HUNTINGTON.
Tuesday morning, about nine o’clock, during a
heavy thunder shower, three boys and a little girl,
school children, took refuge in the porch of the Wal-
nut Tree Hill District School House, about a mile and
a half from Huntington Center, and the boys were in'-
stantiy killed and the little girl badly stunned by a
strike of lightning.
The children were on their way to school at the
time, but the door was locked and no one was in the
building. A lady who lives near happeningto see the
boys fall, ran with a pull of water, but of course could
not save the children. The following are the names
of the killed :-
Frank J. liawley, aged 13 years only son of widow
William Ilawlcy.
David M. Sherman, aged lO’years, son of widow
Glover Sherman.
Charles B. Hubhell, aged 6 years, son of Marcus 0.
Hubbell. '
The little girl, also daughter of Mr. Hubbeli was
knocked senseless and is lying in a critical condition.
The bodies of the boys were badly disfigured. The
building was not rodded and is considerably damaged
The catastrophe cast a deep gloom over the entire
community, and the funeral ceremonies drew together

m
General Butler on Senator Fowler.
To the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune.
Sm : My attention is called to an extract
of a letter of Senator Fowler in your paper
of Wednesday, 17th inst., which is as follows.
He says: > -
“ I can have no interest in a scheme to
usurp my Government by a few bad, bold
conspirators. The whole House of Repre-
sentatives is under the lead of those good old
Democrats, B. F. Butler and John A. Logan.
They are the same men the were in 1860
and before. In our house, ode and Sum-
ner, and their satellites, lead the revolution-
ary movement here."
I have not seen the whole letter.
In the year of 1866, after I lfad made some
speeches in the, West in favor of the im-
peachmcnt of Andrew Johnson, Senator
Fowler came 500 miles to my home in Low-
ell to visit me, being the first time I had ever
seen him, and the only errand he made was
to urge me vehemently not to cease my cf-
forts untii Andrew Johnson was impeached,
giving as a reason muong others that as I had
never lived in Tennessee I could form no
conception of what a bad man Andrew
Johnson was in fact, and that the vivid de-
scriptions ofliis habits and conduct while
Governor of Tennessee, given me by a young
Tenessscean who was present, failed to cor;-
vey any adequate idea.
Times change and some of as change with
them. Yours, truly, BENJ. F. BUTLER.

WWilbur Fisk says the morals, refine-

be known by the food they eat._ This is true.
Who ever knew a benevolent, noble, high-
toned, generous intellectual man reared on
sour or alkaline bread. Herrick Allen’s
Gold Medal Saleratus imparts no alkaline
flavor, produces the most delicious food, and
prevents, by its action on the stomach, most
diseases incident to that organ.

Ohio Legislature,whcre a resolution to debar
drunkards from holding public office was ta-
bled by D-amocratic votes. But broader proof
than this exists, showingthe tendency of the
Democracy to fiindelity. The outspoken
contempt of the organs of that party for
prominent religionists, for organizations of
Christians, is the best proof that could be
asked to show the infidel convictions .of the
Democratic leaders. On this point the Dem-
ocracy, through their widest spread journal’
the La Crosse Democrat. send greeting to the
Methodists of the country. The occasion is
the assembling of the Quadrenniai Con-
ference, at Chicago, and the. infamous docu-
ment reads: “ There is now in Session in the
city of Chicago a nondescript, black-and-tan
rump Radrcai,politico-religious. mob, known
as the Quadrennial Conference of the Meth-
odist Church. It is convened nominally in
the interest of the Methocist denomination,
but really in the interests 'of the mongrel
party, and with an eye to the interests of
Grant, who is a candidate of the Methodist.
It will remain in session until after the‘
Chiago Convention, and will add its nasal
‘whine to the chorus of damnable discord that
will hail the nomination of the azure-backed
butcher. It is engineered by the infamous
Simpson, who, in collusion with Gen. 0.
Howard, the other reverend ruflian of the
Freedmen’s Bureau, took possession’of 120 0
churches belonging to the Methodist Churc h
South, and turned them over to the nigger s
