igan, was the most violent ever experienced in
that State. The damage 10 houses, barns, fen
ces and forests is very great. The heaviest loss
viii be The destruction Of the valuable pine and
other timber in its course. So great was tie
force Of the whirlwind that nothing could With
stand It. The giants Of the forest which have
withsood the storms Of hundred years, were
wrthched from their firm roots and tossed about
like straws. Even stumps firmly embedded in
IN mother earth, were tern up and carried many
rods. Old logs which had lain on the ground
for years, were disturbed and torn from their
resiing-pIaces. The air was Literally filled
with fence rails, limbs of trees, shingles, &c,

course Of the whirlWind vas in a nearly east
direction, ranging from twenty reds TO half
mile in width, and making clean sweep as it
went in some places even the culverts across
the roads were torn up by the tornado, and the
roads generally are filed up with a promiscu-
Gus assortment OF timber and rubbish of all
kinds. An eye witness says that the whlnwind
presented most singular appearance. He says
the wind would rise in an immense whiri, draw
ing up rails, limbs Of trees, boards leaves, dirt,
&C., TO great height, when suddenly it would
seem TO drop again To the earth and feed itself
with new supply of snch things as Were
movable and again rise, carrying up with it

The World would be the better for il.

IFmen cared less for wealth and fame,
And less for battIe-frlis and glory;

Seemed better than in song and story;
IL men, instead of nursing PRIDE.
Would learn TO hate il and abhor it;
Ii more relied
On love TO guide,
The world would be The better for it.
II men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And more ~ bonds and deeds frat4rnal
If loves work had more willing hands
To link this world to the supernal;
Ifmen stored up I.ove's oil and wine,
And on the bruised human hearts would pour it.

And fewer spoil il in rehearsal;

IF men were wise in little things-
Affecting less IN all their dpaljnss

To Isolate their kindly feelings
Ii men, when Wrong beats down the Right,
Would strike together and restore il;
II Right made Might
In every fight,
The world would be the better for it.

PIcToN At WATsRLoo.--Picton was
wounded the day before Waterloo, but had
concealed his hurt, and with the most heroic
forttude, remained in the field. Daring the
night, however. the agony of his wound
obliged him to send for surgeon, who re-
NAMED with him till day drawed; and on his
leaving, Picton thus addressed him:
"You say that my wound 10 dangerous,
mortal; that lam unf, for duty, and must
be represented SO to the duke!"
"Such is my opinion" said the surgeon.
81 think it will be impossible for you to take
command Of your DIVISION
"Lcuve me to Judge Of that sir" said Pic
ton, "and in the meanwhile allow me to
ask you question. From your long knowl-
edge Of me do you consider me capable Of
strictly keeping my word"
81 have cause to believe So" returned
the surgeon; "but why ask the question,
Sir Thomas!
"Simply for the reason" returned Picton.
"thst have made up my mind to be in the
field with my brigade; ana give my word
of honor, both as gentleman and soldier,
that ifyou place my mare in your report
as unfit for duty will shoot you with my
own hand"
The surgeon shrugged his shoulders.
shook Picton by the hand, and withdrew.
The gallan:;general's name was accordingly
obmitted amongst the wounded; and, as his
wish had often been expressed, that he
might die amid the blaze Of battle. he was
gratitied.

LIGNEoUs PAPER MILL We mentioned
a few weeks since that the foundation for
a new paper mill for the manufacture Of
paper from Eastwood. had been commenc ed
in Little Falls, by Mr. George w. Boards
lee, of A lbany. On visiting the premises
last week, on Mill street, we were surprised
on witnessing the progress already made
The building has, indeed, assumed "shape,
form and beauty" II will be the most sub
stantial aud durable building in our village.
The basement wall, on the river side, is
eight feet thck-somc Of the stone in it,,
obtained on the spot, will weigh from eight
to ten tons. The dimensions of the main
building are: 81 by 100, with wing on the
east side so feet wide and 80 feet long.
Mr. Beardslee is manufacturing his own
paper engines in this village. There will
be from fifteen to twenty of them for the
manufacture of pulp, capable of turning
out fifty tons per week. Mr. Beardslee will
not be confined to Eastwood. He has ex-
perimented with spruce, pine, hcmlock,
whtewood buckeye, &C., and is confident
he can produce good. fret quality Of paper
from each of them, and at lees price than
prin,er are now obliged to pay.
The mill will be in readiness for opera
ton about the first of October. when we
shall have more to say about it.-Linie Falls

AND MINERS CONvE NTION.
HAMILroN, Butte Co.. July %. ]

HAMILTON, Butte Co., July %, 1855.
AT meeting of the Settlers on the West
bank of Feather river, held at Hamilton,
Butte County, July 2sth, 1866, for the purpose
of appointing delegates to attend the Settlers
and Miners Convention, to be held at Sacra-
mento City, on the Sth day of August, 1855,
also to take preliminary steps as to the best
means to protect themselves in their just and
lawful rights as Settlers, and investigate the
| legality of the Spanish claim reputed to hold
to the lands now in possession of said occu.
pants.
Moore, was called to the Chair, and VIM Pole,
Esq, appointed Sec'y.
/ DR.. John Stockton, explained the object of
the meeting, when, on motion of S. Ever, ESQ.
that three delegates be appointed to attend
the Sacramento Convention, Alex Turner,
james L. Henshaw, and Ever. were appoint
ed said delegates,
On motion, it was resolved that committee
OF three be appointed to call meetings, and
take such necessary steps as they may deem
advisable to investigate said reputed title, and
that R. d. Moore, s. Ever, and Jas. L. Hen
shaw, be said committee
On motion, the following resolutions were
offered by s. Ever, Esq
Resolred, That, we the Settlers on this SUD-
posed Spanish grant,are as willing to recognize
the rights of property in others, as we are to
claim 1t for ourselves, that we care not to
whom we pay cur money for our lands. but
that we ask and expect the same equity from
the land owners that has Influenced the Gov
eminent in confirming their titles, for it is
conceded fact that no. one grantee out of
hundred, has any title at law
Resolved, That, we mutually pledge our
selves to protect and sustain each other in our
original boundaries, except such boundaries
shall be made to conform to the cardinal points
of the compass, where they did not originally
and that We will contribute money or any
other aid necessary, to carry out these reso-
buttons.
On motion, resolved that the Chairman and
Secretary, sign the minutes, and that the
Butte Record be requested to publish the
same.
On motion, the meeting adjouoned
