Lightning.
According to Mr. Merriam, no•CaSe of loss of
life by lightning has ever occurred in a railroad
car, steamboat, ocean steame . iron ship, iron
house, or warehouse filled .Viri h bar iron, or hi 1
a vessel furnished with lightni g conductors, or
in a house having lightning od conductors,
with the exception of the case at Little Prairie,.
Wisconsin.
'These facts aro sufficient to dispel the very
general belief that metals aro dangerous, from
a supposed attraction for lightning. Steam.
boats have been in use more than fifty years,
railroad.cars more than thirty, and iron ships
and iron buildings more than twenty years.
Millions on millions of persons have during
that time been in steamboats, railroad cars,
iron ships, iron buildings, and in vessels and
buildings furnished with metalic conductors,
during thunder storms, and their exemptiOn
during so long a period is the most convincing
testimony in favor of protection that can be
desired. Persons who suffer from fear during
thunder storms may, therefore, rest in safety
and confidence if they can reach a railroad car,
isteamboat, iron ship or iron house, or in a build
ing or vessel furnished with metalic conductors.
Tho ships of the line and frigates of the
United States navy are furnished with conduc
tors made of five-sixteenths of an inch iron I
Wire, and sloops of war of one-fourth in ilium-
ter of iron wire.
* gg'SINGULAIL FREAK or• LTEETNINO.—ThO
house and printing office of James- Stillman,
Esq., editor of the Westchester County Journal, at
Morrisania, New York, was struck and consid
erably damaged by lightning, about five o'clock
on Friday morning last. A gentleman, who
stood near the premises nt the time of the oc
currence, states• that it seemed as though a
large ball of fire fell; struck the ground, re
bounded, expanded, and enveloped the entire
house in one mass or sheet of fire. It was soon
. discovered that one corner of the house had
been struck, the post and a portion of the roof!
shivered to pieces, and portions driven into the !
mom where Mr. and Mrs. Stillman were asleep.
On making an examination it was found that
three holes had been melted in one of the tin
leaders, and that a number of nails in the clap
boards had shared the same fate : the top of
the cistern in the yard hail been torn off, and
the contents of a rear building had been scat-
tered about in all directions. Mr. Stillman's!
daughter, who was dressing herself at the time,
was stunned, while her husband, who haul just
gone down stairs, was stricken senseless to the
floor, but without receiving any apparent inja•
ay. From the 'house the electric fluid appears
to have dodged about considerably or else divi
ded into three portions and each taken an en
tirely distinct course, one passing, over to the
printing office, a distance of fifty feet, and
throwing the type about in great confusion.!
another portion split a large che't to pieces and '
melted holes in a coffie pot which it contained,
while the third portion crossed the street and
knocked down a horse that was standing there.
With the exception of the damage done to
Mr. Stilhnan's house, which is is said to be'
completely shattered, no injury seems to have
been sustained.
rrITORRID ROBBERY AND Mmtrimt.—Mr.
John Kissel, residing near Fairview, in Cum
berland county. Pa., was found murdered. on
MOnday week, with a gnu shot wound on his
forehead. The Harrisburg Herald says :
Mr. Kissel was a bachelor, and lived entirely
alone, Performing all the household duties him
self, and generally disliked the presence of
visitors. It was known that he had a large
sum of money which he always carried with
him, and the fact that his vest pocket was cut
open, and the other pockets displaced. proves
fully that the knowledge caused his assassina
tion. It is supposed that he was waylaid and
shot while carrying the milk he had just pro-
cured from the cows to the spring house. It
is said that a neighbor heard the report of the
gun on Sunday evening in the direction of
Kissel's house, which caused the supposition
that it was then the atrocious deed was com
mitted. Considerable excitement prevails in
the neighborhood, but no suspicions have been
formed as to the perpetrators of the outrage. t i
A party of gypsies Were seen a short time since
in the neighborhood, but they had left before
Sunday.
( -- Sixty-two members of the American
party of Columbus, Georgia, have published a
card in the Sentinel. recommending the support
of Buchanan and Breckenridge as the only
constitutional. candidates before the people.
