THE WEATHER.

The weather for the past nine days has been ex-
tremey variable, alternating between rain, log, sui.
triness and extreme heat and thunder storms. It
has rained every day during the period named and
in several instances accompanied by high winds ana
lightning The storm on Sunday afternoon was un.
usually severe, but did not come with
out giving ample warning The prelude
was distant thunder, black clouds roll
ing up from the westward, and ftfal
squalls which whistied through the trees In the
parks and through our streets. The storm Of sun.
Gay might be termed double one. as It was dis
tnctiy observed that there were two strong currents
OF air and two strata OF Clouds one moving ives;
northwest ana the other apparently from east to
west. For the space Of twelve minutes flashes OF
lightning were incessant, and In New Jersey and
Long Island numerous cases Of accident are reported
but, fortunately, not attended with loss OF life.
In the village Of Jamaica the wires Of the Soath
Side Telegraph Company were burned and cut by
the lightning. The house OF Patrick LarklD had
corner completely torn on, and the house OF John
Car,nan was also badly damaged. The most serious
occurred upon the Sound, opposite whitesione,
where q boat was struck and upset and the three
men on board OF her thrown into the water, one OF
them being Instantly killed. The other two were
OF some parties who witnessed the transaction from
the windows Of the whitestone Hotel aud had the
courage to approach them in row boat. The dam
age IN other sections OF the island has not been ascer.
tained, but u is no doubt very heavy.

ram ceased the sidewalks were left covered with
sediment. Many Of the oldest and handsomest trees
In the town were plncked up by the roots aud hurled
upon the roads. In Liberty street horse chestnut
tree fell across the street. In Broadway lmbs were
torn from trees and scattered upon the highway, and
two very large trees were completely pr0strstei.
heavy scntte cover was wrencled from the Town

yards.
on yesterday the weather was sultry and unpleas-

OF VIRGINIA
EQUALITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF VIRGINIA.

Reasons why every should insure in the
Equality Life Insurance Company of Virginia:
First. 1t is more liberal 20 the insurers than
any other company, and will eventually become
purely mutual, and belong to the insurers.
Second. 1t eircuates its money amongst its
patrons, who the insurers. Consequently
they are continually getting the benefit OF the
rapid Accommodations OF the Company the money
being invested by the Board of Directors amongst
the Insurers Therefore the insurers are build
ing up an institution peculiarly their own, and
conducted for their benefit.
Third. The leans in this Company as liberal
as other companies, who declare dividend s at the
end of the second. third, and fourth years; but
this Company at the end OF the first and every
year. Thereby the insurer a-es several years
interest on his loans by insuring IN this Company
and he never leoses his money If he ever pays up
for ONE WHOLE ! EAR, whereas in other com,
panieS he has to remain insurer for several
years, or Le-looses all the money he has paid.
Let tie people of Virginia take plain, cnul-
mon sense view Of the sGhiect, and see that Ii Is
to tn If interest to keep the money here, where
they have restrictions sea- cely ON their poll
cies, and can get the OF the money they have
been heretofore sending out OF the State.

A New Metal.

The quiet intimation Civ n last spring
about new metal is now. something TO be
talked about, for Sir Joseph " hitwofth,
after long course Of experiment, has sue
ceeded in producing iron and steal, which
as be states, will resist any amount Of
shock or strain that may be put upon
them. This Whitworth metal, as it is
called, is, while in molten state, sub
jected to enormous pressure, by which all
the sis bubbles those sources Of weak
ness-are got rid Of, aud tie metal is
entered perfectly homogene Gus. If Sir
J. Whitworth is right in his conclusions,
our iron trade is about to undergo another
revolution, and we shallha guns of the
largest size, which will send their bolt
through anything aud every thing. aud
nevcrburst we shall have wheels for
railway carriages that will never crack
boilers that will never blow up, and
wire for submarine cables that won't
break in the laying. It is an encouraging
prospect F; and We hope that the ten
young men who have just obtained the ten
Whitworth scholarships of one hundred
pounds each, will perletuate the persAver-
ing skill, the ingenuity, aad enterprise of
their bensfactor.
As if TO be ready for the new demand
that will grow out of these indestructible
gus q new kind of powder, nearly six
hundred times stronger than guupowder,
has been invented and patented by an
Austrian, resident in the United States.
Further particulars nray be expected ere
long London Once a Week.
