nights since the keeper Of the outer Light.
house, at Cape Elizabeth, was startled by a
flock of sea ducks, which dashed against the
glass lantern with great violence, aud with
sufficient momentum to break the plate glass,
which is about three cights Of an inch thick,
SO as to admit three Of them inside Of the
lantern.
The keepers have often picked up dead
birds on the outside OF tho lantern, but this,
we believe, Is tho first instance, in which
they have broken the thick glass Of light

Of all other considerations, our geographical

ing to see our State the theater Of a long and
bloody civil war, and the consequent utter
destruction Of every material interest of our
people, to say nothing of the blood of brave
