The wabjohted - detailed particulars of the west bat& of Sulferino will be read with thrilling interest : CAKTIGLIONIL, ITALY, Friday night, } June 24, 1859. I came from Brescia eerly this meriting, and arrived just in tizne to wields, the heat half of what! here very little doubt will turn out to have been the greatest battle the modern world has seen. I cannot describe it with any precision as yet, fer it has lasted all day, and extended over a circuit of not less than fifteen miles; the noise of the cannon- 1 tide, and even of the 'musketry, moreoter, is I still in my ears, and wine of th 4C engaged ! .n it, except the wounded, hate returned to I give as any distinct and connected report.— I Bat not less than 450,4100 men have been en gaged in it; and of these not less than 30,- 1 4.100 (dead or disabled) lie, on this bright! starry night, upon the bloody field. The battle commenced at a little before 5I o'clock in the moniing—not far from sunrise. Just back of Castiglione rises a high range of hills, which projects a mile or thereabouts in to the plain, rind then breaks off towards the I left into a wide expanse of smaller hills, and' l ao into the rolling surfeee whieh makes that portion of the plain. The Austrians had to-' Icon position upon these hills—planting can-{ 'ion upon those nearest to Castieliune which they could approach, as the French army! was in full force in and around that little I village—and had seatiencil their immense area ray all over the surrounding, plain. As near- Jas we can new learn the Emperor Francis I eeph had collect' I here not less than '_:s,- 000 troops, and commanded them in person. ! ills -evident purpose was to make a stand Isere and risk the fortunes of the war upon the hazards of the day. le . acelcon promptly accepted the challenge, and commenced the! attack as soon as it, was light this morning, ! by placing cannon upon the hills still nearer' , to Castiglione than those held by the Austri ens, and opening fire upon them on the heights beyond. Ile took his own stand upon the highest of these—a eteep, sharp-backed ridge, which i commands a magnificent view of the entire circuit of the plain, and from that point di- I rected the entire movements; of his army dur ing the early portion of the (ley. The French very soon drove the enemy out of the poets they held nearest to the town, and followed them into the small ‘lllllgl , of the plain below. , 'The first if these was Selferino, where they I had a sharp and protracted engagernent.—! The Austrians disputed every inch of the ' ground, and fought here, as they did through out the day, with the utmost desperation.— They were three tones driven out of the town, before they would stay out. The people of the village, moreover, took part against the I Freneh, upon whom they fired from their windows, and the French were munched, in I nett-defence, to burn the town. When they I found it impossible to hell their ground any longer, they fell back, slowly and steadily, until they reached the village of Volta, whieb, as you will see by the map, lies directly southeast front Castiglione, and is only about a mile from the river Mimeo, from which, however, it is separntee by n range of bills. Upon these hills, in the rear of the town, and overlooking it completely on the south and southeast sides. the Austrians had plant ed very formidable batteries ; and when I arrived upon the field and went et once to the height where the Emperor hail stood at the opening of the engagement, but which lie had left an hour before to follow his victorious troops, these batteries were blazing away up on the French who were stationed on the plain below. I was too far off to observe with any accuracy the successive steps of the action, but I could distinctly see the troops stationed upon the broad plain, and moving up in masses towards the front, where the artillery was posted, as their services were re9uired. But as soon as they reached this point they were speedily enveloped in the smoke of the cannon, and disappeared from observation. But the general result was soon made evident by the slackening of the Aus trian fire; and by the falling back of their. smoke and a corresponding advance on the pert of that whiclerose from the French ar tillery: The cannonading at that point lasted for over an hour; but in precisely what dirce tion the Austrians retreated, it was not possi ble, from the position I occupied, to see. I was afraid to change it, moreover, becau-e, although I might easily have gone more di rectly and closely upon the field, I could not have found any eminence upon the plain from which I could have had so sweeping and complete a view. Part of the Austrian force probably crossed the blincio ricer. which flows southward from the lower end of Lake Guards, and empties into the