Tux Star Route Inquiry. Attorn General MacVeagh and Postmaster General Jamea are devoting a great deal of time to the consideration of the details of the various branches of the star route inquiry, preliminary to submitting additional matter to the Grand Jury.

The probability is that the case will be thoroughly prepared, and that the Grand Jury will enter upon serious consideration of it next week. The main indictments which will be found, if any are found, will be under the doc appear that those who have gone throogh this training are, as a general rule, brighter, more capable, more accomplished than those who have not. They can solve dilneultiet in life more easily, think more clearlv, calculate probabilities with better forecast, adjust means to ends with better judgment. It' this is so, and few intelligent persons wilt deny it, then every father will want his boy to have this trainiog. George, then, shall go to the high school, if 1 can afford to send him, farmer or no farmer.

Here he will carry forward the studies of which he learned the rudiments in the common schools. He will carry the study of mathematics onward to those problems which are not less practical because they are more abstruse. He will tro more thoroughly into the stndy of bis IMMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH. Immense as are the numbers of immigrants daily landed on our shores from every country of the old world, it is a little singular that the Southern States, with their milder climate and less laborious methods of agriculture should hitherto have succeeded in attracting so small a number of these new additions to our population, who appear to be irresistibly attracted to the newer regions of the northwest, where the bare conditions of living are so much harder. One reason for this is undoubtedly the persistence of the great railroad companies, which are also large landowners, and which have flooded every corner of Europe with maps and circulars and advertisements of the most alluring description, atd, having once started the flow of immigration in their direction, have used every effort to keep it up.

The South has lacked the capital, as well perhaps as the energy, to adopt any such extensive measures, though greatly needing intelligent labor to develop her immense agricultural resources. South Carolina has at length begun to move however in the direction of an organized effort to turn a part of the Btream of incomers to her own borders. Her Commissioner of Immigration has been authorized by the State to offer to desirable settlers free transportation from New York, and free gifts of lands for PBODUOB MABKBTB. New York, May 31.

BP" The cold weather of the early spring had one good effect at least, it either killed or discouraged the canker worms in this vicinity, and the foliage of the trees is in consequence unusually luxuriant. 7 The Hudson River Tunnel at New York is progressing favorably. The south tunnel is now out 450 feet under the river, and tbe north tunnel about Su'O feet.

It is expected that the tunnel will be finished, ready for travel, by the summer of 1883. An attempt was made on Sunday last to wreck tbe afternoon train from Boston on the Concord Railroad. A sleeper was placed across the track just below Hooksett, which was struck by the engine, but no injury was done, as the speed was slackened in time to avoid it. fy A Maine State Constable, specially appointed to enforce the liquor law about Fairfield and vicinity, instead of destroying confiscated liquors, retained possession of them and sold them to his friends, for which little irregularity tbe United States officers have arrested him. EtTThe icepack from the polar regions now moving southward in the Atlantic Ocean is unusually heavy, and the icebergs more numerous and larger than have ever before been observed.

As they pass directly across the track ot all steamers running between this country and Europe, great damage to navigation is certain for several weeks. tW A contract has just been closed in St. Louis for an experimental shipment of 30,000 bushels of spring wheat from St. Paul to Glasgow, Scotland, by barges to New Orleans, thence by steamer. If this shipment proves successful, others will follow, amounting perhaps to 1,000,000 bushels.

Tbe rate for this first shipment is 28 cents per bushel. C-lr' The Turner House and stables at Skow-faegan, with some twenty horses and other contents, llesselton's fancy-goods store, Chandler Tuttle's dwelling and stable, Stephen Coburn's tenement and stable, Charles Fair-bank's livery stable, Moore's paint-shop and Cayonett's blacksmith-shop were burned on Saturday. The loss will amount to about $50,000. tF Mythias, a civil engineer of the Denver and Ilio Grande, about the 25th of April, was impounded in the Gunnison county, at the head of the Roaring Forks, by snow and high water, and prevented from yoing south or north by Indians. A relief party was Bent from Leadville, and succeeded in rescuing the men in an almost famished condition, having been over thirty days almost without food.

