The investigation of thunder storms is becoming more and more a specialty with scientific.men. France has made au important study of. them for a number of years Bavaria and Bel- gium have more recently taken them up, and in our own country, as well as elsewhere, considerable has been un- dertaken in this direction. In are- ~ cent report by Lancaster, on the famous storm of 1879 in Belgium, the conclusions previously announced there ara confirmed,. namely, that thunder storms occur only in the southeast quadrant of the barometric depressions, or great cyclonic storms that frequently sweep across tempor ate Intitudes.* But there still remains , to be found the actual mechanism of thunder gtorms, . concerning which so many opinions have been put forth. It is thought that the natter will probably remain in doabt until settled by thesame kind of investigation that Aemonstrated the inward spiral path | of cyclonic winds-synoptic charts for m stormy afternoon, with hourly or even half-hourly intervals, and stations wuly a mileor two apart, would prob-. ably settle the . question beyond dis- pute.

George A. Elkins and Mollie Stewart, a runaway - couple, hailing from Hemry. county, Kenttcky, shouted a loud, \ Hello ]\ several.times- to attract the attention of the magis- trate, who came out to the street with a lantern, and asked to know what was wanted, The young gentleman and young lady were both seated on the same horse, and were drenched with the rain, which had been falling for sever- , al hours. Elkins said that they wanted to be married at once, and that the ceremony would have to be hurried, as the father and the brothers of | the young lady were in pursuit of them. The Justice asked the couple to show their license, which was done, and then invited them to come into the house, where the ceremony could Te performed. 'This the couple refused, on the ground of not having sufficient | time, and aaked, instead, to be married then and there on horseback. The 'Squire consented after: some: \hesitation and called to Col. Wm.
