Mirage on the PatppsCo.

The singular meteorological phenomenon
OF mirage on the Pntapsco river, WAS wit.
messed few mornings since by number OF
persons at Canton. The atmosphere was so
light, that Hawkins's Poiut, at a distance Of
six miles, seemed to loom far above it, real
position, and the small fishing boats around
the shore were plainly seen 1t is rare that
a mirage is noticed in this latitude, though it
is more common on the northern lakes, when
tho atmosphere becomes 80 clear that otj Gets
may be seen for a distance Of twenty N les
with the naked eye The phenomenon is
most common on sandy plains, when tie illu-
sion of the optics presents the scene as vast
body of water, or elevated objects. Ia q
dense atmosphere it never exists, and that
observed at IIawkins's Point was doubtless
caused by the clear and warm weather which
has now continued for more than a week.

Lightning Rods.

Sunday afternoon New Haven was visited
with severe thunderstorm. The lightning
struck the Wooster Place Church, sensibly
affecting lady in the choir. Prot. Oimstead
aud the architect carefully examined the
course Of the electricity, and agree that the
charge descended the rod to the level Of the
gas pipe in the wall, when part Of 1t iet'
the rod ADD found its way to the earth by
way of the metre, and thence to the main
gas-pipes oftbe city. The excellent conduct,
ing medium which these pipes AFFORD, makes
them powerful com petitors for the discharg.
ipg function of lightning rod, and thus
when the rod is nearly OR fully charged to
its utmost, the charge will divide itself be,
tween the two, according to we'll known
principle in electricity This fact may be
of importance in regard to tho relatise po,
sision of the lightning rod and gas pipes OF
a building.

a story.

A correspondent Of the Philadelphia Mer-
curry tells the following story: Two or three
years ago the railway lines between Albany
and Buffalo we're consolidated, under the
title of tho New York Central. Thurlow
Weed, of the Albany Evening Journal engi-
neered the matter through the Legislature,
aad for this service WAS to receive the hand
some sum Of IS 900 Of which Etastus Corn
Jag WAS t. furnish $4,000, aud Dean Rich
moud $4,000. The plan succeeded, and the
money vas paid over. But as Mr.. Weed
didn't thirk it would look well to have the
s.Oca stand i'll his own name, he made 1t over
TO an old and particular friend of his--hlr.
Mcintosh had made money as rail
road contractor. 1t was understood between
the parties that Mcintosh was to hold the
stock, and then quietly mskei, over to Weed.
But, unluckily, Mclotosh died, and forgot to
leave a will 81 the administrators, IN max
ing UP the account Of the assets, stumbled NJ
on the certificates for this - OO0 and put them
down TO Mclutosh's credit, surprising, Of
course, they were bis. The debts were paid,
and a handsome balance was left for the
widow, attractive Mrs. Mcintosh, who was
married a (, weeks ago TO Mr. exPrcsiden'
Fillmore. Thurluw's eight thousand dollars
went along it'll the widow into the arms OF
the mau whom Thurlyw hates probably as
badly as one man can hate anOther. For a
political scandalous yarn it is not bad, and
makes fun.
