the Town Hall. The hour arrived, and the
orator arrived, when 10 and behold the doors

was made among the poultry, ond even calves
were much injured.
On the evening of the Sd ult. there was
destructive hurricane, accompanied with hail,
in Knox County, Indiana. Houses, fenc-

Frustrated. Large trees were taken up, whirl-
ed through tho air, and carried TO considera-

MAIL RoBBERY. On the morning of the 1st
inst. the great eastern mail was cut from the
Ind part of the stage near Harlaem bridge, a
few miles from New York. It was afterwards
found in field, with many of the letters open

missing, but several bills of exchange on Eu-
rope were taken, which it is feared will be lost,
as Havre packet sailed after the loss of the
mail and prior to It's recovery, in which it is
probable the 'robber took passage If so, he
may have an opportunity to collect the bills
before payment can be stopped.
