A Fine sugar Estate for Sale.

BY observing our columns, the adver-
tisement will be seen Of the sale of property be-
longing to the heirs of the late HoNoRE DArGRE
and his wife ADELAIDE HILBERT. This plaRta-
ton lies about six miles below Plaquemine, inn
mediateiy on the river, and offers rare advantages
to those wishing to purchase. The land is inferior
TO none in the parish, or in this section Of coun-
try, for the culture of sugar. 1t has always pro-
duced good crops, and sugar is now being made
the present unpropitious year. All the land is
deeply ploughed and we'll MANFRED, and there are
now on the place ninety-fve arpents of good
ratoon, and forty arpents of cane mattlaid.
Those persons, then, who are looking out to
purchase a fine sugar estate connected with an
admlra be location, should not fail to be present
at the sale of the above succession on the 22d of
this month, (December) the details of which
will be found in the advertisement alluded to.
There is sufficient Of the best quality Of plant
cane %mattlaid, for planting next year; and since
the above was in type, we learn that sixty-two
hogsheads of prime to choice sugar have been
made on this plantation. y

tremely grave one, and the probabilities are

The Female Seminar.

We are happy to learn that this institution
is in a most prosperous condition. This may
be attributed mainly TO the manner in which it
has been conducted since it has been under
the management of Rev. Mr. LARKIN and his
accomplished lady. For the last eight or ten
years, with the exception of the last twelve
months, those who have successfully had charge
of this institution, have managed by some
means and in n short time to make enemies for
it instead Of friends, which system or misfor-
tune has ever had a corroding influence upon
its prospects and its usefulness. But since il
has been under the control Of Mr.. LARKIN we
have heard no censure or complaint, but on
the contrary, the most fattering testimonials
in favor Of the able and judicious manner in
which this gentleman and his lady have con-
Quoted the Seminary, and the satisfaction they
have given 10 parents. We hope our citizens
will not overlook the advantages which this
institution offers, of educating their daughters
at home-thereby enjoying the pndearments
of their society at the most interesting period
of their lives, and at a time when parental So
Iicitude for their welfare should be most deep
y interested, and when a parents teachings
should be constantly heard.

The blind lecturer.

We attended the Lecture of Mr.. GOLDEN (who
is blind last Monday night at the house
on the subject Of Phrenology. He gave evidence
of having been a hard student, and that he tho
roughly understood his subject. During his visit
here Mr., G. has waited on a number of our fami-
lies, and given high satisfaction in the practice Of
his art. He is an amiable and evidently an esti-
mable and worthy man, and we commend him

A Storm.

Our town was visited by an unusually severe
storm on Saturday night last. The rain poured
down in torrents, and the wind at times came in
fearful gusts, shaking the strongest buildings, and
creating serious a~pprehensions. Several slight
injuries resulted. Part of the gable end of a new
brick warehouse belonging to RorH g. DEBLrEUx
was blown down, but we heard Of nothing more
seriOus-save that the 'safe' of a poor man, con-
tanning all his crockery, was carried out of his
porch, and its contents smashed.

to the advertisement Of Messrs. HEE<cHE1 &

Destructive Tornaao Damage Done to
PrOperty. 0a. tH


severe tornado passed over Portsmouth and
Norfolk, Virginia, on Tuesday afternoon The
Portsmouth Transcript says:
Fortunately it did not pass through the princ-
pal part Of the town, but the force of il was only
felt over the northwestern portion of it. The new
depot and engine-house of the Seaboard and Roa-
noke Railroad, recently completed at a cost Of
some six thousand dollars, was entirely demolished,
and the large building on the opposite side of the
road in northeasterly direction, occupied by the
Union Car Works, had nearly one-half of its roof
carried away An old brick house between the
depot and car factory had one end entirely blown
out. Besides the above, several roofs were damaged
more or less, chimneys were blown down, fences
pr0strated, limbs Of trees broken and other damage
sustained.
The Depot building was constructed in the very
best manner, and was Of such great strength that
the wind could have had no effect upon it, had
not the large doors on the south side been open.
The wind came on very suddenly and with such
force rs to raise the roof from the walls breaking
it TO pieces and carrying portions Of it to con-
siderable distance, at the same time prostrating
large portion Of the walls. Several persons en-
ployed in the building were considerably injured,
but no lives lost. One young man, named Owens,
was quite seriously hurt, perhaps fatally.
We understand the tornado also injured several
small brick tenements in its course towards Nor
folk. 1t took the tin roofing off the house on
Main street, occupied by Mrs. Thornton as a
boarding house. 1t was carried on the other side
of the street, distance of 60 or 10 feet, where,
in falling, it slightly injured several houses.
