tleman of our acquaintance, In whose xord entire
reliance may be rlsced, informs MS that while
on the Capandaigua aud Niagara Falls Railroad,
COW was seen upon the track, running with all
speed to keep aht ad Of the train. The animal per-
sisted in keeping the track, Notwithstanding the
rapid rate at which the laundering train gained
upon her. The train was travelling at lightning
speed, and very soOH struck the COW. The long
Bosc Of the catcher" struck under the beast Just
as sho was making one Of her highest ,unds. when
she was in an instant thrown to tho height of thirty
feet in the all end again struck upon the track just
the last ST OF from under her. The train con-
sisted OF the locomotive and tender, baggage and
two passenger cars. Our friend assures Us thatthe
cars did not pass over the animal, and the con.
ducor and ngneer testify TO the fact that the ami
NAL was tossed up as dee ribbed, and he, being in
the last car saw the dead creature after it fell upon
the track. II WIS her last sonerset.-Rochester

We understand that the storm Of Wednesday after
noon WAS verW severe In portions Of baltimore
county. Some four miles from the city. on the
Hariod turn pike, considerable damage was done
by the wind and rain. The growing corn was In
many localities entirely prostrafed, the trees cons
derably stripped Of their fruit, stacks Of hay blown
down, and the turnpike much washed and damaged.
Two valuable COVE, ono belonging to Mr.. rhos. W.
Burchell, and the other to Mr.. John Thames werc
also killed by the lightning. It appears they
were stsnding under large gum tree, and that tho
electric ind without apparently touching the tree
struck the COWS and killed. them instantiy.-Bat
