DIED,

Yesterday, in the 18th year of his age, JOHN
LoSeDEx, one of the oldest and most esteemed
of our citizens.
Few men have passed through long life so
blameess as did John Longden. He was an no.
nest mana good citizen-and most kind rela-
tive. mall these relations he supported cha
racter which gained him the respect of his fellow
citizens, and the love of his surviving friends and
family.
He was soldier of the Revolutionary War,
and served his country honorably and faithfully
during many years of her EXTREMIST hardships
and privatiOns.
To the many excellent qualities of his heart
was added strong and correct judgment. His
opinions were always worthy of attention.
It's not pretended to write his eulogy-No one
who knows him requires this If solid virtue,
interrupted honesty, uprightness OF character,
and unpretending merit, are worthy of remem-
brance, then will his name be not soon forgotten.
HIS friends and acquaintance are invited to
attend his funeral, at his late residence in West
End. this evening at past So'clock.
On Tuesday evening, the 5oth instant, Mrs.
MARY ANN HEINEMAN, cOnsOrt of MIR. Jacob
Heineman, deceased in the S5th year of herag
Her friends are requested to attend her fune-
raj. this evening at o'clock. from the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Wilson, on King
street.

wharves received considerable damage, and build
inss in the immediate neighborhood of the wharves
were filled with water. The damage sustained
by the shipping was not so great as was antcipat-
ed. The English packet brig Emily drove from
her anchors in the stream, against Hancock's
wharf, stove nearly all her stancheons. on the
starboard side, and received considerable damage.

Mr. Editor:-A narrow section of our country
about a quarter of mile in width, and fifteen or
twenty miles in length. was visited On the eve
ming of the 7th inst. by most alarming and de-
structive hurricane. 1t was accompanied with
an unusual degree of thunder and lightning for
the season, and commenced its ravages some four
or five miles south of this place driving with in
credible fury from S. w. to n. f. raising from
their foundations. almost indiscriminately, every
negro-cabin, tobacco barn, stable or other low
bodied House. and depriving the more firmly
constructed farm houses of their porches, roofs,
or chimneys; and in some few instances, upset
ting them, or moving them from their original
positions. We have heard as yet of but three
deaths, which occurred among the negroes at Mr..
Bruce's by the fall of chimney. after the house
had blown over them. without doing any injury.
There were in other places many hair breadth
escapes for it frequently hapned that houses
were blown down oversix or eight negroes, with
out any other suffering than some slight bruises.

UNION COUNTY Ky. February 10.
One of the strangest circumstances took place
here to-day that ever heard of: about 10 or l
O'Clock, very black cloud came over, from which
fell moderate shower of something that was
black as ink; and as the ground was covered with
snow, | for the first time saw black snow. Since
it has dried the cOrnstalks are covered with some
thing like ashes and g,mpowder. The rain was
accompanied with thick smoke, which smeled
like the smoke of stone coal. After the shower
(which lasted but few minutes) was over, it
commenced showing, part of which was likewise
black. 1t has created some little alarm; some
attribute it to volcanic eruption.

The Flood. Yesterday we had slight imita-
ton of the flood of old. Our eldest inhabitants
do not recolect the time when the tide has been
high as as il was at noon yesterday. One of our
subscribers informs us that it was inches high
er than in storm forty years since. when he
made mark on his premises. at its height. The
water on the wharves was two or three feet deep
vessels, lumber, wood, land slaves, and in fact,
every thing movable was ailoat, and taking rap
id leave of their owners, covering the surface of
the water with fragments of every kind. After
nearly month of unusually mild weathr, snow
tinued through yesterday, with wind from n. f.
Several vessels struck adrift from their anchor
acre in our harbor, and went ashore-but little
damage however, occurred to them, excepting
one which bilged on Fort Point.