Po. But the battle "continued to rage all over the region northwest of a line connecting the towns of Castiglione, &Merino and Volta. At one point after another a sharp cannonading would arise and continue for a half or three quarters of an hour—and after each succes sive engagement of this kind, the result be came apparent in the retreat of the Austrians and the advance of the French forces. Dur ing all the early part of the day the sky had been clear, and the weather hut. But clouds began to gather at about noon, and at 5 o'cluck, while the cannonade was at its height, a tremendous thunderstorm rolled up from the northwest ; the wind came first, sweeping from the parched streets an ener-1 mous cloud of dust, and was soon followed by a heavy fall of rain, accompanied by vivid lightning and rapid explosions of rattling thunder. The storm lasted fur about an hour, and the cannonading, so far as we could dis tinguish, was suspended. Then the rain ceased, the clouds blew away, the sun shone out again, and the air was cooled and per fectly delightful. Though the cannon may bare ceased for a time to take part in it, the 1 fight had meantime gone en—and when I *pm resumed my post of observation, from which the storm had expelled me, the can nonading commenced on the extreme left of the entire field and on the very borders of the lake, northeast from Castiglione and west of Persohiera. • 1 The Piedmontese troops, under the King, who commands them in person, had been posted there, and received the Austrians as 1 they came around. From about 7 o'clock until after nightfall an incessant and most terrible combat was here.kept act The bat teries of the two armies were ;apparently about half a mile apart, and at Lthe outset they were both served with neerliequal and effective vigor. But the Austriaus gradually slackened their ire and several times took up new positions, while the Sardiniats poured a -rapid and anin,terrupted shower o balls upon them. suspending only fur a few, minutes at a time, and then renewing it ageEn with re doubled fury. The wind had Dust-gone down, the air was still, and the soundo - musketry, as well as of the cannon, was if ' sly belied. The former was continuous, sitar and inces sant, sounding like the constant a irre= pattering of hail upon a roof, whi the u t • was ommaianally suspended, bat while it hssted was overwhelmingly grand and ter rible. Orer the Sardinian Park woke a dense white cloud of smoke, directly pwards, its fite is efootly uptight and well ,: fined, and tig (onward both ways at the top like as etorisoas sheaf of wheat.

CAvriuttora, Friday, June 24. • • • • OW the night of the ..‘nd thr whole Austrian rainy moved op to the vicini ty of Castiglione, witiiin mile of the advanc ed camp of the French army. They eame up gn nnisicagly that the French supposed it tel be their intention to sweep around and encir cle the town. No such attempt, however, was made, and at 5 o'clock tlibi morning the battle coomenced, but by uhich army the first gun was tired no one thus far has been able to inform me. It wan an widerstond thing, no doubt, in both armies, that the moment had -arrived for the decisive trial of strength, and it mattered little who fired the first gun. Both armies were eager to begin the struggle, and only awaited the signal of attack. The Australia position was in a crescent, (as at Magenta,) about eight miles long, and was exceedingly strong in every point of view, since the French were obliged to attack from the plain, in full view. and in a concentrated form. During the first flours of the battle the French were time driven back by the super ior numbers and the impetuosity of the Aus trians. Bitt this retrograde movement was nut a repulse, awl the ground lost was im mediately regained. It was the first regiment of Zourives that suffered must at this moment. At one u'elock I saw two cart loads of wound ed men of this regiment as they came off the field, on their way to the hospital at Castigli one, and they told me that at that moment not a single commissioned ,Beer of their regi ment was on his feet. Their brave colonel, who had been promoted only three days I e fore, in place of their colonel killed at Magen ta, had received three wounds. and in fact I saw him carried from the field soon after wards on n Lttcr, covered with blood and dust, and apparently suffering deeply from his wounds. The two villages on the line of hills held by the Austrians offered the greatest resist ance to the advance of the French. One of These, Solferino, wits taken and re-taken three times by Canrobert's division, and it is said that at this point the dead Lodles actually con cealed the wound from view. Another village nearer to Castiglione, in which, strange to relate. both the men and the women of the town fired upon the French, was