A sincere desire to improve the breed of

same sentiment, together with the difficulty
Of the times. has induced the subscribers 10
atler him to the public on the above accom-
modating terms We are bold to say that we

fine deep mouth, with thin close shut lips a
large wide spreading nostrll; full shining
brightly eye, All ear pointed and erect In
short to save ourselves the trouble of further
description, we have the horse and can pro-
duce him, and We invite the public, we invite
he best Judges to the most scrutinizing G a-
mination, and defy the most severe critic to
discover single deficiency in bone, muscle,
snew, or proportion. Those who are fond Of
rearing fine horses, and o. selling them for fine
prices, have now an opportunity OF accom-
plishing their wishes.
PEUlGREE.
The subscribers feel particularly happy IN

Abundant rain on Wednesday last, refresh
ed the parched earth and impaired new
vigor to vegetation. The fruits of the earth,
this season, promised to be most abundant.
Fresh butter has not been as cheap with
in the memory OF man. 1t has been sold in
our market at ifUe cents the pound. From
six to ten cents is tie regular price for the
very best butter. The improvement in gar
dening has rendered our vegetable market
abundant and cheap; md the cultivation Of
sweet potatoes and all descriptions of mel
ons, which is becoming extensive in the
neighborhood, will add these articles to our
former varieties.
The rise of the water two weeks ago en-
abled the people on the Juniata and West
Branch to get their produce to market.
Those OH the North Branch have not gener-
ally been so fortunate, as the rise in it was
trifing. About 10000 bushcl OF wheat, from
this branch, is lying in arks between Ha-
rold's and Sunbury.
The commissioners who have the i'm
provemcnt of the Susquehanna in care, were

from Columbia upwards, with view to CIV
ing out contracts for removing obstructions.
They reached this place on Friday.

SToRM.-On Wednesday the 18th instant a
part OF this country was visited by one OF the
most violent and destructive tornadoes that nave
passed through it. The storm came from the
south west and passed in 4 north east direction;
we have not learned yet where it commenced,
nor how far it continued its destructive march.
II passed diagonally through this country, and
its rayagcs are about mile in width. 1t had
the appearance of huge volume of smoke, a
rising from tremendous fire, which, with the
vivid and continued flashes of lightning, the loud
peals of thunder, the rattling of hail, and the
crash of timber, with which it was accompanied
gave to it an awful and terrible appearance, that
baifies description 1t passed within about Sin
miles of this town, and in its destructive march,
,ore down every thing before it; hol'scs barns
fences orchards, and woods; were levellul to the
glound. The trees are prostrated in the same

lives being lost, nor of any oo,ious bodily injury
except in family of Mr.. Morrison, OF yellow
creek two ofwhom were in field planting CON
when the storm came on; one got his arm brole,
and the other his leg broke. 1t is said that th
dead timber stood very thick in the field, an'
that no,a single tree has been left standing

On Tuesday last, in this Borough, Mrs.
A. NJ. consort Of the Rev.B. Williston, pas
tor of the Episcopal Church in this Bo-
rough. The deceased has left disconso-
late husband and several small children to
mourn the loss of an amiabe and affectionate
wife, and kind and tlutful mother; but
there is consolation, balm for their
wounded hearts, in the reflection that she
had, with steady and undertaking step
through life, walked in the path of Chris
tian Piety. Her intelligent mind, which had
received the impression of wisdom's fair
hand, rendered her an ornament to society,
a companion in the study of her husband,
and shed its lustre, and imported its bright
influence upon the tender plants under the
nursing hand of her parental care.
