Melancholy Eren,.-Yesterday afternoon
at about ? o'clock, just AT the commence
ment of the heavy shower, the lightning
struck on Thompson's Island, and killed
one of the boys belonging to the Farm
School, about tweve years old, named Ben
jamin Franklin Mead, mot Brown as sta
ted in some of the morning papers,) and
considerably injured another, Charles Da-
venport.-Several boys were in the field as
the shower came up, and fled for shelter
a moment after which, Davenport was seen
at distance with his arms extended, and
turning round in singular manner. He
was led into the house, but his mental fac
uties seemed paraly wns complete
~ bewidered-but no marks of injury were
visible on his person. IL was then conjec-
tured that he might have been injured by
lightning-ihere having been bright flash
hut a few moments before, which led to a
search, and resulted in finding the unior:u-
nate Mead dead in the field, his clothes al
most entirely stripped from his person, and
his whole frame exhibiting traces of the e.
leciric fluid. Medical aid was soon obtain
ed for Davenport, and he was quite recov-
cred from the effects of the lightning.

A Tin Boat.-Some younkers of this
city have built nea, pleasure boat, capa.
Bile of containing four persons sconvenienlly,
the material of which being sheets Of tin.
The keel and PROV of the boat, and the ribs
are of wood. The rowlochs are nicely in
laid with brass there is lgh, mast car
rying sail, and every apparatus is Of the
neslest construction, with brass pulleys, and
all things complete. The boat is so buoy
ant, that it is necessary 10 ballast it with
shifting weights, and we fear, that unless
great care is used, it will some day or 9TH
er capslzc and cool the courage of the nav
igators, by plunge into the river. IL is So
light, that two youths can carry it with per-
feet ease.-Lineoln Gazette.

NOVEL SIGHT.-Yesterday, the Elephant
attached 10 the Mensgerie of Mr.. Hobby.
which has been exhibited here for several
days past. not feeling disposed To trust his
person on board the ferry boa, plying be-
tween Norfolk and Portsmouth, resolutely
refused to bulge from the wharf, and bade
defiance to the thrents and repelled the
coaxings of his master. 1t was at last de-
termined to conduct him TO the waters
edge near Town Point, and let him work
his own passage in the water, which he did
in very handsome and businessslike style.
A boat accompanied him, not to pick him
up, as was the design Of the one that at
tended Byron in his swim from Ses,os to
Abydos, or the late aquatics at Brooklyn,
but merely TO guide his motions in the wn-
ter. l, is well for his eburnean majesty
that the Explorers have dropped down, or
else they might have taken him for H strange
craft. While swimming, his long snout pro-
truding out of the water, his motions resem-
bed those of porpoise. Refreshed by his
bath, and in good spirits, be landed safely
on the Portsmouth side.--Norfolk Beacon.

4 WESTERN MoNsrER.-The famed Sea
Serpent OF the Atlantic has not, as hereto
fore, been rusticating off Nahant this sea-
son. The lovers of marvel have not there
fore been set agape, as usual by the won-
dehul stories respecting that father of
snakes.
Blu, we have tidings of Western Ser
pen,, which will supply measurably, the
place of his mammoth prototype. Ii is
termed " The Monster of Devil Lake" 4
correspondent of the Logansport, (Ia.) Tel
egraph says 1t was discovered by some men
of the name of Robinson, in small lake,
about two miles in length, and one half
mile in breadth, and of unknown depth, in
the vicinity of Rochester, in that State.
The serpent is said to be sirty feet in length.
One person, Mr.. Lindsay who saw the an-
imal, describes the head as being " three
feet across the frontal bone, and having
something of the contour of beeFs head
bu, the neck tspering and having the char
acter of the serpent, color dingy, with large
bright yellow spots" The Indians who
live in the vicinity of the lake never ven-
ture upon it for the purpose of fishing or
bathing. They have long known it by the
name Of" Lake Man-i-too," or Devil Lake
on account of the serpent, or Man-i-too
fdcvil1 as they call it, that lives in il.

