THE ATLANTIC of this month is very read able number. Of the merit of Prot. Agassi, second article on the physical history of the valley of the Amazon, we are not sufficiently scientific to speak "What did she see with, !,
 is one of those disagreeable stories dealing with the phenomena of Pschycology of which Bulwer's Strange Story" is the worst. We have had enough of fiction on that subject, what we want is fact. "The Great Doctor is z powerfully written denunciation of quacks unpalatable enough to be sound medicine. Griffith Gaunt" waxes very sensational, "A year in Montana" i" is well written instructive article on the ways of a new mining district, "How my new acquaintance spin," is an inter esting account of remarkable species of spi- der dicovered by the writer in the islands near Charleston; the thread theY.spin may he thinks become substitute for. silk.

b6~ We copy the following additional ac- counts of the hail storm described by our Washington, Roxbury and Sharon correspon. dence of last week. @.a.
 >" On Saturday afternoon last between three and four o'clock terrible tornado of wind rain, hail, thunder and lightning passed over New Milford and vicinity The tornado con- menced in Sipmsor's Mountain west of Wing Station on the Harlem Railroad and passed to the eastward. At that part of New Milford called Marbledale and Chestnut Land, it was particularly severe The new barn of MT. Henry Camp at Chestnut Land, was unroofed and one gable end torn of, and his field of corn and oats were much injured. large Chestnut tree near his residence was slvered by lightning. The large tobacco field of Mr. Perry Hall was entirely destroyed. MT, Hall had four acres of the plants in fine fourishing condition iiust ready to top, and considered the best tobacco field in the county which were entirely ruined. Mr. Hall estimates his loss at $500. At Washington. Roxbury and Bridgewater the storm was particularly se- , were, ,tearing down fences breaking window glass buildings destroying crops, &c. Hail stones as large as walnuts were lying deep and thick in winrows along the roads as late as nine o'clock on Suncay morning. We have as yet no estimate of the entire loss sustained but it must have been very heavy."
 In the same storm the residence of William Dorcey, in Pembroke street East Bridgeport was struck, the plastering torn off in three closets, chimney rent, crockery broken and some clothes set on fire.
 The house of w Thorp in Stepney was struck, the lightning knocking off and destroy ing about and half of the old fashioned chim. .ney, running down the rafter, split that in two and also knocked of the '6llagree" work around the cornices of the house. Mrs Thorp place with child in her arms was thrown present was thrown from her chair, violently on the floor. Neither was seriously hurt, but of course were terribly frightened. MT Thorp who was in the barn some distance from the house, was thrown down but not injured. The bolt left the house in most pitiable condition, the rooms being filled with brick, plaster, dust and slivers.
 At Fairfield the residence of the late Cap tain Israel Bivins near Black Rock was struck The lightning split the cornices, ran down the chimney, into the milk room and knocked of tae plastering, entered closet, set some clothes on fire, and destroyed two hoop skirts which were'fortunately at the time unoccupied ana wound up the performance by tearing up tns cellar stairs, scattering the brick work, and then Jumping on to a crow-bar standing near by entered the earth. The building was pro. tecteG by lightning rods.
 Iae dwelling house of Henry Knapp at Mill Ill! southport was struck by lightning also, And barn destroyed in Stratford.
