Te.or Is the continuing Of the franklns privilege 10

could gather them
During The first thunder shower, between ! and
o'clock In the afternoon, one of The double cottages
IN Van Brnt-st., owned by Henry Alexander Jr,
and occupied BY Thomas Bayard and family, named
Bennett was struck by lightning. The fluid en-
tered the chimney, and passing through the rooms o
the second story tore of the ceiling q portion oil
which fell upon Mrs. Bennett, who was IN bed
whereby She was considerably injured. Thence the
fluid passed out of the back window into the clstern

shattered Mr. Bayard's family. consisting of his
wife. five children and servant. were all stunned
by the shock but fortunately serious injuries re-
suited therefrom.
About O'Clock in the evening, during the heaviest
part Of the storm, the wife Of Mr.. John Henry. No

the entry. which rendered her inSens5lo for several
hours thereafter Dr. Bayard Was sent for ant re-
storatiyes were applied, and it Is probable She may
recover.

Ths PIaEue IN ths CANARY Islands.

The Havana correspondent OF the New Or
leans Picayune sends the following account Of
the terrible mortality prevailing at the Canary
Islands, and which is supposed to be the plague.
1t is terrific beyond measure, and the people of
Havana are fearful that it will be brought to
that city by the slave dealers:
History does not record anything SO sad as the
spectacle which the Island of Grand Canary has
presented, and still presents. The best directed
pen attempts in vain to relate SUCH misfortunes
and horRofs, and words would not be sufficient
10 depict their intensity.
The epidemic now ragged with such fury that
the inhabitants>in eonsternation abandoned the
town without caring for anything but their per-
sons, TO such an extent that they even forgot the
ties of blood. Death surprised them in the midst
OF their aight, so that the roads were covered
with corpses, over which not tear Of friendship
or Of Alial frOternal hove, was shed, because tCI