3t The locuat plague is said to be ravaging the whole Chowan section of North Carolina, eating up the corn and cotton crops, and every kind ot vegetation and destroying whole forests of valuable sawmill timber by stripping the bark and depositing their eggs. The injury is said to be vast and incalculable. IT The descendants of Tristram Collin will assemble at Nantucket on the lfith of August to celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the landing of that ancient worthy on the island, 'i he festivities will continue three days, and will include clam bakes, processions, poems and orations, as well as the laying of the corner stone of a monument to Tristram Collin and his wife. F3 The final footings of the debt of all cities and towns in the United States having more than 7500 inhabitants have been made by Mr. R.

P. Porter, Chief of the Wealth, Debt and Taxation Division of the Census. The cities number 300, and the total bonded debt is floating debt, grand total, $1187,472,430. There are sinking funds amounting to $117,001,000, leaving the net debt of $570,471,373. tip" A Richmond, special says a Ku KIux pang, supposed from Darke county shot down two men in their doors at night in Darke county, and have given Mr.

Timmons, a farmer near Palestine, Preble county, notice to leave on penalty of death, alter having broken down his doors and destroyed his household goods, and have also served a similar notice on Mr. Kmerick, near the same placft. tlKxtensivc preparations are being made by the citizens of Sterling for the approaching centennial anniversary of the town, which occurs June 15ih. Five hundred printed invitations will be sent out by the committee to distinguished persons, natives of the town, and others. Salutes will be fired during the supply of sheep and lambs for efty trade for two weeks, after deducting 41G head for export is 670 per week.

While the cattle market was overburdened there were none too many of the latter. Lamb and muftoa Bell rather the best during the hot weather, but the meat market Is not at present very brink and we Bincerely hope that the orld's Fuir will be held In oar city to give a boom to our domestic market.

BOBTON WOOL MAHKKT. Monday, May 30, lgg). The business of the week has been a good average amounting lbs of all grades and qualities, a falling off from lust week of some 700,000 tbs. With the exports, however, the available stock has been reduced 2,3411,746 lbs. The demaud has been good and manufacturers are free buyers on Hie basis of present prices, but there is nothing in the tone of the market that would warrant an advance.

I here is considerable old Wool etill on hand, here and in the interior, suflicient to supply the wants of manufacturers for some weeks to come, while almost tbe entire clip ot the country hus yet to be marketed. In fact there has been very little doing In new Wools as yet except in California, and the movement in that market has been confined mostly to desirable lections I here has been no year for some yearn when much old Wool remained ou hand ut tin- end of a season, and with so abundant a Mipply now visible, there is no necessity to excite the market by mi unlive compel i I ion for the new clip Prlcm are very firm and well sustained for all desirable lots, but at any advance manufacturers would be likely to wilhdraw from the market. The new clip is also very lale, and in the meantime holders have been able to work oil" old stocks, ulthougb. there is quite a supply siill on hand. 'ihe London alert are progressing very favorably.

1 rices are Urm and I here is an active competition. In fuel a better ra.nge of prices Un-i been KU-tained than a-f expf-cted. From California we learn that prices are Hill kept up. From Texu-, K. ntuckv, Mis-souri and other points where new Wool lias made an appi arunce the movements are yet 1,1 linohd character, as there is no ntitrjfin ut the prices now uked.

In Maine, uiiwiMhfd Wools are selling at a'iyoc, and the best medium Maine in this mai ki will not command over 30c, unit mutd be choice to bring that price. There has also been some movement ia Wi.ftern Vlrginiaat 25iiU7c, but not to any extent, and in Ohio, Pennsylvania and oile e-ti rn Mates the new clip is near at hand. It i lenl, from the temper ot holders in the interior, ihut cheap Wool in the country is not iikeh- to be touiid 111 pnent, and it is doubtful if purchases now can be tu rued over at any profit.

kdited by fcpe bmrgent. This Is a very handsome volume of nearly 1000 pages octavo, made up of selections from the whole range of English poetry, from Chaucer to the present day, arranged in chronological order, and with brief biographical notices of the poets from whose works the selections are taken. Com-Dilations of this kind are always to a certain ex tent disappointing, and always more so, the great er the acquaintance of the reader with the litera ture which they represent, as the taste of the com piler will always lead him to leave outsome poems which the reader would include, and to include some which the reader would reject, perhaps for the very reason that they are so universally until iar. Mr. Sargent's taste however, is so broad and so catholic, and his acquaintance with English literature so comprehensive, that his volume leaves less in this respect to be objected to, than do most similar anthologies.

