LIGHTNING RODS.
Mr. Editor :—The extraordinary damage sus-
tained front lightning during the late storm
would séétii to be a suflicient premonition to
such as are provided with no safeguard front its
effects. Not a season passes without the destruc-
tion of a nutnbcr oflives and a considerable
amount of‘ property by thunder storms ; and
while injuries oftliis nature are so frequent and
such simple protections available, it is matter of
great wonderment that so few resort to thetrt.
But, what is still rrriire surprising, individttals
who actually erect lightning rods. pay so little
regard to their consfruciion, that very many
aflitrd little more than an imaginary protection.
This general inatten‘ion to the construction and
erection cfrods. induc-s us to suggest to your
readers some of the runs: approved methods. by
attending to \\ liich. the ihttnder storm may be
disrobed ofall its danger and all its terrors.
The following are the rules necessary to he
attended to in erecting a rod which will insure
perfect safety.
It should be constructed ofone continuous rod
of wrought iron. at least 3 ofait inch in diameter,
and should be pointed both at the top and bot
tom. It should enter the earth to the depth of
and a dry a greater depth. That portion of the
rod which enters the earth should be surrourided
by coarsely powdered charcoal. which at once
furnishes an excellent conductor and protects
the metal frotn corrosion.
The rod should ascend above the ridge ofthe
building to a height to be determined by the
following principle: that it will protect a space
in every direction frotu it. whose radius is equal
to twice its height. \Vheu practicable. it should
be attached to the chimney, which requires pe-
culiar pt'otet'tion on account of its_ prominence.
smoke. ratified air, and soot. The points at
each end ofthe rod should be fine and protected
from rust hya covering ofgold leaf. or else they
should be made if solil silver or pltitiria. The
rod should be painted to prevent rust, with
‘black paint. the bases of \\ hich being charcoal or
lampblacti, are good conductors. It should go
asdtreci to the ground as possible. for tho charge
will frequently take a shorter route through a
worse conductor, than a lcngt-r route ilirouglt a
better. \Vooden stays are preferable to iron in
case of an extraordinary discharge. Rods thus
constructed have always proved a so re safeguard.
The rod now ‘most approved by elcctriciaiis is
made in the following manner.
which rises above the building. beginning
about two feet from the ridge, should be made
of a square rod twisted till it appears something
like a coarse screw. and terminated in a single.
line. gold plttlctl point. The remaining part of
the rod should be round, srnooih. and kept
painted black. It should be attached by wood-
en siays. arttl alwttys__s_ei from fivgto ten feei___in
the ground. ending a sqttailre rod twisted
and pointed like the top. The whole part in-
serted in the earth protected by being surroutid-
ed by cltart-oal. The cost ofa rod is trifling, and
the satisfaction and security felt during one
thunder storm sufficiently compensates for the
expenditiire.
"Buildings" says Professor Olmslead. “fur-
nished with lightning rods have occasionally
bceti struck with lightning, btit on examination
it ltas always been found that the structure of
the rod was defective, or that too mttcb space
was allotted for it to protect. \Vhen the proper
rules are observe.-l. the. most entire confidence
may he reposed in this method ofsecuriug safety
in thunder storms."
To be without a rod is sufficiently dangerous,
much more so. to be under an inefficient one.
This consideration ought to induce every person
to use especial care in securing a complete safe-
guard. lwill here suggest to the society of St.
Paul's Church, in ottr village,i'ihat ifthey wish
to insure their beatttifnl building from the I fleets
cf lightning. the point of the conducting rud
should be placed in contact with the-foot of the
spindle or shaft bearing the vane. As it is, a
discharge would he sure to pass through the stee-
ple instead of following the rod.
Although the only sure protection is the rod,
yet there are very many precautions which or-
dinarily will secure us from danger. A horizon-
tal position is safer than an erect ; and shelter
under trees or a lustre hanging from the ceiling.
or near a meialic substance or stream of water
should beavoided. Whatever situation be Chosen
any approach to the chimney or sides of a build-
ing, or to an open door or window. should be
particularly guarded against. The most secure
situation is in the middle of the room. which
may be rendered more so by standing on a
matress, or thick woollen rug. If we draw a
bed from the walls and fling ourselves on it,very
little danger need be apprehended. But every
person who wishes to gaze fearlessly on the
magnificent scene—to admire the wondrous
strength. sublimity and beauty of the stormy
contention oftlte elements, must provide his
httdildltlg with a properly constructed lightning
ro .
The following occurrences. says’ the Phila-
delphia correspondent oftheJournal of Com. of
the 18th inst., will show the condition ofthings
among the poor in our city. On Tuesday
morning. a poor white man was detected by a
butcher taking a piece of meat from his stand
in Market street. He begged to be let off;
pleading his poverty and the sufleringofhis fam-
ily fiir want of bread. An offer was made by a
gentleman to pay the price ofthe beef,,wbich
the butcher declined taking. at the same tiute
saying “I will make him a present of it, as no
doubt his case is a hard one.”
A circusnstanee of a similar character occur-
ml 135: wet It, but the butcher instead ofsiop-
ping the man, quietly followed him to his home.
and upon going into the house, was astonished-
io see the children of the poor fellow grecdily
devouring the raw meat, with an avidity that
could only arise from famine, while the father

