seventeen of the best physicians in the city,
if; not in thewhole State. The names of
" those connected with the hospital are as fol-
lows: It will be noticed that Mr. Keyser’s
modesty has kepL ‘his own out of it in any
capaCIty. Agnes Nicole Superintendent ;
Dr. Samuel Kennedy, House Physician;
Mrs. S. H. K nnedy, Superin endent of
wards; Dr. Mathew D. Mann, Dr. E. L.
Tredeau, Assistant Physicians (lnternes) ;
Dr. Delilah S. Irish, Druggist. The follow-
ing list comprise the names of the “Medical
Staff of the S:r.tngers Hospital” Dr. F. N.
Otis, president; DruH. B. Sands, secretary ;
Dr. W. H. Draper, Dr. '1'. G. Thomas, cou-
sultiug Board ; Dr. Millard . Parker, Dr. I.
M. Markoe, and Dr. F. J. Bumstead, con-
stlting Surgeons; Dr. Alonzo Clark, Dr. J.
T. Metcall‘ ’and Dr. E. R. Peaslee, consul.-
ing Physicians.
In conclusion we would state but Mr.
Keyser, with a noble hi-ariedness that re-
flects great honor and credit upon himself,
refuses any assistance whatever from others
in' maintaining the hospital of which he is
the Lpatron," although, when the same is
filled with those whom it is intended to ac-
commodate, the yearly expenses will not fall
short of at least $40,000, all of which he is
determined to pay from his own private .re-
sources. Less than half of the patients who
are admitted are allowed to pay, but it is
provided that if more worthy people widt-
out money shall apply than the hospital
when full will accommodate, room must le
made for them from the list of pay patients.
The only other hospital in the city of a
like character to Mr. Keyser‘s is St. Luke’s.
which accommodates only 180 patients (the
former will hold nearly 250 if necessary) at
o. yea ly cost of $47,000.”

