The somewhat remarkable story reported
from Richmond, Va, last week, to the effect
that co olored boy had been struck dumb for
telling falsehoods, is suddenly dispelled by a
later report which describes how couple OF

but all attempts, by sticking him with pms
and other articles to make him speak failed.
A galvanic battery was next applied with pet

turned on than the afflicted youth began 70

to cry out, "Stop, doctor, stop" Upon being

been stricken.

Immigration to this country is now at a
flood tide beyond anything hitherto known.
The number of aliens landed at the ports OF the
United States in 1881 was upward OF seven
hundred thousand, which exceeds the NUMBER
ofarrivals in 1880 by about quarter OF mil
lion. No previous year in the history OF the
country shows an immigration approaching
this in magnitude. But the unprecedented
tide of last year is still rapidly rising. The
arrivals at New York alone during the first hve
months of the present year show the enormous
total of two hundred and twenty eight thousand,
and outnumber those for the corresponding
period of last year by nearly nifty thousand.
More than ninety thousand immigrants, or an
average of three thousand day, landed at
Castle Garden in May of this year. which is
about fifteen thousand more than arrived In
May, 1881 What will be the total immlgra-
ton to the United States for the current year
it is impossible to foretell. That 1t VIII reach
an aggregate far surprising all previous figures
cannot be doubted.

Railroad building, which went on
last year at remarkable and unparallel-
ed rate of between nine and ten thous-
and miles in the twelve months, is
likely to continue through this year at
almost as lively speed. In the first
FIVE months 3,48O miles of track were
laid for I2O different lines in the vari-
GUS States and Territories, Texas lead
ing with 1874 miles. The iron horse is
pushing it's way everywhere, carrying
immigration, civilization and triumph
in its train.
The heavy rain of last Monday
morning caused a food in the creek
and runs in this vicinity. The iron
bridge over the Connoquenessing near
James Karnes, east of town, was under
water for several hours; the fiat in the
eastern part of the borough, was cover
ed with water, which at noon was
within foot of the floor of the Spring
dale bridge Sullivan's run overfowed
it's banks and made some of the streets
in the western part of the borough, IN
cluding the west end of Jefferson
street. impossible. The hail that ac
companied the rain did some damage
to vegetation. We hear of several
bridges in the county being swept
away and much injury to other prop
erty- crops not much injured.

The sun has apparently regained
it's usual June fervor. The true ex-
PLANTATION of the comparatively cool
weather seems 10 be that the amount
of aqueous vapor in the atmosphere
was unusually large, and this served as
a screen to intercept the suns heat
rays. No observations were taken to
show the absolute humidity of the at
mosphere, but the very heavy rainfalls
abundantly proved that the aerial cur
rents were abnormally charged with
moisture. The country south of the
fortieth parallel has been in fact screen
ed from the suns radiation very much
as some of the West Indian islands,
where the vapor laden trade wind
shields the soil from the fiercest rays.
Even at Barbados, within about twelve
degrees from the Equator, the thermom-
eter as a rule rises in summer only to
85, that being the absolute maximum
heat given in the British records.
