In the north, the damage to the wheat in crop, fro the variable and, wet latter harvest, has been great ;. and feW good samples will be produced from "those parts., Their barley, also, has been much damaged, and is selling at a very low price. A similar complaint is made of all kinds of, Hive stock, pigs excepted,• which . still 'retain. their full market value, or; even in increase, in all parts. Tilths,,too, are backward in the north, There verse of all this, hOWeirer, is, fortunately, the ease, on all our good lan& southwards. Wool remains in every part of the country in the 'same dull state, with the exception noted in our-la/it. ON DEATH BY LIGHTNING. (From the Medical Gazette.) It is not to be supposed that the operation of an electric shock on the animal body will be the same in all cases-. It is more probable that it expends its influence sernetimes' .on one part, sometimes on another, and that the effects produced by it. will vary accordingly. A boy was admitted into St. George's hospital under:the following circumstances hid several superfieila sores oh his abdomen and limier limbs, and :he gave the following account of their origin. In .the. mouth of July, during a thunder-storm, he %vas sitting with.several other persons under a hove] covered with thatch-. A- flash of lightning struck the *hovel, and set fire. to the thatch: the bey; and a woman who Was'of the party, fell senseless. . The woman was instantaneously deprived 'of life; but .the bq recovered his sensibility after the lapse of a few minutes. He; had been drawn out of the: hovel, before he could feel_ any effects from the burning thatch, and his clothes were uninjured; but shortly afterwards large vesications took place about the pubesniul thighs, precisely resembling those which arise from a scald ;• and they terminated in a similar .manner, that is, in producing ulcerations. •It is evi dent' that, in his case, the electricity must haVe aaed chiefly" on the -surface of- the—body. - A cor responding case is recorded in the sixty-sixth volume of the Philosophical Transactions. A bullock, which was pied white and red, was exposed to a violent thunder-storm. A stroke of lightning consumed the white, hut leftithe red hairs. In another volume, of the - Philosophical Transactions is the history of a Man who was instantaneously.destroyed by lightning,. which made a wound in ihis neck, and . burned the surface of the body, so f4iat the integuments re .sembled scorched leather. But a stroke of lightning may also occasion death without injuring. (as far as. Ire are capable of perceiv ing)-the organization of any pert of the body. Wish ing to determine in. what iniiiiiser the electric in— fluence operates - on these occasions ; 'I• instituted the following experiment. An ::electric • battery of six jars being charged with electricity, the shock was' made to pass through a guinea-pig, in the longitudi nal direttiorr ' from the head to the tail: The animal immediately fell on one:side; as if stunned. • There; were convulsive actions of the muscles of the :ex tremities; which however presently' ceased. The, function of respiration- was not interrupted... In. a .feW minutes sensibility was' restored, and the animal recovered.' In this aperiment there were no marks of de- . rangement, of-the vital 'fun - dime, w ith the excep- Lion ofthose Of ihe 'brain ; and the animal suffered, as he might be expected to suffer, from concussion of the brain. . , .• . • An electric battery of nine jars. being charged with electricity, the shock was diScharked through ano ther guinea pig, in the direction from the - head . to the tail. J4mmediately ; the animal •fell on one side. There. were convulsive actions of thi muscles of the limbs; but it uttered no sound,.and altho ug h 'closely watched, it was not observed 'that' he breathed once after he.had received the shock. Three minutes afterwards I opened the chest, and found the heart acting with regularity and .vigour, about 80 times in #oillinnte, and circulating dark-,coloured venous peiistaltic motion of the intestines also etiititiined. On dissection no preternatufal appear ances presented themselves in any part of the body, and the muscles contracted readily when submitted to the influence of a voltaic battery. In .thi - s experiment it was evident that the electric sh - ock ditl not destioy the irritabil444thiLmuuglar fibre; nor did it affect the action of the:heart. Death took plfwe Aareriscly in the same manner as from a severe injury of the head, and the animal died ma nifestly from the destruction of the functions of the brain. There can be no doubt that if the lungs had been regularly inflated, the action of the heart would -have been maintained ; and very probably in this, as in many other. instances where the cause of death operates, especially on the •brain, by persevering in the process of artificial' the animal' would have been restored to life. • o_ a third experiment there were icerrgspending results, although death was not the immediate con sequence' of ihe.injtirjr. The`almiiml lay on 'one:Side the heart was distinguished acting through the ribs, apcl' lie continued to respire :.he was totally insen sible, except when roused, and then,he gave some imperfect signs'of sensibility, like a person suffering from concussion of the brain. There .were occa sional convulsive actions of the voluntary muscles, In the evening, five hours after the , experiment was made, he was still in the same condition,' but on the'following:morning. he was fciund dead and'stiff. It has been stated, on no less an authority than that of'n.. Hunter; that in a person killed by lightning there is an instantaneous and complete de•;, struction of the vital principle in every part of the animal machine; that the muscles are relaxed, and incapable of contraction ; that the limbs do not become stiffened as after ordinary death, : and ; that the body imme diately beginsto.undergo.the changes which are the result of putrefaction. That lightning never pro duces such phenomena as, these I am not prepared to asiert ; bat in the experifnents which I have just described; such an - instantaneous extinction of vita lity certainly did not take place. It is manifest that the functions of the brain were those on which the electric shock exercised its principal. influence, and that the suspension of those functions . was the im mediate cause,of death. . Nowlet us compare the reSalts'Of - these eiperi 'ments;_with those of huinaWbeings' who have been struck by lightning, and who have afterwards re-. covered.