Here is an excellent I opportunity forsome of our scientific men I to distinguish themselves by explaining the causes by this remarkable occur- rence. As the sun was sinking into the lake a curious optical delusion was witnessed at Buffalo the. other evening. The great lu- minary. magnified to twice its usual size, suddenly assumed a conical shape: and directly in the centre of this body of fire, I the form of a ship was plainly visible, as if sailing in and a part of the sun. Those who saw it say they never witnessed its . like before, and that it was a scene worthy I of the painter's brush. I I l Duck hunters observed a singular phe- nomenon on lndian Lake, in Miami Coun- ty, Ohio, last week. A whirlwind upon the water was observed approaching, ac- companied by a roaring sound, heard dis- tinctly more than two miles distant. A great body of water was carried at least two hundred feet in the air. It assumed a funnel form, and was first observed by the hunters about a. mile away, moving directly toward them, but happily it en- countered a large tree and collapsed. Small trees standing in the water were stripped clean of all their branches. l 0-. ,s- ...- w A 'Fa‘cal Dose. A FEMALE DOCTOlt'S PRESCRIPTION. A very singular case on Thursday came under the. observation of Coroner Young, at St. Vincent‘s Ilospital, New York. William Wolf, forty-six years af ago, and a nativc of France, had long been suffer- ing from cancer of the stomach, which in- duccd constipation of the bowels. Being in the COl'llltl')’ six weeks ago. he consult. ed a female doctor, who advised him to take halfa pound of shot and run around , two or three 110 rs. which would shake l them down and produce a. relaxation ofI the. bowels. \Volf swallowed thc leaden l dose, and kept up an active movement for at least six hours, at the expiration of which time he became sick and vomited up part of the indigestible prescription, without experiencing any relief. Nausea of the stomach continued, and Wolf, being brnglit to the City, was taken to the hos- pital, where he. lingered till Wednesday afternoon. § Klara-7n 'ro DEATILâ€"Tlle universal opin- ion in London is that Mr. \Valson, the eb-rgyman who is charged with the mur- dor of his wife, is insane.