The brief biographies which precede the selections from each writer, are admir-bly condensed, and furniBh in a very few words as much information as to their subjects as is desirable or practicable in a volume of this kind. The index of authors and contents, and the index of first lines of the poems quoted, are full and well arranged, and the book as a whole will be wel comed by all students of English literature, as well as by the general mass of rcaderB who are content to have their reading picked out for them. Thk History ok a Mountain, by Kliflee Reclui, translated from the French by Bertha Nesa and tionn inline.

M.

Keclus com bines, in an unusual degree, the qualities of the poet and the scientist; and as those who have read his works on the Earth and the Ocean will remember, he has a faculty of conveying information in a very lucid and pleasing Btyle. The pres ent volume exhibits the same qualities as his more extended works, 'and it will be found a pleasant companion for summer rambles. Thk Young Nimkods in North Amkbk a Book for Boys: by I'lioniaa Knox. Mr. Knox's books for boys are always interest ing and attractive, and convey a good amount of information in geography and natural history in an easy incidental Bort of manner so that it is pretty sure to be remembered.

The present volume, which is profusely illustrated with cuts that have done duty before, and will be very familiar to older readers of Harper's Magalne especially, purports to contain the adventures of a pair of wide awake boys, with their Mentor, 'the Doctor' in hunting all kinds of game and fish, from foxes to grizzly bears and from trout to sperm whales, in all parts of the country, from the Adirondacks to Ala6ka. The boys will unanimously vote it 'a boss book," and will not be far out of the way in their judgment. Cohiolani's, the twenty-third of Mr. "William J. Rolfe's admirable edition of the plays of Shakespeare, is prepared with the same scrupu lous care in editing, and excellent judgment in the matter of notes, criticisms and explanations that have marked tho former volumes of the series and made them on the whole superior to any other edi tion for schools and for the use of private reading clubs, in which the necessity for a somewhat expurgated text is sometimes only too evident.

St. Nicholas for June is bright and fascinating as ever in every respect, and makes ono fairly re gret that his own boyhood'B days were passed in the dark ages of "Peter Parley" and "Merry's Museum," which, in our time, was the highest achievement of juvenile periodical literature. To properly appreciate St. Nicholas, one needs to get hold of a bound volume of some juvenile of thirty years ago or so, as a basis of comparison, both as regards artistic excellence and literary merit, Ono of the most notable changes is the abandonment of the "goody-goody" and severely didactic; writers for the young people having at length come to recognize the fact that children do not like to be preached to all the time, nor do they hanker after a steady diet of "instructive reading." Cheerfulness and a healthy enjoyment of life are not only more pleasing to children, but also in no way interfere with their proper moral and intel lectual training. It Is the full recognition of this fact by the editors of St.

Nicholas, that has made the Magazine so charming, and so successful at home and abroad. Blackwood's Magazine for May is an unusually brilliant number especially in its political papers. Mr. Gladstone's statesmanship is rather severely handled in an article on tho Budget; the Irish Land Bill Is thoroughly dissected in an article entitled The New Nostrum for Ireland; and tho Earl of Beaconslield is the subject of a brief and finely written eulogy. The opening paper of the number, on The Sword, is a most graceful and charm ing essay; and there is a very well told story, on-titled A French Speculation.

Thk New York Sknatoiisiups. The re sult of the first two days1 balloting in the New York Legislature, for successors to Messrs. Conkling and Piatt in the United States Sen ate, though not decisive, is still sufficiently so to make it perfectly evident to those two gen tlemen, that, in resigning their seats in the Senate, with the expectation of heing promptly sent back to them again with the endorsement of their constituents, they made a fatal mistake, and precluded themselves from further active participation in the national councils for some years at least, the first day's balloting being enough to show that the opposition to Mr. Conkling in the ranks of his own party associates was too great to be overcome. Of course Mr.

Piatt will share the fate of his leader, without whom he is nothing. The 6 nal development of the struggle will be awaited with great interest. The New Commishioneb. The Massachu setts Association at the national capital gave a complimentary dinner to the Hon. George B.

