great beauty of this art. 1t was drawn

to be an ornament to the profession. A

been established in Boston under his direc-

degree of encouragement adequate to its
merits, and enable the proprretors, (Messrs.

and T. Edwards, portrait painter) to proceed
in their praiseworthy endeavours to place
upon higher footing this branch of the fine

FOR THE LANCASTER GAZETTE.

FOURTH OF July IN LANCASTER The
sun flashed proudly from his couch of hills,
and the day was greeted by the loud roar of
the Nashaway. People got up. The fire of
independence flew not from every eye, its
accents fell not from every tongue. Deaf
ening peals of artillery, the merry chime of
bells, proud and cheerful gratulations on the
occasion-nobody heard. A procession of
citizens and strangers of distinction, escort
ed by the Lancaster Infantry, moved not, as
any body knows Of under a salute of TWEEN
ty-four guns, from Fitch's to the church,
where highly patriotick and eloquent ora
ton did not happen to be delivered. Anel-
egant and graceful drapery of oak leaves
and roses, arraying the Doric pillars and
the gallery of the meeting house, would
have reflected great honour on any ladies'.
At the table, though more than five
hundred sat down, yet every one felt him
self at home. The day took leave in flood
of tears, whether of shame or exultation did
not fully appear.
Fifty years ago the husband and the son
were drafted, one after another, into the
army, and the wife and the daughter, with
rake and hoe, were obliged to take their pla-
ces in the field. News would come that
such an one had been shot down, and the
town would be in mourning deeper shade
of anxiety would come over the counte-
nances of all, tinged as they were before
with doubt and trouble, and yet lighted up
with patriotism. Now came orders for a
new levy more men must be raised by the
town; meetings are held and the money
voted to defray the expense, till one de-
mand coming upon another, one dollar 60
ing after another, even to the utmost farth-
ing" the people in town meeting actually
resolved that they could not answer the re-
QUESTION of one more man; though at a sub
sequent meeting, after convulsiye efforts, the
vote was reconsidered and the man furnish
ed. This is all history. We have amongst
us eye and ear witnesses of the facts, of the
alarm and distress then existing from state
bankruptcy, individual poverty, and family
wretchedness, as well as of the bold and no

THE LATE THUNDER STORMS. The
s-~r----. md .aesuf S.etiye tbnsaaor eho,rers
which have been experienced in this neigh
bourhood, within two or three weeks, have
been very extensively felt. On our first
page will be found an account of the effects
of the storm of Saturday, the 29th ult., in
Salem, and vicinity, where it appears to
have been most severely felt. We learn
that at Shirley and Groton the storm of
Sunday, of last week, which was but slight
here, was very severe. A barn belonging
to Mr.. Dodge, in Groton, was struck, and,
with several tons Of hay which it contained,
entirely consumed. Two or three COWS
were also struck and killed in Groton; and
several trees we're shattered to pieces.
Several persons were struck by lightning in
New-York on the same day. We learn
also that during one of the late showers.
three of the horses Of one of the stages be-
tween Westminster and this town, on the
Brattleboro' line, were struck down by the
lightning, but received no material damage.
Two horses in . carriage, at funeral in
Fitchburg, werestruck down, but not injured.
A barn in Ashby, belonging to Mr.. Job Da-
Wis, was strucl by lightning during the
storm of Saturday, and burnt, with all its
contents. Loss estimated at $50 dollars.
During the same shower a boy was struck
senseless at Townsend, but soon recovered.
In addition to the facts stated in our last.
of damage done in this county, by lightning,
the Worcester Spy mentions that four cattle
were killed in Paxton, two in Berlin, and an
OK in Leicester; and that a young lady in
I-oiovstvr was struck down, but sustained
little injury from the effects of the shock.
The Dover IN. h. Republican states that
the meeting-houses at Westbrook, Me-, and
Newmarket, N. H., have been struck by
lightning, but not essentially damaged.
Also, barn in S. Berwick, and barn in
Scarboro, Me-, were burnt, with about seven
tons of hay twenty sheep killed in Stratham,
N. H., and team of four oxen in Strafford
A man was killed by lightning in Wells on
Tuesday last.
In fne-we scarcely open paper which
does not contain accounts of more or less
damage by the late storms, which for fire.
quency and violence, are almost without a
precedent. Much hay will be necessarily
injured in making.

PoLITIcKs IN VERMONT. The important
election of President of the United States is
near at hand and the partisans of the two
candidates which now divide the nation are
on the alert, to advance, "by all fair and
honorable means,'' Ito use caucus phrasel
the cause of their party. The zeal of party
has seldom been greater than it is at this
time though it is said there are now no
parties-all being republicans, all federal
lists. In this State, in New England indeed,
there is no question as to the result of the
election, so far as the votes of these States
go. Still the movements of the two great
parties, even here, are matters of deep in
terest. With a party who profess to have
the best interests of the nation at heart,
however powerful they may be in numbers,
there is no excuse for lukewarmness and
neglect.
A meeting of friends to the present Pres
ident has lately been held in Montpelier,
Vermont, composed of the members of tie
convention held there for considering certain
proposed amendments to the constitution Of
the State. The Boston Daily Advertiser
states that
"Leave had been obtained from the superintend-
ent, by the friends of the administration for them to
hold the meeting in the House. But the
Jackson members of the convention took possession
of the house soon as the convention was adjourn
ed, and prolonged their meeting to late an hour
to find another place of meeting. They repaired to
the Court House. but finding it too small to accom-
odate them, they were obliged to proceed to the
Westinghouse. The names of the delegates, 229
in number, were then called, and twas found that
ITO friends Of the administration were present"
Thus the friends Of the military candidate
completely stole march upon their oppo-
