SINGULAR DEATH BY LIGHTNING.

During a severe thunder storm which
passed over Earlville, Madison county, on
Wednesday. of last week, Mr.. Warren
Skinner, farmer of that town, while at
work in his field with young man ma
mod Ross, was struck by thunderbolt
and was instantly killed, Ross was with
in four feet of Skinner, and was prostrated
to the ground by the shock. SINNERS
clothes were torn entirely into fragments,
and thrown in different directions more
than thirty feet from where they stood, and
both his boots were entirely torn off and
thrown at least ten feet There was
scarcely shred of any part of his cloth
ing left on him. Ross lay on the ground
for an instant, not entirely insensible, and
made one or two efforts to arise before he
was able. As soon as he had sufficiently
recovered himself he spoke to Skinner two
or three times, but received no reply. He
soon ascertained that he was dead, as
blood was running from both his ears, and
there were two holes in the top of his
head.
Ross Immediately ran for help, and
Skinner was soon conveyed to his house,
which was not far distant. The agony Of
his wife on seeing him brought in. is be-
yond description. fN
A correspondent Of the Utica Observer,
says: M ~
SIT is a curious fact connected with this
sad result that there were two holes in
SINNERS head which appeared to have
been made by the electric fluid, and also
hole in the bottom oi each foot, and a
hole in the ground directly under each
foot" 81. ID
The writer Of this article personally saw
the body within a short time after the
shock. and visited the spot on which the
deceased stood at the time Of the fatal
stroke. Buffalo Republic. ~ . !,

"And be it further enacted, That where

Of fifteen years after the termination Of the

purchased by actual settlers on the follow.

tier is desirous TO purchase, for his resi-
dence eighty, or less than eighty acres, he
may enter and purchase the same at fifty
cents per acre; if he is desirous to pur.
chase quantity over eighty, and not ex.
ceeding ono hundred and sixty acres, he
may enter and purchase the same at sew.
enty-fve cents per acre; and if he desire
10 purchase quantity over one hundred
and sixty acres, and not exceeding three
hundred and twenty acres, he may pur-
chase the same at one dollar per acre;
but no settler shall purchase greater
quantity than three hundred and twenty
acres at price below the minimum Of
one dollar and quarter per acre, as now

THE PRESIDENCY.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN PHIL
ADELPHIA--The New York Heard says:
There is yet fair prospect for the organ
ization Of a National Union Party. and the
nomination OF an independent Union tick
ct for the Presidency. The following no.
tfication which we have received from
Philadelphia, goes boldly and practically
to work in calling National Union Con-
vention, to meet in said city on the first Of
August, for the independent nomination Of
Daniel Webster:
A NATIONAL UNION CONVENTION
Will be held in the city OF Philadelphia,
upon the lst day of August, 1859, for the
nomination Of Daniel Webster for the
Presidency of the United States, and a
suitable candidate for the Vice Presidency,
for the support of the Union party Of the
nation, in November next.
Delegates from ten States now hold
themselves in readiness for this step; other
States are requested to choose suitable
representatives without delay.
Friends Of the Union, and Of its grea,
champion, you are now called upon to
give evidence Of your devotion to that
cause which has enlisted the talents Of the
most eminent, and the sympathies Of .
mighty nation. Z
The immediate formation oflocal Web

commended.

1t has already been, stated that an Amer
lean fishing vessel had been seized by the
British at Magdalen Islands, but was sub:
sequently recaptured. The Halifax Sun,
of the 18th ult.. has this paragraph in rels'
ton to the seizure:
"The Americans not satisfied with in.
ringing on the provisions of the treaty, by
casting their nets side by side with the
British. resident and subject, within the
limits prescribed, perforce ofnumbers and
audacity took possession OF the fish in ths
nets of their competitors. The indignan,
residents rallied in strong force, an Ameri.
can vessel and crew were captured in way
of reprisal, and taken into harbor. The
Americans, during the night following
gathered in their strength. and triumph.
antly cut the vessel out leaving the skip

key We are not advised of the number
of broken heads and bloody noses, results
Of the affray, but it is quite certain that the
above was among the incidents Of the

o. We have on file for publication,
another and still stronger evidence Of Gen.
SCOTS hostility TO foreigners. The docu-
ment Yves first published in 1914, in the
National lnts|igencer, over the signature
of "Amercus," and was written by Gen.
Scott. The Washington Union has re-
peaiedly called upon the lntelligencer to
deny the charge that Gen. Scott is the
suthor but has yet refused SO to do.
BY this it appears that General SCOTS
plan Of 1914 for the legal treatment Of al
foreigners coming to this country WAS
81. To reduce the term Of naturaliza- /,
tfon from five years to three years.
SO. To EXCLUDE ALL, ALIENS FOREVER
FROM THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN ANY PUBLIC
ELECTIONS WHATEVER, EXCEPT
"3. Such aliens as shall have served
two years in the army or navy, who shall
thereby be entitled to the rights Of citizen
ship, including the right Of suffrage.
"a. Aliens shall be exempted from in
voluntary service in the militia, the army.
or navy, Gust as free negroes and Indi-
ans sare.
IS. The law to 60 into operation six
months after its passage" s
The principle Of this legislation pro.
posed by General Scott is thus stated by
himself in the elaborate paper in which .hs
seeks to commend il to the favor OF Con.
gress and of the country: ,t.sts
"We think we are liberal enough when.
in providing for America, we leave the
door of admission open to the children of
foreigners, now abroad, who may hereaf.
ter be born here, scithout alloping their
fathers to come and help to govern US.
We, pho alone haze any right TO think on
the subject, claim that We can best govern
ourselves; and the better such, government
in the mean time, 50 much the better for
the foreigners who may hereafter come
among US, and for their Amsrican-born
children" Z.

citizens support such candidate? gs
