. V the most tremendous ‘and awful thunder storms
' ever known in this "Part of the country. For
at least 30 minutes there was one continued blaze
and roar from the grand, artillery of heaven, at-
tended’ with rain and hail in almost solid columns;
and to add to the sti_blin_1ity of the scene, and aw-
ful gr-amlgur of the view, five barns struck by the
lightning, were in flames in sight of our house.
After the storm, we heard the death of Mr. Har-

‘ .21 new method Qfgettinga l«‘Vg'/'c.——A few days
since a man by the name of-——— Sans, having
made some advances to a young lady in the coun-
ty of Meigs, which did not meet with the appro-
bation of her father, the old gentleman forbid him
his house. But my gentleman was not to bode-
feated in this way. He, with a few of his asso-
ciate.s,Y,,-ilvent to a magistrate, procured a state’s
\ warrarit‘ for the old gentleman, had him arrested
~‘ in the dead of night, and put under keepers ;
then, by

instead of _;aking.her to.thc magistrate’s, where

oring house, where the same magistrate who
1’! had issued the warrant for the father and sum-
mons for the daughteiyfsoon made his appear-
, once, and where, through much persuasion, the
girl was joined in wedlock. after which, the fa-
ther was sufi'er-etl to depart in peace to his own
house. What a blessing is a free government 1 l

The following cut-ions circumstance is said to
' have occurred at Plattsburg, in l8l3, when the
£ll.>e§.‘:;¢,(, which made such havoc in the north-
ern arnly, during the war, was most prevalent
among the troops -at that place. ‘
1 The surgeon, one morning going his rounds
'5 through the hospital, happened by some error of
4, judgment, arising probably from"h-urcy and press
1': of business, to pronounce one of his patients dead,
who was, it « seems, only in a profound sleep,—
~ The man indeed showed no signs of life. Jona-
- ‘ than having been aclever fellow,and consequent-
ly a favorite of the company, his comrades resol-
ved to make some exertions to give him a chris-
j ti-an burial, which had been necessarily denied to
most of those who died here at this time. Ac-
conclingly having procured some boards from a
neighboring barn, they formed a rude box as a
;‘ substitute for a coffin, placed the body in it, and
with all due solemnity carried it in procession to
l‘the grave. The scene now would soon have
_ been closed, and‘Jonathan lefrto his dreams ;—-—
l but just as they were about to let down the body
A ‘linto the grave, another of their comrades arrived
in great haste, and begged them to delay the in-
terment a few" minutes, as he had something ve-
ry important to say. Theniaking a conspicuous
station, he began to hold forth in terms appropri-
ate to the occasion. He told them that death
was certain and life uncertain ; which selfevident
propositions he demonstrated with many ingen-
ious arguments. ‘
Then, from general remarks, he proceeded to
calltheir attention to the peculiar subject of his
speech, the deceased. Here all the merits which
his friend had possessed, and many more were
called ‘forth, and displayed in due order, and he
concluded his eulogium, by hinting his intention
of raising a monument to his memory. Thus
*3 i 1 he found matter enough to desc-ant upon for 15
or 20 minutes: but the sequel will show that
jspeech was not merely it vain display of empty
words. The orator having arrived at a proper
climax, gradually lct himself down again: and
when he thought he had prepared the minds of
1, his auditors, and removed from them any super-
, stitious nqtj_Q_ns, that might stand in his way, he
)l'0CCe(lC(l -to lay before them a proposition which
. vas the subject and end of ‘his discourse. It
V 5 l-seems that the bl_anket of the deceased was per-
. tfectly new and unsoilcd ; and the orator said it
.; I‘ " s a pity so fine a piece of goods should be suf-
" .-red to perish in the earth, when an old one an-
’ ‘ I ‘vered the purpose as well ;-—that his own had
len much hard service, and was no longer fit

rades. ~
It happened that Jonathan having finished his \
nap, awoke just at the conclusion of the speech,
and having removed the lid of his box, which for
lack of nails, had not been fastened, he lay lis-
tening to the proceedings about him. ‘_l\‘ow,’
said the speaker, ‘ if the company have no object-
ions, I will take Jon-athan’s blanket for my'us'e,
and he may be buried in mine.’ ‘ And if the
company have no objections,’_ said Jonathan, ris-
ing up, ‘ I’ll be buried in my own blanket!’

LOTTERY. A
CLASS I.
YE 'rlE object for which this Lottery was grant-
, ed by the Hon. General Assembly" is well
known, and hardly needs any comment ; howev-
er, for the more general information of such‘ as
are not perfectly acquainted with the circur'nst‘an-
ces, the Managers have thought proper to ob-
serve. that the Episcopal Society in Fairfield was
at the commenct-.ment of the revolutionary war‘
blessed with a handsome Church, completely lin-
ished, and painted inside and out, with an elegant
set of plate for the communion service, and fl
handsome library ; also, a large and elegant Par-
sonage-House, with qut—houst’.'s, fences, Sac.
which were all destroyed by fire, or carried away
at the time the town of Fairficld was burnt, in
the year 1779 by the British troops under Tryon,
which so impoverished the society that they have
never been able to reinstate themselves ; and, as
all other Ecclesiastical Societies, and individuals,
who suffered losses by the enemy at that time, ,
nerated by the Hon. Legislature;,and at their
Spring Session, 1818, on the petition of the
Wardens and Vestry of the Episcopal Church
in Fairfield, to the Hon. General Assembly, they
granted a Lottery that might, in some measure,-
remunerate them also for their so long omitted
claims; and the Managers having given bonds
to the State for the faithful discharge of their
trust, beg leave to offer the following Scheme,
which they confidently hope will meet the public
approbation. .

A more favorable Scheme for the Adventurer, .
We presume to say, was never ofi"ercd to the pub-
lic. The one now Offered contains more high \
prizes than Schemes in general of'this amount;
and it will be observed that a person can obtain
two Tickets for the same money that will buy
but one in a Scheme of any other description.--
Consequently the Adventurer will have two chan-
ces for the high Prizes to one in any otl’.t~::rI._.otte-,
ry.
Part of the above Prizes will be determined in
the following manner, viz. . .
The first drawn numbers, ‘on the l0=.h, Seth,
and 20th‘ days dt-awings will be entitfial tt,§_‘,:ct;0
each, and the first drawn nuiriLJei- on the 13:11
day will be entitled to $3000. g

at Mr. Knapp’s Hotel in Fair lield ; and 500 num-
bers will constitute one day’s drau ing which will
regulate the stationary prizes. All prizes not:
called for in one year will be consideretl as geri-
erously given to the society, and will not there-
after be paid.
