A Month OF CALAMrTY.-Truly this has been
a mouth of calamity. Within three or four weeks
we have been called upon to report the dessruc-
ton of the steamship Independence in the Pacific,
the Ocean Wave on the Lakes. and the Jenny
Lind in California; the awful railroad caamities
at Chicago and Norwalk and now we have to add
to the catalogue the loss of the ship William aud
Mary at sea- By these six disasters, not less than
five hundred souls have oeen hurried into eternity
and in addition to these there have been minor
accidents on railroads and steamboats,, falling OF
buildings, ETC., which would materially swell the
fearful aggregate. There must be growing dis
regard for human life throughout the world, when
disasters of shis kind come thus ''in battalions"
The effect will be to keep all travellers merely for
pleasure at home, until they have some guaranty
that they will have fair chance for life on rail
cars and steamboats, Phaa. BnL
In reference to the New Haven road, the Bos-
ton Transcript says that, @The day after the DIS
aster, the number of passengers carried on the
road was 1852. During the days of last week,
the numbers varied from 2300 to $500, so that
the local travel does not seem to have been affect

The Congregationalst church at Lockport.
New York, was struck by lightning on Sunday
afternoon, the 22d instant Just after the religious
service had commenced The lightning struck
the church steepe on the southwest corner pass
ing down into the gallery occupied by the singers
which was directly under the steepe and all the
persons affected by the shock were members of
the choir. They about conc ludng the in
troductory hymn when the shock came, carrying
death, sorrow, and dISmay into their midst. The
main streak of electricity entered the gallery di-
rectly over the head of Mr.. Luther Crocker. jr..
who was PLAYING the bass viol, killing him instant
iy and injurlng more or less Samuel Duriee. Cy-
rus {. Northam lad about II years of age, son
of William Mack: Mary Place, daughter Of Geo.
Place, Frances Holmes, daughter of A. Holmes,
and Miss Sarah Stewart.
The Lockport Courier, in further account of
the matter, says:
The Lightning struck his right side, then pass
ed across his body, down his left leg. leaving un-
mlstakable traces of its course. The wife and
child of Mr. G. We're in the body of the church at
the time of the accident and upon the fact of his
death being communicated to his wife she tainted
away. Tue little child, who was frightened at
the appearance of her mother, ran up the aisle
calling for her father to and help her mother
who she said was sick. The scene was truly at-
fectng, and caused tears to gush from the eyes OF
all those who it.
MIR. Crocker was the junior partner in the
firm of T. I. Flagler & Co., and was an upright
citizen and constant professor oil rellglon lie
was of the leading members of the Congre-
gational church
Miss Stewart was injured but slightly, she be-
ing able to leave the church in a few moments
without any assistance. She was dressed in silk,
which was doubtless the cause of her escape. as
the electririty passed over her dress.
~'The tightening entered the gallery in two
places, being brought in by the wires of two
lamps One of the bolts struck with full force
probably Mr.. C. while the other spread in differ
ent directions, being less fatal in its effects"
