MAIL GLEANINGS.

II The Albany Register states that
during severe thunjeT storm, which passed over
Earlville, Madison County, on Wednesday, Mr.
Warren Skinner farmer of that town, While at
work in his field with a young man named Ross,
was struck by thunder ,ot and instantly killed.
Ross was within four feet of Skinner, and was pros
tTated to the ground by the shock SINNERS
clothes were torn entirely into fragments, and
thrown in different directions more than thirty
IL ut from where he stood aud both his boots were
entirely torn off and thrown at least ten feet.
There was scarcely shred ofsny part of his cloth
ing left on him. Ross lay on the ground for an IN.
slant, not entirely insensibe, and made one or two
efforts 10 arise before he able. As soon as he
had sufficiently recovered himselfh he spoke Co S<,n
ner two or three times, but received no IeDig. lie
soon a.certaiDed that he was dead as blood was
running from both Of ais ears and there were two
holes IN the top of his head Ross immediately
ran for help and Skinner was soon conveyed IT,
bis house, which was not far distant. The agony
81 his wife seeing hun brought in is beyond de-
scription. A correspondent of The Utica o.
Serger saws: IL il n curious fact connected WITH
this sad result, that there two holes in Skin
ner's bead, which appeared to have been made by
the electric fluid, and also hole in the bottom of
each foot and hole in the ground directly under
each foot.

pont and the church connected with the Hollis-st

| that Mr.. Perpont should have the income of the
| church property which had accumulated since the
&C mmeDcement of the suit, and should pay his
own counsel, and waive all further right or claim
| upon the property. The amount he received was
abe NJ S2,5OO, or one half the original donation.
ms settlement avoids the passing of judgment by
the Supreme Court, upon various questions inter-
