attend the annual examination OF the
school.
The examination commenced at 2 o.
clock, p. M. and was continued until q.

The Emperor of Austria has been applied
TO for a pardon, but he has addressed to
the tribunals an order to proceed con-
formally TO the laws, without regard to
the rank of The prisoner. Shortly after
the order had been received, with the aid
of some of his friends, the Count made
his escape from the prison of Pest; but
was apprehended, and re-conducted back,
where he remains in chains.
The Persian ambassador has been re-
ceived with very great distinction in Lon
don. The fair Circassian who accomps-
MED him from Persia, has also received
the attention of the curious in the me-
tropolis, many ladies Of the first distinc.
| ton having visited her, and presented her
many presents. She is represented TO be
of small stature, her skin of yellow
tinge, Of regular features and expressive
countenance.
On the 29ih Of April, many persons Of
distinction, and some of the foreign min.
listers, visited the Ambassador. Among
the latter was Mr.. Rush, the American
minister, and Mr.. Adams Smith, the Sec
rotary Of legation. In the afternoon Of
the same day, the Ambassador, accompa-
MED by Mr.. Gore Onsley, aud Mr.. Will
lock, bis secretary, mounted upon three
of the Persian horses, took a ride through
Hyde Park. His Excellency rode beau

reading and spelling in tie English ham
guage, was greater than could have been
anticipated, from lads who few months
s'uce, were taken from savage wilder
ness. But the improvements in writing
were particularly conspicuous. The
writing books exhibited very handsome,
and some OF them were elegant specimens
Iot penmanship. The class in Geography
and Rhetoric did themselves, and their in.
siruetors great honour. The examination
10 surveying, Navigation and Astronomy
evinced correct knowledge of those
branches OF Mathematics. George P.
Tamoree, exhibited complete calcula-
ton of an eclipse Of the Moon, made by
himself, accompanied with very hand
some projection Of the eclipse.
But the attention of the visitors was
particularly engaged by the examination
in Theology.
| The two youths who were examined

gave satisfactory answers to all the ques
tons, and recapitulated the arguments and
proofs 10 support Of the answers, aud es-
peciaiy their readiness in repeating and
applying passages of scripture, we're truly
astonishing TO every one present.
The agents were very happy in bestow-
ling high, and as they conceived, merited
encomiums upon all the pupils for their
proficiency, as we'll as for their orderly
kand respectful behaviour during the pasl
term. The register of behavior which
was read By the principal, to the agents
Exhibited large proportion Of the pupils
as chargeable with no deviation from the
rules of the school during the term.
At II o'clock, A. M. on Wednesday
the school and agents, together with a
number OF clergymen and gentlemen from
the neighboring towns, formed process
sion at the clearinghouse, and proceed

in their several native languages. Among
which were specimens of the Taheitan,

kee, the Choctaw, the Oneida, the Stock
bridge. the French, and the Hebrew Lam

friends of the school.

TORNADO AND HAIL STORM.

TORNADO AND HAIL STORM
On Wednesday the 9th inst we we're
visited with storm, more tremendous In
its appearance, aud more desolsting in its
effects, than our Oldest inhabitants remen-
Der to have before witnessed. For four
or five days previous, the weather had
been intensely warm, and on wednesday
the heat seemed to be augmented. AT
four o'clock, cloud arose in the west,
attended with the most vivid lightning ana
heavy peais Of thunder. Its approach
was SO rapid, that but few had time 10
guard against the disasters which follow
ed. A gale soon commenced, succeeded
by torrents of rain and showers OF haii-
stones of the most frighlful dimensions.
1t continued about ten minutes, wnen le
in a measure abated, and left our citizens
to witness a melancholy scene OF Inc oe'
struction of property.
The width of the tornado was about
two miles. Its length we have not yet
learned; though We have been told, tls'
40 miles west, and 2 miles east oil tms
place, its effects were very severe
Throughout its course, the destruction
of forest-trees, apple-trees, aud grain mas
been immense. Whole groves OF timber
in many places, have been leyelled to the
earth; and numerous orchards have been
nearly if not completely ruined. The de,
struction of fruit and winter grain, ana
the prostratieB of fences is UNIVERSAL
Many barns at the west have been nnrool-
ed and some wholly demolished. At the
Ten Springs, one mile northeast OF tins,
v;llaoe' the barn of Messrs. John aDd
Ziba Taylor, was struck by lightning and
consumed, together with shed and corn-
house. the latter containing nearly TWO
hundred bushels of grain. 1t was WIN
the utmost difficulty that the store Oh 'ne'

formed one Of the colonies of ancient
Greece. The head was encircled with
a laurel wreath in gold on the forehead

