with clubs and stones. In one instance the
men had driven two large rats into an empty
building on Commercial street, where there
was no mode Of cgrcss, except through III,
door. This the two men fastened, and form
ng circle, drove the animals into Il corner
and prepared 20 despatch them. The n.S
rendered desperate, 'prang at the throat OF
the nearest llishman, and ono succeeded in
fastening his long sharp teeth in the mans
handkerchief. which he wore around his
neck, and held his Jaws firmly c!aSppd until
Individuality the handkerchief was hicl:
so that the animals teeth did not touch the
mans threat. The rats companion s,,ran2
at his intended victim, missed him, and was
knocked over by a club. They were cnor.

SroEM.-Thc storm Of last Sunday night
which was very disastrous in many parts of
the country, was quite severe here. The
worst damage it did in this county was to
the fencing good deal of which is blown
down. 1t was accompanied here by heavy
thunder and lightning, which is an unusual
occurrence at this time of year.
The storm appears TO have extended a great
distance. We have accounts Of its dcstmlc-
tive effects in New York, Baltimore, and ST..
Louis. In Philadelphia, it ragged with great
violence, and was accompanied with torrents
of rain. Schooners and sloops were sunk in
the Delaware in front of the city, portion of
the roof over Market street bridge was blown
off a portion of the Darby Plank Road, in
West Philadelphia, was upturned, and con-
siderable damage done to houses, trees, awn-
ings &c. In baltimore, ten schooncrs were
sunk in the basin, and it is feared the ship

AMERICAN ORGAN.


The following beautiful lines, by the author Of
the " Pleasures of Hope" were taken from an old
British Review, published twenty-five or thirty
years ago. and are not to be found in any edition
Of his works: -
Beats there heart that does not bound
With trembling thrill, at the holy sound
OF name beloved-which does not swell
As il drinks a note which II loves 90 well.
Though years may have pass'd since we last
have heard,
From stranger lips, that well known word;
Yet pronounced by chance, 1t awakens the ear,
And the soul delightedy turns to hear
That name is pronounced In a softer tone,
And possesses music not its own:
Aud the letters which speak that name to the
eye,
Seem 10 combine more gracefully.
When we utter their names the absent are near
And the beloved themselves become moro dear !;
And the ear at that heartd yelling sound, viii be,
In more instant and vivid memory.
Oh! name beloved becomes part
Of the dearest feelings Of every heart,
And until the heart itself shall decay,
Those feelings win never pass away.

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser has the fol-
lowing remarks relative TO politics and political
prospects in New York;
The indications are that the Know-N othings will
sweep this State like tornado. The Seward party
were really beaten last fall II the popular Judg-
mcnt rendered at the polls, had controlled the ac-
ton of the Legislature, Mr.. Seward would not have
been reelected. The people chose representatives
and If left TO their own unbiased action, they would
have carried out the popular wish. 1t required
appliance of every description, corrupt bargains
menaces, promises Of all kinds, to thwart the ex-
pectation Of the people, and effect different re-
suit But q triumph 80 achieved cannot enure to
the ultimate advantage of the apparent victors.
Already we see the consequences of the high
handed proceedings Of the fusonists, in the town
elections.
The Seward men are everywhere overthrow.
II 10 only in cases where they have coalesced with
Democrats of every stripe, that they have been
able to oppose any serious resistance to the Know
Nothings The progress Of the order, notwith-
standing the drawbacks Of Sewardsm and his spu-
rious affiliations with this new party, Is most extra
ordinary and remarkable. In October last the
Total number Of enrolled members in good standing
was sixty-six thousand. In November, with the
aid Of the democratic hard shells, they poIled for
Ullman for governor one hundred and twenty-three
thousand votes. Now according to our returns
from the Syracuse State Council, the g tested"
members Of the nine hundred and ten councils
represented, amount to one hundred and forty-two
thousand At anything like this ratio Of increase
they will be able to command by November next,
an overwhelming majority over all the outside
parties and factions, Wing and Democratic, free
soil and agrarian combined.