Shall he learn Ijitin Bhall a boy who may possibly be a farmer learn Latin Yon would think, to hear some meu talk, that there was something awful in the idea; that no farmer could expect to have his seed come up, or his cattle bring forth after their kind, who so far tempted Providence as to have learned uuin. lae answer win uepena, not on his nrosDect of being or not being a fanner, but on the means and disposition he may have, or I for him, to extend his education over several vears to come. If he aspires to be a thoroughly educated man, farmer or no farmer, he will need to learn Latin.

Of course all farmers cannot be thoroughly ed ucated men. In the present state of things few can aspire to that luxury. So far as concerns the great mass of farmers' sons in Vermont, my work is mainly done in urging them np to a good elementary and English high school education. But the question of going farther is an open one to a good number, to a much larger number than are aware ot tueir opportunity, ine point now is, mar if they are going much further they will need I-atin," Iwcause the study of Latin will make many other studies easier and more fruitful. 1 dwell on this question, because it comes up at the dividing line between what is called a practical ana a nnerai education.

More than any other question it brings parents to consider what education is, what it aims at, what It is good for. When a man comes to see that some study, Latin for instance, can be of no direct use to a merchant, or a manufacturer, or a farmer, and yet that the man may be more of a merchant, manufacturer, or farmer, and more of a man, tor having studied it, he gets a new conception of education which leads to important conse quences. I should like to have ueorge become a thoroughly educated man, farmer or no farmer, and if a good deal of exertion and sacrifice on my part will make that possible, he shall be. But most lives ere subject to limitations. If the way to that seem to be shut against him, he must make the most ot the opportunities rroviuence gives him, and even so may enjoy a great many of the pleasures and gains wmca only tne mgiiiy educated man enjoys in the fullest measures.

It is not necessary now to go on and discuss the ouestion whether George shall go to college, be cause the principles already settled in my mind will lead me to desire that he should go, if circumstances permit. 1 refuse to allow that the probability of his being a farmer will make any difference in the question. 1 can see no good reason why I should favor tho boy who is going to be a lawyer or a physician, over his brother who is going to be a farmer, by sending the one to college and not the other. It would be just as unfair as to leave twice as much of my property to the one as tne ottier. ine larmer neeus tne education as much, and can make as good use of it, as the law yer.

I admit that tho probability of his actually becoming a farmer grows less the more education yon give him, and that simply because bis education has given him the power to gain more of the desirable things of life with less work in Borne other way than by farming. But as the profes-Bions became more crowded, and competition grows fiercer, and as arming becomes less an operation of mere manual labor, and more one of skill and contrivance, more educated men will be attracted to agricnlture, and education will be come more and more the road to success and en joyment in this as in all other pursuits. Let us then, in cloning this part of the subject, rest it on this general principle thnt before we come to the special education which shall tit one to become a farmer, a professional man, or whatever else, we win give utni us extended and liberal an education as the circumstances will admit; the more, the better; the more thorough and scholar ly, tue hotter; tne more varied, tne better, pro vided cacu part ne borough tue more extended the better, certainly up to the time of his majority or even a year or two beyond. How much educa tion it is in the power of a Vermont farmer to give to his boys, will depend on how highavalue he sets on education, and how ambitious they are to get it. If from that small, stony New Hampshire farm, Ezekiel and Daniel Webster could find their way to college, the same faith and heroism in father and mother and boys, could make the way to college possible it is not necessary that it lie made easy from almost any farm in ermont.

CONCLUSION' NEXT WEJSK. IJcfo (Srajlanit Jwrntcr. BOSTON: SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1881. MEMOBIAL DAY. The making a legal holiday of Memorial Day, the 30th ot May, has bad the effect to render its observance this year much more general in Massachusetts than it has ever been belore, not alone in the closing of workshops and stores and the cessation of ordinary business, but in the deeper and more solemn ser vices to which the day is devoted, of the re assembling of old companions in arms, whose numbers decrease so rapidly from year to year, and paying the touching tributes of honor and affection at the steadily widening circle of the graves of those to whose patriotic de votion we are bo largely indebted for the safety and perpetuity of our institutions.

