houses, have had singular share in the
strokes of thunder.
Whatever the witch advocates may
make of it, is a scriptural and a rational
assertion, that, in the thunder, there is OFT
entimes, by the permission of God, the
agency of the Devil. The Devil IS the
prince Of the ar, and when God gives nun
leaveAhe has vast power in the AR, anu
armie& that can make thunder IN the G".
A gre3 man has therefore noted 1T. that
thunders break oftener on churches than
any other houses, because the demons have
a peculiar spite at houses that are set apart
for the peculiar service Of God."

This gentleman, who has now done his du-
ty, in the silent hour of night was called

for they had Morgan i'll custody, who was
about to reveal the secrets of masonry.
lie obeyed the summons, and took charge
OF the prisoner during five days and nights.
When he got up he saw man tied, as he
expressed it, hand and foot, and he then,
under the orders of several individuals,
was carried to the magazine, aud discuss
ions took place as to the disposal or desti
ny of their victim. On the day of the in
stallacion of the Lewistown Chapter, Nor
gon was restless and uneasy he begged
to have an interview with his wife and chill
dren, and was then stillcd to peace under
the idea that he would see them in four
days. At the same time our informant
avows that the masons were deyising plans
to get others in their ossession.-Morgan
was taken across the river, and when in
the boat said, "Gentlemen am your pris.
oner, and hope you viii use me kindly"
When this appeal was made to their hu-
mainly pistol was presented to his breast
by villain, who said, s. if you make anv
observations I will blow you through
The object of taking him to Newark was
to put him in charge of the Canadians
| The masons asked him what death he pre-
! ferred-his answer was 81 have been a
soldier in my country's service, and wish
ITO die as q soldier" lie said this in the
presence of twenty masons, and added
I" if you take my life, it will be more injury
to you than all that can write or say" Il.
appears that he was three times tied, and,
to the establishment of his murderers he
three times freed himself from his bondage
4 of cords. When he saw death was inev
table, and that wife and children he was
not permitted to behold, his last request for
a bible was refused with the repulsive an
swer, "you shall have neither bible nor
candle."-A rope was tied around his hands,
neck and body, with heavy weights attach
ed, and the unfeeling monsters rowed out
and threw him OVERLOOKED When the
deed of death was actually accomplished,
a Knight Templar in great speed came to
the Fort with dagger in his hand, and
inquired for Morgan, whenhe was told that
half an hour before they had drowned
him: he complined that he was not killed
nasonicalIy.-The lodge at Lewiston met
onthe night of the murder, and further
means were devised to carry off other in
dividuals. The names of the persons who
plunged Morgan in the deep have been
given to the Grand Jury of Ontario. These
facts speak for themselves, and comment

SHOCKING ACCIDENT. We do not re-
collect ever to have witnessed a more dis
tressing event than occurred at this village
on Monday, of last week. AS Mr.. Samuel
Mead of Middlesex, was digging dirt from
the side hill which had become shelving.
more than seven hundred tons of sand and
clay fell suddenly, some of it from an en-
lnence of thirty or forty feet, burning Mr..
Mead, and his cart and oxen. The alarm
was instantly given by Mr.. Abbott, who
narrowly escaped, with the loss of one of
his oxen. In few. minutes hundreds of
people were assembled at the spot. and as
many as could advantageously work were
necessarily employed in shovelling for the
space of three hours, before the lifeless
remains of Mr.. Mead were discovered.
He had escaped about three rods from
where he was at work, but was overtaken
by the falling dirt, and literally buried
alive. Both his collar bones were broken,
and most of his ribs on the left side. Both
his oxen were killed, and the cart broken
TO atoms, even TO the spol1es and hubs of
the wheels,

FRUIT MARKET. A great proportion OF
the peaches and plunls in our market QIe
raised in Burlington county, NJ. A person
retaining from New York to Burlington,
last week, met in one night sixty-five wag-
CONS loaded with fruit for our consumption.
The low prices it brings in Philadelphia,
from its great abundance in that neigh
bourhood, gives it this direction.

FIRE AT PORTLAND.
Extract Of letter dated Portland ..4as

Er'ract Of a letter dated Portland flag. %.
"Our town has again been visited with
destructive fire. 1t broke out quarter
past o'clock, this morning, in the lower
part Of three story wooden building
standing on the corner formed Ivy Fore
street and the passage way leading on tc
lngraham's wharf.-the stores on both sides
of that passage were burnt as far as the
Fish Market. On Fore street, the Old
Market House, and all the buildings tc
Long Wharf, and on the East side of the
wharf as far as the store of L. Greeley &
Son, the buildings were all consumed
Their store was with difficulty saved, be-
ing several stines on fire, and the further
progress Of the fire down the wharf was
there stopped"
The fire commenced in a store occupied
by Air. G. w. Bartol, at the head of lngra-
HAMS wharf, and extended down to Mr
Dodge's store--and to Long wharf, and
down to Messrs. L. Greeley & Sons store
and in a northerly direction as far us the
passage way that leads to the Pier-com-
prising in all about 25 tenements. But
small amount of goods were saved. by .
sudden change of wind, and the height o.
the tide, the remainder of Ingraham's ant
the Long wharf were preserved. The
greatest sufferers in buildings are c. @

Peach TREES. The New Jersey Mir
ror says, that tie quantity of Peaches tax
en- from Burlington county to New York,
this season, is we believe, unexampled. A
gentleman on his return from that city, a
few days since, informed US, that he met,
in one night, sirty3fge ,cagons loaded with
peaches and plums, for that market.
In some parts Of Pennsylvania great
difficulties has been experienced in raising
peaches, owing TO the ra9ages Of worms at
the roots Of the trees, The method of en-
grating the peach upon the plumb was
tried, but did notsucceed. TWAS the sng-
gested tosengraft the apricot on the plumb
and the peach upon the apricot-this meth
cd succeeds perfectly.

On the 28th ult departed this life Mr.. THOMAS In.
WY in the 65,h year Of his age; native of Ireland,
and one of the oldest and most intelligent merchants
of this place. He was gifted by nature with clear
and vigorous mind, improved by close observation,
and disciplined by long experience TO those of his
avocaton he set the best example OF active industry,
and his sentiments, all knew where to find him. BY
his uniform fiugay be had guaranteed his perfect in,
dependence in conduct, thought and word, and what
he willed he would do, he would, regardless of all
those small considerations which influence heads less
strong, and hearts less pure When conscience bore,
he was uncompromisng and sngularly firm. Feeling
for all he was severe unto himself and strctest with
those he loved In his friendship warm and untiring,
it might be worn to the bone Altered fortune, wther
ed expectation blasted hope, met from him but hand
more warm, and more decided assurance OF goodwill.
No walked this vain delusive world with cleaner
feet his course was upright and his end was peace!
