An uncommonly severe storm Of hail and
rain occurred at this place, on Sunday last
The storm commenced about 6 o'clock P
M. and continued undated Cor halt an hour
Hail stones fell varying in circumference
from two to sir inches; few miles east Of
this, person remarked in our presence,
that hailstones were gathered which by ac-
tual measurement were nine inches in cir
conference. The wind was not high, and
owing to this factalone probably, little dam
age was done.

From the Illinois Advocate.

The following article is going the
rounds Of the eastern papers.
''Nlinois.-This state has fund Of
100000, which Is to be exclusively
applied to the purposes of public eduea-
tion. The sum is now bearing interest ;
and the difficulty now is in the adoption
of system best calculated to diffuse
useful knowledge among every class Of
the community"
What pity the above is not true!!
The school fund Of Illinois, unfortunate
~ for the rising generation, consists Of
some IA or 100000 acres of zpaste, un-
cuitiuated lands, and the avails of the "3
per cent. fund !" amounting to about
100000 part only, Of which, is bear
ing interest.
The error of "the Eastern papers" is
truly great blunder; but our neighbor oil
the Advocate, in noticing it, has pushed hi>
correction too far towards the opposite ex.
IRENE. The school lands of Illinois, can,
not properly be said to be ,oaste, though
they were converted into money, as has
been proposed, we cannot say that the.
would not soon be pasted. The high pric,
which has been paid for portions Of tn,
school lands offered at public sale, is evi
|dencs that, collectively, they are valuable

to order yesterday, the private secreta-
Try of the president of the United States
presented message, protesting against
the resolutions Of the senate, touching
The removal of the public deposites.-
The message seemed to have been ex-
nected, at least during the morning: for
there was gathered an unusual early au
dience of both sexes. The senate, how
ever, was not full. Mr.. Webster, Mr..
Chambers, and Mr.. Bell, were still alb
sent; Mr.. Forsyth, Mr.. Preston, and
Mr.. Porter, were casually absent--and
MIR. Clay had yesterday accompanied his
lady, who is in i'll health, on her way to
- watering place in Virginia, where she
is to stay some weeks: As soon as the
last word Of the message, as its reading
was concluded, fell from the lips of the
secretary of the senate, Mr.. Poindex
ter addressed the chair. In indignant
terms he denounced the message, which
he declared could not be considered an
executive message, as not pertaining to
any OF the public occasions on which the
president fthe United States is author
lzed by the constitution to address him
self to the senate. He considered it All
unofficial paper merely signed by An
drew Jackson. In any view, consider
Ing it document not respectful to the
senate. he moved that it be not receiv-
ed. On this motion, debate ensued
which continued until 5 o'clock. in
which the motion was supported by
Mr.. Poindexter, Mr.. Sprague, Mr.. F,e.
llnghJ nsen, and Mr.Southard, and oppo-
sed by Mr.. Benton and Mr.. King of AL
ALBANIA. But before taking any question
on motion of Mr.. Leigh the senate ad-
journed so the mates rests,

--latest from Spain. Via Bordear. By
The brig Rome, Capt. Davis arrived last
night from Bordeaux, having sailed on the
10th March-the editors of the New York
Daily Advertiser have received files of pa
pers to the lIth, containing Madrid dates
to the sixth March, and Bayonne to the
ninth.
The capital of Spain continued perfect
ly tranquil.-No change in the ministry
had taken place, nor was any talked Of
The northern provinces were in rebell-
ious state. The CarIst party was far
from being subdued. We have only time
to make the following translation.
A correspondent writes from Bayonne
the eighth March, by courier extraordin-
airy, which left Madrid the fifth March,
we learn that on its departure the capital
was perfectly tranquil. The Queen had
left for Arangues. No change in the min-
istry had taken place, nor was the subject
even mentioned. A movement had taken
place by party of the Carlists, who had
been put down, and some eight or ten had
been killed, and several arrested.
Another courier which left on the sixth
represented that Madrid was perfectly tran
quill.
The success of the Queens troops at O.
natl, in capturing 800 persons, 500 guns
and squadron of mules with munitions
of war, belonging to the Carlist party, is
confirmed.
Col. Lerenzo had captured large body
of insurgents at Aspetia.
1t was reported that the courier from Pa
ris had been assassinated by the insurgents
near Bedous.

occupied by the troops Of Ii Pastor.-N

TEMP-EAR ANcE MOVEMENT. A whole

TEMP-EAR ANcE MOVEMENT. A whole
sale dealer in West India goods on Long
Wharf, was called upon few days since
by astranger who enquired the prices
of several leading articles, among which
was rum. This article he said he was
very particular about and wished to see
a sample. The grocer brought proof
glass full, not however. without suspect
ing the character of his customer.
After sippinga little, the man asked
for a bier, wishing, he said, to try the
favor of the spirit when mixed with
water. This confirmed the suspicious
OF the grocer, who replied that he did
not retail and refused to get tumbler.
Then, says the customer, | can try it in
this way, and tipping up the proof glass,
was about to swallow the contents. The
grocer Immediately grasped it and lifting
lit from his mouth, the contents Of course
fellin the face and eyes of his patron,
and then grasping him firmly by the ear
and giving il a gentle twist, which caus-
ed the sufferer TO "trip it on the light
fantastic toe" he led him to the door.
whilst he thus admonished him, "My
friend, you must excuse the liberty | take

their constituents, by the previous question
being called for and carried, together with
all of the rest Of the proceedings, in secret

We hope the General assembly will
show all who took so deep an interest IN the
matter now, that their zeal has been vast

law which occasions all this buster. We

premature, and calculated to take advan

WASHINGTON April II. 1884.

Well, the message has come wrote YOU
of yesterday--and such message! The
Kitchen has not been in an uproar for
nothing. The New York elections, the
route of the Tammany party there, has
alarmed the cabal. and as they think the
name Of Andrew Jackson talsman. they
have got up an hour-and-a-half document
denouncing the senate,-the only body
that stands between Andrew jackson and
unlimited power. Now We shall he told
this body is 'monopoly,'-'an aristocrat-
ic corporation "a useless execrescence on
the body poliic,' &c. &c.
The doctrines advanced in this extraor.
binary document ale tory doctrines,-nol
known in these United states, never recog-
nized here, never contend ed for by even
the men who passed the alien and sedItion
laws. Tories and tories alone will support
the monstrous pretensions to executive pow
er laid down in this message. The presi-
dent claims to be all in all. He actually
claims as a right the public purse, and
snatches all control from congress! No to-
ry party ever supported-no tory press ev-
er commended for higher prerogative.

In Connecticut, the victory of the

more decisive than that gained in New

eight. The returns give Foot, the wing

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks-
~ burg and my plantation, in the upper end
of Stafford. a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which he was riding, both belonging to me,
were stolen by man who seems to have been
a stranger in this part of the country. When
seen in possession Of the Slave and ofthe Mare,
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House He is described TO me as person be-
tween fifty and sixty years OF age, with re-
markably white hair; his stature stout and well
SET He wore brownish colored stuff cloak.
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years of age, as well as is remembered; stout IN
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high: has drawing manner OF talking,
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a
blue cloth cap grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is fine large sorrel, without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre OF
the forehead, not covering more than the size OF
a four -halfpenny. She is, as well as is
recoected, going on seven years ofage; is re-
markably long in her body; has long tail, and
it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There
may be discerned in the film one of her eyes
an incision which was made year or two ago
to cure the hooks.

therecovery Of the above Slave and Mare, or in

either. JNO. TA4LOE LOMAA.
