This young man was killed by lightning, particulars of which will be found in our local columns KILLED BY LIGHTNING -- During the thunderstorm of last Saturday, a young man by the name of Joseph A. ADAMS son of Amos ADAMS of ADAMS Settlement was instantly killed by lightning. The following are the particulars as we have received them: When the storm came up he, with his older brother, was at work in a tract of woods near their home, and as the rain commenced to fall in torrents they ran towards the house. The elder brother arrived there supposing that Joseph was immediately behind him, as they started together; but after waiting a few moments and seeing nothing of Joseph he started out to find him. After an unsuccessful search in the barn and other out-buildings, he went towards the woods and saw him lying on the ground. Upon going to him the brother was shocked to find Joseph lifeless, a bolt waving struck him on top of his head killing him instantly. This sudden death has cast a gloom over the entire community in which the young man lived. Wm. SMITH At Richford, May 31st.,William Smith, about 25 years of age. JOSEPH BROCKWAY.

June 24, 1871 THE SPIRIT OF RULLOFF DENIES THE AUTHORITY OF ANYONE TO PUBLISH HIS LIFE ! Center Lisle is agitated over the appearance of the spirit of RULLOFF at some of the spiritual "settings" at Morovia. It seems that four gentlemen, (believers in modern spiritualism,) belonging at the former place, visited the famous spiritual medium a Morovia for the purpose of conversing with some of their departed friends. During the "sitting" a strange voice was heard, and on inquiry being made as to who it was. they were informed in an audible voice, "Edward H. RULLOFF," and by being asked by one of the party if he "had ever made any confessions of his life." he replied, "No, and if any one says so they lie." After the departure of the spirit, they were told that they "must have charity for RULLOFF, for he must suffer much before he could come up higher." SUICIDE AT MARATHON. On Saturday morning last, the citizens of our sister village of Marathon were shocked by the intelligence that an old resident of that place had committed suicide. We learn upon inquiry, the following facts concerning the tragedy; The unfortunate man's name was Tracy SHERWOOD, who was not unknown to many of our citizens. For sometime past he had been addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors, and without doubt it was this this that led to the fatal result. His family had suspected for some time that he contemplated self destruction, and in consequence had kept a close watch upon his movements. They considered that the danger had passed and so relaxed somewhat their vigilance. On Saturday morning last he left the house he left his home under the plea of going fishing; he went to LYNDE BRO's store where he borrowed a knife, as he said to go into the meat market to cut some bait. In place, however, of going to the market he want to the rear of the Baptist meeting-house sheds, where he cut his throat, gashing it in a fearful manner, resulting almost immediate death. It was soon after discovered by a son of Mr. J. C. GRAY, who gave the alarm and the body was removed to the engine house of "Eagle Fire Company." An inquest was there held and a verdict rendered in accordance with the above facts. The funeral was held at Marathon on Sunday. GLEANING's FROM WHITNEY's POINT.
