the 10th describes the singular effects of flash of
lightning which killed negro and the horse upon
which he was riding:
He was riding on Mrs. Menards pony, with
pitcher of milk in hand and was just on the city
limits when he struck with the electric fluid and
both he and the pony killed. They both fell together
and persons who saw them fall ran up Immediately
but not the slightest sign of animation could be dis
covered in either. The man was found upon the
pony he was riding with one foot under the body
and the milk pitcher laying on the ground. Dr..
Sims was Immediately sent for and was speedily there's
but all the usual applications failed to produce the
least sign of animation The fluid struck the man on
the back Of his head taking off some of the hair and
producing small indention 1t then appeared to di-
vide upon his shoulder, portion passing down on
the front of his body and the other upon his back
the skin being taken off, with hot iron in several
places both sides, from his shoulders to his feet.
No marks whatever were discovered on the pony.

THE N1AGARA-The European Times thus rosices

the U. s. frigate Niagara:
We have noticed elsewhere the arrival, in the river
Mersey, of the United States steam frgate Niagara.
for the purpose of embarking its half of the Atlantic
telegraph cable, by means of whichthe union between
the two countries, which has hitherto been fgura-
tive expression is to be converted ntoa literal reality
The descriptions in the Times and other papers had
anticipated her arrival bnt are happy to be able
to confirm, from actual inspection all the eulogiums
that have been pronounced upon her; Her appear.
in these waters has challenged the criticism of
our best naval judges, and their award in her favor
has been frank and unanimous. But the object of
her visit involves higher considerations. The peace
which has so long sbssted between the two countries
and which should never have been broken, may now,
we trust be regarded for ever irrefragable. In
creased intercourse and multiplied traffic have led
to their natural consequence-an inalienable friend
ship. 1t is remarkable circumstance that vessels of
war should have been employed by both nations in
the united service of cementng link which is the
emblem of peace, and which must for the future rem
der war impossible. Never did a foreign war-ship
cast anchor in our port under happier auspices for
a more glorious object than that of completing the
electric chain which is bind two great and kindred
nations hand to hand and heart to heart.

Crops IN FLoRIDA.-The Savannah Georgian pub
fishes the following extracts from private letter from
a gentleman of Eastern Florida
The crops in East Florida are excellent especially
is this true Of the crop, now nearly made, In
the large county of Aachua, it is believed, owing to
the excellence of the season and the recent influx of
population, the product of this year will double
that of any previous A yield of fifty bushels per
acre some of the best lands is anticipated.
Cotton too looks WELL but is in great jeopardy from
excess Of rains We have had almost daily showers
for month past. If continued they must very soon
begin to tell unfavorably upon our great staple.
