To the above it may be added that
the rod should not come in immediate

this purpose glass is much used, and is
perhaps as safe and convenient as any
thing that can be obtained.

lightning Rods.

are Lightning Rods any protection
to buiidingS.-From the fact that build
ings are sometimes struck that have
lightning rods upon them, some have
been led to infer that the rods are of no
use. But should We not the rather infer
that in such a cases the rods are in some
way defectiye? Some lightning rods are
doubtless useless and worse than useless.
But this is not true Of all. 1t may be
well for those who are considering this
matter to read again, what they may
have studied at school long years ago ;
from the pen Of Prof. Comstock. If
any recent occurrences prove that light
ming rods constructed as Prof. Comstock
advises afford no protection TO buildings,
the public should be so informed. OF
such occurrences we have not yet heard.
Tie says, Buildings may be secured
from the effects Of lightning by fixing to
them a metallic rod, which is cheated
above any part of the edeGcc, and con-
tinued TO the moist ground or to the near
est water. Copper for the purpose is
better than iron, not only because it is
less liable to rust, but because it is a bet
ter conductor of the electric fluid. The
upper part Of the rod should end in sev-
eral fine points, which must be covered
with some metal not liable to rust, such
a gold, pIatina, or silver. No protection
IS afforded By The conductor, unless Il !

PoLEMICs.-The Christian Repository
of July 23d, speaking of Mr.. Beckwith' 5
book, Immersion not Baptism" says
The argument is learned, specious
and dogmatical. We do not think the
writer proves, however, that Christ was
not immersed by John the Baptist-that
John did not immerse the thousands in
Jordan who came to his baptisms nor
that this rite was never administered by
immersion in the days of the apostles ;
but we are taiiy convinced, by reading
this argument, that it is impossible to
prove that immersion lcas practiced,
either by John or any of the apostles of
Christ"
We would ask, if the Rev. au-
thor has offered learned, specious,
(fair) and dogmatical (positive) argu-
ment to prove a certain proposition, and
by so doing render it impossible to prove
the opposite, has he not logically made
out his case?

Struck by lightning.

The house of Mr.. Elijah Austin, Of
Greensboro, was struck by lightning dur
ing the thunder shower of Wednesday
evening July Dist.
The lightning first struck the chimney
throwing off a quantity of bricks. En-
tering the chimney it followed the stove
pipe through two rooms, into the parlor
where some of the family were sitting.
There from the stove, it passed to the
-four, splintering board and going
thence into the cellar.
The shock upon some of the family
was quite severe, but fortunately no one
was materially injured.

Dun New PRINTING OFFICE.-Our
friends everywhere will no doubt be graf
flied to learn that we have deserted the
miserable old shellin which the Standard
has been printed the past two years, and
have built a new one, near the Congre-
gational Church, where we shall hereaf-
ter dispense the news to our patrons far
and near. The Office is large and COM
modious, is warm, light and airy, and
what is better than all it belongs to US.
Mr. A. c. Randall, our new watchma-
ker and jeweler, is also putting him up a

or four weeks. We hope others will fol-
low the example we twain have set for

From their point of view perhaps they
think they are justified. They thought
it was legal and perhaps right to call the
subscribers down to Windsor county and
obtain judgments against them for each
instalment. The supreme court have
decided that it was not legal.
But Mr.. Thomas Plowjogger says he
can sell his farm for $4,000, which a
few years ago would bring only $1,000,
and he can now get % cents for his but
ter &c, &c, all this he credits the rail-
road. This is strange foolishness. But
admitting, even, that it is just so, what
does ii prove? That these subscribers
should pay for all these benefits? They
may if they choose, but are they bound
for this reason?
Nay, rather Mr. Thomas" it is not
honest in such men as you to ask it. The
non-paying subscribers own perhaps not
more than 10 per cent. Of the property
in the county. Here is great general
good; something that increases the value
of property 200 per cent, but by what
rule of law o. ethics do you show that
this 10 per eeat. of property should build
the road for the benefit Of the 80 per
cent? There is no reason, and l hope
" the old woman" viii "put in hard" to
prevent Thomas from again making such
foolish assertion.
That railroads are a public benefit
cannot be denied not up to the ideas of
Thomas, but especially TO property hold
ers, and property sboatldpayt for 1t prO-ra-
ia. This is tie only honest equal way. 1t
is absurd it is dishonest to compel a
/ few men to be the bearers of all the bur-
dens while the many reap the reward
But can the road be completed? Yes,
Let the directors collect their claims if
they deem them honest, not squander
large sum in feeling i" R. RS" or
Thomas'es," let them not involve them
selves, but stop where they are if they
can obtain no money an present facilli-
ties, and if the road will not pay, go
back where it will, and thus with new
subscriptions come before those who are
! to be benefited, and long before they will
allow their properly to depreciate 200,
or even 90 per cent, money enough will
be forth coming to complete the road
It is the people the schoLe people, and
the achOle property, that is interested
then let the whole people and property
pay for it, for the 80 to ask it of the 10
I submit to the public candor, is it moi
dishonest and mean.

legally or even morally bound; but you

LATER FROM UTAH-THE PEOPLE
RETURNED. 81. Louis, July 26. BY
the arrival of the steamer D. 4. Janua-
ry, at Bonneville, we have Leavenworth
dates to the Esd inst. 1Ir. Livingston,
an old trader on the Plains, arrived there
last night from Salt Lake City, with
dates of June 30. The army had march
ed from the capital for Cedar Valley,
forty miles below. Brigham Young and
the heads of the Mormon Church had
returned to the city, and the people were
following en- maSSe. All was quiet in
the valley. Some of the returned team
ster8 are circulating report of gold de-
posts in the vicinity of St. Verain's fort
Their statements do not receive full cred
it, in the absence of information from au-
thentic sources.
Dispatches from St. Joseph's, dated
ZZu lnSt., per the steamer u. A. Janua-
~, state that advices from Salt Lake City
to July 3, have been received. The
Mormons had all returned to the city and
their houses in different parts of the
Territory. Gen. Johnston had passed
through the city with his forces, and en-
camped thirty miles on the other side Of
it. No troops were in the city. The
government officers had been daily in
stalled in their various offices, and were
for the proper discharge Of
their duties. Brigham Young was anx-
ious to be tried on the charge of treason,
but insisted that the jury should consist
of Mormons only.

" From all present indications the
State will elect at least eighteen OPPOSE

other and to the dirty work of the slave
drivers. Buchanan's organ at Harris
burg announces that all the Lecompton
men must be renominated. Be it So

that negro man, slave of Mrs. Stock, in
that city, recently came to his death from
the brutal treatment Of a fendish over
seer named VIM S. Montgomery, who
administered series of whippings ex-
tending over ten days. The first punish
ment consisted of five hundred stripes
When 1t was ascertained the negro would
