THE MISSING STEAMER CALEDONIA.

The steamer Unicorn which was to return imme-
dialely Boston from Halifax if the Caledonia had
arrived, had not made her appearance in the latter
port as late az Monday evening, from which it was
inferred that she had proceeded to Liverpool. We
greatly fear that the Caledonia has shared the fate
the PIesdent-though there are still many chances
That she returned to Liverpool put into the Azores
where is depot OF coal for the Atlantic steamers
But in either she ought to DO at Boston ere this
1t being 80 days since the date of her departure
from Liverpool if she sailed on her regular day

FOR THE MADIsONIAN.


Ma. EDToR saw notice. short time since, of
Professor Espys lecture the philosophy of storms.
am not acquainted with Mr.. Espy or his theory and
Of course, cannot form estimate of its value
have no. heard Of his having made any expert
ments to produce rain but if rain be produced by
artificial means (of which have doubt) it is time
it should be known and put in practice.
From series of observations, long since came to
the conclusion that it could be made to lain by the
firing of at several contiguous points In the
month of October, 1925, arrived at Buffalo, New
York the day unusually pleasant; there were
frequent and heavy discharges ofcannon in commem-
Grafton of the meeting of the waters Of Lake Erie
and the Hudson. At different intermediate places,
the whole length of the Canal cannon had been dis.
charged at intervals during the day. At about 4
o'clock, P. M, storm suddenly gathered and the
rain fell in torrents and continued until the following
day. observed, my fellow-traveer that the burn
ing Of powder evidently had much influence in pro
ducing the have noticed since that on every
fourth of July, when the day generally celebrated
by discharges of cannon that it either rained on thai
| or tho day following.
On the fourth Of July, about four years since, il
commenced raining about l, P. NJ and after the dis
charge of each heavy the rain would sudden
ly increase quantity and violence frequently
see it after heavy peal Of thunder. On the fourth
Of July, l64O, at celebration at which attended,
cannon were discharged at two points, and were
mostly fred between the hours of and P. M
About half past FOUR there came up shower in the
io.no>iiato vicinity, which did not probably extend
ten miles in any direction. There was much can
nonadng from the 18th to the l7th Of Move mber
1888, in the vicinity Of Ogdensburg, New York, at
the battle of the "Wind Mill" between the British
and Canadian Patriots. / think it rained 3 out
of days conversed with gentleman who was
the battle of Fort Erie, in the war of 1872 who
informed that there more or less cannon aiding
for weeks and that rained thirteen days in sue
cession.
If the burning of powder will produce rain or if
Professor Espy has better way, it will doubtless be
good policy to make effort to remedy every con-
tinued drought Central and eastern New York suf
ered more the past in short crops for want Of
rain than the value of all the powder in America.
OF the fact that the discharge Of cannon will pro-
duce rain have no doubt; of the reasons, not
SO certain; but suppose that the vibration caused by
tho explosion condenses the vapor in the atmosphere
and when it arrives at certain density, it of course
will fall. The Creator allows and requires man to
to supply his necessities in every other
spect, andwhy not means TO supply himself with
that without which, he cannot long subsist?

| HOGAN, RELEAsEp.-We are happy TO learn that
J. Sheridan Hogan, who was arrested near Lockport
on Monday OF last week, charge Of having
been concerned in the burning Of the Caroline and
the murder OF Durfee, was set free Wednesday by
Judge Ransom, on the ground of defect in the war
rant for his arrest We trust that being discharged
| he made the best of his way back to Canada. Our
accounts from Lockport are to Friday, 4th inst No
further proceedings had been instituted against him.
there was, however, another cause of popular
ment, nearly good for the time being which is thus
described IN the Rochester Post of Saturday;
"While the Hogan affair was under examination
in that place, Lockp it suddenly discovered
that the Roman Catholic Pastor of Lock port (the Rev.
Mr.. Cosello) had actually been married secretly last
September! contrary to the canons of the church.
The lady whose marriage with the clergyman occa-
stoned the difficulty, is said have been Miss Mary
A. Jeffries. The knowledge of their union
have been suddenly made known suspected on the
Sd inst. The fact of the marriage, we are in
formed, was not denied when charged the reverend
gentleman.
On Friday morning, hear farther, a large
number of persons belonging to his church surround
ed the dwelling of the Rev. MIR. Costello, and de-
manded the money in his possession, which was al
legged to belong to the society. Mr.. CASTILLO then
sent for the sheriff. and delivered the funds-sad to
be about $4,0O0-ior deposite in bank
After depositing the money, the sheriff returned to
the house Of Mr. Costello and remained in it to pro-
tect person and property against any violence that
might be offered by any of the indignant throng'
The proceedings in the case OF Hogan thus
stated in the Niagara CLockporD Courier of We'd
nesday:
"Hogan passed through this place few days since,
his way to Rochester, and on his return last Mon
day, information having been received that he was
engaged in the Schlosser outrage he arrested at
late hour in the night and committed to jail for ex-
animation. Yesterday afternoon he was brought up
before Justice Leonard, with Lot Clark and H. Gard
ner, Esqs., for cousel. Dist Attorney Wood acting
for the people-the courtroom being crowded almost
to sufocation with anxious spectators. A motion
to discharge the prisoner, on the ground Of informal
ty in the warrant of arrest, was ably argued till
late hour in the afternoon, when the legality of the
warrant being sustained the court adjourned till to-
day at 10 O'Clock A. M.
Before the examination was resumed this morning,
the prisoner taken out of the hands of the mag-
trate and carried before Judge Ransom, by whom ho
set free, on tie ground OF insuthciency OF the
warrant arrest, NOW outstanding there was suffl-
cient evidence, informed on the best autho-
rity have detained hum fgr trial. had it not been for
the defect in the warrant"