- One person (as we are informed), felt an impulse on one side of his head, and his sense of bearing was impaired afterwards. Another person felt as if stu pitied, and forced to the ground he. knew not how.' A third individual is described to have been rendered instantly. insensible ; the pulse being strong, though irregulku'. In eight minutes he began to move his shoulders; and, in four minutes more, 'he articulated some incoherent words ; 'but an hour and a half elapsed before he had entirely recovered his senses. The patient appears to have been under the care of Dr. Struve, a German physician, who published a treatise on the art of restoring suspended animation. He was bathed in cold water, and then covered over with earth, which was laid upon him six inches in, thickness; vinegar was poured down his throat, and the powers of his constitution enabled him to recover, in spite of the doctor's remedies. ,It appears to methat the facts which have been able to collect relating to this subject lead to this conclusion, that the influence of lightning, or of a powerful shock of electricity, in the majority of cases, is expended chiefly in disturbing or destroying the functions of the brain; and the treatment necessary. 'to counteract the effects of the injury may be corn prized in a few words. Expose the body to a moderate warmth, so as to preVent the loss of animal beat, to which it ins always liable where the functions of the brain are suspended, or impaired, and inflate the lungs'by means of a pair of bellows, so as to imitate natural respiration as nearly as possible,whenever the animal breathes with labour or difficulty, or when he has ceased 'to breathe altogether by his own efforts. A few days ago there was a fight between two factions at Newceetown, in the West of this County in which one man was killed and several wounded.— Cork Southern Reporter. PRICE 71). THE STONE TRADE. (From the Sccitsman.) . (The following article Whs. drawn up by a , friend, vvho is well acquainted with the Stone Trade, and has been an attentive observer of all the changes that have happened in it,. but who • has no interest whatever m the particular corn anodity of which he speaks so favourably.) Many advantages .have resulted from the. re peal of the impolitic tax on stone carried coast wise., The granite of : Aberdeenshire, sandstone from the Forth, and limestone from Cornwall, -are now found lying together on the-banks-nf the Thames; and, even in our northern metropolis, whose neighbourhood presents,. a N ple,,inineral stones for the- builder, 4 - instto . fd*4 for Stones from beyond the Forth, the. Tay, and from the other side of the Moray Frith. The advantage. ofa Cheap water carriage gives a selec tion of materials suited to various kinds of work, which the builder finds to be peculiarly commo dious. This is one consequence of the aboli tion of the . Stone Tax, which might alone be a full recompence for the efforts required_ to carry it. • The, aving stone brought from. Caith ness,.now lariat used at ,Glasgow, and coming lifie at Edinburgh, is a material which unites together so .many useful qualities, that the time is, perhaps, not far distant when it will supersede the substance presently employed for footways in London, and other principal towns in the empire. In regard to strength, lightness, durability and beauty,tlie Caithness stone, in my opinion, sur passes any Other kind of pavement that •I.am 4c 'quainted with. Floors of it may .be supported . on., joists 'of very moderate strength ; and it !is already used in paving lobbies:and . other orna ,mented. apartments. A - black variety formsele gent Moiaic work whert. laid along with coni partmentS ofa whiter stone. . rhave seen a spe cimen which had acquired A degree of lustre frOm polishing which seems to mark it out as 4 cheap and very tolerable s Substitnte , for black marble. ; Both varieties are ,found so plain and smooth in their natural state, that for the ordinary purpoies of pairing, they, require no surface hewing, and they lire ground to a greater fineness of surface merely by rubbing one piece upon another, inter, - posinOand and water, Thetexture is so close,that it . appears , to be . abiolutely imperviable to water, and henCe'it.:ii that it is free fron,the fractures and exfOliations . occasioned by freezing, so conimbn 'to stones of more porous structure. , From its smoothness, and. perhaps from its argillacious composition, it is easily - swept 'or washed. I have: observed, that:Where it isin the streets placed in . juxtaposition with a sandstone pavement, the lat ter,. on account of its granulated surface, entangles a coating of mug; while the Caithuess stone re mains comparatively- 'Clean, and that.. in the short cessation of rain which usually 'precedes frost, the cleaner . Caithness stone is dried, while a layer of wet mud is retained by the other, which is subsequently.glazed with ice, to the danger of the limbs of passengers. In one respect; its close ness and, fineness of texture is rather a disadvan tage, for 'when. carefully polished, pavement made of it-is dangerously smooth and slippery during rain..-. This remark has been repeatedly made respecting, the pavement in front - of the - iltdibnal Bank ; 'but the remedy is to leave the sukfithe in its natural state. On the other hand, its quality of impenetrability to water has been found ad vantageous in making cisterns and baths, which do not.require any lining. The superior dura bility of the newly adopted material is sufficiently known in the north by long • experience ; and, in town, I have seen that where slabs have been put to replace worn out sandstone, the contermi nous 'pieces are soon worn down, so as to leave the harder stone protruded above them. In several recent instances thin layers have been brought to the south, and employed in roofing, where they have given great satisfaction, and saved the ex pence of the boards called larking. In the pre sent infantine state of this 'new branch of com merce, it.may be impossible to foresee all the use to which this material is suited, but a few of its adaptations are self evident. For large platforms, long 'steps for stairs, and long • pilasters in one piece, stones have hitherto been procured at enor mous prices. If lam not deceived, much -better may be imported from Caithness, probably for a 'fourth part of the cost. Stairs may be built in the Manner of wooden ones. Incombustible buildings for the support of hearths, will remove theniost common cause of conflagration in houses. Slabs of black variety may be made into ele gant side-tables, curriers tables, drawing boards, and applied' to many other useful and ornamental purposes. The thicker layers of either sort, for any thing that I . can discover, may-form the ribs and other essential parts of arches of the largest span. • DOG STEALERS.— Those' who posess. valu able dogs are advised to be on their guard against depre dators upon this description of property.

