Long slivers or pieces Of wood were
driven into the wall, and part of
chair was driven through The PANEL of
door into the room where Mr.. and
Mrs. S. with their small children were
in bed. The window of a small cham
Der bedroom, in which two young la
dies were sleeping, was driven in; the
castings struck the wall with great force,
and fell on the bed without injuring
them. 1t is remarkable that of IA per-
sons in the house, not one was seriously
injured. All were sensible Of severe
electrick shock. In the front room on
the first floor, a looking glass, chairs, a
table, and several large pictures, were
dashed TO pieces-glasses on the side
board were in windows shivered
to mantle-piece torn off-large
assures were in the chimney, and in a
garnet bedroom directly over the heads
OF children who were asleep The fluid
passed off by the tin leader across the
end of the house, leaving the frame
and clapboarding in the whole course.
It is worthy OF remark that all the fam
lily were in bed, to which circumstance
may be ascribed their safety. A cage
was demolished, but its little tenant es-
capped without injury.
The providential escape of Mr.. Spoon
er's family may be attributed entirely
to the circumstance of their all being
on feather beds. Had the shock taken
place early in the evening, before the
family had retired, it would have been
next 10 impossible for so many persons
to escape, amidst complete demolition
of the house. To the same circum-
stance may be ascribed the safety of the
little bird, whose feathers shielded him
from the effect of the fluid, which
shattered its cage.

The following paragraphs are from an adj
dress made by Hon. Josiah Quincy, Chairman
of the School Committee, at the opening of
new publick school in Boston, as published
in the Boston GalaTy:-
The first sentiment, which naturally arises
in the mind, at the opening of one of those
institutions on which so greatly depends the
moral and intellectual character of our city,
is that of deep and devout thankfulness to
that INFINITE BEING who has made us to
differ, and who has distinguished our city, in
so many respects, for its character and priv
ileges.
The next predominating impression which
the occasion makes upon the mind, is that Of
respect and honour to those wise and pious
ancestors of ours, who laid the foundation OF
that great prosperity we at this day enjoy,
on the broad and deep principles of general
learning, and as far as, in the nature OF
things, is practicable, on an universally diff
fused information. The viruous policy and
prospective wisdom of those great and good
men, rested the hopes of society on the uni
versatility Of the means Of education, in col
leges above all, in schools, adapted for the
use, and free to the access, Of the children OF
the whole community. The consequences OF
this policy Of theirs are every day seen ana

LIGHTNING RODS
statesman.

The Editor of the Evening Post
makes melancholy accident by light
ming, which lately occurred in Connecti-
cut, and by which two persons in
church were instantly struck dead, the
text for theological controversy. Leay-
ing knotty points in divinity to the care
OF the Post, we seize this occasion to re-
mind the publick of the Importance of
Dr. Frapklin's invention, and of reduc-
ing it more generally to practice. Had
the church, which was in moment
shattered by lightning, been furnished
with a good conductor, it would in all
human probability have escaped uninjur-
ed, and the lives of two persons been
spared. Strange as il may seem in this
enlightened age, superstition inclines
some to believe it useless and even i'm
pious TO attempt to shield themselves
from the thunderbolt by ordinary pru-
dence and caution. Precisely the, same
argument might be urged against at
tenpts to elude the violence of wind,
fire, water, pestilence, or any of the
great agents of nature. The Supreme
Being governs the world through the
Intervention of regular and fixed laws,
and if we wantonly expose ourselves to
the operation Of these, or refuse to a.
void them when in our power, we must
abide the consequences. 1t is as certain
as any principle in philosophy. that a
good conductor affords perfect security
to buildings against the effects of light
ming; and yet how many houses do we
see, either from the above cause or
through negligence, destitute of light
ming rods, while almost daily accidents
in different parts of the country remind
US Of this necessary appendage? One
may judge in part Of the intelligence
and character of city or district by the
number Of rods which point to heaven.
Where they abound, the traveller may
without much hesitation expect TO find a
philosophical people. The expense of
conductor is but trifling and every
house should be furnished with one, if it
were only as monument to the genius
and philosophy of our illustrious coun-
tryman, who disarmed the cloud of its
bolt, and the tyrant of his sceptre " E.
ripuit cello Jut'nen, sceptrmnque tyrannis."

many others are scarcely expected TO

PROSPECT or a GENERAL VAR.
The London Sup of May 10, says
1t is nov certain that Russia has assem-
bled an army on The Vtstuia, and the ru-
mours OF the intended journey of the
Emperour Alexander to Rad-Ems, seem
to indicate the manner in which this
force is meant to be employed. Prof
ectS have been attribntod TO his imperi-
al Majesty, which, il true, would be
ratherinconsistent with tbs character of
faithful ally Of the French Govern
ment, and would give the Spaniards no
reason to apPrehend any thing from
Russian hostility We shall not other
wise aIIude to the alleged projects at
present. All that we have to say is
this THAT affairs are obviously approach
mystic crisis which must in0olue Eu-
rope IN an0ther general 00ar. We have
always, as our readers know, anticipated
that the frantick attack upon Spain
would bring matters to this pass at last
We therefore shall not be surprised
by the tremendous events which are at
hand. Unless the war between France
and Spain be brought 10 speedy close
indeed, either by the triumph Of the
French. Or by a peace founded upon
mutual concessions, England 0oiA be
forced into the conflict sooner than the
pnblsck generally oPpreherd.-We make
this assertion on no light grounds and
from no other motive than desire TO
put those on their guard, who might be
injured by sudden change of the policy
of the country. twill be seen that we
do not trihe with subject so serious
IN the highest political quarters, IL as moo
betieved that our neutrality cannot be much
longer maintained"
