Ella Kehoe, daughter of Mra, Fuchs by a former husband, Was then called to the witness stand. She is v tty and bright child of eight years, and was eye-witness Of the murder save the accused the oily and his wile, In reply to questions of the District Attorney she h } said she Used Lo go to school and to Sunday school, but | when she was asked if she knew what would happen to her if she did not tell the truth she began to cry, Mr. | Britton satd that he had stated at the outset of the case that the child was wholly unreliable, and for that rea- son he bad determined not to call her, Counsel for the defence could use their own discretion about ex- amining her. The child was taken out of the court or a few minutes to enable her to regain her composure, Sho was again put on the stand and being questioned by counsel for defence said she understood that it was naugity to tella ie. Sho was then sworn and sald she slept in her own bed in North Third street; she remembered being awoke by Mr. Fuchs and saw her mamta on the floor on that Thursday night, To the District Atiorney—I remember secing In- spector Waddy at the station house and telling him that t saw Mr. Simmons sitting on the chair and saw | Mr. Fuchs who was hitting him om the neck with an xe; he was sitting in the chair when papa pulled him on the oor; Fuchs spit on tis hands and then ho gave him a crack’ and then he gave him another crack and then his head was off; Mr, Simmons wanted to go home and papa would bot let him go homeand he | made him drink more beer and then be killed him; before 1 came out of the room I heard Fuchs getthe axe; I saw Simmons on the floor and mamma was with him; ft is true that I told Mr, Waddy that Siinmons was sitting in a cbair when papa-struck lim with the axe; I also tola the same story to Mr. Snell. The child here pointed out the As- sistant District Attorney as the gentleman named. When papa came back the second time mamma and Simmons were sitting on the chair; then they were | sitting on the louoge with papa; then papa pushed him | off and bit a crack with the axeand kilied him. In rebuttal, Louis Armbruster, of Collinsville, Mass., testified :—Knew the prisoner in the old country, and worked there with him; I beard that he had been in prison there; his character was not very good. Martin Kister, of Collinsyillo, testified that be had | heard the character of Fuchs spoken of in Alsace, both good and bad, Robert Fletcher testified that he saw tho prisoner | ng an axe or hatchet at the shop on January $$; itwas on Thursday, | think, from two to | four o'clock. “That's our case” said the District Attorney. In sur rebuttal, John Knowles testified that he saw | Fuchs at the shop on Friday grinding an axe, That n the day alter the murder. On the cross-examination he said that he did not see nding the batchet, but saw him with the hatchet go toward the grindstone. John Lake testified that he saw Mr. Knowles and | Fuchs at the shop on Friday, January 28; the prisoner had an axe with him. ‘This terminated tho evidence, and Mr. Taylor asked the Court for the privilege of an adjournment, as ho | was physically disqnalited to open bis argument for had been ill all day. the Court was desirous of conclud- | ing the k, and believed that it might be | given to the Jur: ‘bt o'clock.

The Kentucky Story Robbed of Its Novelty. The Alps Wrapped in a Crimson Snow Mantle. | Rains of Human Hair, Blue Silk and Flies. een eeu Taking the exchanges as an index of the public mind, there scems to be a decided difference of opinion regarding the recent extraordinary rain in Kentucky. Many, not satisfied with accepting the story as true, make haste to invest its natural wonder with a touch of the supernatural, and accord to the phevomena a celestial origin and significauce. Others, while view- ing the matter more rationally, are still at fault when they denounce the whole story as the fabrication of the Kentucky mind and refuse to entertain the possibility of such a thing asasnower of ficsh. The general ac- ceptation of the word flesh, the diMficulty many people experience in getting it, and the absence of scientific corroboration of the recent story, combine to make it unacceptable to the general public. It is not the object of this article to prove the valid- ity of the Kentucky story, but to demonstrate its possi- bility in the light of history and scientific authority, In the foliowing data events of far greater mystery than the Kentucky rain will be found, and in the In- gelow story is the account of a rain which in many re- spects 1s similar to the late phenomena. Christian Godfrey Ehrenberg, the great German nat- uralist and microscopist, mentions cighty-ono dust storms which took place belore the Christian era, and about three times as many subsequently. The former of these are rather speculative, and a number of the latter will be found in his ‘‘Micro-geologie,” ‘The cases which follow are many of them historleal, and many others will be found in the works of Von Humboldt, Maury and Ehrenberg.

