Freaks Of LIGHTNING.

During the violent storm of "Wednesday last,
the house of Mrs. Mcclure. near Waynes3o
rough, was struck by lightning The daughter.
in, law of Mrs Mcclure, with an infant in her
arms,was knocked downand fora few minutes was
entirely insensbe. but did not sustain any perma-
nent injury. The lightning struck The top of the
chimney, throwngoff several stones, and perfora-
ting hole in the wall on the second story, against
which large looking glass was hanging One oil
tho posts of a strong chair standing under the
glass was split from top to bottom, and one of the
pieces thrown across the room, without moving
the chair from its place. The casing of the door,
near which Mrs. Mcclure sat, was torn off, and
the floors Of the house were covered with scotland
ashes.
Mr. j. S. Bush, from whom we have obtained
the above facts, was severely shocked in his own
house, some four hundred yards from Mrs. Nc

rsrrItor,al Appointments,

The Washington Sentinel complains of Pres
ident Pierce forapPoin,ing Mr.. Reeder, northern
man, Governor Of Kansas Territ ry. The Attor
ny and majority OF the judicial appointments f'r
Nebraska are from the North. and the Attorney
and majority of the judicial appointments i'r
Kansas are from the South; and the Senil-
mel is surprised that the same principle, which the
Executive clearly recognized in these cases, did
no. govern its action in the gubernatorial appoint
raents. at does not admit ola doubt" says the
Sentinel, ''that If Southern Governor had been
appointed to the territory Kansas, it would have
been the means of inducing southern immigration
there, and heaee of giving the question OF slavery
fair hearing before the convention, which will
frame the constitution of this future state. We
had thought that the course which has been par
sued would have the effect of multiplying the i'm
portant principle ofths bill. and that again the
south would be compelled to be content with al
abstraction, which acknowledged her rights but
denied their practical recognition"
