was visited bya thunder storm, accompanied by con-
siderable rain and wind, and in the vicinity there
hail. The lightning struck the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum: passing down the water pipe of the South
ern wing of the ediice, it penetrated through the
brick wall two three etabove the ground, making
hole for its passage than the 18th of dn inch
in diameter, shattering the brick but little the

woman, when she revived and spoke, complaining OF
much pain in her legs, and appearing to be partially
deprived" Of her reason. A physician called in,

AGAIN FIELD. We have not received the
Goldsbc rough or Newberne papers, and therefore
have official information upon the subject, but
learn, from undoubted private authority. that Mr..
Sanly is again in the field the Wing candidate for
Congress in the Eighth District, being, doubt,
drawn from his retirement by the following IS wsh''
expressed in the Boston Atlas of the lh instant. In
an article upon this State, the Atlas says, there is
strong wish expressed for Mr.. S1anly to again,
but Of this have no hope. The whole country
does not contain a more honorable and high minded
man than Edward Siany, more amable and
kind hearted. We hope there yet higher honors
in store for this gallant and noble hearted of
N orth Carolina In another part of the arti-
Gle, the Atlas says: MIR. Stanly is just such d
Wing want to make up strong and triumphant
party. So that, in fact, Mr. Stanly is just the man
the Boston Alias wants to IS make up strong and
triumphant party and for whose running again it
expresses strong WISH However Mr.. Stanly might
have acted towards his friends in the Eighth District,
he could not withstand the appeal from Boston, and
now appears as the candidate OF the Alias, paper
which denounced Mr. Webster ferceIy for his speech
in the Senate, in March, 1850, in which he took
tional grounds upon parts Of the slavery qaes-
ton. How do Wing friends like their Boston
candidate, and his Free Soil endorser?
