The Atlantic Cable.

The Atlantic Cable is at last laid down and in full operation from Ireland to New Found land. distance of over 1900 miles.
 The accomplishment of this great enterpris' hardly stirs up the popular heart as lid the momentary success of the old cable in iSoS. The event was greater then, proportionably, than i1 is new. Although but eight years have passed We are no longer raw, overgrown youth among nations. but have developed tn" firmly knit muscles and hardened energy of manhood Much as Europe has in that time learned about us. we have learned more aboat ourselves, paying four billion dollar tuition fee in the dear school of experience.
 During these years we have become accus- toned to great news Often in one day the nation which seemed saved in the morning, has been despaired of at night, thousands falling fruitlessly; till at last came the great glory and great relief of the final triamph.
 To generation which has seen all this, the achievements of science seem tame but the the victories which cost no man his life are often the greatest, and the conqaests of man over nature, not of man over man, form the chief glory of the nineteenth century.

On Wednesday afternoon last the house of MT Edmund E Garlich about mile south of the village, was struck by lightning and con siderably damaged, some think 5000 would hardly cover the loss. There were several persons iu the house at the time nearly all of whom received severe shocks, but none were seriously injured. The house was fired in several places, but the fire was soon extir guished. The house was protected by light ming rod so called, but curiously enough the electric fluid in it's passage seemed to seek every conductor but that. Starting with the rod. but not approving it's construction it fol. lowed it but short distance when piece of the rod about eight feet in length was torn out and thrown to the ground, n portion Of the fluid entering the house nearly at this point going through found tin water conduc tor which conveyed it to the ground. Another portion of the fluid seems lo have lcnped over the break in the rod, and following it half way down the gable end of the building lefr and made it's way through iil that ioo found a better conductor in sn iron window frame in the cellar.
