II THE ODD FAMILY.-In the reign Of King
William the Third. there resided at Ipswich
Il a family, which, from the peculiarites be-
longing 10 it. was distinguished by the name
Of the Odd Family. Every event, remarka-
| bly, good or bad, happened to this family on
/ :he odd day of the month, and every member
had something odd in his or her person, man
ner and behavior. The very letters of their
| Christian names always happened to be an
odd number. The husbands name was Pc
ter, and bis wifc's Rabah they had seven
children, all boys.viz. Solomon Roger James,
Matthew, Jonas, David, and Ezekiel. The
husband had but one leg, his wife but one
arm. Solomon was born blind of the left
eye, and Roger lost his sight by accident
James had his ear bit off by boy, in n quar-
rel, and Matthew was born with only three
fingers on his right hand. Jonas had stump
foot, and David was hump-backed. All
these, except David, were remarkably short,
while Ezekiel was six feet one inch high at
the age of nineteen. The stump footed Jonas
and The hump backed David got wives of for
tune, bu; 10 girl in the borough would listen
to the addresses of their brothers. The nus
bands hair was as black as jet,and the wife's
remarkably white yet all tie childrcn's hair
was red. The husband was killed by acci-
dentally falling into deep pit in the year
1901 and his wife refusing all kind Of sus-
tenance, died five days after him. In the
year 1903, Ezekiel enlisted as grenadier,
and although he was afterwards wounded in
SO places, ,he recovered. Roger, james, Mat.
thew, Jonas, and David, it appears by the
church registcrs, died in different places, and
were buried on the same day, in the year
1913; and Solomon and Ezekiel were drown
ed together in crossing the Thames, in the
year 1723-[ London Star.

Severe Hail Storm.-The great and sudden
change of temperature experienced within the
last few days, has induced much anxiety, lest it
should prove to have been the effect of hail, in
some neighboring quarter. The apprehension
has been well founded in part, as will be seen
by the subjoined letter from Friendship, small
village in Anne Arundel county, ten or twelve
miles beyond polis.-Bah. Pat.
"FR1ENDsHlp, A. A. Go. May %, 1899.
Yesterday we had one of the severest hail
storms ever experienced in this neighborhood,
which, although not as violent in the vicinity Of
this village, was very destructive to all the
try southwest of us. Information has reached
us of several wheat fields having been cut to pie
ces, tobacco beds ruined, barns, out-houses and
chmneys blown down, and all the windows de-
moished. There never was such destruction
before; the hail laid in some places six inches
deep, and as large as the eggs Of hens. Every
hour brings US fresh intelligence Of damage done
to fences and trees, and of our neighbors having
lost hogs, calves, &C."
There was slight fall of hail within few
miles of this city, about the same time, but the
damage thus caused, we are glad to learn, was
quite inconsderabie.

LATEST FROM MEXICO.

BY the arrival of the U. S. cutter Woodbury.,
Captain Nicholas, we have received files Of Tam
pico papers up to the 18th ut, and letters of the
18th.
The dates brought by the Woodbury. from Vera
Cruz are not SO late as those previously brought
by the Wetter.
The intelligence of Mexia's defeat near Pue-
bla, created great excitement at Tampico. The
inhabitants were preparing with vigor for the de-
fence of the place against Arista's forces, which
were on the point Of attacking it. Strangers en-
gagged in commerce, in dread of such an event,
were seeking protection on board of the vessels
moored outside the bar, with their most valuable
effects.
Arista had taken measures to induce the peo-
pie of 'Tampico to declare for the central GO
vernment, and had issued procamations to con-
ciliate them.
The native American., 1839-06-08

The proclamation of the commander Of Tan
pico shows a decided dissemination TO defeE
the place.
The 18th May the troopsef Bustamente wei
within cannon shot of Tampfeo. The day befo
they had captured an advanced post, with feebl
garrison, and they were preparing TO make an al
tack on the place.
An officer of an American vessel had gone I
Bustamente's camp, as we ar told, in conse
quence of the circular of Arista, to the consul
in Tampico. He was instructed, according
our informant, to say to Bustamente that the sloo>
of war, from which he came, would afford EN-
Gent protection to the American citizens and thel
property, in case either the one or the other weT
menaced by the Mexican army.
General Urea arrived at Tampico the 18th
May, 1.-THE day on which the Woodbury. sailed.
with fifty men, the remains OF the army which
had been defeated at Puebla.
The Notifications Of 'rampico are sufficient.
strong to resist an assault from Bustamente.-
Those Notifications were erected by Mexia ant
an Italian engineer, named Vicell, who had re
sided some time in that city. IL the regulars an.
militia, who amount to eleven or twelve hundred
men, determine to resist with vgor, they will be
able to make successful defence. Riebrud will
add somewhat 10 their strength.
A private letter informs us that Santa Ann:
had ordered the army that gained the battle
Ruebla 70 join Bustamente in his operations
against Tampico, and The reinforcement was daily
expected to join.
If this report be correct, Tampico will hardly
be able to hold out long-as the besieging army
will number near four thousand men, with strong
train Of artillery. -Louisianian, 3lst May.
