SINGULAR EscAPE.-The Mobile Advertiser of
the 22d contains the following "During the
storm on Monday morning, the 18th inst, the
lightning struck tree in the yard of Hollywood
House, Freeman's) crushing it in an instant to
the earth, and scattering the limbs and splinters
about the yard at the moment the tree was struck
two men were walking past, about twelve feet from
lt-both were knocked down and badly stunned,
and one OF them had his shoe literally cut from his
foot-the electric fluid taking the bottom off as
neatly as if it had been cut with knife. Another
tree, about thirty feet from the one SO completely
demolished, also exhibited the peculiar mark of
electricity on the outside for some thirty feet up
the trunk, thus showing either that there were two
currents, or that the fluid passed from one to the
other, knocking down the two men and cutting off
the shoe as it passed, as they were at the moment
in direct line from one to the other twas rather
a singular freak of electricity"

The ST. LouisI Republican of the 10Th contains
the following letter.
INDEPENDENCE, May 18th, 1850.
Yesterday morning, Mr.. Smons in advance of
Mr.. Johnsons train, arrived from Santa Fe and
chihuahua. They left Santa Fe about the goth of
last month, and without much detention, made
their way here in pretty good time. Once or twice
they encountered a snow storm, but not violent
enough to injure their stock or impede their pro
gress' In company with Mr.. Johnson are Mr..
George Wethered and others, citizens of vour
place Col. Washington and command, consisting
OF about twenty men, were left at the Point Of
! rocks, getting along pretty well. Mr.. Thomas
rIournoy and mail carriers were met on the Semi
rome, near to Browns wagons Mr. Flournov yoes
out with relief for this train, which YOU know was
stopped on the Plains last fall by snow storm
- L ne news received by the present company from
Santa Fe and chihuahua, is not of very great in.
terest. The Indians between chihuahua and FL
raso are becoming more and more troublesome
every day. fnlvagas train was recently attacked
"a driver of one of the wagons killed and wagon
robbed OF contents. Quite a company from Chi
huahua, consisting of Drs, East Hereford Douglass
and others, left but little while ago for California
Expected in shortly, Messrs. Lightner, Anderson,
and other traders.
The rancho of Kit Carson and Bopes bet,veep
laos and the Moro thrown into CONSERVATION
recently, by eight Indians entering in and running
of quite number Of their stock. Carson, Boggs,
and two others, soon started in pursuit and over
took the party Of Indians " Hickories," attacked
them killed five Of the party recovered their mules
and fifty additional head.
Business was somewhat dull, but prospects
month or two in advance little more hatteripg,
American flour quite scarce and high.
Our town Is yet quite crowded with emigrants
the numbers passing through greatly exceed our
antlcipations, and from every enumeration we can
make, we are firmly of the opinion, that they are
more IN number by one third than passed through
here last spring Almost every thing they needed,
they found in abundance but have left our country
pretty bare Of provisions
The health of our town and country is pretty
good, not having had case OF cholera, except one,
an emigrant brought up on boat
