PoRrLAnp. Oct. 3. 1850.

The Sophia, of this port, fell in, on
the Sd ult., latitude SO, lon. 25, with
the brig Johanna, Capt. Johnson,
from Charleston, S. c., bound for
Bremen. She was in disabled con-
dition, had five feet of water in her
hold, and was leaking at the rate Of
an inch minute.
The Sophia took off the captain
and crew, while the mate, John
Clarke, of Calais, Me-, and French
seaman were drowned.
The mate and seaman lost be-
longed TO the Sophia, and not TO the
Johanna.
The Johanna belonged to Stock
holm, and was bound from Charles
ton, S. c., to Boremen, with cargo
Of pitch pine timber and spirits OF
turpentine. Nothing was saved but
what the crew stood in. Captain
Johnson had placed his chronometer
and the briggs papers in the small
boat, but on reaching the barque the
boat was upset, and thus the last ves-
tige Of the unfortunate vessel was
swept away.

WHAT SORT OF A WINTER WE ARE
TO HAvE.-The Alexandria Gazst!e
says
We have heard, through a scien-
tiic friend, that he has recently sx-
amined a record of the weather
which has been uninterruptedly kept
through several generations, for the
past three hundred years, and that he
finds that as are the first three days
prior to the autumnal equinoxes, so
are the autumn and winter which
follows: That if these days be mild
and pleasant, there has always been
a mild and pleasant winter; if, on the
other hand, the three days prece-
ding, be cold and clustering, so will
be the autumn and winter that sue
ceed. Our attention has been more
particularly drawn to this theory
from the remarkably fine weather
succeeding the hail storm which re-
Gently passed over this section Of

FREAKS OF THE LIGHTNING.-The
heavy thunder storm which visited
this city last evening, was very Sc

some of the most singular results ev-
er noticed in this vicinity. The
flashed iaintiy about 2 o.
clock, and gradually increased in
frequency and vividness, accompan-
led by thunder and torrents Of rain
till about s O'Clock, when the heav-
ems seemed almost TO explode with a
report which was felt in various
parts of the city. The spire of the
South Baptist Church in Kinney
street, which was unprotected by a
rod, was struck, shivering the tim
bers at the top, tearing off part Of
the outside tin covering, and irag-
ments OF both were carried 10 a con-
siderable distance. The choir were
practising in the church at the time,
aud several Of the members were
momentarily stunned. A nail box
and tools which had been left in the
spire by the workmen, were torn to
pieces, the nails being scattered in ev-
cry direction.
A lady sitting at window in Cot
tage street, we are told, had her
hand paralyzed and contracted by
the same shock, so that it was near
ly closed.
Three workmen in a blacksmith S
shop, temporarily erected on the hill
for preparing the iron work Of the
