led in pieces. and her whole body covered |
with bruises. in which state she crawled IN
the direction of the house till near enough, t
when the storm abate6, to render her CRIES
audible to the whole family. Mr.. William
Walton was buried in the rubbish about
twenty rods below, where he was found on
Sunday following, and his remains commit
ted to the tomb.
The wildness of the scenery in the vlcin-
ity of these destructive ava!anches, has long
been subject of remark with travellers IN
this region, but am told that it now pre-
sents a view indescribably grand and ter
rife. Mountains laid bare for two OF three
miles in extent, presenting chasms OF vast
size-rocks, some of which are supposed to
weigh an hundred tons, torn from their beds
where they had repose0 for ages, and trans
ported from two to three miles, and trees OF
jail dimensions spliDtered into Atoms ana
forming huge chaotic masses, altogether
appears sufficient to overwhelm the senses
of the beholder, yielding, in wlldness ana
Isublimity, only to the effect OF similar ca
ttastrophc in the White Mountains OF New,
Hampshire"
The most severe and destructive hail storm
Experienced for great number OF years. traV-
ersed the north eastern part OF Delaware 'couh-
lty, (Pa) on Thursday evening, the 9th instant.
THE hail was accompanied with torrents oil ram,
! and very heavy gale of wind. Scarcely
house in its course escaped with unbroKen WIN
dows; in MANY houses from 30 to luU panes
VIZ h-aken. rttr Ll~Ies of the corn are torn
into tatters and the foliage OF every other plant
which presented broad surface, has the APP
pearancc of having been exposed to repeated
discharges of musketry. Its breadth was about
}. three miles.
INTERESTING INCIDENT. When Mr. Clay
i was in Hamilton, few days ago, man quite
I intoxicated and of VIGOROUSLY bad character,
! came up to him and said, he had voted against
I Mr.. Clay before, and intended to do so again
He was quite rough and insulting. Mr.. Clay
, smiled and observed, "you freeman and
! have right to vote as you please" At that
! moment, an old revolutionary soldier, OF the
higest responsibility, who had been listening
to the conversation, and who has ftty-Sir great
grand children lining, took Mr.. Clay by the
2 hand, giving it hearty shake, said, Well,
! MIR. Clay, if this man won't vote for you, will
: and so will all my children, grand children,
, and great grand children-and I've good many
: of them. I've always found you true to your
countrys interest and III stick to you forever.
!, We need scarcely say, that the incident ere.
ated quite laugh among the bystanders, and
.. gave great pleasure to Mr., Clay Cincinnati