sat looking on uumindful of his own suffering.
This was too mttch for the sensibilities of the
butcher. who left the house with precepiiation.
but soon returned, having successfully exerted
himselfio procure relief for this starving family.
Tim Coitittii-:Nci~:aii-:i\"r at New Haven is
spoken of very favorably by the journals of
that city. The concourse of visitors including
thealumni. was very nurrt erons. The degree
of A. B. was conferred on the 103 young gen-
tlemen ofthe graduating class. The degree of

dent richly deserves impeachment! There
is not even a pretext of its unconstitutionalitv
advanced in the titessage. So far from itthe
bill is simply one of revenue——passed in
proper form after great and patient labor
in exact conformity with the seventh and
eight sections of the Constitution, the first of
which reserves to the House of Representa-
tives excfusitrclgx the right “to originate all
bills for raising revenue ;” and the second
of which confides to Congress e.7:clusirel_2/
"the power to lay and collect taxes, duties
and imposts,”&c. There being therefore,
no pretext of unconstitutionrtlity in regard to
any one provision of the hill, whatever ob-
j--ctions in any or all respects the President
ml',"lll have entertained to any or all of its
provisions, he had no right to arrest its pas-
sage by a resort to the extreme me asure of
the veto, "I forbid.”

Consumption & Liver Complaint.
R. 'I‘AYLOR’S Balsam of Liv-
- cr'WoI't.—This Medicine is really doing
wonders. Never, within medical history. has
thcre been :1 medicine which could perform so
miraculous a cure as this is daily doing. Con-
sumption seems disarmed of its terrors. and
LiverComplaitit vanishes at once when this
admirable vegetable preparation is used. For
eight. years has this-remedy maintained its
position against every species of imposition,
fraud and counterfeit.
Tickling in the‘ Throat.-I know Dr
'l‘a_y_lors’s Balsam of Liverwott It) be a certain
remedy for this complaint, as I have used it
myself and found its effects intinediate. I
was much troubled"uniill made use of this
medicine. M. L. Htcusiiriw, 211 Mangin st.
[IvaI'.SfLll6S8—(3llI’C(l---F0!‘ the cure of
ltoarseness I can strongly rccommendDr. Tay-
lor's Balsam of Liverwort. I ltave not only
found great benefit, but many of my congrega-
tion by my r.-.-commendation ltave received great
benefit from its virtue. It is at once mild, effl-
cacious and harmless. Rev. Az. LEWIS.
Severe Coughs and Colds,—I have bad a
most severe cold and cough for a long time
which I could notget rid of. After using many
uselessihings l tried Taylor’: Balsam of Li-
verwort, antlit cured me in a few days.
JAS. B. KERRINOCK. -.-
Raising ofBload.--About two weeks ago I
had a fall. which caused me to spit large quan-
tities ofbloo , which nothing could cure until
I tried Doctor Taylor’s Balsam of Liverwort.
The medicine gave me immediate ieliefand in
a very short time effected an entire cure. Let
all persons try it.
HUGH Me GARVEY, 22 Cannon st.
SUM MER COMPLAINT.- The Balsam
of Liverwori in several cases of this disease,
where all other remedies applied by physician,
have proved ineffectual, has produced a perfect
curn.
SURPRISING CURE OF CONSUMP-
TION ——Mr. R. Gladdin, of Delhi, N. Y. of a
naturally consumptive constitution, has been
saved from an untimely end by the use ufDr..
Taylor's Balsam of Liverwort. A severe cold
brought on an attack of Pleurisy. and thus
ended in general debility and consumpiion.,A:..2

quick pulse. and continued loss of flesh. auger-
ed a speedy death ; but as soon as I commen-
ced the use of this Balsam I grew better, anci-
airr now frilly restored to health.
SHORTNESS OF BR.EA'l‘H.—For this
disease. I have always found Dr.'l‘aylor's Bal
satrt of Liverwort an excellent remedy. It is
at once so safe and so eflective, that I always
use it in my practice. and recommend it to my
friends. I have used it in some hundreds of
cases within the past four years, and Ihavo-
trever had it fail. I'ri many cases of asthma. l.
frilly believe it to have been the means ofsav-
ing precious lives. Let all rise ii.