totally burnt down by Marshal Clairolr ert's orders, who was naturally indignant at such conduct. The Austrians Were gradually driven back over the plain, and from their strong position on the hill-side', till nt 4 o'clock they made their last obstinate stand at the town of Volta. six miles east of Castiglione. An hour's work dislodged them from this place, and then, at 5 o'clock, a violent rain-storm c,ming up, nt tended IN ith lightning and thunder, the re treat of the Austrians commenctd. The carrcsiondent adds that he feels War ranted in saying that the French must hare had 25.00_0 men hors de combat. He says he saw 10,000 'mantled men come from the field, on carts, wagons, mules and litters. Ho further adds: If I did not already know the result of the battle, I would be ready to suppose, from the enormous number of wounded soldiers at this moment passing my window, that the French army had been literally destroyed. lam quite sure, no matter what the French official re port may say, that my preceding ebtimate of the number of wounded is small. We saw about three thousand Austrian prisoners brought in. How many were taken during the day could not be ascertained. I saw one crowd of 600, another of 450, and many smaller 'quads. The Austrian wound ed were Tiled into the carts sometimes indis et iminatelv with the French. The must horrible wounds to look nt were those of the face. Two Zuuaves of the first re4iment hal the whole under jaw carried away, and yet these brave fellows walked be hind the carts of their comrades more danger ously wounded than themselves. Some had their eyes closed from blows with the butts of the muskets, others had their checks or mouths banging in lanibtauz from sword cats, others the cheeks swulen to enormous dimen sions from bails that had pierced their faces through and through. The women who had remained in the town of Castiglione shed tears apparently at the utter hopelessness of ren dering assirtanee to such a number of brave and suffering robs. Yet every house was thrown open, and every hand was ready to aid in alleviating their pain. Fur the must part they naked but for wine or water, for the loss of blood creates thirst, and the fatigues of the day must have been great from the length of the battle and the extent of ground to fight over. Many of the soldiers were naked to the waist—their coats having been torn to pieces in the bayonet and hand to hand fights, and their shirts torn up to staunch their blood. All were covered with dust and had their clothes mote or less torn, both °Eters and men, and presented, even in the absence of blued-stained clothes, the most pitiable appearance. But all %Alio were not suffering had stamped upon their countenances that quiet, determined louk which soldiers require in battle, and which is called in the French army the "profession al air." THE WOUNDED-TERRIBLE SCENES The writer of the foregoing account of the battle next describes the wounded as they were brought to Castiglione. He estimates the number brought to that city alone at 10,000, and says: It was certainly the most dreadful sight I ever saw. Every conceivable kind of wound which can be inflicted upon men was here exhibited. All who were able to do so, were obliged to walk—the wagons and ani mals at command beiro: all required for those who could nut othlrwise Le moved. Some walked along, their faces completely covered with blood from sabre cuts upuu their heads. Many had their arms shattered—hundreds had their heads tied up—and some carried most ghastly wounds upon their faces. Some had tied up their wounds, and others had stripped away the clothing which chafed and made them worse. I saw one man walking along with a firm step and resolute air—naked to his wait, and having a bullet wound upon his side, an ugly gash along his cheek, and a deep bayonet thrust, received from behind in the shoulder. 3lost of those who were walk ing wore a serious look—conversing but little with one another, though they walked two and two—and a few of them carried upon their faces any considerable expression of Those who were more severely injured rode upon donkeys or in carts, and a few were carried upon mattresses on men's shoulders. But these were mostly officers, and nearly all I saw carried in that way wore so badly wounded that their recovery is scarcely possi ble. One had both his legs crushed by a cannon ball. Another had received a boll in his thigh, and was evidently suffering the most intense agony. Many of those whose wounds were in their legs were seated in chairs swung across a donkey—one being on etch side. Several who were thus carried, and were supported by soldiers walking by their side, were apparently unconscious, and seemed to be dying. Then would comeoarts, large sad small, carrying three, five, and some of