On opening the tumour our informant, a professional gentleuian, was surprised on discovering the almost per fect formation of a young bird ! What adds to the singu larity of the case is the fact, that the hollow bag from which our friend . extracted the above extraordinary production was altogether unconnected, with the internal part of the pigeon.

A book should resemble the polypus, of which ,- cut into. as many portions as ,you please, - each section . still possesses vitality and beconies a perfeCt little creation. ' There cannot be : a snore certain test of the merit of a book than its capa bility of affording numerous ,and apposite qtiota- . tions. The reason of this' is' obvious. Vigorous and beautiful passages' will always attract !the notice and impress the memory of the -attentive reader, and when in conversation or literary com position analagous subjects are:started, they pre sent themselves, and. the Mind ' Spontaneously adopts, them as conveying . its sentiments in a manner superior to that which its own capabili ties can afford. Shakespeare, 'Pope, Byron, and Moore are peculiarly fertile in quotable passages. It las. been somewhere observed that there is scarcely a transaction even in the common and daily concerns of life which may not be appoSitely illustrated by a passage from " Don Juan t:" and indeediroth my own involuntary .everience, I am quite convinced that the observation is literally just. A friend, with whom 'I am-daily in per sone). communication, who nei%er'read , Byron, nor any other poetical .author, 'tells' me :that he is as' well acquainted with " Don Juan;" as those who have perused and 're-perused the volume from title-page to tail-piece, and that his knowledge is derived merely from my never-ceasing quotation*. I account for my habit of more frequently recur!- ring to this work than to any other, by the fact that it abounds in observations upon familiar oil jects and transactions ,abdve: almost any other production with which, I am acquainted. : It is seasoned, too, with mueli'acute yet delicate satire, and thus, perhails,lin 'some measure gratifies a lurking feeling' with which even the best natures are occasionally familiar.

Up- On this he left the-bed and 'throw up the win dow, and looked out, but could see no one ; having returned to his bed, .in a few •minutes afterwards he was alarmed in a similar manner, and again opened his window, but found no one ; and, after listening for some. time; .he again shut, his window and returned to bek where lie .had not lain many minutes 'before. lie' was a,„lraitt alarmed ; and on op e ning his lie r d-reriam:window a third time he discovered ,Itnan endeavouring to conceal himself from his vieV;tinder a sort of pent house over the front door of the house. frinittay then called out to. his wife for pistols_ (whie4.ll4..hael not), and threatened to shoot; but, on returning to the windoWylle 'found the fellow bad fled; and after waiting for some time he fastened his hed-rooni door, and retired to bed. On coming down stairs next morning, he discovered that his parlour window under his bed room had been wrenched open, and the bolt plate nearly torn from its hold. It, is appre hended the villains were afraid 'that morning to persevere any more in their attempts,. but were determined to adopt a different course, by taking advantage of the absence Of Mr.' May. This plan, on the eve of the follo - .ving day, , soon after ten 'o'clock, they *carried into effect,: by. encritig (with the assistance of a ladder) at the window of the bed room in which two of . his children were sleeping ; and from off the bed in that-room they took, for the purpose of Packing, a rug which partly covered the children.

She instantly put her candle down, and seized hold of the counterpane and . tore:it from the man ; and as the villain was descend ing a ladder against the window, 'Mrs. May took up a bludgeon lying by her'bedside, and levelled several blows at him, but could .not reach him. While thus engaged she obserVed another fellow at the foot of the ladder, and alarmed the neigh bourhood by her screams, .on which the villains fled, taking with them their ladder' and nearly all their plunder, having in . their flight dropped only the bundle tied up in - the rug taken off the children's bed, .and a few • trifling articles which were afterwards picked up in the neighbourhood.
