MARRIED..

On the 18th inst, by Rev. S. F. Grier, Mr..
w. B. MERCER, Druggist, of Upper Sandusky,
and Miss 10. MoRRIsoN, of Frankfort Springs
Pa.
When Mr. Mercer left our town, we numbered
one less, but we are glad to see the addition up
on his return. The poet says:
Welded love is founded on esteem,
Which the fair merits of the mind engage,
For those are charms that never can decay;
But time, which gives new whiteness to the
swan,
Improves their lustre.
On Sabbath the 22d day of January, 1854, at
Tymochtee, by JAS H. Erect, Mr.. ROBERT GrB-
son and Miss AMANDA THATCHER, all of Ty-
mochtee township.

A Hero and his Grave.

A correspondent at Shephardstown.
Va, who was fellow soldier, has paid
the following brief tribute to gallant he
ro, who now has his grave in the rolling
surge of the Atlantic:
Colonel John M. Washington, who was
lost from on board the ill-fated steamer,
San Francisco, and whose death will send
a shock to thousands of his friends in the
United States, in Mexico was as gallant
a soldier, as perfect gentleman, and as
pure a man as ever breathed the breath OF
life-"I knew him well, Horatio," and
believe that if all the acts of his life had
been written on his forehead, he would not
have drawn his hat over it.
1t will be recollected that he command
ed the breast-work battery on the extreme
right of our line at the battle of Buena
Vista-where, with his four guns, he eff
fectually checked every effort of the en-
envy to turn their flank. His other two
guns were on the field, under the COM
mand of subaltern. AT the close of
the battle, when the enemy made his last
and expiring effort to recover the day by
the charge of FIVE thousand lancers upon
McKee's Kentucky, and Harding's Hi
nois Regiments, Washington's guns were
loaded with shell, and fearing that in their
explosion they might injure our own
troops, he deliberately drew every shell,
then reloaded with round shot, and as the
enemy came down on the devoted regl-
ments, he opened his fire again, and NOW
ed them down like hay before the scythe
BY this timely and unusual change of pro
jectiles, he saved the regiments until
Bragg's battery came into action again,
which, combining with Washington s,
drove the enemy from the field, and "wou
the day."

Dreadful Tornado---BraadonG - .royed
---Loss of life.
ss- MT F1RuoE. Jan. FL.
Yesterday afternoon 81. section of the
country wss visited By Zoe heaviest storm
of wind, rain, thunder and lightning VIC
have had since 1928. The tornado was
the severest about six miles south of us.
The town of Brandon was almost en-
alrely destroyed. Scarcely house is left
to mark the site of the place.
A Doctor Wheaton, Of Brandon, was
severely if not fatally injured.
A Mrs. Smith had her arm broken
and her head severely cut by the falling O
her house, SO much so that her life is des
paired of.
The tornado was about half mils
wide, tearing up everything in its track.
At Brandon, large two-story houses
were moved from their foundation ten O.
twelve feet.
The full extent of damage we are ye
I. unable to learn.
Our streams overfowed their banks
and in attempting to cross "Armstront
run" last evening, Mr.. Ebenezer Jen kin
was thrown from his buggy and drowned
The stable of Buckingham & Co., Q
this place, was struck by lightning.
In violence the tornado was little behin
that known here as the Burlington tor
nado," in the year 1928.
The lower parts of our town were al
most inundated with the tremendous quar-
tity of rain, and our streets looked MOI
like rivers than common thoroughfares.
The damage must be great, as the SCI
ton through which the storm passed W;
ihickly settled.
