TREMENDOUS SToRM!-DEsrRUCTioN OF PRoP-
ERrY AND Loss OF LIFE!!-We have been favor
ed with. the perusl of letter, written at Shrews-
burg, York county, Pennsylvania, on the eve
ming ofthe 9Th inst, to gentlemen Of this city,
from which we learn that most tremendous
storm occurred there on that evening, causing
great destruction ofproperty, and personal injury,
anu loss of life. 1t commenced about half past
O'Clock, with rain and high wind, blowing with
the force of hurricane from the southwest. In
few minutes the whole town was thrown into
confusion and uproar; and horror and consterna-
non look the possession OF every breast. Nearly
every house in the place was submerged, and Il
number entirely destroyed. The roofs OF many
were blown of, and the street presented most
uepIorable scene ofmin. On the main street the
houses were Unroofed. The Methodist meeting
house has been destroyed. In one of the back
streets dwelling house was entirely thrown
down, buTying two families under the ruins
those Of Mr.. Grevell and of Mr.. Neller. Mrs.
Grevell was killed, Mr.. G. dangerously hurt, and
several Of his children so severely njured that it
was not expected they could survive. All the
buildings on an alley, with the exception of Two
sSaa5es have bern s Ine barn and a
were blown down and scattered about the lot
his carriage was broken into pieces under the III.
ms, and his colleague, name not given, had
horse killed. The account is but partial, as at
the time, and under the circumstances, il was i'm
possible for Mr.. c. to ascertain the full extent
and all the particulars ofihe devastation, which
ihe next morning would reveal. Even while he
was yet writing he could hear the groans and
rhreks Of bis peigascc:s:, mingled with the roar Of
the elements, that were sweeping their property
to destruction and putting their lives in peril.
This visitation which, had it come in day time.
wonld have been eminenlly horrible and heart
rcnding, occurring as it did in the darkness IN
creasing the confusion, and rendering the preser.
yhtlon OF persons and property the more difficult.
1t is to be feared that the full revelation of the
next morning will show great addition to the
amount OF damage given above.-BaH. Sun.
CHANGES.
To hear the Harrison men clorify
about the changes that have taken place ia
favor of Harrison, stranger would sun.
pose that the whole country was runnino
wild after the tune Of "Hard Cider and
Log Cabin"
Perhaps, however, it would look little
more sober to compare as far as NAV he
practicable, the present state of affairs
with their situation at the last election
Atthat time, White was in this section
the only candidate who received anv vo,o.
except Van Buren,. We are informed
that White beat Van Buren, IN Rnssel
county, Ala. S TO l, in Lowndes comfy
Ala. 8 TO !. In both these counties W.
understand, both parties now claim The
majority; what say you gentlemen. viii
Harrison beat in Russell 10 or Q 10 ~
In this county, White beat Van Ruren
upwards Of 400. Our own opinion il that
Van Buren, will beat Harrison hero y
November, and we don't think the widest
Harrison man would contend for major.
ity Of more than fifty.
Where then, is all this great chance
that we lear so much about? Where sre
the men either in Georgia or elsewhere
who supported Van Buren, al The las,
election, who nowsuppor Harrison? We
can point out great many who opposed
him then and support him now, but # we
know Of any man who supported him then
and is now supporting Harrison, we can.
not call him 10 mind. The truth is. we
think this thiag will turn out like the De.

little WOOL" Georgia Argus.
