a STORM IN INDIA.

The following report from correSpon.
dent, on whom we can rely, of an awful
phenomenon, happily unknown in tenn
perate climates, will be read with aston
ishment: ''At 3 p. IN. of the 10th Of
April, while we were measuring the cir
eumference of large hailstones that fell
lightly about us, a ter rife storm passed
to the southwest Of the station, about
seven miles off The accounts brought
Us by natives next morning Were so
strange that did not believe them, but
after soLle gentlemen had visited the spot,
and confirmed all, [, too, went to see the
wreck left by the hurricane. As some
days had elapsed since the occurrence, |
found it impossible to approach the chaos
from the putrefaction of numbers of dead
bodies. An eyewitness told me that while
it was blowing pretty stiff the south
west, a jet black mass of cloud, towering
high aloft ard almost touching the ground,
was seen to approach another similar
mass advancing rapidly from the opposite
direction.
They whirled round each other, the
heat became intense, and, enveloped in
the greatest darkness, houses, bamboos,
trees, men, women, and cattle were
hurled in the whirlwind, dashed in all
directions against trees, impaled on BAN.

sides of the track of the storm huge
hailstones fell of the size of bricks. The
track was about 800 yards broad its
length is not known, nor the extent of
the devastation aScertained; SO dead
bodies were counted by gentlemen who
went there; Is persons with limbs torn
and mangled, with broken arms and legs,
are in the hospital. Report says that
800 have been killed, besides no end Of
cattle. l think it very probable. As
the natives build their houses, each fam.
lily in little separate farms, hid in clumps
of bamboos with intermediate fields, the
scene presented is that of numbers of
undistinguishable masses of clumps of
bambOos, and trees torn up, crossing
each other in every direction and blocked |
up with earth and materials that had
formed houses, so entirely broken up
that nothing could be recognized as hav-
ing formed roof or sides. In fact, boxes,
beds, and things made of planks, were
so broken into pieces of q foot or two,
and thrown about, that it was not always
easy to imagine what they had belonged
to. From under the masses OF ruooiSh

LOOK BEFORE You KrCK.-A minister
in one Of OR orthodox churches, while on
his way to preach funeral serman in the
country, called TO see one OF his members,
an old widow lady, who lived near the
road he was travelling. The old lady had
just been making Sausages, and she felt
proud of them, they were 50 plump, round
and sweet. Of course she insisted on the
minister taking some of the links home
to his family. He objected, on account
of not having his portmanteau along. -
This objection was soon overrulei, and
the old lady, after wrapping them in
rag, carefully placed bundle in either
pocket of the preachers capacious coat.
Thus equipped be started for the funeral.
While attending to the solemn ceremo-
MES Of the grave, some hungry dogs
scented the SsuSages, and were not long
in tracking them to the pockets of the
good man S overcOat. OF course this was
great annoyance, and he was several
times under the necessity Of kicking these
whelps away. The obSequies at the
grave completed, the minister and con-
gregatioR repaired TO the church where
the funeral discourse Was 10 be preached.
After the sermon was finished, the
minister halted to make some remarks to
his congregation, when brother, who
wished to have an appointment given out,
ascended the steps of the pulpit, and gave
the minister's coat hitch, TO get his at
tention. The divine thinking il dog
having design upon his pocket, raised
his foot, and gave Sudden kick, and
sent the good brother sprawling down
the steps.
You will excuse me, brethren and
sisters - said the minister, confused, and
without looking at the work he had just
done, ''for [ could not avoid it. have
Sausages in my pocket, and that dog has
been trying to grab them ever since
came upon the premises :"
Your readers may judge Of the effect
such an announcement would have at a
funeral.-Germantolrn PA Emporium.

respectable looking young man, named
Broadhead, appeared at the Adelaide Po-
lice Court on the 4th inst, to procure
his runaway wife, for stealing watch, the
property of person that lodged with
him near Melbourne: and a man named
William Todd, the paramour of the wo-
man, for stealing q variety of articles the
property of the prosecutor. 1t appeared
Todd was boarder with Mr.. Broadhead.
who lived at CoDingwood. near Melbourne,
and there formed An improper intimacy
with Mrs. Broadhead, who either accom-
panied HIM to Adelaide, or " followed in
the flight" taking with her nearly all her
husbands worldly goods.
They had endeavored to put the injured
husband on false scent, and so send
him on a wild-goose chase to Sydney;
but he by chance got on the true trail,
arrived at Adelaide, met Todd among the
spectators where the mounted police were
exercising, followed him unrecognised to
house in Rosina street, and then, with
the assistance Of the detectives, succeeded
in obtaining all the property of which the
worthless pair had plundered him. Mr..
Broadhead, in reply to his Worship, said
he had no dispositions to show that the
watch found on his wife was stolen from
the owner and Mrs. Broadhead protes-
ted that it was given to her. and that she
came alone to Adelaide, and brought all
the other things with her.
Under the circumstances. his Worship
thought there was no chance to convict
Todd, very little use inproceeding against
the woman for the watch, and advised
MIR. Broadhead, as he had recovered his
property, to let the precious pair follow
the bent Of their virtuous inclinations.
The husband consented; and then the
lady exhibited striking sample Of Pan.
demonian modesty. She stepped up 20
his Worship, and urged with the greatest
effrontery her right to her own property.
A watch she should have for she got it
from a young man, and ring conld not
be kept, for young man made her a
present of it, but desired her not TO let
husband know anything about it. His
Worship merely ordered the police to
give up her wedding ring; but she no
sooner got outside Of the court than she
threw it away-fiung it to the winds, as
she had already dissipated the vows of
which it was the mute memorial.-Ade-
