Insurance against Lightning.
TO OWXF.RS OF PROPERTV.
I would ask a careful reading and considera
lion of the following facta by every owner of
lraperty. The lime has arrived when every
nitn should think for himself, and not submit to
be deceived by imitator aud impostors. If
it w necessary to have a Lightning-Rod at
tached to a building, in order to protect it
from the destructive influences of lightning, it is
important to have one constructed on scieutifie
piiuciples, and adapted to the purpose which it
is intended to serve. A poor rod cautos mis
chief, by failing to piotrct the building which it
is designed to shelter ; and creates uncertainty
aud duubi in the roii.ds of the public in regard
to the utility and safety of those which are really
valuable and safe. A a good rod costs no more
than a poor one, it certainly becomes porchwers
to cisaatae what they are goi ug to buy, aud not
expend, money ea a weetKle article, and Uius
eipose their prejierty to detraction for waut of
proper protection. I hive put tip near ait thou
sand rods, and have shipped a great number to
various parts of the world, eapecislly to the
Southern States, and hsve neve r heard of liit
fose of a single life, or the destruction of a dol- .
lure worth of property, by lightning, in any , njng jout receiving the slightest injury,
en. The stay-nail should always be in metallic
connection with the rod at the time of the stroke;
as the fluid descends the rod, the staple is aa
much charged, in proportion to the size, as the
rod ; but the fluid will not leave a stronger for a
weaker conductor, more especially when the sta
ple is driven into a hard dry wall, which pos
sesses no attraction, and the rod is in connection
with damp earth, which acts, in this respect, like
a suction-pump. A rod such as I have described,
with a proper point and cluster, will and must
protect a building from lightning. . "
And now the question occurs, v. hit is a prop
er point ? Many rods that I have seen, which
hava been put up during the past summer, have
points of copper, zinc, lead, cast-iron polished,
&c, which, it is needless for me to sjy, are ut
terly worthless.

ffhe following gentlemen, having carefully in
vestigated the principles opon which my rods
are constructed and put up, declare they have no
hesitation in saying that they believe them to be
the best rods in nse, and the only safe ones they
have ever seen ; and they recommend them to alt

Every recess is converted into shrines for
others. The smooth surfaces are covered
by small flat images in burnt elsy, and set
in stucco. Of these last, there are literally
thousands. In some places, they have
fallen off, with the plaster in which they
were set, and left spots of naked rock against
which bees have built their hives undis
turbed. Nowhere in the country have I
seen such a display of wealth, ingenuity,
and industry. But imposing as is this
spectacle, it shrinks to insignificance, com
pared to the scene which opens on enter
ing the cavern itself. It is of vast size,
chiefly in one apartment, which needs no
human art to render it sublime. The eye
is confused, and the heart appalled, at
the prodigious exhibition of infatuation and
folly. Every where, on the floor, over
head, ou the jutting points, and on the
stalactite festoons of the roof, are crowded
together images of Gaudama the offerings
of success! ve ages. Some are perfectly gilded
others incrusted with calcareous matter ;
some fallen, yet sound; others mouldered;
others just erected. Some of these are ot
stupendous size; some not larger than one's
finger; and some of all the intermediate sizes;
marble, stone, wood, brick, and clay. Some
even of marble, are so time-worn, though
of tem

obtain, without reducing the size of the rod, an
extension of its surface. I arrange a spring be

is that it contracts and expands, according to the

This cave has evidently been long deser
ted, except that a single large image at
the entrance is kept in repair,before which
were some recent offerings. I might there
fore, have easily obtained images for my
friends ; but Mr. J. being afraid of an
injurious influence on the native Christians
who were with vs, I abstained, and after
ward obtained a supply by regular purchase.
The last one we visited is on the Salwen,
about fifteen or twenty miles above Maul
main. The entrance is at the bottom of a
perpendicular but uneven face of the moun
tain, enclosed in a strong brick wall which
forms a large vestibule. The entrance to
this enclosure ia by a path, winding along
the foot of the mountain ; and nothing re
markable strikes the eye till one passes
the gate, where the attention is at once
powerfully arrested. Not only is the space
within the wall filed with images of Gau

the mountain, to the height of eighty or
ninety feet, is covered with tbeni. On

Maiuc has taken the lead in the prac
tical illustration of the Woman's Rights
doctrine, as she did in the Prohibitory Li
quor Law movement In the Eastern
District of the County of Lincoln, Miss
Olive Rose has been elected Register of
Deeds, by some 260 majority over one un
fortunate Mr. Sylvester. Olive was an
assistant of the late register, and has no
doubt satisfied the public of her competency
and integrity, by the faithful discharge of
her duties, though she has probably never
worn a Bloomer dress, or made a speech
at a Woman s Rights Convention. So if
her constituency are satisfied and the law
is not violated, the rest of mankind, as
well as the rest of womankind, have no
right to complain.
Rut there are some delicate questions
that may arise out of this matter. Sup
pose this feminine Register of Deeds, with
the pretty name of Olive Rose, should
captivate some shrewd down-easter, either
by the the beauty of her face, the charms
of her disposition, or the fees of her office;
and suppose Olive Rose should become
Olive Simpkins now who would be the
Register of Deeds? Certainly not Olive
Simpkins; for she would be merged, with
all her rights, property, emoluments, fran
chises and fees, in her husband, Jonathan
Simpkins. Then, would Jonathan be the
sun. Register, ia right of his wife, Olive ? Ol
Franklin's in another shape : " Take cure
of the pennies, and tho pounds will take
care of themselves." Rut it cannot be
too often repeated. Men are continually
indulging in small expenses, saying to
themselves that it's only a trifle, yet for
getting that the aggregate is serious, that
but little effect I fed in salt and meal
giving a spoonful to each calf about twice

the same remedy, on all kinds of animal

be given in fair weather, or the auiinald
housed, else there is a liability of taking
cold and injury being done to the animals.

Asti-Slayery i!t a Slavs State.
A correspondent of the Syracuse Chronicle
states, that all the members of the Unita

holders, have lately emancipated their
slaves, unconditionally, without banish
ment to Liberia or anything else. It is
further stated that the Society referred to

that, in making such a sum, a man acquired