On the 5th aud 6th of November, 472, there was a grent fall ot black dust tn the neighborheod of Constan- tinople and the atmosphere seemed to be on fire, Pro- copius and Marcellus ascribed it to Vesuvius, In 652 red dust rained at Constantinople. In 869 a red rain fell for three hours in the vicinity of Brixen, in the Austrian Tyrol, In 929, at Bagdad, there was a great redness in the atmosphere and red sand fell. Jn 1056 thero was a fall of red snow in Armenia. In 1110, inthe provinco of Vaspouragan, in ruven: a dark night tn winter, a flaming body ell mto Lake Van. ‘The water became of the color of blood and the earth cracked open in several di- rections. In 1219 or 1222 arad rain fell in Bohemia, About this time there wus II of stone and a mass like coagulated blood, with a Nery meteor, In Thuringia, on the 6th of November, 1548, a ball of firo fell with great noise, and a reddish eubstance, like congulated blood, was afterward found on the ground. In Pomerania, in 1557, there tell large fakes of a sub- stance resembling coagulated blood, On the 24th of Vecember, 1560, at Liliebonne, in Lower Seine, France, there fell a meteor, followed shortly atter by red rain. AL the clore of a terrible tempest on the Sth of July, | 1682, there fell in Roci in Prussia, a quantity of | fibrous matter resembling human hair. ‘At Verden, in Hanover, on the 3d of December, 1586, there tell large quantities of matter, partly red and | partly black, accompanied by lightnings and thunder anda fiery meteor, which burst with loud noise, «In August, 1618, a meteor fell in Styria, accompanied by a shower of stones and a rain of blood. ‘At Tournay, in Belgium, in 1638, a red rain fell. In January, 1643, a bloody rain iell at Vachigen, and at Wemsberg, in the Kingdom of Wurtemburg. During the month of May, 1652, immediately follow. inga priliant saan ae aes et pe Om the 2 a fas ‘ere fell, near Laucha, Prussia, a shower of fibrous substance like biue sulk. On the Sist of January, 1686, there fell, simultane- ously in Norway and in parts of Pomerania, a great quantity of membranous substance, riable and black- The Baron which has been rved in acabinet of natural his- tory, and found in it silex, iron, lime, carbon, magne- sia, a trace of chrome and of suiphur, but not a particle | of nickel, always present in aerolites. On the 24th of March, 1718, om the Island of Lethy, in India, there fell a ball of fire cantatuing gelatinous matter, ‘On the 14th of October, 1755, a blood rain descended at Locrno, Switzerland, during which nine inches of rain fell, and the red matter that was deposited during the shower was found to be, by actual measurement, ‘an inch deep. The saine storm reached Swabia, on the Al) those high mountains it changed into a reddi which fell to a depth of nine feet. On the 8th of March, 1796, a viseid and resinous sub- stance tell near Bautzen, in Upper Lusatia, composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Chiadin Guyton de Morveau and Blumenbacn had specimens of it. It re- sembled in smell aad volor the dried gum of jumper. In July, 1811, thore fell near Heidelberg, in tho Grand Duchy of Baden, a gelatinous substance follow- tng the expioston of a meteor, August i 1819, a mass of gelatinous and very fetid matter fell at Amherst, in Massachusetts. On September 5, in 1819, at Studein, Moravia, be- tween eleven A. M. and noon, the atmosphere bein, serene and tranquil, there was a fail of little pieces o earth from a small cloud, isolated and very bright. In 1841 accounts were published of two showers of flesh and biood—one in Massachusetts, the other in Tennessee, THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAIN. In 1848 a similar phenomenon occurred in South Car- ohna, A man named Ingelow and bis two sons were picking cotton on his tation (in Laurens district, | near Eurole River, and about two miles below Mus: | grove's Mill); the younger son called to the others, | who were a little distance from hin, to listen, for he heard something falling near him. They het he was mistaken, and but little attention. He in- sisted that bis assertion was correct, and told them if they would come he would show them what had failen, They went and found the ground strewn with what ap- | peared to them to be pieces of meat, varying from the size of an ounce ball to larger than a hen’s egg. pieces were very moist, red as and the cotton, | grass, or whatever they came in contact with, was stained as with blood. They were scattered several feet aah over a space ome twenty or thirty feet in wide and on show, THE ALBANY WONDER OF 1867. the month of August, 1867, masses of gelati- te granules were found in this State. The following account of the phenomenon, published at the time, 18 from Dr. J. 3. Mosher, then of the Albany University, now of Quarantine, Staten Isiand:— “Viewed through a ad u email, brick- colored bodies were somewhat of the shape of grains of wheat, and the gelatinous matier seemed to be connected to each onc as aseparate covering. They were apparently separate ceils, very uniform in size, Deing 1-120 of an inch long and 1-150 of an meh thick, filled with granular particles, from which they rived their color. Tho geiatinous envelope and their ars ance gave them at Urat somewhat the character oi one | of the single celled prototypes, resembiing most the | moghea, That they were not these was proven by their behavior with fodiue and their containing » Several persons claim to have seon | them fall in ower, and they were not found under trees or shelter.