In many places in the Commonwealth the ceremony of decorating the graves, which had been allowed to fall into disuse, was revived, and everywhere the key note struck by the proclamation of his Excellency Governor Long was heartily and enthusiastically responded to. In this city the celebration of the day was especially memorable. Labor and business were almost universally suspended the government departments were of course closed the banks did not open their doors, and such few places of business as were opened in the morning found no customers, and were obliged, before the day was far advanced to fall into line with the rest, and put up the shutters. Early in the day the various Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic, which organization has taken upon itself the duty of caring for the soldiers' graves in the cemeteries in and about the city, proceeded quietly and with little show to perform the ceremony of decoration, holding also appropriate services at the Army and Navy Monument on the Common and at the public Soldiers' Monuments in the outlying wards. The great feature of the das however was the parade of the Grand Army in the afternoon and the exercises at Tremont Temple.

The veterans were escorted by the First Battalion of Cavalry, the Ninth Regiment of Infantry and the First Corps of Cadets of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, and the City Government by a detachment of the Boston School Regiment. The memorial services at the Tremont Temple were interesting and impressive. The music was furnished by a select chorus of pupils of the public schools, an ode written for the occasion by Col. T. V.

Iligginson was read, and an oration delivered by Governor Long, marked by a gracefulness of diction and depth of feeling far in advance of the average of such productions, and which was listened to with great attention and hearty applause. THE NOHFOLK COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. A convention of representative farmers from the dilTurent towns of Norfolk County was held at Walpole on Thursday of last week to consider the details of the proposed first exhibition of the new Norfolk County Agricultural Society. President John I). Emmons of Walpole was chairman and Henry E.

Craig of Walpole was Secretary. The prospects of the new society were fully discussed. The convention was addressed by the presidents of different farmers1 clubs in the county, and an interest in the movement was assured from a number of towns. It was stated that Highland Lake grove in Norfolk could be procured of the New York New England railroad corporation free of expense for the first exhibition, providing a percentage of the gate receipts be returned to the railroad company, which agree to run trains to and from the grove at reduced fare. It was voted to hold an annual exhibition at Highland Lake grove in September next, or in such other place as the executive committee may think advisable.

The executive committee chosen was as follows Jeremiah Hale of Med field, C. II. Mayo of Wellesley, Col. George W. Naaon of Franklin, Alexander M.

Ilrown ot Walpole, Maj, Charles F. Howard of Fox-boro. The committee is to select a large list from each town in the district, which shall constitute committee of Anangements for the forthcoming fair.

One reason for the slow progress thus far made in the presentation of different persons for indictment is the extreme difficulty in obtaining evidence to prove conspiracy. The indications are that some of the leading con tractors have proposed to turn State's evidence.

Without some such aid the Govern-ment will have much more difficulty in sus taining such prosecution, as great care has been taken to see to it that the official records of the Post Office Department are prima facie correct. Baking Robbery. A bold and successful robbery was perpetrated last Monday evening at Nortonville, Kansas. Three masked men entered the store of McCarthy Hogson, in which at the time were McCarthy, one of his clerks, two ladies and two little girls. The robbers drew revolvers and commanded the inmates to keep quiet.

One of the thieves proceeded to the safe, one took his post at the door, and the third kept guard over the occu pants. While the robbers were thus occu pied, two of the clerks, who had been out, returned, and were at once taken charge of by the sentinel at the door. The safe contained between $12,000 and $14,000 in cash, and this the robbers carried off. They worked silently and quickly, and after securing the money walked backward out of the store, warning the occupants to not look outside for an hour or they would be shot. Colokado Customs.

On Thursday of last week the west-bound stagecoach on th Barlow Sanderson line, was robbed while passing through a canon four miles west of Poncha Springs, by four unmasked men. After securing $500, a $11300 draft, besides a number of gold watches and other valuable jewelry, the coach was allowed to proceed About ten o'clock the same robbers entered store at Poncha Spring, compelled everybody present to hold up his hands and the proprietor to turn over the contents of his safe, amounting to about $450.

Investigation has shown that the accident was the result of gross, if not criminal, carelessness in overloading the boat, aggravated by the recklessness and disorderly conduct of some of the passengers. tW Arrangements have been made at the Indian office to effect the removal of about seventy of the North Carolina Cberokees to the Indian Territory.

This, it ii thought at department, is the urst step toward the removal of the entire tribe of North Caro lina Cherokee, numbering about 2000. to that Territory. tlTThe Governor and Council have at length derided to commute the sentence of Dtcarni ft.

ry Mr. Vennor predicts a wet June, with frequent severe wind and thunder storms, and probable trosts between tne did and lUih oi the month.

