A DISASTROUS hail storm occurred at CO.
lubus (Ga) Thursday, which destroyed pro-
perty, it is supposed, to the amount of
sl5O,ooo. Tie Times says:
Almost every house in the city was in
Jured. The Warehouse of Mr.. Rankin,
Gunby, Daniel & Co., were all partially
blown down and unroofed. Six or cirht
store houses about Rankin's corner had their
front walls entirely prostrated. Many pri-
vate residences were partially unroofed.-
Almost every chimney in the city is down.
and our shade trees cumber the streets with
their fallen trunks and broken branches
Taylor & Co.'S Gin Factory was unroofed
and incalculabIe injury done to large mum.
Der of Gins already finished, and to the
tools and machinery used in the manufac-
ture. 1t is reported that the bridge in Gil
rard was blown down, and wagon, driver
and team prccipitated into the depths be-
low. No lives were lost in our city. The
damage is immense, but in the confusion
consequent upon SO great calamity, it is
impossible to estimate it."

How MURAT MET HIS FATE.-Thc sen
tcncc OF the military commission was read
to him with due solemnity. lie listened to
it us he would have listened to the cannon
OF another battle during his military life,
equally without emotion or bravado. He
neither asked for pardon, for delay, nor for
appeal. He advanced Of his own accord
toward the door, rs if to accelerate the
catastrophe. The door opened on II narrow
csplanadc, lying between the towers of the
castle and the outer walls. Twelve soldiers.
with loaded muskots awaited him there
The narrow space did not permit them to
stand sufficient distance to deprive death
of paIt Of its horror. Murat in stepping
over the threshold of his chamber. found
himself face to face with them. lie rcfu-
scd to let his eyes be Landaged; and look
ing at the soldiers with firm and hcncvo-
lent smile, "My friends" said he, "do not
make me suffer by taking bad aim. The
narrow space naturally compes you almost
to rest the muzzles of your muslcts on nv
breast do not trcmbc, do not strike me
III the tace-aim at the heart here it is"
AS he spoke thus, he placed his right
hand upon his coat, to indicate the position
OF his heart. In his left hand small me-
daliion. which contained in one focus of
love, the image of his wife and of his four
children, us it he wished thus to make ;hcm

tance by twelve Tails, fell with the arms
open and the face to the earth, us if still
embracing the kingdom which lie had once
possessed, and which he had come to recon
4uer for his tomb. They threw clcak upon
the body, which was buried in the cathedral
of Pizzo. Thus died the most chiv:lrous
