ExTRAoRDIEARY.-Th following extract is
taken from the London Literary Gdseite.--
The fact recorded forms the subject of a
volume just published by Mr.. w. Maiden,
surgeon, Of Stratlord.-
A person of the name Of Triple, took
off the bride before embarrassing his
horse; in consequence of hich the an
imal plunged forward and forced off the
off shaft through the chest, from right
TO left, just under the arms the point
of tie shaft was then forced further
through the outer and inner boardings
of the chalse house, space Of 8 l-2
inches. The man thus remained trans
fixed, and in some degree suspended,
until three farriers who happened to be
passing by, heard his cries, and went 10
his assistance. They soon extricated
him, placing his hand onthe end of the
shaft, by which he was impaled 10 draw
his body off; he then walked up two
pair of stairs TO bed. Under the bold
and judicious treatment of his medical
attendant, Mr. Maiden, assisted by Sir
w. BLIZZARD, he recovered; in twelve
days he was considered free from dan
ger; and in nine weeks the wounds
were healed. Notwithstanding his ir-
regular habits, (and his name !! he en-
joyed for five years as good health as
previously. After this time his mode
of life induced repeated attacks of dis
easeu the chest; and under one Of these
he recently died, ten years after the ac-
cident.

Farmers take aoarning. "-The steel pointed
rod prefixed to the barn OF Mr.. William Bum, OF
Florida, was struck with lightning on Friday the
Soth ut Several of the labourers were IN the barn:
the shock was tremendous; but the destructive ele-
ment was conducted harmless to the ground, which
ii tore up around the foot of the rod.
Barns, at this season OF the year are more liable
to be struck than other buildings Of the same height,
as they contain large quantities of vegetable matter
constantly emitting steam, which rising INTO the
air serve as conductors to the lightning. The tri-
fling expense of rod. and the absolute security
which they afford, should induce every farmer i'm
mediatey TO put one up 10 his barn, where SO much
of his treasure is deposited.