them ten or fifteen each. A steady stream of these ghastly victims of the battle of the day poured through the town. I stood in the crowd by the side of them as the sad proces sion posed along, and watched it at this point for over an bear. It was not interrupt ed for a moment,--azeept now and then by • erowd of prisoners—and it eontitined thus from about tan in the morning, whoa it begun to flow, until I left the street, long after dark. Every church, every large ball, every pri vate house the town hat Um ., taken for the service of the wounded. Those whose injur iesare alight, alter haring been dressed. pass at once into the ranks and sines with their comrades. I looked inhuthe church as I milted by. All the hods. railing , , &c , hod been re moved : -ITII4IIOI4IIPS of hay had been spread upon the floor, and were eunipletnly Ailed with wounded men, in every stage tf suffering and of peril, lying side by side. The surgeons were dressing their wounds; sisters of chari ty and other women were giving them wine and otherwise ministering to their comfort; but morning, I am sure, will dawn upon a large proportion of them relieved forever from their pain. If anything, can be more horrible than a soldier's life, it certainly is a soldier's death. Six or eight times while I stood upon the street watching the wounded there came along squads of prisoner.; taken at various stages of the action. Sometimes there would IXJ only three or four—then twenty, fifty or a hun dred, and in one company over -100. They walked closely together, six or eight deep— the officers being generally in the miiidlet-- nn.i were guarded by a single file of troops walking on each mirk. As a general thing they were not bad looking men. Very many of them were very young, not over 16 certain ly. Tho correspondent of the London Herald says : '• So little did the French expect a battle, that on the previous night a meeeage from the king of Sardinia, nekiii,g for support in ;eve he should be attacked, was met with a refusal on the ground that an attack by the Austrians was not preliable. At day break, however, the crops of Gereral illiers came in sight of Solferino, and was immediately set upon by a large Austrian force, whieli rushed down the hill end fought with the greatest fury. The marshal re-isted to the best of his power and sent otTnn tude-de-eamp for supperts, but it s as not before three hours of friehtful c image that the cirps ut tlenerel Niel made its appearance. The Austrians were then slowly driven back, arid every now and then there was a pause and the French continued to gain ground, heaps of their own and the enemy's corpses marking the flue tuetion s of the fight. "The Austrians were thus slowly driven rut of Solferino ; but nll of n sudden they made a tremendous bust forward and the French were driven down the hill. Admire lily supported by their artillery, however, they made a stand and commenced on a move to advance. It was like a hailstorm—the shower of bullets and balls—and whole files were mowed down by a single discharge. "Meanwhile at the right and left wing the Austrians were getting decidedly the best of it. The Pleilmonteso were slowly driven hark. General Catirubert's corps was also heavily punished, and had there been a skill ful general in the Austrian fumy to collect and concentrate their forces against the weak point of the enemy's line, matters would have had a very" different aspect. - " The French commander, to whom the credit of the day is entirely due, whether it be Gen. Niel, Mentlion, or the Emperor himself, sent forward the Imperial Guard and a strong division of infantry against the Aus trian cal re, nntl succeeded fora time iu break ing it. Instead of bringing up their forces to repel this formidable attack, the supports were sent to the left and right wings, which did not need them. " I►esperate attempts were made to recap ture Solfcrino, but the French strongly bold it. and the Austrian bugles began to sound a general retreat. An attempt was made by the French cavalry to pursue them, whilh led to an encounter between the French Chas seers and the Austrian Ituluns, in which the former were rapidly put to right afou l" It is stated that not a single liungarian regiment was allowed to take part in the bat tle, and that the Italian regiment. had all been previously sent to the Tyrol. Twenty thousand corpAes are said to have been buried, and many were yet lying in the ditches and cornfields. " The .loss of the French is 720 ormers placed Mora de combat, ono hundred and twenty of whom were killed, and twelve then sand privates killed end wounded. Among the killed are seven colonels and six lieutenant colonels. Among these wounded are five generals." 'Vienna, July I.