Hurricane at North hles.

The weather had been for week or
ten days very unpleasant, the wind blow
ing occasionally fresh from the Z. and
S. E. but as there appeared none of
those indications which usually prccede
hurricane, and as the mercury in the
&. thermometer continued low, very little
apprehension was entertained even at
sunset on Friday evening, the 9Th, inst.
although the weather was bad, yet still
there appeared no cause to apprebend
gale-at the close of the day there
was heavy shower from the S. E. ac-
companied by some wind, after which
the weather appeared better-between
10 and II o'clock, however, we had a
squall from the northeast. from which
quarter the wind continued to blow high
till about 10, when we experienced an
other more violent squail from about
east--the mercury about thisihour had
risen TO 10, and continued to rise for
some time after. From 10 the wind
continued gradually TO change to the S.
E. and S. increasing in violence as it
shifted-from S. E. it blew with fright
full and unprecedented violence-most
of the injury caused by the wind must
have occurred about two o'clock in the
morning, and while it blew from this
quarter. As the time of high water
had been about seven O'Clock in the
evening, the inhabitants appreheuded
no danger from the tide, as from tho
violence of the gale, il was presumed
it could moi continue until the period Of
the succeeding high water. In this ex-
pectation, however, it pleased the AL
mighty to disappoint them, and by The
awful result to prove how fallacious are
all human calculations. The tide could
have ebbed very little, if at all, when
the waters returned with Irresistible vio-
lence, and between three and four o.
clock in the morning, had reached
height far exceeding that in the great
gale of 1904, and we believe of any
other tide within the memory of the
Oldest Inhabitants very small portion
indeed of the inhabited part of the
island remained above the ocean. The
gale began TO subside, we believe, a.
bout half after 8 O'Clock, the wind
blowing then from s. w. 1t was OPP
pressiyely warm during the gate, and
many of those luminous bodies, or me-
teors, unusual in our fall gales, passed
near the surface of the earth. The
gale was of shorter duration and accom-
panied by less rain than usual.
A detailed account Of the sufferings
Of families or individuals will not be at
tempted; for were it necessary, the
state of our feelings produced by the
horrors of this dreadful night, and the
scenes of ruin and devastation which
now surrounds US, would incapactate
US for the task.

TIIE CROPS

A few days since, we had an occasion
to travel to the upper end of Cumberland
County and during the very short time
we had to remain there, but limited
view of the growing crops was afforded
us. In Chesterfield and the lower end
OF Powhatan county, the crops of corn,
wheat and oats, suffer very much for the
want of rain; and we were informed by
several gentlemen in the neighborhood
of Genito and Powhatan court house, tha,
the wheat is much injured by the chinch
bug, Gan insect little known 10 usl in thai,
part of the country. Above Powhatan
court house, and through that part of
Cumberland which we passed, the crops
Of wheat and corn appear to be general
ly good, and promise to remunerate the
farmer for his trouble. In consequence
of the frequent falls of rain in tina, parl
of the state, the planters have generally
been able to pitch their crops of tobac-
CO, which we, believe, is considerably
earlier than common. The oat crop, we
are inclined TO believe, will not be so
good, from present appearances, as usual.
Our information relative to the grow
ing crops III the southwest and southern
section of the state, ale also unfavorable,
and probably will not yield, this year,
half a crop. Petersburg, Va. Republican.

THE HARVEST

Accounts from the western parts Of
Maryland, and from Virginia, are very un-
favorable as to the prospects Of the COM
ipg harvest the fly and cut worm hav-
ing committed great ravages in the wheat
fields. We know this to be true to a
very considerable extent but we are al
ways saluted with dolorous tales OF this
nature about these days. asthe almanac
makers say. They are. good things to
help of an old stock, and pave the way
for good price for the new one.
