No case Of dealt, has yet occurred TO a tele-
graph orerator-to persons on board Of steam
bpals or railroad cars, or in iron vessels or
iron bu ldings, or in vessels furnished with
Iiahtning conductors, and but four deaths in
buildings furnished with lightning rods. Two
persons have been killed by lightning while
standing on the outside platform Of r"ilroad
cars.
Many persons snffer greatly from fear,
during thunder storms, and that fear has, in
two cases which have come to our know dye,
produced death. 1t will be a comfort toy such

The Sandman army, however, have SHOWN
themselves worthy of the chiyalrous guidance
Of their King. TO them belong the hosors OF

cavalry during that affair seems to have de-
cided at the most critical moment the fortunes
of the day. On this more recen, occasion OF
Palestro it was the Fourth Division of the
| sardipian army, commanded by the King in
person, which inflicted so decisive 9Acheck
uron the enemy. Attacked by ESQ a, n', ensc
%trians, and supported only by n AAar,er 1t

not only retained its position, but defeated fila

them an important object to hinder the juno
ton of the Sardihfans with Canrobert. and in
%thisthey e%ntireln failed. They were fairly de-
feated, leaving Numerous guns in the hands OF
the enemy.
The victory was won, we repeat il, by the
Sardinians, with their King at their head.
Our only regret must be that such victories
are not won without a heavy payment in blood.
The Sandman army has hitherto borne the
brunt of the war, and, however noble and chi
%vaIrons, can but i'll afford to endure the losses
which such contests involve. The hopes OF
Italy rest on the banners Of the Sandman
King. Were his army destroyed. it would
matter but little to the italian race which En-
peror conquered in the long run. Unless there
be a national Italian army forthcoming. with
all Italian chief at its head, respected for his
military virtues, the ultimate gain Of Italy viii.
be small ialeed. All true we'll wishers to
Italy, for her WI SAX, look with the deepest
anxiety to the fate of the Sandman army aud
the fortunes of the Sandman King.