—The Austrian correspon dent says that the lees at the battle of the 24th, as fur as has yet been ascertained, is 1%900 killed and 8,100 wounded. A Shocking Homicide. Last evening. between 7 and 8 o'clock, a des perate deed of blood was enacted in South Baltimore. A young man named Wm. W. Taylor, while passing along Henrietta street, near Light, and when cipposite the public house of John Kenny, was accosted by a par ty of men, who asked him to treat. Taylor refused, when one of the party knocked him dawn, and another jumping from one of the buggies in which the parties bad ridden to the house, caught Taylor by the hair of his head, and putting a pistol close to the back of the skull, fired. The ball passed clear into the brain, and Taylor, with a single gaiip, fell over on the curb. The perpetrators their jumped into the buggies and attempted to escape by fast driving. One of the vaieles was upset, and Thomas Eaton, an occupant, was - captured by the police, who were attracied to the spot by the report of the pistol. The rest abandoned the vehicles and ran away on foot. Taylor was lifted from the pavement and carried by several citizens to his boardin,..; house, No 3G Henrietta street, near Charles, and about a square distant from the scene of the %hoot ing. 1)r. George W. Benson was summoned, but he lived only a short time. Immediately upon the shooting, Captain Woods, Sergeant Crouch arid other ~fficcrs of the district, start ed in different (bred:ions to arrest the perpe trators of the crime, Lot up to midnight no more had been arreqted. Taylor, it is said, was a meinher of the Bethel Church, Lee street, and was on his way to the wharf to witness the return of the Sabbath school on board the steamer Lancaster, from an excur sion to Lower Canton, when the murderous assault was made upon him.

It is impossible, says the Harrisburg Patri ot, for the present Administration to do any thing pleasing to the Opposition grumblers. Having made up their minds to be in a bad humor, they remain in a perpetual and pain ful state of irritation. Their indignation at the fearful extravagance of the Administra tion is not exhausted, before they discern that this same Administri.tion is entirely too economical. The last Congress having ad journed without making the usual postal ap propriations, through the factions exertions of Mr. Grow and his Republican confederates in the House of Representatives, the Post master General has been compelled to curtail the expenses of the Department, and in doing so many of the country mail routes have boon disoontinued, and others cut down to half tier vice. No sooner is this announced than it is the signal for a combined assault upon the Administration for its niggardly economy.— Iv ow retrenchment would be a very easy mat ter if it cost nothing, bat in a Government, as well as in a private household, some com fort or luxury must be sacrificed if the means are not forthcoming to support it. It may be very inconvenient to do so, bat the work must be accomplished or a debt incurred. It is one thing to talk of retrenchment, and another thing to feel its effects. If the Post Office De partment Lad ample funds it would be an easy matter to keep up all the existing routes, but as it has not, some must be cut off. The Postmaster General has determined upon re ducing the expenses of the Department, and has adopted the only course by which it can be ateomplished. The Opposition have de manded economy, and now that they have is —and most Mildly applied—they are the first to exclaim against it, so inveterate is the spirit of opposition.

The respect paid to any passport granted by this Department to a naturalized citizen, formerly a subject of Spain, will depend up on the laws of that nation in relation to the allegiance duo its authority by its native-born subjects. If that Government recognizes the right of its subjects to denationalize them selves, and assimilate with the citizens of other countries, the usual passport will be a sufficient safeguard to you ; but if allegiance to the Crown of Spain may not legally bere nounced by its subjects, you must expect to be liable to the obligations of a Spanish sub ject if you voluntarily place yourself within the jurisdiction of that Government. DEPARTMENT Or STATE, Waslzipgton, June 1, 1852. Ste : I have tolraknowledge the receipt of your letter to Mr. Redden of the 27th ultimo, inquiring whether Mr. Victor B. Repierre, a native of France, but a naturalized citizen of the United States, can expect the protection of this Government in that country when pro ceeding thither with a passport from this De partment. In reply, I have to inform you that if, AA is understood to be the fact, the Government of Franco does not acknowledge the right of natives of that count!) , to renounce their allegiance, it may lawfully claim their services when found within French jurisdic tion.

