During the heavy thunderstorm on Sunday
afternoon the electric fluid descended on the
German Lutheran Church Isl. Paul, in Phil
adelphia, and set it on fire. All the wood work
was destroyed together with two organs, the
bells and clock. The Church was erected al
cost of $4,000; insured for $1,000. The
congregation were dismissed only about fifteen
minutes previous TO the occurrence.
The Rubber Factory in Roxbury, Mass. was
struck by lightning on Thursday, set on hre'

THE LoursvrLLu MYSTERY.

We have at last found out the secret (says
the Cincinnati Herald } of the mysterious lady
who was the cause OF so much speculation at
Louisville. On Wednesday, as we were in-
formed by respectable authority, drayman
on Main street, near Sixth, was accosted by
young gentleman, who asked him il he knew
where certain person lived. mentioning the
name of the keeper OF the house OF i'll fame
The drayman said thathe did. Whereupon the
Young gentleman offered him five dollars il he
would show him the house. He did so, and
on arriving was requested by the gentleman
10 walk with him up stairs, which he did
When up stairs, the stranger asked for Mary
-. She came down, when he announ-
ced himself as her brother, whom she had not
seen for years. Quite q talk ensued, when
Mary asked for her sister and family. The
supposed young gentleman announced him
self the sister. and, opening his vest, proved
It, Thereupon ensued tears, showing world
of natural affection, which was TOO real for
doubling. The couple then went out Of the
house. and, taking the Pirtsburg packet, left
the city. The disguised sister had learned the
condition of the one here, and had assumed
this disguise that she might safely gain admis-
sion, and induce her 10 leave. She took the
drayman with her that she might run no risk
OF personal danger.
What more touching illustration could be
furnished Of sisters love2

Mr.. Editor We beg leave through your
columns, to ask in all Difference, whether the
Court which determined to purchase farm
upon which to support the poor, and at the
time appropriated the unexpended money on
hand after building the Bridge at the mouth Of
the Opequon, as a beginning fund FOR that
wise purpose, intend TO permit minority Of
the Court who ordered at the late July term,
that 500 of that fund should be borrowed and
expended in making another road on the West
side ofthe North Mountain, for the accommo-
dation Of few citizens, (when even some oil
those that are 10 be benefited by it, are oppo-
sed to its construction thereby to defeat the
wishes of large majority Of the citizens OF
the County, in having farm purchased Tor
the poor, TO relieve them from the onerous tax
which they have been paying for their support
for the last half century-if so, we opine the
people (the tax paying community will not

some action TO be taken by majority OF The

sed by the late Court, in diverting from so

sustained by the Indians il was impossible TO
ascertain, as they carried of the killed and
wounded 1t is said that there are some
Northern Mexcans with these Camanches--
Be this as il may, il is evident that their whole
object is 10 cut of trains and destroy United

FROM THE N. o. PncAYusE or JULY Is.
LATE FROM VERA CRUZ.

