COMMUNICATION. For th Amehican. II. B Matter, Esq. .-The destruction of life and properly by lightning has been to frer-aen. of late years, in our Slate, ns to do tnand tha attention of the community in seeking for a means of protection against thin fowcrful agent. Electricity is an excre.lingly subtile, elan. Mc, and penetrating fluid, pervalinir every sulsiance In, and upon our globe. Nor is it confined to the caith only ; but the atmos phere which surrounds the earth, is also charged with it. Clouds, as well as rain, tnow and hail, which fall from them, are al. ways electrified, but ofteuer negatively than 'positively; and the lightning accompanied 'by the thunder, is the effect of the clectiici 'ty, which, durting from clouds or a number of clouds highly eh ctrified, strikes into an other cloud, or else upon lei rest rin 1 objects ; in which enso it prefers the loftiest, most j .pointed, and best conducting objects ; and by i this stroke it produces all those dreadful el- ' feets, which are known to be pioduci-d by I lishtniug. ! But, by the light which science has shed i upon the subject of electricity, since the ilis- j coveries by Fiukluk, this invisible, and all pervading fluid, has not only been rendered harmless, but conducive to man's health, welfare and happiness. Physicians have up j plied electricity, fur the cure of a number of disoiders, and in many cases with signal suc cess. And who has not witnessed with as tonishment, its almost miraculous agency in 1 transmitting our thoughts, by means of the telegraph wires to our friends, thousands of . miles off, in a few seconds of lime ! Nay, j even the terrible Thunder and Lightning , which may well be deuoninated "The Ar- tillcry of Heaven," and well calculated lo make a guilty world tremble before 'Ilim, who thus uttercth His voice in the Heavens," may, at the same time that it teaches us our own insignificance, be rendered harmless, by making use of the means, which He has been pleased to discover to us, and placed williiu our reach. The lightning rod, or conductor, properly constructed and erected to buildings, has been universally acknowledged as a sure, and certain defence from the effects of liyhi ning. No instance is on record of a bnililing being destroyed by lightning, which was fur nished with properly constructed and pro perly elected conductor. But us there are quacks iu the practice of medicine who as frequently kill, as cure their patients : So there are those, who, though totally igno rant of that highly interesting branch o Natural Philosophy, Elce.lrkity, and of its causes and effects, will yet often palm oil' on the uninformed, an indifferent and imperfect article as a i-cinductor of eleclricily, by which the buildings to which they may be attach ed, nre not only not secured against light ning, but absolutely more endangered than they would be without them. Let then all see to it, that tin')- have pro perly constructed roJs put to their buildings if limy would secure them from destruction by lightnin:. j Before dismissing this subject, permit me ' to answer a few objections, which are some- j times made by those who are asked why ; they have no conductois lo their buildings. j One says "I huvu my buildings and stock in- i sured against fire." Well, I am glad yon I have ; for every sensible man ought lo have j his proper!) insured. Bui suppose the liyht- i niiig struck your house, and killed one of : your family; what consolation would your i insurance give you 1 Or, if it struck your j barn, and killed one or more of your horses, j or callle, (worth a dozen lightning rods) with- ' out burning your barn, would ihe Insurance Company pay you for your losst They would not. Another says, "I put my Irusl in Provi deuce, for Ihe protection of my properly." 1 am glad you recognize Ilim a the Sover eign Ruler of the Universe. But let me ask you, has He not also appointed means for the preservation of our lives, our health, uud our properly, and commanded us lo use ihem for the samel Has He not said, "Do this ami live" J And do you no! acl upon this princi ple when yon, or any of your family are sick, do you not rail in a physician, and use the remedies prescribed for the restoration of health ? Use Ihen the means, trusting in Providence, and you will have done your duty. PHlLOTECHNUS. Tiic Erie Observer of Saturday says : Boats arrive and depart daiiy from this port. Dunkirk and Buffalo are slill under ibe ice, and will remain so, il is thought by the "oldest inhabitant," until some lime du ring ihe summer. When the first boat ar rives at either point we w ill lei lliu world know it thut is, if such an event lakes place in this generation. We have heard it aid, by those who profess lo know, that in the magnificent harbor of Dunkiik. w hich at its narrowest point is full six miles w ide, the ice is froze clear lo Ihe bottom, and Ihe ice king has got a fast grasp u,.-u the rocks.