The jee of chivrids ‘of sodium, which is iound largely in the tinoU! envelope, is corroboration of their marine origin." | OTURK WISTORICAL RAINS. Astorm of red hail is stated by Humboldt to have occurred at Palermo, In Tuscany, March 14, 1813, there | fell hail of an orange culor. In Mareh, 1808, a fall of over five feet of red snow oc- earred in Carn) Germany. The ground had been previously covered with white, and the storm of colored Snow was succeeded by another, the fakes of when | were, as usual, of a pure and briltiant white, the two | kinds being perfoctiy distinct. A portion of the red suew melted ina vessel and the water evaporated Iwi # fine rose-colored, earthy sediment at the bottom. | , colored brick red, fell in Italy in 1816 and in the A Tol in 1847, bl snow fell at Walpole, N. H., so intense in its color that a correspondent of the Boston Joi re. marks concerning it:—“I send you some writing | written with the snow as it fell, and with a clean 0,” ‘The different colors of many of these snow deposits may depend upon the same coloring matter under dit- ferent conditions. Microscopic investigations in dit. ferent of the world have revealed the cause of these dust storms and biood rains to be either portions of various minerals or shells of iniusoria or parts of distinct cell plants and insects carried into the atmo- sphere the winds. Infusoriat shells and aquatic plants of especial jocalities have been having crossed the ocean and deen coposited in dust storms, thus tracing the acrial currents. Ebrenberg found 320 diferent species of organisms in tho dust of various showers; of these five wore of marine origin. Humboldt treats very fully of the subject in his “Ansicht der Natur’ and in his “Kosmos.” Maury’s “I’hysical Geography of tho Sea” bas also some interesting tacts on the same topic, THE CRIISON CLIFFS OF WRYERLRY. In the first volume of Kane’s ‘Arctic Exploration,” page 44, the following, which proves the untvorsal character of these Tatns, will be found -— “by diary continues ;—We passed the Crimson Clif of SHEET, Sir John Ross in the forenoon of August 9. Tne patches of red snew from which they derive their Dame could be seen clearly ata distance of ten miles from the coust. It bad a fine deep rose hue, not at ail like the brown staln which I noticed when I wes here before, All the gorges and ravines in which the snow hud lodged, were deeply tmted with it, | had now no diMeulty in justifying the somewhat pectigal ponen- cluture Which Sir John Franklin applied to this locality, for if the snowy 4urface were more diffused, as it 1s no doubt earlier in the season, crimson would be the pre- Vauiing color, The red snow was diversified with large Suriaces of beautiful green and alopecus.” THE FALL OF FLIES IN CANADA. ‘This age of ours, remarkable in so many things and proud of its superiority over preceding times, is not | to be outdone by the past in meteorological Avonders. Itbas been seen that history records to the credit of the past rains of human hair and blue silk; but its page is silent upon the descent of any living things. True, the fairy story books tell of the times when it rained cats and dogs, but the fairy story books are not relia- bie, aud it is very tmprobable that canines and felines ever descended upon earth in such happy communion asthe books relate. The first well authenticated ac- count of a rain instinct with life comes from Canada, where, according to Hén, Judge Tasheran, a shower of flies fell with the snow and covered several acres, ‘The shower was a copious one, and unnumbered millions of the insects were brought to earth. Tho Judge bas pre- served a bottle full of these wonderful files, which are bie. mosquitoes, and sent it to Dr, Lorne, of Lay University, who will examine and report. In tl Jast metercological phenomenon the advocates of the evolution theory have strong cor- roboration of their logic. Ithas rammed hair (perhaps owing to a difficulty between the cats and dogs men- tioned 1n the fairy boo! has rained what was sup- posed to be biood and 1 rained many other strange things, as has been seen from this article, bul never before have insects been showered upon'us. If the rain comes in the form of flies in 1876, why not monkeys in the year 2000 and men and women in the year 3000, If the evolutit heory had been. advanced fore the year 1663, when blue silk teil from heaven, can any one reasonably doubt that the Prussians of that ume would have looked forward to the day when dresses, ready made and trimmed, would descend? CANINE FIDELITY AND SAGACITY. MELANCHOLY NARRATIVE FROM NEWFOUNDLAND. About an hour before dawn ou the 2ith of January, afather and three sons set out on a wood chopping ex- pedition from the town of Placentia, Newfoundland, which lies west of St Johns, Such expeditions are made with Esquimau dogs, which are securely har- nessed to rude sleds, called “catamarans,” ou account of their resemblance to the rafts which the South Sea Islanders use and call by that name. When the men left their cabin it was less frosty than it had been for several days before, and in every way it seemed favor- able for the wood cutters, but before eight o’clock