Ten-Inc Thunderstorm.
On Saturday afternoon .we were visited
by one of the most terrific and destructive,
thunder and lightning storms wjé ever re-g
member to have witnessed. Thin-e seems
to have been two electrical storms hurling
themselves through the sky with angry ve—
locity and destructive grandeur. . The one: _
apparently moving out of the north anti.1
driving to the southwest, and the other tend-
ing from the northeast to the south west and
uniting their electrical forces, apparently,
and as seen from here, in the vicinity of our
lower bay and Five Mile River. The inces-
sant flashing and crackling of the lightning
and continuous reverberations of thunder,
reminded one more of the fierce artillery
duels which generally prefaced the terrible
infantry charges at Gettysburg, than any or-
dinary thunder storm. '
The injury done ‘to property is quite ex-
tensive, the destruction of tinimals, and a
noble human life, are unusual and sad.
The nearest bolt of which we have knowl-
edge struck the house of Mrs. Lyon on the
corner of Franklin Avenue a'nd Elm Street
It coursed down the chimney, knocked out
the tire-board, and crashed several panes of
glass,'apparently flying through the window
to the Outside and into the earth The es-
cape of the family from injury was rdnark.
able. The next nearest place of which we
have information, was the floor-timbers in
the northeast corner of thencw Woodward
building at South N o'rwalk. ItfolIOWed the
stair-headers through . the adjoining wall
southward into the new opera house,-por-
tion of the black, from thence it passed t6
the cellar and into the earth. It did no se-
rious injury to the building, but two Irish-
laborers, who had taken refuge in the cellar
to escape_ the rain had a most providential
escape, and came tearing out in’greatcon-
stet-nation. y
Across the harbor at Gregory’s Point, the
house of Edward Kellogg, the ship yard
smith, was struck, the fluid taking-off a por-
tion of the chimney and ripping up the roof
and thence dashing down through a cup-
board to the cellar and fortunately, injuring
[10 one. _
A large maple tree in front Of Benjamin
Reed’s, place, on the Ely’s Neck road, w‘ns
struck and ruined.
Another tree in front of the rcsidenceof
Joshua Jennings, on Roton Hill, was struck
and demolished. ' .
A valuable pair of cattle belonging to
- William R. Lockwood' were struck and in-
stantly killed. while grazing in an open field
near the residence of Major Hoyt, on Rotor:
Hill. ~ .
The barn of Lyman Knapp,at Ely’s Neck,
was struck, and his horse killed in its- stall,
but the fluid seems to have passed ‘out to
the earth without doing other injury.
The large burn on the old Captain Wnlms-
ley place, near Five Mile River, and now
belonging to his sons William and Stephen
Walmsle , was struck and set on fire, and
with itscontents'was entirely consumed. It"
contained one wagon and cart, about eight
tons of bay 'and one hundred bushels of.
wheat and rye. Loss about $1,200.- No in-
surance.
The house of Mr. Vincent Colycr, at Ro-
wayton, was also struck, the lightning de-
scendinchbimney and; tearing the walls 011'
a room, near where several, persons were
sitting, but' fortunately no one was injured.
The most distressing event, however,- was
experienced on the water in Wilson’s Cove,
near the west shore:
llills,—~sou of Smith Mills, Esq.,—with his
brother Oscar and three other young men,
were on board their oyster boat, awaiting
a cessation of the storm to go to - their
homes. Theodore, leaving his companions
below, proceeded .on deck, and taking a
broom in his hand was sweeping off the
deck, remarking as the lightnings were
crackling above their heads, that “ we had
better get out of this.” He had scarce ut-
:ered the Words, when _a bolt shivered the
mast of their little craft and striking Theo-
dore" on the back of his head, paSScd
down his spine, and of course killing him
instantly. - The bolt also came tearing
through the deck and into the little cabin,
upsetting the stove, knocking out the btilk
head and sinking the boat. The three be-
low, instantly sprang abov:-, when they
found Theodore dead, and his body thrown
iverboard, in water about two feet deep, by
the force of the shock. Even in death, his
nstincts seemed to have asserted themselves
for his right arm was thrown over the boat
0
turface. Oscar was slightly stunned, but
otherwise the rest of the party escaped an-
injured. A gentleman who saw from the
Wilson House, the bolt which shivered the
masts, says it appeared like a broad sheet
Jf liquid fire, some eighteen inches wide
pouring down out of the sky in ,a direct
line from overhead. ' . .
Young Mills was 25 years of age, and
leaves a wife and one child to mourn his un-
imely end. He was universally beloved,
~itd was a man in whose heart there was no
:uile. His funeral is to be attended 1 v-day,
Monday), at 2 p. m., at the Five Mile River
311. E. Church. The whole community decp-
ly syntpiithize with the afflicted family. and
the terrible event has cast a wide-spread
»:loom among his numerous companions and
friends. '

