A singular death by cholera occurred

prepare the body for the shroud, when

had claimed its own, aud the spirit of the
victim flown. Arrangements were accor,

Frightful Calamity in Louisville, Dis
tressing Loss of Life by the Fan OF a
Church
The telegraph furnishes brief account
of an appalling tornado which visited
Louisville, KY, on Sunday the 18th ult
about IL o'clock, while service was going
on in the churches. The storm passed
over that part of the city lying between
Fifth and Twenty-frst streets, and sc
great was its fury that fully 100 build
ings were unroofed or otherwise injured
and others were completely demolished.
The Third Presbyterian Church, on the
corner of Eleventh and Walnut streets
large brick ediice-was destroyed, roof,
rafters and walls falling while the con-
gregation were worshipping. Twenty
persons were instantly crushed to death,
and some ten or twenty others were scri-
ously wounded; the scene was heartrend-
ing. In few moments large crowd
assembled around the ruins and commec-
ed an active serach for the victims. A
mother and her three children were found
grouped in death Another scene pre-
sented a father, mother and young child
the father dead and the mother NOR
tally wounded, while their little child,
placed between them, escaped unhurt, be-
ing protected by the forms of it's parents.
In other instances persons were extricated
terribly bruised and manned.
The catastrophe has stricken constern-
alton into the very heart of the city, and
its citizens are appalled, beyond express
sion. The following is a list ofkilled
Mrs. Uldabee, and three children; VIM.
Taylor and child; Mr. Godfrey; Mrs.
Salisbury; Miss Headly; John McGowan;
Mrs. Sweeny; Mrs. Martin, wife of John
A. Martin, saddler; Mrs. Wicks, neicc Of
Mrs. Martin; Mr.. Harbour; Mr.. McClei.
land; Mr. r. Dairs, a resident of new AL
bany.; Mr.. Mcbride and child.
1t is thought that one or two others
were killed, whose names have not been
learned.
A SPLENDID block of four story houses
recently erected on the north side of Main
street, between Eighth and Ninth streets,
was completely destroyed, and two or
three men are supposed to be buried in
the ruins. These buildings cost $4,000
The upper story of the rope and bagg-
ing factory of W. A. Richardson & Co.,
on Magazine street, was blowD down,
and the new city school house on the cor
ner of Ninth and Magazine streets was
unroofed. The total loss is estimated at
100000.
The storm was also very severe in
Jefersonville, where four houses were
blown down.

that or any other subject, and his croco-
die lachrymations over the "poor for
eigners" will not much engage their SYM
pathies, nor serve to avert attention (as
they were no doubt intended) from the
question at issue. What the public have
demanded. and now require from Mr..
Chambers, is that letter in which Gov
ernor Bigler assured him he would sign
any constitutional prohibitory liquor law.
lie does not now deny that he has such
a letter, but endeavors to make false i'm
preston by saying that he has no letter
inconsistent with the Governor letter 70
the Temperance Convention.o There
may possibly be some difference Of opln-
ion in regard to its Consistency" and as
Mr.. Chambers is beginning to be consid-
cred rather unsafe guide in this temper
ance progress, it would relieve the public
if he would produce the letter and let
them decide upon its contents. 1t at last
remains from all Mr.. Chambers has said,
that Governor Bigler or himself, or both
cf them, are playing a dishonest, double
game on the temperance question, and
unless Mr.. Chambers produces the letter,
the odium of gross attempt at political
fraud lies justly with him.

Monroe County.

The Democratic delegates are unani-
mou>ly in favor Of the denomination OF
Mr. Asa Packer, of Carbon county, for
Congress, and of the nomination Of Mr.
james II. Walton, of Monroe county, for
State Senator, in place of Mr.. L. W.
Hamlin, whose term Of service has expir-
ed. We have heard it said that Mr.
Packer does not wish to continue in Con
gress, and that after be shall be re-nom-
mated be will decline. The reason ASST gn-
ed is the pressure Of bis large private bus
iuess. We hope there is no foundation
for this report; not that we want to have
Mr. Packer reelected, far from it; but
We do desire that the people of this Con
gressioual district should have an oppor
tuuity to pass judgment on his course
upon the Nebraska bill. We are not full
ID the belief that in case be should be the
candidate he would be defeated but we
are confident that his majority would be
so greatly reduced as to amount to very
decided rebuke, and we are not without
hopes that he would be entirely over
thrown. We do not say this lightly, or
in the way of political gascouade; but
from an inwrought conviction that Mr.
Packer can be beaten by an independent
auti-Nebraska democrat of good abilities
and unexceptionable character.-Hones,