a terrific snow storm was raging throughout Placentia Bay, and at noon great banks of snow drift had blocked the roads in many directions. In such cireumstances there 1s extreme anxiety. in regard to those who fare absent cutting wood in the forests, as tho gloomy records tell of skeletons found be- heath) the snow im spring timc—of men who had left their cabins in fair weather several months before and were overtaken by great snows torms. When Monday evening came and the wi men did not return, the wife ‘and mother ofthe absent men grew very solicitous for their safety, They should have been at home, no maiter how bad the roads or heavy their louds, at six or seven o'clock on Monday evoning, had nothing happened. But the wild snow storm was atill sweeping over the bay and there was every reason to fear that the worst had befailea them, About dawn next morn- tng Mrs, Partridge and her daughter were aroused by the howling of dogs, who pawed the threshold and pounced upon the doorin a most vehement manner. Mrs. Partridge at firat rojoicet, believing that her hus- band and sous bad arrived. When the door was opened the dogs would not enter, but continued to whine and paw the ground impatiently, The old woman then ‘went to the wood yard to call her husband and boys, but the only answer given was the piteous whining an elping of the dogs. After a while many of the neigh- dors guthered around the cabin and most of them knew too well the harrowing story that the poor brutes could tell had they the taculty of specch. Tho dogs were implacable; neither food nor ca- resses could quiet them, One old fisherman said he would test the avimals by moving in the diroction of the woods, He had no sooner called them and started im that direction than they bounded past him and led the way, looking back every tew paces to make sure that he was following. Four young lisher- men then volunteered to follow the dogs, ana were led to the part of the woods where the men lay buried in the snow. Prodigious bayks of snow piled on the reguiar road made the way to the fatal spot circuitous and difficult, On the sido of one mountain of drifted snow four dogs were found yelping dismally and dij ging the snow with their paws. The volunteers wei to work, atter two hours’ search with snow shovel recovered the bodies of al! the men, but too late to re- suscitate them, This remarkabie instance of # Ly and fidelity m the trained draught dogs of Newtound- land is not without precedent. About four years ago a young man left Heart’s Content with one dog and catamaran tor the woods. [t was a windy day, aud the man was killed by the falling of a tree which be had been chopping. The dog being unbarnessed, as all draught dogs are on reaching the woods, came home alone at night, refused food one ae the usual dismal warnin, su as yelping and pawing the ground. This animal also led the way to the spot where his master’s corpse lay resting. THE LOCKPORT SENSATION CASE, (From the Rochester Union.) ‘The recent tris! of Frank M. Armstrong in Lockport for seduction, uncer promise of marrtage, of Miss Dora E. Wilcox, attracted more attention than any criminal proceeding that has taken place in that city for years, It resulted, it will be remembered, in the conviction of the prisoner, and his sentence was suspended to givo him sufficient time to Ox the matier up with Miss Wi- cox matrimonially if posstble, The rumor that the latter would probably be effected created considerable popular indignation, as very many are anxious to seo Armstrong go to Auburn. A reporter of the Lockport Journal hus interviewed the high contracting parties and learned that after the adjournment of cburt on ‘Thursday evening Armstrong and Dora met in one of the parlors of the Niagara House and there conversed on the subject of what would be for tho best in- terests al, Darius Armstrong, oe father of the convicted, was opposed to Lamigen of such conversation, unless im the nee two competent witnesses. Accordingly two persons were admitted in their presence. These witnesses sa; that, although’ they did not listen to all that was said, the Conversation Was of such a tone that no one would have suspected they were enemies but a few hours be- | lore, the one denouncing the other’s character as that of a lewd young woman, the otner striving to send her seducer tothe Staic Prison. It is reporied that they chatted like lovers. Aftcr conversing a short timo they expressed their sorrow for the existing state of aflairs, and endeavored to come to terms by which the convicted might escape the punishment which awaits him at the hands of the law, She agreed to m: him it he would give her as security, im case he should This, it is said, in forsake her, the sum of $2, eoever ‘agreed to do if his tather would sanction it. This was a very important consideration, as the young man could not vouch for its payment, not being pos- sessed of so much, and the old man Armstrong was as stubborn as a mule. One of two things seems certain, however—be must accede to the terms if the young lady stands firm, or his son will be obliged to take a trip to Auburn. About ten days’ time yet remain for him to make up his mind.
