The gentleman, seeing the danger. | sprung from the wagon. and as soon as he reached the ground, the wagon was torn loose from the horses and hrokrn toatnns.

 The passengers on board the boat while passing up the river yesterday were attracted ny the peculiar appearance and movement of the clouds. near the direction of New Bruns- wick !; inally, a portion of clouds seemed to separate itself from the mass and form pillar, one cpd of which appeared tn rest on rhe earth, the other terminated in the clouds. After re. ,mainng stationary for about fifteen minutes. itmoved with great rapidity te the north, ev- 'dentiy carrying along or destroying every thing with which 1t came in contact We however supposed our city had escaped it's desolating visit but upon reaching the wharf we learned that the tornado had passed direct " through the centre of the city, prostrating nearly level with the earth. or carrying off a. bout two hundred houses and barns and other buildings. including one church, the Methodist. which was built of brick-nne half was taken on as hy skilful mechanic. Children were carried 100 feet in the air. and one was car red nearly a quarter of a mile without sus- tanning any other injury ihan the sprainng of ms wrist. Three "four citizens have been kill ed. about fifty injured. some severely. The amount ofproperty destroyed is very cOnsid- erablr, and in most cases the poor are the greatest sufferers. ,r
 Rev. pr. Howe. who resided several years at Savannah. Georgia, informed me that he. had witnessed the effects of the Southern tor. nao". but that tt did not compare in its power and destructive character to this.

 One thing at q time.--Step among your nf'ghhors. reader. and see whether those of them who have got along smoothly, and .ac- eum"lated property, and gained good name, nave not been men W ho bent themselves to one single branch of business; who brought al' tnesr powers to hear oa one point, and built upon one fOundatiOn. H must be SD. So out 'n the spring. when the ssn is yet fay distant, and you can scarcely feel the influence of his beams. scattered as they are ever the wide face of creation; but collect these beams to a t"cus' and they kindte a flame in an instant. So the man that sqnanders his talents and his strength on many things, will fail te make an impression with either; bat let him draw Ihem to a point--let him strike at a single ob- ject, and it yields before him.
