THE SToRM ON THE LAKE.--Cas.
ually we noticed the terrific storm on
the Lake, Saturday night. Our re.
port of it was uecessisarily brief, as il
came from gentleman who left whilst
the storm was still raging. The city
papers Of Wednesday give full partic-
ulars ID regard to the work Of destruc.
ton, and say that it was the most dis
asterous storm, since 1919.
At Pass Christian, Bay St. Louis,
Mississippi City and Biloxi, everything
accessible to injury by storm is gone,
with the exception Of two wharves at
Biloxi. At Point Clear, however,
there appears to have been little or
no damage done and at Ocean
Springs, Moptrose, Hollywood, &c.,
nothing beyond the washing away Of
wharf or two and some bath houses.
Of all the ordinary stopping places Of
the Mobile mail boats there IL no
chance left Of landing anything at
present, except at Pascagoula and Bill
oxi
The schooner juno, fully ladened,
was driven into the Piney Woods,
half a mile from water, ON the storm
abating.
At Biloxi, schooner said to have
on board $50 barrels Of flour, was
blown on the beach and was lying in
precsrions situation.
At Proctorville, The damage done,
is said to have been similar to that
above described as having occurred at
other points.
Several lives were lost, but as vet,
it has not been ascertained who
the parties were.

THE WEATHER.-The restless and
dissatisfied elements, are at work
moving down and gathering into the
garner, all che green things Of the past
season. The grass begins to fade
the leaves to writbe under tie noon
day sun, and the jim sing weeds droop
their heads with old age. The shift
ing elements, play all manner Of fan

wind, as it takes up, the ever living
germs and carries them off to hidden
recesses; that another, and a similar
crop shall come again. in due season.
Man, who Mncies that all this is done
for bis own benefit, lies down to die in
the midst of plenty; or is made to
totter on his legs, and fall off into OBJ
