THE RECENT SToRA.-'rhe storm of
Wednesday last which had such powerful
effect here, was felt somewhat at Minneap-
oils. The North 1testern Democrat says:
The store of Messrs Chambers i Hedderly,
of this place, was struck by lightning, the fluid
entering che chimney. tearing it to pieces,
passed down into the store, tore up the floor,
ripped open q key of tobacco, sundered tea
chest, flashed off small quantity ofpowder in
q keg which was in one corner of the room,
and after doing sundry other antics, glided a.
long the floor to the counting room, passing
the bodies OF Mr.. Chambers and O boy, who
were sleeping upon the floor stunned and bruis-
ed them both, so much so as to confine the latter
to his room for few days; and from thence it
entered the cellar, bursted in the head of vim
egar barrel, enptying the contents upon the
ground, and then, as If satisfied with its work
of destruction, buried itself in the earth-
There was no lightning rod upon the house.

A REMARKABLE MAN-There is gentle
man residing in this city who came here twen-
ty-three years ago from England and brought
with him some three hundred guineas of his
own hard earnings, with which be commenced
business as grocer on o small scale. Little
by little he increased his trade, and at the
present time be is probably worth more than
any other man in Massachusetts in the same
line Of business. During the period of twenty
three years he never gave note of hand or
took one; he never sued man and was never
q e ] himself, nor ever called on to the witness
stand in any court during the whole period
He was never naturalized, and of course never
voted, although he has paid thousands of dol
lars of State and county taxes. He has been
known to buy q cargo of West India goods
amounting to $780, 900, for which he paid cash
on delivery. He never deals in or drinks in
toxicating liquors; never gives dollar for
charitable purposes where he thinks his name
will appear in thenewspapers, although he has
distributed thousands to relieve the distresses
of his fellow men. Can such another man be
found in this or any other countrys-B Boston

How many old things are departing from
our land. Old politicians have gone, old par
ties are going, old platforms breaking down,
old society going to the sleep Of death. old
fashions aud notions and ideas vanishing, be-

the precise principle of the division of labor.
Each individual has his forte. If he cultivates
that he succeeds. and the world is richer by 30

A savage fight took place at San Francis
co, on the goth of June, between VIM. Multi
gan and Yankee Sullivan in which the latter
was terribly bitten about the face and head
and otherwise battered. The circumstances
are nearly as follows: "A dispute arose be-
tween Sullivan and Mulligan at ock-pit,
and the latter challenged the former to " fist
fight" which was declined, but upon being
urged, the challenge was accepted. 1t was
agreed, so it is alleged, that the contest should
take place in on apartment Of 1'ysen's Ex-
change, and thither the principals repaired,
followed by large number of persons inter
ssted in the quarrel. Upon arriving in the
passage way, Sullivan was feled by blow
from some weapon, and while upon the floor
was beaten, stamped, and bitten in shocking
manner. man Of less hardihood could not
have existed under the amount Of punishment
