A Court IN MIcHIGAN.-The pa
pers give an account of a very strange
proceeding in a late trial before a court
10 Pontiac, Michigan. BENJAMIN IRISH
had sued GEORGE w. WrsxER for the
recovery of a bet made upon the result
Of the election. Among other witnes.
SEES 10 favor Of the plaintiff, was Samu.
ell N. Gnait, editor Of the administra.
ton paper in Pontiac, and a candidate
for the State Legislature. Being ask
ed by the defendant whether he was
interested in the event Of the suit, he
replied hat he had promised the plain
tiff to help him to pay the expenses Of
the suit-had also promised TO help five
others to tar and leather the defendant
and carry him out ofihe yillage-knew
the ballot box had been robbed, and he
did not care who SAID it hadn't.
The defendant objected to receiving
Gnatt's evidence, and commenced ma
king remarks t o the Cour, in support
Of the objections. Gnatt rose, drew up
his chair. and said, elf he (meaning
Mr.. Wisner,) says any thing that in.
sinuates against me, by - III knock
him down."
The defendant TO the Court f: al do
not intend to insinuate anything against
any body. | only wish TO show the
cour the improperly Of receiving MIR.
Gnatt's testimony, aud trust the court
will protect me. 1t is a strange state
Of things, indeed, if ! must be openly
assaulted with a chair in Il court ofius-
tice." 1.-THE defendant recommended
his remarks, and Gnatt again rose,
drew his chair, and swore he would
knock him down if he insinuated any
thing against him..
The defendant TO the Court Will
the court project me by ordering an of.
ficer to take the feilew into custody?"
Esquire Henderson: mo, / shant"
Il wlnklng TO Gnatt.
The defendant to the Court every
good, sir then ! shall protect myself"
Here the defendant drew from his
pocket a pair of small pistols, cooked
them, held n in each hand, and pro.
ceeded with his remarks to the Court.
Gnatt turned pale. and his lips culver.
ed-he dropped his chair, and retreat.
ed to the back part Of the Court room.
Esquire Henderson then said that the
further consideration cf the objection
would be postponed at that time upon
which the defendant coolly replaced
his pistols in his pocket, and took his
seat.
The case was at last committed to
the jury, who could moi agree; and Mr..
Justice Henderson is accused of having
forged a rerdict in favor of the plain.
tiff. On this accusation he has been
arrested.

The Portsmouth, On. II. jail is kept
by Mrs. Gerish, widow of the former
Jailor. One Sunday, not long since,
the prisoners by some means obtained a
bottle of ardent spirits, and became in.
t~oxicated and quarrelsome. She wish.
ed to put them IN separate apartments,
but there being no man at hand to ren

IN her hand, which had not been loaded
for a twelve month, and having opened
the passage way between two rooms,
pointing the pistol, told one Of them 10

The fellow meekly submitted /; the
doors were closed, and peace was re.

Of sailing along the South American
coast from Peru TO Chill, meeting with
no enemies but The south winds. These
were, however, such redoubtable ones
that they became Il rude, although
sufficiently severe, school ofnavigatlon.

lie made the trial, and found that
it was crowned with success ; his YES.
sci glided over the sea rs if by enchant-
ment. During one Of his voyages, a.
bout the year 1852, Fernandez disco
vered a coast which he knew could not
be that of Chill, and, happier than
Christophe: Columbus himself, he i'm
mediately called it after his own name.
He found that it WIS an island, and on
his return recounted the wonders o the
place; but when he proposed taking a
colony out there, the Spanish Govern
ment showed no disposition to favor his
design. Fernandez, however, esta.
blished himself there; but after some
time he abandoned the island, leaving
behind him only a few goats, which
became greatly multiplied. 1t is by
some doubted whether Spain allowed
him TO retain quiet possession of the
place but IT is more probable, that
the cause Of his quitting it was a return
Of his passion for the sen and the life ts
which he bad been so long accustom.
ed. To his adventurous life he then
returned, and it is by some author:
asserted that he was the first to disco

Tremendous Hurricane -Four lives
loSti One dweling house destroyed,
and a number OF others unroofed-be-
sides much damage done to barns, for.
ests, fences, orchards, &c. &c.-We
have just returned from the scene of
n of the most shocking calamlties
that it has ever fallen to our lot to re.
cord or witness. About :hree o'clock
this morning, before the slumbers Of
the night were broken, the dwelling.
house of Mr.. Frederick Sanford, of
Stow, was struck by II violent whirl-
wind, which raised it from the ground,
and scattered it into n thousand frag.
ments. ~
A great part of the house lay scat.
tered v an area ofan acre OF ground,
some six or eight rods from the place
where it had formerly stood. Amid
the remains ofbroken timbers, ofevery
thing that had been in or about the
house. were found the dead bodies of
Mr.. SanforG's mother and Two of his
sons, cold, wet, bruised, and mangled
Mr.. Sanford just alive, who died in a
short time after, and his wife and daugh.
ter much injured, and nearly senseless,
who, when we left, We're in Il fair way
to recover, though yet weak, and SUI.
fering greatly from bodily as well as
mental anguish. A part of the family,
we understand, had just returned from
IA wedding party, in "a neighboring
town, and had been in bed but barely
Il sufficient time to become lost in sleep,
before, without a moments warning,
they were hurried to the land ofspirits,
"to that bourne from whence no trav-
eller returns"
Mrs. Sanford remembers jumping out
OF bed, but more than that she has no
recollection Of, until she found herself
upon the cold. wet ground, unable TO
move. 1t IS utterly impossible TO de-
scribe the scene presented to the eye
Of the behoIder in the vicinity of the
dwelling destroyed. We saw as many
as four hogs killed by the timbers; one
bed ten rods from where the house
had stood, lodged 80 feet high in the

and some other articles, were a mile

cept one or two broken ribs, though |
was told part Of a roof was found at
least a hundred rods off. One plate,
10 which vas attached a part of one
centre post, lay by the barn, twenty
rods distant, and beyond this, five or
six rods, was an OK cart at least thirty
rods from the place where it had stood,
and, fit went direct, must have passed
over the barn. Large trees were bro.
ken down and torn off, fences scattered
in every direction, apple trees tori up
by the roots, &c. &c. The direction
Of the wind was TO the northeast, in
breadth not more than thirty or forty
rods. How far it continued we have
not heard. No one can form any idea
of its destructiveness but those who
witnessed its effects.

A LOST lsLANp.-The abode of
Alexander Selkirk is no more TO be
found. The Island ofJuan Fernandez
has vanished from the ocean. Yet,
though blotted from our maps, it is
green and beautiful in the verses of
Cowper, and the Narrative of Defoe.
The following is from an English jour.
nal.-N. Y. Erening Post.
"This Isle Juan Fernandez has re.
Gently disappeared from the South Sea.
1t was, doubtless, produced at some
remote period by a volcanic eruption,
and 1t has been destroyed by an earth.
quake. Between the double ~catastro.
phe which marked its origin and its
disappearance, no history in the world
has made so little noise as the history
OF this island. If countries, like men,
have their personal glory, the Isle of
Juan Fernandez has certainly had its
share, in having afforded an asylum to
the sh'pwrecked mariner to whom Dan.
iei Detoe gave the immortal name of.
Robson Crusoe. The island took its
name from Juan Fernandez, a pilot Of.
