short time returned, when the soldier accused Mr.
F. Nassaeur clerk III the store, of having robbed
him Of his money. The young man denied the
charge, but the soldier reiterated at the same

EFFECTS OF THE STORM OF SUNDAY.-The vivid
flashes of lightning which accompanied the storm
OF Sunday evening were productive OF quite serious
results in some instances. The centre building of
the General Wayne Inn was injured by it, the pas-
terlng being Knocked from the ceiling, and two or
three OF the inmates were sensibIy shocked. The
oe-Wlres running through the house were melted,
and bed IN one of the apartments was set on fire.
but was eXtingushed before much damage was
done.
domestic named Mary Fitzgerald, employed at
Mliier's Hotel, on Paca street. who sitting at
door during the storm, injured so seriously
that her life was for some time despaired of. She
was completely sfened and stupefed; living with
her eyes open, but being unable say word or
move limb; she lay in this condition for three
hours, when DR.. Armitage succeeded in partially
restoring the use of some of her limbs. Up to late
hour last evening, however, she had not been able
10 speak, and her friends are doubtful as to her
recovery.
RETURNING SoLDIERs-During Sunday night two
regiments came from Gen. Banks command, near
Harper's Ferry, and returned to their homes by
way OF the Northern G, ntral Railway. They were
the 10Th and 2lst Pennsylvania regiments and had
enlisted for three months, under Coils. Grey and
BAlher.
The 2nd Wisconsin regiment, having served out
the three months for which the men were enlisted
came up from Washington last night, on their way
home The 9th Massachusetts regiment, Colonel
Jones, the same which was attacked the 10Th of
April in their passage through Pratt street, and
which has for some time been encamped at the
Relay House, will pass through the city this morn
ing en- route for home, their term of enlistment
having also expired. Captain Cooks battery of
Boston Light Artillery will also return home this
morning. The horses and guns will be put on
board the cars at Mount Glare station, near their
encampmeut, and they will pass through the city
by rail-
The THIRTEENTH REGIaENr-This regiment left
their encamFment yesterday morning about eight
O'Clock, and marched by way of Baltimore and Exc
ter streets to the President street depot. On their
march they were occasionally cheered, and, on an
average, from one house in each square occupied
BY dwellings, flag or handkerchief was waved
from the windows. The members Of the regiment
however, made no response TO any demonstration,
but passed along apparently rejoiced that they
were on their way home. But verv few of this
regiment will re enlist, being, like the members of
the Ith New York, cOntented with what they have
already seen of the war. Lieutenant Colonel
Clarke, of the regiment, was in command Colonel

Jail has determined that anv prisoners who give

bv them. He is induced to take this step for the
purpose OF saving the officers great deal of time
ard trouble in hunting up prisoners when their
friends wish to see them. In consequence of this
the advantage of persons giving their
proper names when arrested is apparent. 1t is
also determined that will be tried in the
G rninal Court on Saturday when the parties have
not been committed to Jail (unIess bail) before
II O'Clock on the day preceding.