A letter fiorn St. Juhnsbury, Ver mont, dated Apiil 1st, say : it commenced iiowing last night, and this morning there was some 8 or 10 inches of damp snow making, on Ihe old bottom, fine sleighing. This is Ihe 33d, (thirty-third) snow storm we have had this winter ; and to day is the Hist (one hundred and forty-first) day of cood' sleighing in St. Juhnsbury and vicin ity this season.

Asrreenble to previous notice a very large and harmonious meeting of the citizens of Lewis township, Northumberland county, as sembled i i Turbutville, on Saturday the 10th list., for lh purpose of entering their protest In regard lo an act of the Legislature author ising ihe Commissioners lo take stock in the conlemplated Susqnehanna Rail Road. On motion the following persons were cal led to preside: PHILIP RAUP, Chairman John Tassart. Daniel Derr, James Lewars, Frederick Fox, Thos. Barr, Michael Brobst. Stephen Glaxp, Samuel Artmnn, John Raup, Michael Reader, James Tweed, Robert Gas ten, Vice Presidents. Stephen Glaze, jr., A. J. Derr, Seeretaiies. The meeting being duly organized on mo tion ihe Chnir appointed ihe following per sons as a committee to draft resolutions, ex pressive of ihe sense of the meeting, David B. Montsnmery, John Tweed, Jacob Man ses, Levi Glaze. John Montgomery, William Savnse, and D. W. Fordsman. The committee retired ami after n short time reported through their Chairman the following resolutions which were unanimous ly adopted. Resolved, That we the tnx payers of the township of Lewis, solemnly protest against Ihe County Commissioners assuming the pri viledce of subsrribinc or taking slock accord in; to a recent net of the legislature of Penn sylvania, In eontnet a rail road to be called the Sunbury and Erie Rail Road. Resolved, That the said Commissioners were elected to perform certain specific dti lies prescribed bv Ihe then existing law of the I.i in I and without any authority to die-tat- lo the people how lhey should act in re gard lo the management of Iheir own private affairs, or lo tell ihem how much they should give lo such and such projects, however re mote lhey might bo from Ihe locations or lo bind lliem or their properly for Iho payment of any money without iheir consent. Resolved, That in. Ihe language of Gov. Bigler ihe people of one section of a County may derive advantages from the conslinctiuii of a public impiovemeul, while those of an other section equally taxed for the payment of the piincipal and interest of Ihe debt so eonliacled may possibly realize no benefits at all. We regard the principle of taking stock by the County Commissioners as noth ing more m less thnu putting yor.r hand into your neighbor's pocket, hiking from him his hard earnings anil giving it to those who have no right to it. As a principle only to be tolerated by I hose w ho are fit to become slaves. Resolved, That a free people never em ploys agents to do that which is convenient for themselves to do, and if any portion of our citizens have funds they wish to dispose of in ihe way of taking slock, they are quite competent lo attend to it, leaving Ihe Cum missioneis free to attend lo w hat more pro perly belongs to them. Resolved, That the contemplated road would he seelional in ils benefitsand that we are w illing all who hold property along said line should procure all Ihe individual sub scription that may be w ithin their power. Thai we will resist until the last without dis tinction of parly any person or persons who may attempt to place injustice upon us. Resolved, That experience is Iho true test lo nil things and if we have not had such ex" peiience (.or sister State ol Ohio have had the result of which is recorded in a constitutional prohibition of all such municipal subscrip tions even if authoi ized by a direct vote of the people. On motion it was ordered that the proceed ings be published in the County papers, af ter which the meeting Adjourned. (Signed by the Officers.) Corre-pond-uce of the Phils. I.t(rtr.
