From records in the statistical office at Berlin, Germany, it appears that houses with thatched roofs are struck by light- .ning about seven or. eight times more frequently than ordinary slated dwell. ing houses. Country houses are also more frequently affected than those in towns. This is due to the greater amount of vegetation in the country, plants hav- ing more power to induce destructive discharges than other substances. Though this is the case, there’ are, of course great. differences in electrical characteristics of plants, which increase in some and decrease in others the liabil- ity to destruction by lightning. For instance, if the risk to the beech be taken as one, that to a pine (fir or spruce) is fifteen, to an oak forty-five, and to most other deciduous trees like the ash, sycamore, etc., forty. The compar- ative immunity of the beech is said to be due to the fact that its leaves are fringed with numerous short hairs which allow the electricity collected in the substance of those organs to escape quietly into the air. da hE Rocks and soils also have great influ ence onthe risk run by localities’ from destruction by thunderstorms. ~ Thus, if a limestone rock or limy soil be taken as one; that for a‘sandy soil is nine, and for natural moss or swampy land, eighteen to twenty-two. . a During ia thunderstorm in ‘Scotland heavy rain most frequently, and generally only, occurs; but’ in some partsof Eng- land, and in many places abroad; hail is of quite as common occurrénce as rain, and far more destruction to property is wrought by these little pellets of ice than by lightning; so much so, that crops, ete.,.in those parts, are regularly insured against its power of devastation. . With regard to hailstoring in England a curiouis'fact is known, but cannot be satisfactorily. dxplained—rviz., that in Huntingdonshire and in the bordering portions of surrounding counties the damage done by hail is very considerably greater than that wrought in any. other part of England over a similar area —= Yankee Blade. | LA § & [Tr —————————r— It turns out that Anarchist Ravachol | 14 a native of Holland” add not o while driving to w 4 Heart disease was the cause.

Glancing up to or at the Heights, we saw there were the forts sure enough, but to all ap- perances not a rebel in them; there bes: ing tut one solitary head peering out of one of the portholes. Our boys be. gan to say the forts were deserted. Finally we deployed a. line of skirm- ishers. The ground in front was swam- py and marshy, terminating further down to the left in a pond which gas crossed by a plank bridge. 93 skirmishers advanced the soliter: head disappeared, and in its stead horses were discerned, driving up and wheeling around, and cannon thurst their ugly noses out, and soon shells whistled over us. The boys then said “Ah! they're over there. ~~ Our skirmishers were withdrawn and a battery with us exchanged shots, for a while, then all became quiet again. Our regiment was then moved to the left a square or so, in the shelter of the houses. Presently we received orders to unsling knapsacks, and take the caps off of our pieces. The boys looked at each vther with serious faces; there was a deathlike stillness, an omi. nous silence; everything was as quiet a8 a Sunday should be. The 61st Pa. was on our right in the next block. They received the order, “Forward, by the might flank, double- quick,” which they did, left in front. The 82d closed in behind and follow- #d, and the 43d N.Y. was to follow us, Everything was quiet; not a shot was fired out of the rebel forts until the head of column (61st) was well on the bridge, Then they opened with shell, shot and bullet, causing tremendous slaughter. Our regiment being ‘yet behind, and on higher ground, I saw it all. The head of the column crumbs led and melted; the boys fell on the bridge, and off the bridge into the water on both sides. I distinctly saw Col. Spear fall at the head of his regi- ment. How did I see all of this? 61st wavered for a moment—a moment only, but in that moment, with the column pressing behind, there came a jam on the bridge. Oh! carnage and slaughter.’ A ‘writh. ing, shiieking mass, shell and shot poured in, mowing down the brave boys. A shell mowed down a rank of four in front of me. Striking a stone foundation it exploded, and a piece flew back and mowed down others. "was one terrible momentary struggle, then the way was opened, the column began to move, bullets striking the water like hail. Over the bridge we rushed and up the hill, scrambling and chasing into the forts. = Hard . to tell indeed who was the first man, but I can safely say the 61st were the first men, while the 82d was with them shoulder to shoulder. The rebs went flying in all direc {ions, though some made a brief stand at a house in rear of the fort. My diary says two cannon were captured. I well remember one, on which the First Lieutenant of Company H, 82d Pa. (Owen Tompkins), placed a driver and started it to the rear. I saw a reb. el (an officer I judge) mount and ride off with two horses right from out out very midst. When called on to halt he cooly took off his hat, waved it defi antly, and galloped off. Truly it was a daring deed, and all done in a flash. Our commanding officer was shouting, :“Rally on the colors,” which was quick- ly done, and when reforming we heard cheering. About an eighth of a mile to our left other regiments were reform. ing. The 6th Me, and 5th Wis. had a hand to hand encounter, in which bay. onets and clubbed muskets were freely used in driving the rebs out from be- hind the stone wall at the bottom and the artillerymen out of the big fort at the top of the hill. The success of that column and ours compelled the rebs to evacuate the other works along the line. : As we began to advance in line, crack, whiz, bang! a shell came over our heads, right along ‘the line from the right, causing the boys to make their bow. On our right, one or two fields dis. tant, wos a rebel regiment, retreating. Their line was exactly on line with ours, With them was a battery,which was loading, wheeling, and firing at us. They gave us several shots, 'but did no harm, and the nature of the groun soon caused a separation. 3 ‘We advanced a few miles and found the rebs again at Salem Heights. Our troops were advancing to take posi: tion, and a bloody fight was kept up until after dark. Before dark some ‘rebel prisoners passed us. One big red. head sang out: “J ackson will tend to you-ens pretty soon.” We lay down that night in line of battle, our knap- her, and then r y Jouse, i any eonle ol i At of th bold ow. sil: a * sacks being in Fredericksburg.

We came to a little house on the road: All was dark and silent.: We entered and, feeling around in the dark, found, oh, joy! a: pile of jackets and clothing. Quickly gathering up each an armful, we found our way back to the line, shared with the boys, and everybody was happy, for a while; at at least But, alas! at daylight our joy turned into morning, for the enemy had stolen a march on us. He was in» side, outside, down our neck. up our pants, up our sleeves, everywhere. and all over us. In brief, it was a pile of rebel clothing we had found, and was literally swarming with “graybacks.” Well, you may just bet the boys gave us a blessirg. All the next day the boys maneuvered from place to place. Hooker having been whipped at Chancellorsville, the rebs fell back and bestowed their at- tentions on the Sixth Corps. They flanked us, got in our rear, and had re. taken the Heights, Fredericksburg, and—our knapsacks. : Not to make my sketch too long, T will only say, further, that our line of battle eventually became somewhat (it seemed to me) the shape of a balloon, and we got out at the little end of ity crossing the river on a poutoon bridge three or four miles north of Fredericks- burg before day in the morning of the 5th.—ALoNzo JomNsoN, in, National Tribune. : An Evidence of Popularity. “Ts this onc of the popular songs of the day?’ inquired the customer in & music store yesterday. “I guess 80,” gaid the clerk; “I saw a man hit with a. brick this morning for singing it."