The letter from Mr. Evxasrr was address ed to oar Minister at Berlin, under date of 14th January, 1t53, in reference to several cases which had been presented by the Min ister. "Tbe question raised," Mr. Evzazrr writes, "has received the particular attention of the President." The following entracte sufficiently state his doctrine: If, then, a Prussian subject, born and liv ing under this state ofelaw, chooses to emi grate to a foreign country without obtaining the certificate which alontscan discharge him from the obligation of military services, ho takes that step at his own risk. He elects to go abroad under the burden of a duty which be owes to his Government. His departure is of the nature of an escape from her laws ; and if, at any subsequent period, ho is indis creet enough to return to his nature country, ho cannot complain if those laws are executed to his disadvantage. His case resembles that of a soldier or sailor enlisted by conscription or other compulsory process in the army or navy. If he should desert the service of his country, and thereby render himself tunena- We to military law, no one would expect that he could return to his native land and bid de fiance to its laws, because, in the meantime, he might have become a naturalized citizen of a foreign State. For these reasons, and without entering In tl) the disousaion of the question of perpetual allegiance, the President is of opinion that, if a muljeet of Prussia, lying under a legal obligation in that country to perform a cer tain amount of military duty, leaves his na tive land, and, without performing that duty ur obtaining the prescribed "certificate of emigration," comes to the United States and is naturalized, and afterwards, for any pur poses whatever, goes back to Prussia, it is nut competent for the United States to pro tect him from the operation of the Prussian law. Tho case may be one of great hardship, especially if die omission to procure the cer tificate arose from inadvertence or ignorance; but this fact, though a just ground of sympa thy, does not alter the MO as one of interns thine! law. The position of Gen. Cass, in his letter to Mr. Ilorza, is, certainly, more liberal towards naturalized citizens than either of the above. He says : " The position of the United States, as communicated to the minister at Berlin for the information of the Prussian government, that native-born Prussians, naturalized in the United States, and returning to the coun try of their birth, are not liable to any duties or penalties except such as were existing at the period of their emigration. If at that time they were in the army, or actually call ed into it, such emigration and naturalization do not exempt them from the legal penalty which they incurred by their desertion ; but this penalty may be enforced against them whenever they shall voluntarily place them selves within the local jurisdiction of their native country, and shall be proceeded against according to law. But when no prrxeni liabilities exist against them, at the period ul their emigration, the law of nations, in the opinion of this government, gives no right to any country to interfere with na turalised American catizens, and the attempt to do so would be considered an act unjust in itself and unfriendly towards the United States." seZ-We shall publish next week an extract of a dispatch from the Department of State to the Minister of the United States at the Court of Berlin, in regard to a citizen of the United States, who is a native of the kingdom of Hanover, and who, when he left his native country, was neither in actual service in the Hanoverian army, nor had been drafted to serve in it, recently returned there on a visit, when he was immediately deprived of his liberty and compelled to do military duty.— Gen. Cass says that the naturalized foreigner is entitled to " all the rights, privileges, and immunities which belong to a native born citizen, in their full extent, with the single qualification that, under the constitution, ' no person except a native-born citizen is eligible to the office of President.'" Know Nothings cannot much longer misrepresent Gen. Case' position. Family Jars. The Knew Nothings and Black Republi cans are not quite harmonious among them selves, even in New England. Some of their leading journals in Oonneetiout are very much dissatisfied• about something, and are giving expression to their displeasure in language more forcible than flattering. The Hruutted Herald says: " Without profession to speak for any one but ourself in the premises, we confess wo arc ready and willing' to see a Democratic legisla ture in Connecticut, if all the Republican legislatures must be like those of the past three or four years.

