The Charleston Cour Ter, Van Buren, paper
thus speaks of General Harrison:
General HariSon.-It has been rendered
manifest we trust, by our course hitherto, that
we are not among those who, merely because
we favor another candidate for the Presidency,
would vilify General HARRISON, msrepresent his
views, or rob him Of the laureIs he earned SO
wellhy his SIX i'll and prowess in the wars of our
republic, both against the ruthless savage and

Important from England.-A royal order has
been pubIs declaring Prince Albert entitled
to precedence next the Queen.-The effect OF
this order is, we suppose, TO give Prince Albert
the right to walk with his wife, to stand with
his wife, to sit with his wife, Sc, without hay

Dukes thurst in between them. 1t is a very
reasonable order; and we hope the peace of the

so indispensable to the peace of the Royal Fam.

Sore TEArs IN ows. MEssRs EDIroRs--
AS many of our farmers suffer severely annually
by swollen utlders and teats in their nilch cows,
the following is cheap, simple, and most sure
remedy. ...
Take the bark of the root of the shrub COM
monty called bitter sweet, wash and simmer it
with a small quantity of lard, until it is very
yellow, and when cool, apply it to the parts that
are swollen, two or three times day, until the
udder and teats are perfectly soft and free from
kernels. 1t has been tried with great success in
our vicinity. FARMER.

An extra from the Austin (Texas) Gazette re.

to the editor of the Gazette by an American in
Mexico, stating that he saw David Crockett
"alive and kicking" in mine in Mexico. The
circumstances detailed give an air of piausbiliiy
to the statement, but rather think old David

TREMENDOUS STORM.

We have been favored with the perusal of n
letter written at Shrewsbury, York Co. PenDsyl
vania, on the evening of,he 9th inst, TO gentle
man Of this city from which learn that n
most tremendous storm occurred there on that
evening, causng great destruction of property,
personal injury and loss Of life. 1t commenced
about half past 8 o'clock, with rain and high
wind blowing with the force of hurricane
from the south west. In a few minutes tie
whole town was thrown into confusion and up
roar, and horror and CONSERVATION took pos
session of every breast.-Nearly every house in
the place was submerged, and n number entirely
destroyed. The roofs Of many were blown off,
and the street presented n most deplorablc scene
of ruins.-On the main street the houses were
nnIooled. The Methodist meeting house has
been destroyed In one Of the back streets n
dwelling house was entirely thrown down, bu-
rying two families under the ruins-those of MIR
B. Grevel and of Mr. Neller Mrs Grevell was
killed, Mr. G. dangerously hurt and several OF
his children so severely hurt that was not ex.
pected they could survive. All the buildings
on an alley with en- exception Of two squares
have been prosrated. The barn and stables of
the writer of Mis- letter, Isaac Collins, Esq.
were blown down and scattered about the lot;
his carriage was broken into pieces under the
ruins, and his colleague, name not gveu had a
horse kled.-.1'he account is but partial, at
the time, and under the circumstances, il was
impossible for MIR G. TO ascertain the full extent
and all the particulars of the devastation which
the next morning would reveal. Even willie he
was yet writing he could hear the groans and
the shrieks of his neighhors, mingled with the
roar OF the elements, thni were sweeping their
properly to destruction and putting their lives i'm
peril. This visitation which, had it come in the
day time would have been emnen'ly horrible
aud heart rending, occurring as it did in the
darkness increasing the confusion, and render.
ing The preservation Of persons md property the
more difficult. Ii il TO be feared tina; the full
revelation of the next morning will show great
addition to tie amount of damage given above