STILL ANOTHER ARCTIC HXVI! TION. The United States Steamer Alliance, now at Norfolk, is to be immediately de spatched to look for the missing steamer Jeannette in the northern Atlantic, as there is a possibility that she may have been able to make her way eastward, north of Asia and Europe.

The commander of the Alliance is ordered to cruise between Greenland, Iceland and the coast of Norway, and as far as the northern coast of Spitsbergen, if possible to get there without endangering the vessel Before sailing the bow of the Alliance will be sheathed with live oak two inches thick, ex tending from the stem thirty-five feet aft, with a strong iron guard on the stem to protect the vessel against drift ice. The Alliance will take on board an extra supply of provisions to be prepared in the event of falling in with the Jeannette. Full sailing instructions have been given Commander Cooper. He is di rected to take a pilot at St. Johns, N.

who is familiar with the coast of Iceland, and at Hamerfest, in Norway, one who is familiar with the coast of Spitsbergen, and again, upon his arrival oil' the coast of Spitzbergen, to obtain from the walrus and seal hunters some one who can pilot the ship along that coast and into the best harbors. The Secretary says: the Jeannette should possibly get through from the direction anticipated she would probably sight Spitzbergen and make for the coast of Norway. You will therefore cruise backward and forward between Green' land and Spitzhergen as much as possible un- der sail." Commander Cooper is instructed not to remain in the region indicated longer than September 25th. A BPECK OF "WAR. The State Department last week received a despatch from Consul-General Hall at Havana, to the effect that the American barque Acacia of Boston had been seized by the Mexican authorities at Merida, and was unjustly detained.

The information was that the barque Acacia put into Merida in distress, and was seized by the captain of the neighbor ing port of Progreeo and carried into that port. Two of her crew were on board when the seizure was made, the captain and the re mainder of the crew having gone to Progreso for assistance, and were there when the barque was brought in. Her surrender was asked by the American captain, who, upon being refused, appealed to our consul, whose request for her delivery to her captain was also refused, and the crew of the vessel were detained on shore, being threatened with ar rest if they attempted to go on board. On this showing, the Secretary of the Navy or dered Admiral Wyman, commanding the north Atlantic fleet, to immediately send one of the vessels of his squadron to Merida, to investigate the matter. Mexican newspapers received since the order was issued say that the vessel was found by their port officials abandoned in a dangerous place and in pos session of two Indians, and was saved by the officers with much difficulty after her captain had reported to the American Consul that he had given her up as lost.

Thk Revenues ok Time. If any body had prophesied on the day of John Brown's execution, that in less than twenty-fire years from that time, Frederick Douglass, himself an escaped fugitive slave, would deliver a eulogy upon him at Harper's Ferry, the scene of his raid, and that he would receive, at the close of his oration, the hearty congratulations of the State's Attorney who prosecuted Brown and secured his conviction, such a prophet would have been looked upon as a dangerouB lunatic. Still, that is exactly what happened on Monday last, at the laying of the corner stone of a new building for Storer College, an educational institution for colored pupils, at Harper's Ferry, in sight of the house occupied by John Brown when he was preparing for the attempt which cost him his life. There was present a representation of the lost cause, some of whom listened to Mr. Douglass, evidently impressed.

Mr. Hunter, who was the State's Attorney against Brown, sat just in the rear of Douglass, and gave him the hand of congratulation when he had done. Certainly events have moved rapidly in the last twenty years. iTciiiNn Piles. Blotches and Piracies en the face effectually cured hy Sway no's Ointment.

The Tempest. The storm of Monday night was very severe in many sections of New England, and a greater loss of lite by lightning is reported than in any other storm for several years. In Salem a child named Frank Colbert was killed, and three other children in tho same house were knecked senseless and badly burned. In Dunstable, Mr. Charles L.

Swallow was struck and killed while planting corn in an open field. At Pitt afield the storm was accompanied by a hailstorm, some of the hailstones being over three inches in circumference. Considerable damage was done to gardens. During the storm, Henry loam an, teamster for Mr. Pom cry, started with a load of goods for the depot, when he was struck by lightning and killed.

The wagon was totally demolished. A man named Cansady was killed at East Granville, and two persons in Gloucester, Mass. Essex county seems to have received its full share of the storm, and there is hardly a village in the wholo county but can show damage by the lightning to a greater or less degree. Fkom tiih II fit.
