A country clergyman in Kent was paralysed by apoplexy in 1761, and struck by lightning about a year after, when all of the -paralyeis left him. A man who had lost the use of both arms, was guarding some animals in a field; lightning fell upon him, and when he came to his sensea he found that he could use both arms and hands. These are but a few out of many recorded instances. A variety of ailments besides paralysis hare been cured or ameliorated by the same agency, even blindness; for one Gardley, some time an actor at the Surrey Theater, who had been for many years blind of one eye, had bis sight quite restored by a lightning flash.—Scientific American.Mr. Butler—"Did General Thomas thereupon admit that what you had iworn to waa the trfcth V NITROUS OXIDE GAS.

Somk of Mr. Johnson's more unscrupulous partisans are recklessly asserting that impeachment has had an effect to lower the price of our bonds abroad, and to cause a return of them to our American markets.
