Struck by Lightning,

During the thunder storm on Wednes-
day the Goth ult., one Of the most remar-
kabIe escapes from instant death, by light
ming, occurred that we have ever been
called on 10 record.
A youth aged about ten or twelve years,
residing with his father, John Smith, OF
NJ, Esq, near Woodsboro', in this coun-
~, was distance from the house when
the storm came up, and had ia ken shelter
from it, beneath d tree. While leaning
against the tree, it was struck by light
ming, and the fluid in its descent, when on
a level with the boys head, left the trunk
of the tree, tore the glazed cap from his
head, and separating portions Of it, passed
down both his sides, in its course, rend-
ing in twain his outside garments, scor-
ching his shirt, burning his person, melt
ing the iron spring of pen-knife, in one
of his pockets, and heating a tin box,
which he had in another pocket, 10 such a
degree, as to scar his flesh, and finally
found its way out at the toes and heels of
both boots. The lad, although stricken
10 the earth, and insensible when discov-
cred, was, we are happy to learn, not
dangerously hurt, and has nearly recover
ed, though his burns were considerable.

A Sad Picture.

We learn from Tie newspapers tina
there is at the present time great deal o
want and distress in California. The stores
are crowded with goods and no sale fol
them laborers abundant, but nothing tc
do, and times unprecedentIy hard. A Cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing
from San Francisco under date of APr
Is, says:
AT the present time potatoes are sci
ling at ten cents per bushel onions a
twenty five cents, and in fact every Other
description of goods about in proportion.
You may often see ii stated that labOrer's
wages range from Ten 10 five dollars pei
day, but can assure you that there are
in San Francisco thousands Of mechanics
willing to work for half of the above named
prices, and | candidly believe that every
day there are two thousand men that DO
not know when they get up in the morning
where or how to obtain their breakfast ;
and were it not for the luncheOns set ont

Of them would be hungry all day. have
often found persons who have told me that
for two or three days they have had no.
thing to eat except what was picked up by
them at the taverns.'
