NEW-YORK, August 12. ! Last Friday at eleven o'clock a barn full of Grain, belonging to Mr. Zabriski, at Paramus in the Jerseys, was struck by lightning, and burnt to the ground.
Barns filled with Grain and Hay, which abound with electric Effluvia, are more than other Buildings exposed to the Danger of Lightning, and should therefore always be guarded with pointed Iron Rods, for their Preserva- tion.
TO BE LET
A VERY good grist-mill in the Province of New-Jersey, about one mile above Brunswick, upon Raritan river, at a place well known by the name of the landing. The mill-house is large and commodious, has two pair of stones, (one of them Bur-stones) and being situated upon the above river is plentifully supplied with water at all times. There is a new bridge lately built across the river near the mill, which makes an easy intercourse and communication with the country on both sides of the river : Besides the advantages which the mill has in common with other mills in that part of the country, viz. of being in the heart of a long settled well inhabited, fine wheat country, it has this extraordinary advantage over most, that the flour can all be transported to New-York

We hear from Princetown, New-Jersey, that on Mon- day Night last, during the Storm, about 10 o'Clock they discovered 3 Fires, which proved the next Day to be the Barns of Mr. Benjamin Clark, Mr. Gusbert Lane, and Mr. Van Kirk; they were all struck by Lightning and burnt to the Ground in the hardest of the Storm, together with all the Hay, Grain, &c. which those Gentlemen had. Mr. Clark alone, has lost upwards of twenty Tons of Hay.
To prevent Barns being struck by Lightning, the County People ought to be informed to place a Lightning Rod on their Barns, for dry Hay is very apt to draw the Lightning.

VICISSITUDE and adverse fortune, are the portions of mortality; and experience proves that no class of men are more subject to them than merchants. The judicious and benevolent of them, whom Providence hath con- tinued in affluent circumstances, altho' they may not know by experience, the distressing reflections to which the mind of an honest bankrupt is subject, from the change of his circumstances, and the wants of his family, yet they can anticipate them. It is therefore hoped that these considerations-the benevolent purpose to which the profit of this lottery is to be applied-and the advan- tageous nature of the scheme will induce the Public in general, and the Merchants in particular, to encourage it. The drawing will certainly commence at Powles-Hook, about the middle of October next, under the inspection and management of Gentlemen of known integrity and understanding. A list of the fortunate numbers will be published for the information of the adventurers, in hand-bills; and the prizes will be punctually paid, subject to the deduction of 15 per cent. by Messrs. Smith Ramage, Archibald Currie, Patrick M'Davitt, and Thomas Stewart, Merchants, in New-York. And as a number of Gentlemen of influence and extensive ac- quaintance, have engaged to assist Mr. Dunlop in the sale of the tickets, there is no doubt but the drawing will commence at that time. Orders left with Mr. Dunlop, will be carefully forwarded. Timely notice will be given where the tickets are to be purchased in the neighbour- ing provinces.

W HEREAS John Bainbridge, of the county of Middlesex, in the province of New-Jersey, hath for a long time, shut himself up in his house, in order to compel his creditors to accept of a small composition, al- though it is in his power to make ample satisfaction for all his debts; and in order the more effectually to execute his fraudulent purposes, did advertise a large estate, both real and personal, to be sold for ready money, at public vendue to be held on the 16th of this inst. and on said day he did accordingly set his grist-mill, saw-mill, and plantation, with all the buildings thereon, up at public sale, with conditions publickly made known, to be struck off to the highest bidder or bidders; to whom he prom- ised to make an indisputable title: This his creditors now claim, as the highest bidders at said vendue; and therefore caution all persons whatsoever, not to purchase the said mills and plantation, either at public or private sale, of the said Bainbridge, as his creditors are deter- mined to dispute the validity of any sale made by him heretofore.

PHILADELPHIA, August 25. | On Monday, the 16th In- stant, Master PHINEAS SMITH, a Child of about 61/2 Years old, the fourth Son of the Rev. Dr. SMITH, was unhappily drowned near one of the Wharffs of this City, not having been many Minutes gone from Home before the Account of his Death was brought back. It is sup- posed that following the Example of some other Boys', he had gone into the River with a View to swim; for his Cloaths were found lying in the Stern of a Boat, care- fully wrapped together, with his Shoes in the Pockets. He was seen by some Children, just as he was going to sink, who gave the Alarm, but too late to save him! He is said to have been a Child of a sprightly, amiable and promising Disposition, and the Loss of him must be very afflicting to his affectionate Parents. His Body could not

be found till Thursday last, when it was taken up on the Jersey Shore, and afterwards interred in Christ Church Burying-ground; his Father, who received the Account of his Death at Lancaster, having just returned Time enough to see him laid in the Grave!
