The magnificent Cathedral of Saragossa-the no.
blest specimen Of Architecture in Spain-was des-
troyed by lightning on the 18th of April The whole
population had turned out in their gayest attire to
celebrate the Holy Sacrament, and just as the i'm
mense crowd had taken shel.er within the massive
walls, from the torrents that were pouring from
the skies, = terrible crash was heard, accompanied
by noise louder than the roaring of Artillery
The lightning had struck the spires of the Cathe-
dral the bell ringer struck Dead and the grace
full architecture wss soon sheet of fame. All
rushed out, ?referrng water to fire. Soon the roof
fell in, and the sosooi~g was in ruins.

So much has the farmer lost in that form alone;
and to this might be added that the same policy
has driven hundreds of nds to seekCafornia,

diminished immigration to foreign countries, that

The storm.

sor the past week we have been visited with a
socoesslon OF rain storms. The one Monday
1tsfnoon was the severest, and did some damage.
The steam ferry boat, Flint Hills, was on its way
from Stockholm with large load, when the wind
chopped suddenly round to the north and blew quite
4 gale. Both chimneys were blown down, the star
board wheel was made almost wreck and the pi-
lot house was nearly crushed in. The shrieks of
the women and children on board are said to have
been terrific. Hawk-Eye Creek Bridge on Boun.
Diary Street 0st one Of Its abutments and several !!
lars In town filled with water. From the violence Of
TIE storm and the torrents of rein that fell, we are
surprised that no more damage was done.
P.S.-Since the above was in type, we learn that
the storm was very severe, north of Flint. Nc
lIichael's and Nc Alister's barns were both blown
down, and portion of the latters dwelling was de-
nolished, fences for miles, were prostrsted, and,
owing to the hail, hundreds of panes Of glass
were broken. The crops are very much injured.
We have only space to say that the Gazette's ar

Time for Cutting Wheat.

Many of tho most intelligent wheat grow
ers of England contend that the cutting of
wheat should commence whenever the straw,
z Immediately below the ear, is SO dry, than on
twisting il no juice can be expressed, for
Z Sthen the grain cannot improve, as the circu-
! lation of juice to the ear is stopped; that il
matters not that the stalk below is green, and
! that every hour the grain stands uncut, after
5passing this state, is attended with loss.
Though brief, the reasons assigned for the
spracticc of early harvesting, cary much force
swith them, and are worthy of serious consid-
eeration. 1t must appear evident TO every
projecting wheat grower, that when the source
lot nutrimental supply is cut off between the
head of the grain, the stalk snd the roots, by
the drying up Of an inch or so beneath the
I head, that no farther benefit can bo derived
I by the berry, and that, tho longer it may re-
: main thereafter uncut so much moro will be
the loss from scattering. Ii is also asserted,
that the early cut wheat is heaUier, thinner
skinned, and makes more flour. One thing
I is very certain, that the straw harvested in
the state indicated,is much better adapted to
! the purpose of feeding, as it must be more
! nutritious than that which may not be cut un
l I'll it has become perfectly dry.

Merely stamped and nothing more.
Then, again, trimmed the taper, and once more

Aged, forsaken, antique paper-its ancient contents
When the same mysterious grating sat my nerves
again vibrating
And the rapping, tapping, grating somewhat louder
than before,
Seemed like some saving wood beneath my
Saving wood, and nothing more.
As listened, each particular hair atood upright per

In f,ful calculating, sat vainly estimating
What this curious, ommous gruting meant, beneath
the office floor
What this ee.saw, shuiling scuiaing, grating was,
beneath the Office floor
Thus sat, and eyed the floor
And while thus watching, gazing, pondering trem-
bling, fearing, wondering,
suddenly the moor was sunderng, as for Banquo's
ghost of yore,
And while gazing much astonished--all my sense
confused, confounded---
Instantly therefrom there bounded n staid and
stately Rat upon the Office aoor--
grey and grzley, ghastly, gaunt, gigantic Rat up
on the lloOr;
Anlhe eyed me from the floor.
Not the leost obedience made he, but moment on

And while gazing at each other, suddenly Outsprang

MYSTERY.


