This descri ption in the Dov i gaa charter , after you come to tha Pt conic River , probably miles from \ ;the point , is very blind. It does not say, \Thenco along the shore of the river , \ or \Along tho centre of the river ; \ nor d o. i j ' it indicate where tho river shall eui i ne by being merged in the-ocean.

Neither was it , for by 5 oclock ' tbe; w\id suddenl y hauled to the north- w e sfe ; blew heavil y, and for an hour or sore : one of the most severe electric storms ' , passed over the p lace that we oft- en experience-—in fact , for the first half boar it waa-aimo s t one incessant flash of lig h tnin g , w i th peal after peal of heavy , thdnder. The rainfall was not in com- baxigon to the electrical part of the storm though enoug b rain fell t o answer all c Su syaysng and vegetation-re f reehib f ; ' prirpbse s . . . . ' . fhe lond and shar p thunder led many to think that the li ghtning struck t s ever- a l times in . this locality, but np to this date ' ; we onl y learn of three p laces :; one , the; fence on . , Peter Hug hes farm at the Bri ckfti l EB , knocking several leng ths of it into kindling wood , and another , the fish pound of Edward H. Bennett , at Eforih West , ba dl y tearing the ' net, and the other the \Austin VanScoy house \ at Basse l s ' Neck , near this villoge , now owned by W m. Huntt ing, of East-Hamp ton , and occ c p ied by Wm. Hi Richardson and wife en. the firs t floor and by Mrs. J, Austin Y a aScoy on the second floor. The li g ht- ning e ntered the ho u se b y the main chim- ney, tearing off a portion of the top, and splitting it open in the attic and on the &£f floor. Here it showed its pecu- liar freaks. The mantle piece was torn from ; its place and all the ornaments tboroon were demolished. The clock wfta literall y torn to p ieces , the brass works l y ing on the \ opposite side of the room and the wooden case in threediffer - ent places. An oil painting on the oppo- site ride of the room was sp lit from top to bottom , and the contents of the room was so besmeared with soot as to not look as if the good housewife had comp leted her housecJeaning the day previous. The iigfctning passed off from this room be- tween the main , house and the kitchen , and , in doing so set Are to the house. As it went from the house it entered the- well , st a nding close to the kitchen door , knockin g out the spout of o f the pump and -a p lug which was on the opposite side of the pump stick. As the lightning passed out of the house it went throag h a pantry in one corner of the kit s hing, bre u king about ten dozen of eggs; in a basket containing twenty d ozen crazing the crockery, and doing other damage. ' Mrs. VanScoy was not home at tbe tiniQ, and Mrs. Richardson , not liking the e s v e rit y of the storm , had just passed from the parlor into the kitchen where her husband was. and had barel y shut the door when the crash came. She re-opened tho door just in time to see everything in confusion. , S ichardson and his wife then started for the barn , but, on looking back , saw ihe house on fire. Fortunatel y (the pump being cri pp led) he had water in the a oas e , and /with that he extinguished the flames. The house was insured in the Suffo lk- ' County Mutual Insurance Com- panyj and Mr. Richardson ' s furn i tur e i n the Aetna , of Hartford. :3ut this storm was not of a local na- ture . It broke upon New-York city about the same lime it struck us , and , as i lia Tribune says , the city was \ swept b y a mig hty wind. \ There a heavy wind preceded the rain , filling the streets with firing dust and dirt so as to make - it al- raosfc as dark as twilight , blowing down trees and telegrap h wires , and . doing ranch other damage. A child had its arm broken by a p iece of flying board , a heavy truck was blow n across Yanderbilt avenue and throug h a, p late g lass window , and lig htning struck in several p laces. Tho is c e ne from Brooklyn brid ge ia de- Ecribed as both grand and awful. ; The storm was equall y severe in New H&y a n. An unfinished buildin g was blown down and the sixteen men work- i o g th erein more or leas injured , fen of fhera quite seriously. l A t t he \ west of this Island the storm was also severe , wrecking a funeral pro- css s ion near Calvery Oemetry. One carriage was blown off the road and down a four foot embankment \ onto tha meadow lae:driver jumped off his box and got the occupants out in safety and the horses broke loose and ran away* Some of th6 other coaches were also wrecked. /At R eading, Penn., a Rai lroad trai n was nearly stopped by the fierce wind and it was feared that it would be blown from the track. At Pottsvil l e , - Philadel- phia; Tremon t , P ino Grove , Tamaqua , Laudingville , Schuy lkill Haven and other places it was -also very severe. And , in fact , it was severe over a large extent of coantry-not onl y most of the Eastern States , but in Illinois and oth a r western Barnums circus , perf orming at WJ- liaz Bs port , P enn., fared hard. But while the people got out safel y, save the breaking of a bone of one lad y tents were demolished , and cages containing w r Jd animals were blown over.