Again has the chief city of the Western
Hemisphere been the scene of aprutal and
murderous riot. ’As on a lormpy’notablgq
‘ occasion, if the city government :did not d5;
rectly incite to the outbr'eak,its pnsillanimitf“
gave encouragement and license to? the pa
sions of the rowdy class, so patent and
indispensable at all municipal elections.
When it was given out that the Orangginenh
would publicly parade on the 12th of J tily,
as the Hibernian and St. Patrick societies
had done on the 17th Of April, and as the
Germans had done 'in'- honor. of the' tri-
umph of King William, the baser sort Of
Irish rowdies, rummies, bullies, and ti lives,
to the disgust of their priests and all decent
Catholics, began to threaten and pr pare for
the assault and murder of their fellow
countrymen. Then it was that the city au-
thorities should have notified these bullies
that ' all men, of whatever creed or color,
should enjoy equal rights in New York city,
and these rights should be guaranteed them
With all the power of the City, State and
National governments. Had this course
been pursued we should have been spared
the sickening details of a hundred and .more
shot down in the streets, and men, women
and children, killed and inamined‘tn restore
peace and outraged justice. But instead of
this, it would seem that the city magnates sat
themselves down to calculate with the mpst
demagogtical coolness, what course of pro-
cedure would add the most votes to the dc‘s—'
perate fortunes of the “ ring.” And. most
wretched and pitiable work did they make.
of it, vieWed in no oiher'light. than that of
a partizan endeavor to win votes from the
strongest side. The deluded desperadoes,
tnaddened by rum and encouraged by their
seeming triumph in the issuing of the police
order forbidding the Orange ptirade,becatn_e
so insutl‘erably insolent. and arrogant in- their, _
demonstrations, as to disgust all decent peo-
ple, of every shade of religious and political
opinion, and after having held out to the.
last possible moment, Gov. Hofi‘inan is co-
erced and shamed into a-revocation of the
Mayor’s order, at a moment, and under cir-
cumstances to certainly ensure a collision,if
any attempt at a parade were made. It: was
made, and the result is before the country,
and the intelligent people will not err in ap-
propriately placing the responsibility for all
its ghastly details. It is sad to contemplate
that many innocent persons have sacrificed
their lives. with the guilty, and.that in all
probability, the most guilty, have, escaped,
punishment altogether. TwO soldiers of the
9th regiment, N. G. were killed outright;
while several of the military and numerous
policemen were seriously injured. Sunday

though seemingly an‘ing‘lot’ious place 'fOr' a
soldier to die, these noble men have as truly
given their lives to the maintaince of Liber-
ty, as any of the heroes of our war. If
Irishnien, or men of any nationality, will
seek homes in liberty-loving America, and
bring with them the feuds of a deadpastdhey
Must and will be brought to learn that the
same fl'eedom they arrogate to- themselves,
must and shall be accordedto theirneigb-
bors. No other sentiment can be permitted
to find a place in this land of freedom and
equality before lhe law; If this lesson shall
have been fully learnei by the murderous
rowdies of New York. it will be well. 'But

further waged by these cottages of th'e p ;ace_

fishing. Blue. fish were plenty, and. sport
good, but Spanish mackerel were not for

_ The Silver Tongue.
Quite a large party of ladies and genlemen
aesembled, a few evenings since, at a private
residence in Fifth Avenue, for the purpose of
hearing one of Carhart & N eedham’s Parlor
Organs manipulated by it celebrated compo.
ser and performer. It was a delightful treat
to all.prcsent, for few were aware how vast
a stride has been made toward bringing
these charming instruments to perfection.
Among the guests, was an English lady, Who
is well known in America and Europe as a
writer of popular tales and sketches, but
more particularly, on this side of the water,
its a poetess of" distinction. Her name will
probably suggest itself to our readers , for,
perhaps, it_ would not be in good taste to in-
troduce itin this connection.- After listen—
ing, in almost breathless attention, through
several thrilling performances by the organ-
ist. M , and being carried from pathos
and sadness to a depth of solemnity and
grandeur at the will of the player—.sonte-
times swaying to and fro to‘ graceful meas-
ures of the music, and again seeming spell-
bound by the enchanting strains which filled
the lofty music room—Madam S arose
from her ‘seat, and, approaching the organ,
laid her hand on it caressingly, saying ’as
she did so: “Sweet Singer, thy name should
versation, the same lady declared that, in all
her trpvels, she had . never listened to so
charming an instrument. The host pro-
clattned his beautiful and incomparable par-
lor organ rc-christ’ened, and promised that
bendet'orth‘it shOuld be known only as“'l‘be
Silver'Tougue.” W'hen Messrs. Carliart dz
Neednam, the manufacturers of the instru-
ment. in question, are made aware of the hon-.-
or thus bestowed 'iipb‘n’o‘ue of their inven-
none, they will doubtless adopt the name.
In this event, we may look for a new sign.
soon, on the broad front of“. their factory in
Twenty-third Street, having something lit-e
the following: Manufacturers of the C'C’lcbi’d-

idea. So much for having pleased a poctess;
and who shall ask, “What’s in a name?"