The steamship Galveston. Capt Haviland,
arrived yesterday from Vera Cruz, touching at
Tampico and the Brazos She left Vera Cruz
at 2 O'Clock on the afternoon of the 9Th inst,
Tampico on the afternoon Of the 10Th, and
Brazos Santiago on the evening OF the llth.---
She arrived at the S. w. Pass on the night of
the 18th, having made a very 6ne run.
The Galveston broughtno later news direct
from the army OF Gen. Scott, for there had been
no further arrival Of couriers at Vera Cruz
We learn nothing more OF The march OF Gen,
Pillow, and remain still in the dark as to his
position. The Palmetto left Vera Cruz short
" after the Galveston, and arrived al Tampl-
co on the 10Th She may shortly be expected,
and possibly may bring later news.
From Tampico we have some verbal intel
igence not without interest The American
prisoners had not arrived there, but were at a
place about colleagues distant--probably Hue
jufla. On the 9Th inst. Colone De Russy, OF
the Louisiana regiment, left Tampico, at the
head Of about two hundred men, intending to
proceed to the relief Of the prisoners.
He took with him small force Of The regu-
lar artillery, portion of his own regiment and
some of the mounted men Of Tampico--a ser.
viceable description Of force raised in the town.
Ii is more than probable that the Colonel will
nave DfuSn Win the enemy before ne Sets
back. There are said to be pretty strong par
ties of guerilas on the route to be followed.
Our accounts Of the health OF Tampico, and
especially Of the Louisiana regiment, are more
favorable. The number OF men on the sick
list has rapidly decreased, but the remaining
cases are somewhat more severe. They are
mostly cases Of intermittent fever; few cases
of bilious fever have occurred, some Of Them
terminating fatally. There is very little yell
low fever in the town, and the cases have been
confined to the civil hospital. The fevers
which prevail are becoming more malignant
as the season advances.
From file ofthe Sun of Anahuac, publish,
ed at Vera Cruz. we have few items Of intel
ligence The night of the 7th inst fight oc-
CURED in Vera Cruz between two Mexicans,
in which one stabbed the other so severely that
he died Instantly. No names are given. i
The U. S. Schooner Flrt went up from the
naval anchorage TO Vera Cruz on the 9Th inst.
and returned the next day. The object Of the
movement was not known
Capt. Mayo Of the navy and Governor of
Alvarodo having received intelligence that Fa-
Their Jarauta was in the vicinity and designed
to surprise and take Alvarado, went off in pur-
suit of him at the head of one hundred and fif-
ty men, proceeding up the river. Atlast dates
the EXPEDITION had not returned to Alvarado,
nor had any accounts been received from 1t.

An Enemv,s Courtesy,

When the Crusaders, under King
Richard of England, defeated the Sar-
acens, the Sultan, seeing his troops fly,
asked what was the number of the
Christians who were making all this
slaughter? He was told that it was on
ly King Richard and his men, and that
they were all on foot. "Then,' said
the Sultan, GOOD forbid that such a
noble fellow as King Richard should
march on foot" and sent him a noble
charger. The messenger took it, and
said, Sire, the Sultan sends you this
charger, that you may not be on foot"
The king was as cunning as his enemy,
and ordered one of his squires to mount
the horse in order TO try him. The
squire obeyed; but the animal proved
fiery; and the squire being unable to
hold him in, he set off at full speed to
the Sultan's pavilion The Sultan ex,
pected he had got King Richard, and
was not a little mortified to discover his
mistake.

The Farmers Greed.

We believe in small farms and thor.
ougl cultivation. The soil loves to eat
as well as its owner, and ought therefore
to be nurtured.
We believe in large crops, which leave
the land better than they found tina.
king both the farm and the farmer rict
at once.
We believe in going to the bottom o.
things, and therefore in deep ploughng
and enough of tall the better if with
subsoil plough.
We believe that the best fertility Of
any soil is the spirit of industry, enter
prise and intelligence; without this,
lime and gypsum, bones and green ma
nure, mari, or plaster will be of little use.
We believe in good fences, good
barns, good farm houses, good stock,
and good orchards.
We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat
wife in it, spinning piano, clean cup
board, dairy and conscience.
We firmly disbeleve in farmers that
will not improve in farms that grow
poor every year; in starved cattle; in
farmers boys turning into clerks and
merchants; in farmers daughters I'M
willing TO work; and in all farmers who
are ashamed of their vocation.

Clerical Joke,

A minister was once invited 10 preach
in a house recently built, where the con-
gregation were noted for their somnif-
erous propensties. He commenced the
service in the usual manner and pro-
ceeded to deliver his sermon. According
to custom the good people disposed Of
themselves to rest, and in a short time
the preacher was saluted with a variety
of descendants issuing from the nasal or
gans Of the drowsy sinners. He stop
ped suddenly and surveyed the scene
before him. The audience aroused
themselves from their unsoemingly atti
tude, and stared inquiringly at the ven
cradle man.
"I have,' said he, been admiring
the fair proportions of your new house,
and have but one fault to find"
And what is that :" exclaimed a
man whose pride for the new fabric
would acknowledge no bIemish.
Why" replied the preacher, in a
tone of irony, "I perceive you retain
the old steeperS."