' f . . ' . , The general supposition that final ad- journment would occur the . l6th , has oc : ca s ioned the usual rush that always occurs the la u t two weeks. _ . .:: As per annonncemeut , the bulk-head bill was g iven a hearing last Tuesday, and while the peo n le from L- I. City mixdo strong and seemingly convincing argu tuent against the measure , it was re- ported favorably the next day. I shall oppose it to the best of my ability, but I have little hope of preventing its passage ^ for I plainl y see that a most determined and well conceived p lan has been laid to push it throug h. Argument seems to have no effect , but it may withthe Gove r- nor. About all the bills of local nature that have been entrueted to my care , and that I con sidered meritorious , have passed this House , and nearly all the Assembly, excep ting tho water bill , which I believe would also , had it reached a vote, but it came into the Senate eo late that tho sin- gle objection rule prevented its considera- tion. And the Jamaica Normal school bill must also be excepted. Since the promises fliat were ma d e by the finance cbm ra ittoe to tho effect that if any oil la of tbfst nature were reported oms would be tbe first , it was a great surprise to me when the Plattsb urgh bill was agreed upon alone. Next week , if bp a ce will permit , I will make an explanation of the matter- I bav o requested the commit- tee, at Jamaica to come here immediate- l y. / -- - - ' , ' ' : Of tbe bills that have passed both houses , will mention : permitting the eheddin j r of certain piers in N. Y. j relat- ing to the care of estates of State prison life convicts ; to c upprees tho N. Y. , buck- et shops—this bill caused extensive dis- cussion , and while without donbfc itdoes not reach far enong h , ¦: yet it is a move in the rig ht direction , as it will curtail to some extent the evil encouraged b y this mode of gambling. What is known as the state insane asy- lum bill , which seeks to p lace all the in- sane in state a « y lum instead of the pres- ent system of each county caring for a certain portion , was defeated in the As- sembl y last Thursday. , The general escheat bill recommended by the Governor providing that all escheat legislation be determined by the board of land commissioners , failed of passage in the Senate the same day. There seems to be q ui te a general impres- sion that this board has sufficient powers alread y. Th ^ can al - appropriation • has been raited b y the Senate to $750 , 000. The ceiling investigating committee has made its fiaa l report. By it it is evi- dent that the state has been defrayded to a larg e extent , but whether any one will be u -a d e (o suffer is a question , al- thoug h it seems quite probable that Sup t. Andrews will be removed. v S.

Henry. P. Hedges , nnamo u sly adopted , and sent to the Sag-Harbor Ex p bes s for publication : Elbert Rose was born Aug, 12tb , 1824 , and died June 29th , 1 SSS- He was born in Bridge-Hampton and resi ded there all bis life. His father , the late Maltby G. Rose , Esq., was for many years Super visor and Justi ce of the Peace of the Town of Southampton. His grandfather , Gen. Abraham Rose , was often a town officer , and was at dif- ferent times Membsr of Assembl y of the State of New-York. In the war of 1812 he was , as General , the commanding offi- cer of all the troops in the county ; and in 1 8A0 elected one of the Presidential Electors , who afterwards chose William Henry Harri ?on President ' ' of ' . the United States. ' ¦ ¦; Elbert Rose was descended from an ancestry patriotic , intellectual, honored and honest ,; from the first settlement- of this town . - Inheriting the like endow- men ts , he was unobtrusive , unostenta- tious ^ diffident of his own abilities , and very much d isposed to . defer to the judge mer it .qf ot hers. Content to c n llivat o the paternal acres , he vras a l ife long farmer in his native village , respected , trusted and esteemed by others more highly in their judgement than he was ranked in his own. He was a wide , intense , intelli- gent reader , and gave to ibe Hampton Library in Bridge- Hampton tba ^ ben efit, ungradg ing l y, of bis large knowled ge of books , of men , and of practical and pub- lic affairs. He became a Trustee of this Library May 13tb , 1880 , in its . early his- tory, on the decease of the late William Gardiner , one of the bounders of this Institution , and one of its ori g inal Trus- tees. To its success be devoted careful thoug ht , clear jud gment , unselfish interest and valuable time: We , bis surviving associates, attesting his fidelity, bis abilit y, bis onconscion s worth , his unrequited service as an asso- ciate , are warned by his decease in a voice not to be unheeded , that to us the \inevit- able hour draws near. [Resolved , that we adopt the foregoing as the expression of . our sentiment , -onr regard and our regret. Hesolved , that the same be filed with our papers , recorded in our minutes , published in the local papers , and a copy thereof transmitted by our Secretary to the widow and famil y of our deceased as sociate- -T ' . - ' , - ' • , Bndge-Haintoii T ; Correspondence The Dickens lecture , by Wallace Bruce was thoroughly enjoyable.

Tho instruction is by chart and teaches to read mu sic , in one week with.lessohs every evening, and afternoon if desired. The work accomp lished is a very necessary ' one in these days , when voice;culture has come to the fron t to the neg lect of the old-fashioned training in reading music. These gentlemen have had classes in several villages on the Island and; receive hi g h commendation from those who have had knowled ge of their methods . Taesday evening a runaway horse made his way rap idl y through the villagekeep- ing the centre of the \ street , without suc- cessful opposition , thoug h several at- tempts were made to stop him . He be- longed to Mr. LaForest , of East-Hampton and being fri g hted by an eng ine at the depot , started on his homeward way be- fore his owner anticipated his intentions. He was stopped by Leahder P. Toppi dg at Poxabogue , and' broug ht to the village , without damage to the horse , wagon or its contents. At the annual meeting of the trustees of the Hampton Library, Addison M. Cook was re elected in p lace of Elbert Rose , deceased.
