81. ALnANs. Avn June l6.


LIGHTNING. We are seldom called up
on to record a more remarkable instance of
providential protection than occurred in
Swanton, on Thursday morning last. Dur
ing the heavy shower Of rain which fell on
that morning, q school house situated in the
easterly part of the town, was struck with
lightning. The fluid first descended upon
the chimney throwing off the top, and break
ing every thing in the remaining part from
thence, following the stove pipe, it proceed
cd to the stove standing in the middle of the
room, which it broke in pieces, and descend
ing to the floor, tore up and shivered a
large board and passed out under the house.
A young lady, the InstructIess, and several
children who were present, were struck
down by the shock, and for some time re-
NAMED senseless but by timely assistance
however, afforded by those who were near,
they revived. The Instructress, we under
stand was the only one who sustained much
injury-she having received several severe
Commissions on the head, from the flying
pieces Of brick and splinters. A boy, son
of Timothy Foster, Esq, who was standing
in the door, had a part of one of his shoes
torn from his foot, and much burnt. He
however, sustained no material injury.
Those who first witnessed the scene, des-
cribe it as calculated to awaken feelings of
the deepest awe, as well as a lively sense
Of the protecting care OF Him "who rides
upon the whirlwind and directs the storm"

HAIL STORMS. On the 18th of June in
slant, after two days of successive heat, a
shower Of rain fell at Georgetown, rs. Cl
and continued about half an hour, accompa-
MED by high wind, heavy rain and thun-
der and tightening. Never before, says the
editor Of the Harvest, have we seen hail
stones OF such dimensions. Many which
fell before our eyes may without exaggera-
ton be compared in circumference with the
egg of pullet; but they presented every
variety of shape. The ground was made
perfectly white.
A letter from cambridge county, Geor-
gia, dated May IS, gives the following des
cription Of violent hail storm in that re-
gion:-
On Wednesday last, I experienced the
most dreadful storm of rain and hail that
perhaps has ev+ been witnessed in this or
any country. The Judge and several of the
Bar including myself were met by the rain
between this and Flint River. On the day
after it fell, we visited Mr.. Gamers, who re-
sides between four and five miles off The
Ice was lying in enormous heaps, to the
depth Of two feet or more in some places.
For two days thereafter, in an open field.
entirely exposed to the sun, it was found
from twelve to eighteen inches deep. |
have for two days past been at MIR. Gamers !;
during each day the Mercury stood at up
wards Of 80 Fahrenheit, and this evening,
as | came on to this place, in company with
several gentlemen, we collected several
pocket handkerchiefs full, and put in my
sulkey, and brought the ice to this place,
where we are now enjoying ice punch, ice
cream, &c. on summer day. | have no
doubt from its present appearance, that it
will remain in large quantities for some
days, unless there should fall heavy rain.
Some of the beasts Of the field were killed
by it. saw bushes an inch in diameter
broken down. Fortunately it was of small
extent. If were to say that some of the
pieces Of ice would have measured six inch
es in circumference, DO not know that it
would exceed the truth.

CAPE HORN-BATTIE WITH THE

ARRAY with the Indians at the Hermit Is

Indians GENE along eide in canoes, tour or
five OF whom came on board, and soon be.
gan to steel come triAiDg articles On
seeing this, Capt Nash endeavored, by
peaceable means to induce them 10 desist
Finding peseesble measures OF no avail,
lie drove the m from the vessel by force.
The Andians then returned to the shore, nj
the same time threatening vengeance. In
the course Of al hour or tw o, seven canoes,
eoch con tsinlng eight Indians, armed with
bows and arrows, spears, sings, and stones,
left the shore, and sppIoached TO within a.
bout 80 yards Of the schooner, when they
placed themselves in u line, with a chiei
IN the centre and on each wing, and pre-
psred for battle. In the meantime, the
people on board had armed themselves
with muskets, and prepared TO defend
themselves After q silence Of about ten
minutes, the chief gave the sig gnal, end the
attack was commenced. Captain NASH,
aud his men btgan firing, and ten rounds
ere fred by each man, before the ass all
ants were lepulsed. Fortunately, no in.

while Capt. Nash thinks he mist have kill

the canoes landed large tody OF Indians
made then appearance, who bad been { on
cealed near tie shore. II he whole noa

Young CnlCriis.- We understand there
are now IN jail, in this town, Ealf dozen
or more Of young lads for tie crime oi pet

to respectable families, whose parents
would be the last 10 counteDsnce their
children in acts of stealing. While We
feel no disposition 10 Falliate the dishon-
esty OF these young tIansgressors should
not be spared--we mean the unprincipled
persons who Will buy What the boys steel.
Meu who will traffic with boys for old IcS,
copper, and every other article that cen be
purloined, without requiring evidence that
those things were honestly obtained, de-
serve, IN our estimation, Imprisonment nj
more than inconsiderate children; for as
long as boys cap find ready market foI
stolen goods, thefts will be committed.