PhiIip.) On each side of the body were
vases OF silver and porcelain, chains OF
gold, aud earrings. On one Of the fin
gers was a gold ring, with precious
stone, on which were ensraven two figures,
the one male, and the other female, admi-
rabiy executed.
LONDON, April IS.
A youug man OF the name oil Wood
ward, resident of Exeter, who was
present at the execution of the two capi-
tal couvicts in that city last week, was
so shocked at the sight when the mel
were turned of, that he complained of a
sudden pain at his heart, when he returned
home Immediately, and died few hours
after.

The Petersburgh Journals have receiv,
ed the accounts published by the German
papers of the murder of Nj. Won Kotze-
Ibue; but they make no comments. The
Russian Bible Society distributed, il
seems, IN the year 1918, 72,o0o copies
of the Holy Scriptures, aud will print
this year l0l, 500 copies, in several Ian
guages, among which are those Of the
Tschuwaschi, Ostiacks, and Waguls.
According TO an article from Mannheim Of
the Goth alt. Sandt, Kotzebue's assassin,
was then speechless. Ali, it is said, who
have access to him, are sworn not to d.
,vulge syllable of what they see or hear.
This oath is equally administered to the
gaolers, doctors, and ecclesiastics. The
consequence is, that nothing transpires
with respect to the wretched fanatic. To
all the northern towns Of Germany infor.
nation is officially collecting with respect
TO the secret societies formed by the siiu-
n,indh. The Russian Grand Duke Mi
ohael left Rome on the 18th ult. for Lom-
hardy. The Emperor and Empress Of
Austria were occupied in visiting the
different churches and other public edi-
fees. On the 18th uit. Mnssulman, son
of one of the principal officers of the
Bey of Tunis, was baptized in the Church
of St. John, by Cardinal Lit,a. The
young man was about % years old, and
had been converted to Christianity after
having read many Of the most celebrated
theological writer's.
One hundred aud sixty.five wolves were
destroyed in the department Of Cote dor
during the year 1918.
A German paper says" Thirty-three
years ago man of the name Of Morgan
sterne, of BenshoD, 10 Lower Silesia, went
TO the East Indies as a Common sailor.
Intelligence has been received that he is
dead, leaving fortune of SO millions
Query dollars.) A crowd of collateral
relations claim share Of this immense
property"

SURGICAL OPERATION.
Seneca COUNT. MAJ 81, 1879

Seneca County, May 27, 1879.
MFR. BoGERT,
Dear Sir-On Thursday the Goth inst
was invited, together with several others
of the medical profession, to attend the
operation Of paracentecis of the thorax, on
son Of Mr.. Stout's, at Seneca Falls, a.
bout II years old. The advantages ]
derived from the examination of the pa
tient before the operation, the operation
itself, and its result, are certainly such as
should have been very unwilling to have
lost. DR.. Vanderburg commenced the
operation in the usual place, between the
9Th and 7th ribs, on the left side Of the
chest, and completed the operation ex.
clusively with the knife. DIR. Bellows
was the assistant sUrgeon;-Drs. Rose,
Fifeld, Loring, Wells, Elliot, niece,
Vantuyl, and Kuigbt, were present, and
Witnessed the discharge Of three measured
QUARTS Of purulent matter, weighing seven
and a half pounds, including the bowl,
and drawn from betwixt the pleurs, and
left lobe of the lungs.
1t is unnecessary to give you more
particular description of this interesting
case, as it is understood that a detailed
account is expected from the pen of the
operator. Yours, &c.
