following account of 4 terrible storm in that
county on the evening of the 9TH inst
There has not yet been time to trace the desc

miles West of this place, it seems to have attain
ed its greatest power, and its destruction was
terrible Nine persons were killed almost i'll

the goods all blown oft except few heavy ar
ticlcs, and the timbers scattered great distance
OYER the prairie. The money chest, containing
some $500 or $500, was blown off and not found.
The heart rending scene which presented itself
at the ruined village, when orr informant reach
cd there the next morning, beggars description.
The damage i'll the neighborhood was quite con-

TnE cRANProN DurlcULTY.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Journal Of
Commerce, writing under date of esd instant
says:
Not a single member Of the Cabinet, I am Ger
tain, has declared it TO be tho present determi-
nation Of the Executive to dismiss Mr. Gramp-
ton. His dismissal was certainly resolved npon
asan alternative TO the refusal of his Government
10 recall him. The character of Lord Clarendon's
reply caused some hesitation, and, at all events,
has prevented his dismissal up to this day. 1t
cannot he positively aseertained that he will be
or VIII not be disnisscd-for the plain reason
that the Executive Government has not yet de-
ciicd whether to dismiss him or not. hope
this statement of the condition of the matter is
sufficiently plain to account for the remarkable
fact that opinions disagree and even huctuate,
in regard to the ultimate course of the Govern
ment in regard to Mr.. Champion. lt