There is theme of deepest thought.
'Tis found pcrvading every spot,
This theme, too deep for mortal ken,
Has oft employed the authors pen.
While turned aside from hattery
His thoughts communcd with mystery,
Its strains vibrate Ger miles OF wire,
Its wonders glow in hidden fire,
They're heard in oceans frightful roar,
As roll the waves from shore to shore;
'Tis then amid their minstrelcy
We hear the tones of mystery.
There is mystery deep in the thunder's tone
There is mystery too in the winds low means
There is mystery oft in the ways of men,
There is mystery too in the inky pen,
Tongue cannot tell its potency
Yet it fails TO tell oil mystery.
There is mystery breathed in every breath,
And mystery hangs DER the bed of death;
Beyond the grave, are mysteries deep,
In the world where none shall wake to weep
hnd the God who fills eternity
Is the center and dsum of mystery. Homo.

Deficitin tI,e Trensury.

A few weeks back when there was discov-
cred large deficit in the Treasury, which to
make up would require large loan by Gov
eminent, the Democratic papers throughout
the length and breadth of the Union, were
loud and bosterous in their charges upon the
Wing Administration. The deficit being dis
covered while a Wing Administration was in
power. these sheets sought to gull the peo-
pie into the belief that 1t must necessarily be
the consequence of Wing misrule. To-be-
sure they did not believe this themselves
but they thought the proper information
could be withheld from the people, and by
trades of abuse against the Wings, the peo-
ple would believe the fault theirs. But late
w there has not been word said about this
"alarming deficit" by Democratic Sheets
And why ? Because it has been proven the
result Of Democratic policy-of n1isrule, as
they would term it, if it were the conse-
quence OF Wing policy. Secretary Mere
dith's Report tells precisely whence sprang
this deficit. 1t was produced under Polk:
Administration, and before the Wings came
IN power. The Democrats now discover j
was no great deficit after all 1t is now a
horse Of another color. The Mexican war
with lis enormous expenses, was the cause o
this deficit, and a neglect in Mr.. Meredith:
predecessor to provide during his own ad
ADMINISTRATION TO meet all these expenses.
Mr.. Meredith proposes that authority bC
given to raise such a sum not exceeding SIG,
100000, as may be found necessary, from
time to time by the issue of stock or Treasu
~ notes, on such terms of interest (not ex

has been introduced into the House of Con-
gress by Mr. Wentworth, asking grant for
the State of Illinois ola donation of land and
right of way to make Railroad connecting

the Lower Mississippi at Cairo Such a bill
last session came within four votes of becom-
ing law. As citizen of Cairo, we looked
eagerly for its passage, knowing that if the
donation were granted, Cairo would COM
mence its growth as a city. If the bill now

the same.

fectually enforced in practice without some
system of general supervision more perfect
in this respect than can be established under
the existing provision of law, which merely
gives to the Secretary of the Treasury au-
thority to direct the appraisers for any col
lection district to attend to any other collec-
ton district for the purpose of appraising any
goods, wares and merchandise imported
therein.
f. The laying lower duty upon nom
enumerated articles than is imposed upon
those which are enumerated, leads to attempts
at disguise, and to controversies and unnec-
essary litigation, which would be avoided by
making the duty on non-enumerated articles
higher than on the others.
Different rates of duty on manufactures OF
the same material are also inconvenient, and
the same remark applies to the different
rates imposed upon the manufactures of wool
and manufactures of worsted
The effect of laying the same or a higher
rate of duty on the raw material than is i'm
posed on the manufactured article too evil
IDENTIFY tends to iniure our industry,in compet-
ton with that of other countries, to requi
more than a passing observation.
