silver with them. snatched up, no doubt, in
haste and darkness But the fiery food was
on their track; and vain their wealth, their

Seen by the light of such an incident, how
wildly that night of horrors looms upon the
senses! Does not Imagination picture
that little group, in their own house, by the
side of their evening fountain, languidly
chattering over the days event and of the
unusual heat? Does it not hear, with them,
the troubled swell of the waters in the Bay
see, as they do, how the night comes
down in sudden strangeness, how the sky
opens over head and flames break out, while
scori@, sand, and molten rocks come pouring
down! What movement what emotion.
what surprise! The scene grows darker
every instant-the hollow monotone of the
Bay is lifted into yells and shrieks,-the air
grows thick with dust and hot with flames,
and at the mountains foot is heard the
deadly roll of the liquid lava. Jewels,
household goods, gold and silver coins, are
snatched up on the instant. No time to say
farewell; darkness in front, and fire behind
they rush into the streets-streets choked
with falling houses and flying citizens
How find the way through the passages
which have no longer outletse confusion,
danger. darkness, uproar everywhere; the
shouts of parted friends, the agony of men
struck down by falling columns fear
madness, and despair unclaimed here
Penury clutching gold it cannot keep.

Phrenzy striking in the dark to forestall

foods roll on, and wisdom, beauty, age, and
youth, with the stories of their love, thei'
hopes, their rank, greatness,-all the once

earthed after many ages, the nameless
group has no other Importance to mankind

Struck by lightning.

Mr.. Thomas Mcconnell and son, Of
Washington county, were struck by light
ming, ON the Dist ult., while in the har-
vest field. There was no indication OF
lightning before the occurrence, and the
sky was almost cloudIess. A tree about
100 yards distance from them was also
struck at the same time. The son says he
knew nothing Of what occurred, until
some time afterwards. he became con.
scious that he was lying on the ground
He raised up, and saw his father also ly-
ing on the ground with his face down. -.
He turned him over, when he appeared
lifeless--his face, being black from the
effects of the lightning. Assistance was
brought, and every means possible for the
restoration Of Mr.. Mcconnell used. After
a few days he was considered out of dam
ger. This is the second time Mr.. NJ. has
been struck by lightning. His house has
been struck twice. Neither the father or
son heard thunder. ana neither knew the
cause, at first, of their hurt.

Temperance.

The Quarterly Term Of the Grand Di-
vision of the Sons of Temperance is now
in session in Abingdon. The Virginian
says there are not very many in attendance,
but that the meetings are interesting
There seems, from the reports made, to be
a growing desire on the palt of the friends
of the order in the State. for a prohibitory
law. The question Of the institution Of
degrees, SO that members Of the order can
be known outside of the Lodge, like
Masons, Odd Fellows, &C.. is being cop
sidered.

The Cholera,

Tl.is mysterious and fatal disease has a.
bated none Of its malignity, but has rather
multiplied the number of the victims of ita
attack, since our last Issue. Its progress is
most distressing. Nothing but mourning
and weeping-blighted hopes aud crushed
affections - desolated hearth stones and
wrecked families, follow in its wake. Sud.
den as thought it enters happy family
circle and as swift as the wrayer's shuttle.
speeds the sting Of death. Father, mo-
ther and children fall helpless and hopeless
in each others sight, beneath its lradcn
stroke, to rise no more save at the bar of
final judgment. Truly it is a mysterious
agent, working out the mission Of sn IN
seen hand. The silvery locks of old age
ward not off the ruthless touch of this foe
to mortality. The elasticity and vigor Of
manhood. are alike impotent in resisting
It's insatate thirst tor human life. Joyous
YOUTH and blushing maidenhood, have not
charms sufficient to bride the relentless
monster to stay his blighting touch. The
mile OF innocent chiidhood-the coniid-
;,,.. baba on its mothers breast, cannot Sc
duce the tell destroyer from executing his
terrible mission. an. from the grey-head-
ed sire to the prattlins bal, like leaves be-
fore the autumn's wind, arc sw'sos away
He listens not to the sobs of breaking s;"ee'
ding hearts-heeds not the appeals Of Al. =
guish and distress but with ruthless hand
Stays right and lett, irrespective Of age,
condition or sex. The rich man who fares
sumptuouay every day, is suddenly placed
on level with the consumer of the reject
ed crumbs from his .able-both TO appear
before their God, whose justice is not cor
rupted BY silver and gold, and whose mer.
ey is not ashamed of bleeding sores.
All over the country, in the mountains
as well as in the low-lands, the symptoms.
of this dreadful disease exist. 1t is tue,
that in some localities it seems to have as
sumed a more virulent form than in others.
But wherever dysentery exists, great pre-
caution should bc.practiced, and disinfecting
agents used. Cleanliness and proper diet
have saved many. The..dyscntery has ex-
listed IN some parts Of this county, and in
Rockingham, 70 an alarming extent. And
hence persons cannot be too careful.

Cholera at the Tunnel.

We learn from statement in the Spec.
tator that there have been fourteen case.
of cholera at the Tunnel. On Monday
week two or three persons died. On
Wednesday, four or five; and ON Sunday
one. The disease is confined to the six o,
eight shan tees situated on the rav,ne run.
ming from near the top of the mountain a,
Rockfish to the Eastern mouth of the Tun.
nel---a distance OF sixty to a hundred
yards-and is hence attributed TO some
local cause. No. case has originated
in the neigbborhood out Of the locality
described.

following:
Rev. Dr.. Downey, the Catholic Priest
has exerted himself both as a temporal ans
spiritual adviser. and is constant in his
ministratons TO the sick he endeayors TO
Nuke his people mole clearly IN their per-
sons and houses, and reasons with them
against the use of whiskey, which poisons
and destroys their bodies, teaching them
cleanliness and temperance as well as god
illness. We wish him all the success of A
Father Mathew, and trust that his parish

ease now prevailing there.
