Fine sy Licatnine.—Ourlisle, Pa., July 29.— There was a heavy thunder storm here last sight. Five barns and one dwelling house were struck by lightning and burnt. The barns were filled with the owners’ entire crops. Other damage in different parts of the country are reported.

A Grat Murperep sy ner Lover.—A singular and cold blooded murder was committed last Monday in McKean Township, Penn., the victim being a young gir) named Cal- | ists Cornelia Allen, aged about fifteen, and the perpetrator | Walter Hayt, aged thirty-five. Hayt had for some time en-| tertained a passion for Miss Allen, and had made propositions of marriage to her ; and he alleges (for he confesses the crime and the motives that induced him to do it) that she had pro- | mised to marry him ; that they had several times agreed | upon a day for the consummation of their union, but that she | had in each case postponed it til] another ; and that the very day on which he committed the horrible deed had been ap- pointed, by previous arrangements, as their wedding day. | On the other hand, her family state that she had never | been engaged to him and had no intention of marrying | him, but had always considered and treated his attentions as_ a persecutor. Hayt confesses that he had premeditated the | deed for several days, and debated with himself for some | time whether to kill the girl or himself ; but finally settled down on her destruction, provided she again refused.

He therefore provided himself with a Colt’s revolver, and | went to Mr. Allen’s house about two o’clock in the afternoon | of Monday. He found the youthful and innocent object of | his passion and malice alone, though her mother was in or | near the house. He again pressed his proposition of marriage. | She again refused, and told him that she would not marry | hima, nor did she wish any further attentions from him. was sitting in a chair, and he instantly drew‘his revolver and shot her through the head. She fell upon the floor, but |

|

there appearing to be still signs of life, he raised her up, and, | laying her on a sofa, shot her a second time through the head. | At this instant her mother appeared at the door and raised | the ery of murder. The maddened wretch turned upon her, | and, as she ran, fired at her twice, but neither of the shots | wok effect. He then attempted to escape, but, seeing persons | following him, he stopped and gave himself up. |

The same evening Hayt was brought to Erie an! lodged | in jail. He seems indifferent concerning the terrible crime | that he has committed, and, in fact rather gratified that he succeeded so handsomely. There appears to be no evidence of insanity about him, and the crime was certainly committed | coolly and deliberately.

The last atrocity in New York city was the murder on| Thursday night of Bartholomew Rourke, an Irishman 32} years old, who had been for ten years a faithful porter to} Samuel Joyce, tailor, 378 Broadway. Finding the store closed | in the morning, the foremar got a locksmith to open it, when Rourke was found lying dead in one corner of the dressing room of the establishment; his throat was cut, his skull fractured by blows from a pressing iron and gashes and wounds | upon various parts of his body. The posture of the body indi cated that @ severe struggle had taken place—his arms were

na position of defence, his fists clenched, and his eyes open presenting a horrid spectacle. He lay in a pool of his blood, and beside him was the scahbard of a sword, the weapon itself Semg about twenty feet from him. The deceased was a temperate and industrious man, and one nut calculated to make | enemies. He had nearly $1000 of his earnings deposited in ‘Wo savings banks in that city, and generally kept some money, jewelry, &c., in bis trank in an inner room of Mr Joyce's establishment, where he slept, and to get possession of this

»roperty is supposed to have been the object of the assassins.

He was last seen alive at Il o’clock on Thursday night, and

was then sitting with another man at one of the side windows

of the establishment, drinking beer. ‘This man is supposed to have been the murderer,

CIRCULAR.

R. JOHNSON respectfully announces to the public the

!

He regrets that his country engagements have so frequently prevented a due atten- tion to his town patients, and feels glad in now being able to provide for any future emergency. He is extremely sorry to find that the disrepu- table system of slander and detraction, so industriously active against himself for many years, is continued with increasing acerbity against his son. Having himself very quietly borne the assaults on his professional integrity for a long period, he is afraid that continued silence may be considered as an admission of their truth: in justice, therefore, to himself, bis family, and as a duty to the public, he will, very reluctantly, bring the subject to their attention in a form (though exceedingly unpleasant to himself) which, he has no doubt, will be satisfactory tothem. In the mean time, he can most confidently and conscientiously introduce his son as having had a most complete classical and professional education, at least equal to his traducers. His previous liberal education and many years professional training under the best physicians, surgeons, chemists and pbarmacians that the general practice of England produces, prepared him for the liberal advantages of the ‘‘States’”’ Colleges, of which be has availed himself with more than ordinary industry, perseverance and suc- cess, having obtained an applauded Diploma from each College. As corroborating this, bis father feels it a pleasurable act of justice, to him, to append to those remarks part of a note, received some months ago, from the Dean of Faculty, Harvard College:— 2 , * Boston, March 17, 1856.

“My pear Sir,—I regret that you did not receive my letter during the lectures. * * * * I write now merely to say how much grati- fied I was during your son’s entire sojourn with us; with his promptness, attention, fidelity; he was always at bis post, always ready, and I was much pleased to give him a letter to Albany to my old friend Professor Marsh. I feel assured that his course will be a brilliant one.