July 18, 1859. Elhestriectivo F 1 res. At about 5 o'clock, P. M., yesterday week, the dwelling of Mr. Hasty Komi, in Irish town, Oxford township, this county, was dis covered to be on fire, and before the flames could be checked the entire building was in ruins, involving also in the destruction all its contents,—beds, bedding, and household furniture of various kinds. The family were left without even a change of clothing. The loss is estimated at six hundred dollars-- partially insured. The origin of the fire is not known. During the thunder storm of Wednesday evening, a largo bank barn on one of the farms of WILLIAM JENKINS, Esq., near Lilly's dam, on Conowago creek, was struck by lightning, and entirely consumed, with all it contained. The harvesters had, that day, or the day before, finished storing it, to the roof, with grain and hay. A wagon, in the tarn floor, was also burnt. The loss is heavy, but we have not heard the amount estimated, nor whether there was any in surance upon it. On the same evening, the lightning struck a large tree standing near the dwelling of Mr. Wu. Catssws►.r., in Rending township, and, in a very singular manner, spread ore the tap, barking many of the limbs—then de scending the trunk to the ground. A gable end of a spring house standing near by was thrown in, and the plastering knocked off in spots from the inside walls, the lightning seemingly having departed from its common practice of travelling in " straight streaks." On Friday afternoon last, the barn of Mr. JOSEPH REBERT, in Franklin township, was destroyed by lightning, with 748 dosen of wheat, ten or fifteen tons of hay, and a car riage and harness. A calf also perished in the flames. The loss is about one thousand dollars—no insurance. The lightning was unusually terrific in that locality, and the rein fell in torrents. Tho resilience of Mr. Roarer Stxxxoxt, near Fairfield, was also visited by lightning on Friday afternoon. but no damage done. A tree within a few feet of Mr. Roars? Mc- Lsucuum's residence, in the immediate vicin ity of the same town, was also struck, con- siderably shocking the inmates of the house, and breaking eleven window panes. On the same afternoon, the dwelling of Mr. SEBASTIAN WEAVER, in Mountpleasant town ship, was struck by lightning, bat we believe no damage resulted beyond the knocking down of a partition and the shivering of a looking glass. The residence of Mr. Crerv, near Irishtown, was also struck, with no injury of consequence to the building, but one of his children rendered apparen,tly lifeless by the shock. Our informant could not tell whether or not it subsequently recovered. Concert null Pk Nk. A grand C.:ncert will be given in this place on Friday evening. July 20th, by the Singing Associations of Fairfield, Hanover and Get tysburg, under the direction of Prof. Hazer, and on the day following a Pie Nic will be had in Walter's Grove, a mile and a half north of town—to both of which probably_ a thousand invitations will be distributed.— Three Bands from Gettysburg and one from Hanover will be present at tho Pic Nic, and an appropriate address will be delivered by Rev. Dr. &Hat:cant. The Concert will be free, but it is expected that very many will contribute to the fund of provisions. It will of course prove tits Concert and Pic Nic of the year. Pic Nit EXCIIIIIIIIIIIII• A grand Pic Nic Excursion party will leave Littlestown on the cars, fur Conowago, on Saturday next, (the 23d inst.) The train will leave at 7 A. M., and return at 6 o'clock, P. M. A large number of invitations have been sent out, and it promises to be the grandest time known in the history of Pic Nice there. An efficient Committee have the matter in hand and they are sparing no pains to make it an entire success. Death frame Lock Jaw. An interesting little son of Mr. SAMUEL HERBST, of this place, died from Lock Jaw, on Monday evening last. On the Saturday previous, after active exercise, in which he bad become overheated, he bathed his feet in cold water, suddehly checking perspiration. That evening be rested rather uneasily, on Sunday morning his jaws became fixed, and on Monday evening he died, as already stated.