A SIEGE AND BArTLE.-A row occur
red on Saturday afternoon in South street,
The cause of which or any particulars 'rcla-

this article, we were unable TO obtain.
Two partners in large ship chandlery es-
tablishment it would seem had some serious
quarrel, which resulted in one Of them
ejectng from or refusing to admit the other
in the premises. The elected and the
ejector each called to his assistance a corps
of sailors and stevedores, and forthwith
IA rush was made Ivy the army under the
command Of the partner outside upon the
garrison manned by the inside and his sup
porters. The attack was made and re-
ceived with equal vigor. The cries Of both
parties, soon h.nmsh; large concourse of
people to the field of battle, and it being
feared that something serious might occur,
the mayor was sent for. His honor, accom-.
panied by body Of the police and a num-
her Of citizens, was speedily on the ground
and soon succeeded in quelling the riot
Some of the parties were severely injured,
and there were numerous broken heads
and black eyes.-N y. Times.

No Joy for Mr.. Loreioy.-lt has been
stated that Mr.. Lovejoy, of'Gcorsia, was of
the passengers saved in the late catastrophe
Of The Pulaski, was also on board the Home
and the VIM. Gibbons-three of The most
appalling situations of danger ever recorded.
Ii is now stated that while the canal
packet was proceeding from Buffalo TO
Rochester, and when near Brockpot, by
some untoward accident the boat upset. 1t
was an early hour in the morning, and the
passengers were all "on the shelves" and
all thrown off into the water, where they
lay pellmell. The only means for making
their escape was by breaking the upper side
windows, and drawing up The passengers
one by one. This was done, and all es-
capped personal injury. One of the passen-
gers was Mr.. Lovejoy.
Those persons who are compelled to
travel by water would do well to examine
the way bill in future, in order to see if Mr..
Lovejoy's name is on ii.

Stopping a Horse.--The manner in
which catastrophe, that might have been
fatal, was prevented last Saturday by ready
presence of mind, deserves to he mentioned
for hint in like dangerous situations.
4 young horse, in carrynll ia which
were two gentlemen, took fright near State
street OH Saturday and ran through Con-
gress-street with great violence. One Of
the gentlemen Jumped out at the first start,
and escaped with an injury to his knee.
The next instant the reins broke on both
sides in the hands of the driver, and the
horse plunging forward, was going directly
upon the stone building at'lhe corner of
Congress, across Milk-street which must
have dashed every thing to pieces. AT this
moment the person in the carriage leaped
upon the back of the horse seized the check
rein, guided him from the building he wa.
running upon, and brought him quietly to,
without the least injury, just below Milk
street. Had he studied all his life the prop
er course To pursue in such an emergency,
he could not have hit upon better, and il
is worth remembering as safe expedeui
in like difficulties. The gentleman was

LYNCH LAW AGAIN The wretch Lee,
who inhunauly abused his wife at New
Orleans, in manner too shocking TO relate
and was convicted and sentenced to two
years imprisonment, was seized on his arri-
val at Baton Rouge, on The Both uIt., res
cued from the guard who had him in custo-
dy, and punishment inflicted on his per-
son more severe than he could have posi-
bly, imagined. While the New Orleans
Picayune relates the incident, it condemns
the triumph Of popular violence over law.

The following Receip, for making tea, we
copy from McKenzie's Universal Receipt
Book" the novelty of boy hay tea, may
induce some one to Try it.
The infusion of good well made mendow
hay in boiling water, in the manner Of tea,
about three quarters of nm ounce for two OF
three persons, is n beverage for the break
fasting and evening rejection, as much su.
perior to be dried leaves Of China, as gold
and silver are superior to copper and lead.
This native tea is as heulthful as it is
grateful to the palate; it is sarcharlue aud
aromatic, instead Of bitter, stimulating to
the spirits in the morning, and composing
the nerves at night, promotes digestion and
increases the appetite.

TIE DRoUGHr.-The Black stone river is
said to be lower at the present time than i,
has been in number of years, No con-
siderable rain has fallen in our vicinity for
about two months. Some parts of the ma
chinery of our mills have been still for sew
eral weeks--and if there is not rain soon,
the w..ole of our population will be out of
manufacturing employment. The crop of
corn and potatoes, aud the gardens are
nearly ruined. Corn must come in extreme
" light-the leaves have been rolled up in
4 parched state for weeks. Potatoes, cs-
pecially those planted late, must be of the
small kind and few in hill. A neighbor
who planted his potatoes in June was last
week digging them up--they having not so
much as sprouted. We learn by our ex-
chauge papers that the drought exists in
many places-but as a general thing, at
the west and south, the crops will be, and
are better than an average. This 10 good
uews-although we may meet with scare
ity of the good things of life at home, it
may be pleasant to know there is " plenty
