: I have a five-year-old gelding, that although not working and well fed and cared for, keeps thin and acts unwell at times. A t times be seems to have no wind when driven, sweats easily. Hi s fasces are dry and seem to indicate an unhealthy state of the bowels. When in a box stall be rubs his tail. His appetite is always ab­normal.

A s s . ^ Y o u r beast is in a poor condi­tion, and you must attend to him before the spring or you may have trouble with him. Give aloes Barb, vii drams., zinzerb. pulv., i dram., in form of a pill. After this physic give him Pulv.'Gentian, Hi ozs . , Ferri sulph. ii ozs. , made into twelve powders, one night and morning.

an aspect and excited so much unneces­sary alarm in the minds of the ignorant and superstitious,, was ung'tesUonaHi/ow­ing to nothing more than the presence, of an unusual quantity of those dry exhala­tions, as they are termed, in one of tbe upper strata "of the atmosphere, which some'imes eive the sun itself a blood red appearanct***There is no end to the va­riety of modifications of the phenomena produced from this simple cauat***riiey have just as much to do with the phj'sical or moral calamities apprehended, by some of our enlightened fellow citizens, as the last snow storm has with the present high price of flour and butchers' meat.
