SINGULAR EFPEoTs OF A SToRM.--The storm
which prevailed with more or less violence over
n large part of this county, on the evening Of
the 10Th utimo, left in the township of Hunt
ngton very amusing and, withal, malicious
evidence of its power.
The family of Mr. Gross had retired to rest
as usual in the evening, and, wrapped in the
sweet sleep known to honest industry, were I'M
conscious of the mischievous pranks of the
storm-king, On opening the door next morn
ing, MIR. G. was bewildered by the altered APP
pearance and position of things around him,
md at first imagined that he was in his barn
instead of house. Yet, there was the fireplace,
and standing in it the barrel Of soap made the
day previous, the chairs, the cat upon the
hearthstone, and all the utensils of the kitchen.
Assured from this survey that there was some
thing wrong with either his head or his house,
he presently discovered that the barn, or shed,
had been entirely demolished-blown away by
the storm; and that the house, frame dwell
ing. had been lifted from it's foundation and
carried across the road, distance Of eighty
feet, and set down upon the spot where the
barn had stood. Not one of the family had
been awakened by the shock, the barrel of soap
had not been disturbed; pals, dishes, and tables
| seemed oil unconscious Of change and, upon
examination at the point where the house stood,
\ in it's migration, 1t must have crossed the road,
though there was not q mark or evidence that
any reluctant plank or board had dragged on
the ground. - Cdrbondaie Transcript

WIsE's BALLooNING.-Mr. John Wise, of Ian
caster, Pennsylvania, made his one hundred and
twentieth balloon ascension at Columbus, Ohio,
on the fourth. He ascended beautifully to the
height Of one mile, but owing to leak in his
balloon could not stay up long While up he
tried some experiments relative to falling bodies
Upon throwing overheard some pieces of thin
board, about three feet long by six inches wide,
they assumed a revolution around their longer
axis, and gyratory motion in circle of about
two hundred feet diameter This, he says, they
always do. E aN

ACTING ANOTHER PART.--The Buffalo Cou-
rter states that Mr.. Silsbee, the well known
Yankee comedian, has received the appoint
ment of bearer of dispatches to Europe, and
sails on the 10Th instant in the steamer Pacific.
Will the Courier inform us whether this is a
duty of honor, trust, or profit?

BY command Of the President:

II. JUNES, AuJutant GENERAL
The President appears to us to travel out of
the record in Conforming Col. Huger, but he
doubtless knows well what he is about, and we
feel assured that justice is his aim.
His remarks respecting the private CORES
pohdence OF men in official stations on official
business IRE very important, and the people OF
the United States would be great gamers if
they could understand the extent Of the abuses
practised in this manner.
1t is proper here to remark, that General
Taleott's defence was that lie had given an or
der, and not made a contract, aud that the usage
Of the Department authorized this. The Secre-
tary does not appear to see the difference, in
effect, between the two modes of purchase.

Queen Victoria's lord chamberlain has signi-
fed, in accordance with the command of her
majesty, to Viscount Maiden, that his presence
can be dispensed with at court, in consequence
of his having seduced the wife of Capt Hawkins
Capt. H. has had one shot at the viscount, but
unfortunately, did not kill him.
If things continue to progress in this way,
royal folks will by-and-by become as decent ms
other people; but we suppose that win be about
the time when royalty shall be worn out.

BEoGARs.--The Cincinnati Times says there
is n house near the head of Vine street in that
city, where some fifteen or twenty professional
street-beggars reside. An officer of police states
that they average from five to ten dollars a day
each by their vocation, and pass their evenings
in revelry and debsuchery. They are all able.
bodied men and women, but when they 60 out
begging they profess lameness in various ways.

INDIAN DfsTURBANoEs.--An cxperss arrived
in Milwaukee, on the 9th instant, from the
United States Indian Agent, requesting the at
tendance Of a small force at the Indian Council,
to be held In Dodge county on the 9TH instant.
The Indians had congregated in the neigbbor-
hood to the number Of several hundred, and
we're committing serious depredations These
Indians emigrated to Minnesota last year, I'M

satisfied have returned. ' 0A

FALSE REfoRTs.-For the first time since we
have been before the public we have been &c
cused of disappearing facts and that with
reference to the Talcott trial. The result shows
who pas right! We nope our friends and con-
temporaiies viii have charity. To be promp,

regardlessncss of truth. Our readers, how
ever, will bear witness that we do not mislead
them.

The Congress Of New Grenada, we are informed,
have passed bill granting to North American
company an exclusive right to make o canal
through their territory, by which large vessels
may pass from the waters of the Atlantic to
those Of the Pacific. The terms, we are told,
are very liberal. and the route likely to be
chosen is easy, while the expense is not likely
to be great. The company expect also to have
it in their power to derive other advantages Of
