Sheep Killed by lightning. 
A correspondent writing from Lima, Living¬ 
ston county,says: 
During a thunder shower which passed over 
part of the town on the 30th ult., a number of 
sheep belonging to Justus Lyon, had taken 
shelter under a tree to avoid the heat, and while 
thus huddled together, a stroke ot lightning 
killed twenty-three of the number. Mr. Lyon 
had left the field in which he was plowing, and 
where the accident happened, only a few mo¬ 
ments before, and by that means, perhaps, was 
saved from a similar destruction. What seems 
not a little strange, is the fact that the tree un¬ 
der which the sheep were collected was entirely 
uninjured; two other trees, however, standing 
gome six or eight rods distant, were shattered to 
pieces. But little rain fell at the time of the 
electrical phenomenon. 
John Brown’s Tract— People frequently 
hear s| ortstnen speak of going to “ John Brown’s 
Tract,” and ask about its history. Those who 
have been there in June, know that it swarms 
with punkins, mosquitoes and black flies, as 
well as trout and deer. A writer in Putnam 
gives tliis condensed synopsis oi its history : 
“ More than fifty years ago, John Brown, Gov¬ 
ernor of Rhode Island, bought 200,000 acres ol 
wild land in Herkimer and Hamilton counties, 
near the waters of Moose river, for the purpose 
of opening and carrying on the iron bu iness.— 
A colony was sent on, 3,000 acres of land clear¬ 
ed up, veins of iron ore found and opened, and 
a forge built. But the mines were not so pro¬ 
ductive as was expected, the soil cold, and much 
money was expended without a return or a pros¬ 
pect of one. The overseer sent out hy Governor 
Brown killed himself, the others became dis¬ 
couraged, and r the place was abandoned. At 
present one family by the name ot Arnold live 
there, occupying some 2,000 acres, run over 
with foot shrubs and wild grasses .”—Buffalo 
Courier. 
Important Purchase and Discovery.—W e 
learn from tlie Binghamton Daily Republican, 
that G. L. Colegrove, of the town of Union, in 
that county, recently purchased in Troops- 
burg, Steuben county. New Y’ork, 2004 aerts 
of laud, at $10 an acre, and has since fortunate¬ 
ly discovered on his new possessions cual and 
iron mines, and plaster richer than that of Cay¬ 
uga. He receives from the State $5,000 boun¬ 
ty, as the first discoverer of coal in New York. 
He has been offered and refused $50,000 for his 
property. The mines seem to be excellent and 
inexhaustible, but the extent of his good fortune 
and that of the State remains to be ascertained. 
Mr. Colegrove’s mines are only about (Ho miles 
from the N. Y. & Erie Railroad.— Utica Gazette. 
Mammon Triumphant. —The New York Times, 
speaking of the conversion of down town 
churches to business purposes, says: 
In 1821, a large house of worship was erected 
in Grand street, corner ot Mercer, by the Asso¬ 
ciate Presbyterians; within a few weeks the in¬ 
side has been cleared out and filled up with 
stall-:, making of it a line livery-stable. Sever¬ 
al old churches on Bleecker. Duane, and other 
down town streets are shut up. Two buildings 
in Nassau street, which were formerly Baptist 
and Dutch Reformed Churches, are now used, 
une as an eating house, the other as a sarsapa¬ 
rilla depot. The burning of the Broome street 
church adds another to these ravages of time. 
Narrow Escape. —In Stoddard, New Hamp¬ 
shire, several days since, two or three hundred 
acres belonging to the Stoddard Glass Company 
were burned over by fire. While the fire was 
burning, Mr. Curtis Hunt attempted to drive a 
team laden with goods to the amount of $700, 
through a road which passed by the woods.— 
The flames were then some ten rods distant.; 
but a strong gust of wind drove them so rapid¬ 
ly that he was forced to quit the wagon and fly 
for liis life, saving only one of his three horses, 
The other horses, with the wagon and goods, 
were destroyed. Mr. Hunt himself barely es¬ 
caped, his shirt being burned from bis back, and 
liis face and hands blistered. The horse which 
he saved was badly burned. 
Sharp. —A countryman was passing along 
one of the streets of Baltimore with his wagon 
a few days since, when one of his wheels came 
off, and he discovered that a finch-pin was gone. 
After searching for it some time, be offered the 
boys who congregated a shilling to find it.— 
They then joined in the search, and in a few 
minutes one of them brought him what lie sup¬ 
posed to be the pin. Having adjusted the wheel, 
lie paid the shilling and started off, but had not 
gone more than half a block before a wheel on 
the other side came off, when he discovered that 
the young rascal had stolen llic pin from one of 
the oilier wheels, to obtain the reward. 
Treasure found at Harlem. —Some two or 
three thousand silver dollars have just been 
found at Harlem, New York, the history of 
which is as follows:—Samuel Benson, the own¬ 
er of the estate during the Revolution, removed 
up to Fishkill, and before leaving, buried this 
money on his farm, and planted a tree over it 
to mark the spot. Soon the tree died, and was 
removed by liis servants, and as the ground had 
been plowed and harrowed over, the treasure 
was lost. The other day, five workmen, two 
Germans and three Irishmen, found the money, 
and filling their pockets with it, all raw off.
