TERRIBLE FIRE ON LONG BLAND
There has been a tremendous fire on Long
Island. 1t commenced at 10 o'clock on
Sunday, ran about six miles, and would
reach the South Turnpike, about two
miles west of Babylon village.
1t is said 10 be the most destructive fire
which has occurred for many years. 1t
started nearIy two miles away from the
railroad, and the fact that no trains run on
Sunday. tends 10 exonerate the company
in this case.
1t has burnt over the lands Of Plat Ca
rel, Mr.. Fleet. Doctor earle, and many
others. 1t began in the town Of Hamburg
Suffolk county, and escaped from a coal
pit, in charge Of and owned by Daniel
Bedle.
We learn that over three thousand acres
Of woodland have been destroyed.

LIGHTNING CONDUCTORS.

"a way for the Lightning of the Thunder"
We have a common illustration of heat
upon polished surfaces, in the use of bright
tin 10 shield wood work from the heat OF
stoves; il one Of these bright surfaces is
passed over with paint by a brush, that
particular portion will at once absorb heat
when in con,ac: with a heated atmosphere.
This is an illustration which is brought
home to every persons experience, in high
northern lalitudes.
l shall not, now, discuss the material Of
lightning, or say tits a fluid, or what
o.her matter. 1t is ETHEREAL fire from the
great laboratory Of Nature, created BY the
Almighty. We See it sometimes in ball
Of fire, at others IN the fash OF fame, and
then that which is the most common, the
zig gag crinkled stream Of fire.
Thirty-three centuries ago, the pen>
man Of the Book Of Job, whose extensive
knowledge of natural things are evidenced
by The language of that sacred poem, in
speaking Of the works of the Almighty,
says: He made a way for The lightning
@Me Thunder" In the ignorance ofthe
dark ages, knowledge has been entombed,
and when we regain it, we are apt to con
slider it as original with ourselves, while
in reality it is Blu! the. resurrection of the

the Almighty "has made a way for the

a man and woman were travelling in a

disguised as Indians, and demanded the
money from the man in The wagon. This
was at first refused, when, on being
further threatened, he threw out some
change. AT this, one of the highway
men threatened 10 take his life if he did
not deliver his pocket.book. This was

were ordered TO face abou, and return

A SORRY JOKE. The Democrats Of
Connecticut are in something Of a bother
concerning the Stale Senator OF the llth
district. It appears that The Democratic
nominee was George Ferry, Jr., but by
some mistake the ballots were printed
without the junior, and George Ferry, the
father OF The candidate was elected. The
old gentleman is a good Wing, and if he
takes his scat even temporarily, which We
presume he will not do, there will be a
Whig majority in the Senate. But il he
does no. there will be a lie, in which case,
the present Lieutenant Governor has the
casting vote, aud must decide the election
of officers at the organization. Any way
i, is a funny fE for The Democrats, and
We don't see as any body but themselves
are to blame for t.-M@ss. Spy.

Abolition ofCapitaI Punishment.

Public sentiment in several OF the Northern
States in which the subject has been extensively
agitated and deliberately discussed, by the most
distinguished gentlemen, seems To be rapidly tend
ing To- the conclusion, Ohe offspring, it seems to
Us. OF spurious philanthropy that capital pun
ishment ought to Ice in all cases abolished. That
IT has been Inefficient in preventing the perpc-
traton of those crimes for which 1t is inflicted, is
unfortunately too true; but we do not see the
force of the deduction. that it ought therefore to
be dispensed with altogether-since the same
mode of reasoning would lead to the abolition of
all punishment. The recent acquittal of Tyrrel
in Boston. which is ascrlbed in some degree to the
rapidly increasing popular belief that even the
sanction of law does not Justify juror in inlcting
the death penalty, seems TO have given fresh i'm
pulse To the movements ofthe " Phanthrops's -
since. il is argued, ii luries will not convict in
cases of clearly ascertained guilt, when the penal
ty is death, the safety of society requires rather
than that a criminal should go entirely "unwhpt
of Justice, " that milder punishment shall be in
fllcted. And 1t must be confessed that this argu-
ment is not altogether destitute of force.
As some indication of the prevalence of the
opinion to which we nave referred in some of the
Northern States, we may refer to the fact that in
the New Jersey Legislature, bill for the abolition
of capital punishment has been recently defeat
ed by only two votes that bill for the same oh.
jcct is now pending before the Legislature Of New
York and that in the Massachusetts House of
Representative. few days ago, bill was re-
jected, after long and earnest debate, changing
the punishment for arson from death to lmprison.
mcnt for life.
Among the prominent individuals who have
taken an active part in favor of the abolition of
capital punishment are the Nce.P President, Mr.
| Dallas, and John q. Adams.
