From the Worcester (Mass.) Spy.
Wonderful Escape from lagiitning.
A more remarkable escape irom ueam oy
lightning than that we now place on record,
perhaps has never occurred in this country.
On the afternoon of the 30th ult., the children
from our several schools, to the number of up
wards of four hundred, were assembled at the
vestry of the Baptist Meeting house, preparato
ry to a pic nic which they were to attend to the
3d inst. About 4 o'clock a small cloud came
up, from which a heavy clap of thunder pro
ceeded, apparently very near by, in conse
quence of which, and of other indications of a
shower, they were dismissed in the hope that
ihey would have time to reach their homes be
fore it would rain. It is estimated,however, that
not more than about one third of them had left
the room, when the building was struck by a
discharge of lh electric fluid, which spent most
of its force in the lower part of the house, par
ticularly in the vestry where the children were
assembled. The scene which ensued may be
imagined but cannot be described. Of the 250
children who were in the room, a considerable
portion were struck instantly to the floor. Fif
teen or twenty who were crowding to the door
were laid prostrate in a heap, piled one upon
another. Some were stunned, and others ap
pear to have been deprived, for a time, of their
reason. Some dezen or fifteen of them were
more or less injured, but not one of them dan
gerously! A daughter of the publisher of this
paper, about 9 years old, was blistered on her
wrist, on her left arm and on the bottoms of her
feet. Her shoes wore torn from her feet, the
upper leather rent to tatters and a hole about
as large as would bo made by a good sized
buck shot was pierced by the electric fluid,
through the sole of each. When brought home,
her feet were much swollen and looked red and
inflamed, as if they had been dipped in water
not quite hot enough to raise a blister, except
on the soles directly over where the holes were
burnt in the bottom of the shoes, where blisters
were raised. She could not stand, and com
plained of numbness from her knees downward,
except in her feet, which were exceedingly
sore to the touch. But she recorered so as to
be about the house, apparently as well as usual,
the next morning, except a slight lameness
from the burn on one of her feet. A child of
Lewis Thayer had her shoes torn from her feet

PRIVATE SALE.
The subscriber being old and infirm, offers
at Private Sale, the following property situate
in Dmgman township, Pike county, Pa. viz:
70 ACRES OF JLAND.
a part of which is in a good slate of cultivation,
and cuts about ten tons of hav yearly. I he
improvements are a good
JLtQg Dwelling House,
a good FRAME BARN, and se.ve-
al oilier useful and necessary outhouses. The
m a similar manner. Utnor children were I subscriber also oilers lor sale,
burnt on different parts of their bodies. All of i
them, we believe, were in a good degree
re
covered the next morning, except a daughter of
Peter Slater, who was more injured than the
rest, but not dangerously so.
The damage by lightning was owing to the
unscientific and defective manner in which the
conductor was fitted. In putting it up, a hole
was drilled into a rock some three or four feet
deep, into which the lower end was inserted
and there left, instead of being carried to where
it could communicate with some conducting
substance. It might just about as well have
been cut off at the surface of the earth. As
might have been expected, the fluid, unable to
escape at the lower end, exploded, and entered
the side of the house about midway from the
eaves to the ground, and apparently at some
other places lower down. It tore off the clap
boards and cohering for some extent about
the place where it first entered. Thence it
esems to have spread itself in all directions
through the lower part of the house. Timbers
were shivered, and the marks of the fluid are
to be traced with more or less distinctness over
a considerable portion of the vestry floor. The
children who were most injured were at the
end of the room next to the conductor, some of
ihem standing directly under an open window,
where, it is believed a portion of the fluid en
tered. The door is at the end of the room.
The cloud from which this shock proceeded,
was, as we have before said, small; but little
Jain fell from it at all, and, at the same time the
house was struck, we believe the sun Shone
bright.

Cut hy Machinery, and warranted superior to
any heretofore manufactured.
GEORGE F. NESB1TT, Tontine building,
corner of Wall and Water streets, New-York,
respectfully informs the Printers of the United
States, that he has now in full operation his ma
chine for cutting Wood Types, which being an
entire new invention, is warranted to cut Types,
botli plain and ornamental, far superior to any
heretofore exhibited to the public; and in proof
of the assertion, informs the public that he has
obtained Diplomas and Medals from both, the A
merican and Mechanic's institutes of the City
of New-York, at their Fairs of 1836, 1838, and
1839, as the books of the Institute will show.
George F. Nesbitt would particularly invite
the attention of Printers to the fact, that through
the politeness of the propristors of the Liver
pool and Havre line of packets, he ha been fa
vored with the latest French and English spe
ciraens, that many of the new styles in them
are very handsome, and have been got up by
him: they were exhibited by him at the Me
chanic's Fair in this city, now just closed and
pronounced by ihe Committee of Printers, ap
pointed to examine Types and Specimens, to
be superior to any Wood Types ever before ex
hibited, and having a decided advantage over
large Matal Types.
George F. Nesbitt, would also inform the
Printers of the United States, that he is ready
to cut Types on Wood of any size, from 5 lines
Pica, upward, from any of the patterns of small
or Types contained in the extensive specimen
of Messrs. G. Bruce & Co., or from any new
-
pattern that can be suggested.
3XJ3 George F. Nesbitt is desirous that Prin
ters, and those becoming Agents, should be ac
quainted with the fact, that his prices are much
reduced from those heretofore charged by other
manufactures; that he allows his Agents thirty
per cent, commission; that his terms are six

THE CONSTITUTION.
What is that we call the Constitution ? The
constitution is evidently that which constitutes,
and that which constitutes is the blood. We, there
fore, know that the blood is the constitution, and
that a good or bad constitution is neither more nor
less thah a good or bad state of the blood. There is
tio person who, having lost health, does not wish to
have it restored. Use then the vropcr means. Ex
pel with Purgative Medicine all currupt humors
from the body, and the blessing, Health, will be
the certain result: for all pains or unpleasant feel
ings proceed irom the presence ol corrupt or vi
tiated humors, which are the real cause of overv
disease, and therefore the only disease to which the
human frame is subject, because they cloc uo the
veins and arteries, and prevent the free circulation
of the blood.
Brandrcttts Vegetable Universal Pills cure this
disease : because they remove the corrupt or vi
tiated humors by the stomach and bowels, leaving
the good humors to give life and health to the bo
dy. It is morally impossible that they can fail to
cure, provided Nature is not entirely exhausted.
Dr. Brandreth's Office for the sale of his pills
in Philadelphia, is No. 8, North Eighth street.

.Stagnation oft' tlie Blood.
The repeated changes in the atmosphere, by act
ing as they do upon the consistence and quality of
the blood, give occasion lor the most fatal and ma
lignant disorders. The blood from a state of health
becomes stagnant and is plunged into a state bf
corruption.
Thus it loses its purity: its circulation is impe
ded; the channels of life arc clogged; the bowels be
come costive, and if not an Immediate attack of
some malignant fever, headache, nausea, loss of
appetite, and a general debihtv ot the whole frame
are sure to follow.
It requires- the tempest and the tornado to bring
about a state of purity in the ocean, when its wa
ters become stagnant; and it will require repeat
ed evacuation by the stomach and bowels before
the blood can be relieved of its accumulated impurity.
Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills,
should be taken, then there will be no dancer; bi-
cause they purge Irom the stomach and bowels
these humors which are the cause of stagnation,
cleanse the blood from all impurities, ienibve every
cause oj pain or weakness, and preserve the consti
tution in a state of health" and vigor that causual
changes cannot effect.
