fellow townsman, Mr.. Enoch Hamilton, met
with a serious loss on Friday morning last, by
the burning Of the dwelling house, with portion
of his furniture, which could not be saved; the
fire being so far advanced when discovered, that
the occupants had barely time to save themselves
and the furniture in the lower rooms. It is SUP.

Son Tuesday evening about six O'Clock, the
towns Of Linden and Waterloo-the former in
Washtenaw, and the latter an adjoining town in
,Jackson-were visited by one of the most destruc-
tive tornados ever experienced in this section OF
country. 1t seemed to come from the west, and

has undoubtedly been rife with great destruction.
The house and barn of Hon. NJ. Gordon, on the
edge of jackson county, were completely levelled
with the ground, as were also those OF John X.
Youcum, of Linden, in this county, whose family
were severely injured, and many Of whose cattle
were killed. sat- t ttf

wind that on the farm of Patrick McCumes, it
took large oak stump up by the roots and car

an immense distance, and the water of small
Lake near Mr.. Youcum's was blown entirely out
of its bed. Fences and standing timber were
completely demolished. fear the effect in Sec

EXPENSES OF THE NATIONAL G6vERNMENT.
We presume there is not one person in ten who
has any idea of the vast amount of money appro-
priated by Congress for the support Of T:cTs.
tional Government What was deemed in the
days of our Republican Fathers, aspirit Of reck*
lcssness and extravagancc, is now consldcfcd
virtue. The rapid growth of our country, the in
creasing love of wealth on the part of the Amcri"
cans, the deterioration Of that high sense Of hon.
or which should characterize those who arc efe-
waited toposts of einincnce, have conspired to di'
rect the attention OF Office holders to but one OBJ
ject-thc National Treasury, and hence, at each
session of Congress, the members dive deeper and
deeper into the bag, and then withdraw from their
arduous duties Legislators, to the fctiremeht of
some snug plantation Or country residence, whose
magnfccnce may Le attribu.eis to their over
weening, Unsuitable appetite for wealthy and rs
attendant luxuries. How much further this spir<
it will carry members Of Congress-, it is imposs'
BILE to tell; but in our opinion, it has carried them
far enough already, and it is time the Press should
do its utmost to restrain this Wholesale peculatien
upon the public treasury, 's'.i i'.h . ~ ~ sh
