The Tornado.

The terrible hurricane Of Saturday
the 14th inst, which we mentioned in
our last weeks paper, as having caused
so great destruction at Alliance, and
eastward through Columbiana county,
continued It's a ages as far east as Phil.
adelphia. The tornado commenced al
Alliance, at FIVE o'clock P. NJ. reached
Pittsburgh at 6 o'clock, and Philadel-
phia at 10 o'clock. 1t hui travelled al
the rate Of about 20 miles per hour in a
straight line. West of Alliance the gale
was severe, but We have learned of nc
great damage done 10 buildings. Be.
tween Millersburg and Akron on the
Cleveland and GAINESVILLE Rail Road. 8
tree fell across q train disconnccting the
cars, and at the same time trees fell al
either end, fairly hemming it in. Al
Damascus one man was killed, and
some twenty II thirty trees blown on
the track between Alliance and Salem.
The Mahoning Register says:
At Enon it blew down three houses, a
blacksmith shop and a barn. The stage
team between Erou and New Castle, had
one horse killed and smother badly in
jured, while seeking shelter under cover
of barn, from which the roof was blown;
the passengers had a narrow escape with
their lives, being nearly all more or less
injured.
At Butler, Pa q number Of houses
and barns were blown down ard unroof
ed. A small boy Wa also missing, and
the suppoSition was hat he had been
blown into the river and was drowned.
At Harmony, several brick houses were
blown down, a church unroofed, and
much other damage done. We farther
learn that on Sunday morning the Post.
master was out bright and early with p
Pitchiork, raking among the ruins to find
The post Office.
The tower OF the old church, built by
the Economics, withstood the storm,
while every other one was blown down.
At Beaver, The roofs Of the bridge, ard
the Methodist Seminary were blown off.
At B~ridgewater the gable end Of the
Methodist Church was blown down.
At kittanning, the fine new bridge
across the Allegheny river, was lifted by
the wind bodily, as if it had been a straw,
and thrown into the river.
The steeples of the Episcopal and Cath
ole Churches were blown off; several
houses were unroofed: one new unfn-
ished frame house and several stables
we're Frustrated. The gale extended
eastward as far as the seashore. AT
Philadelphia, the papers report the I'M
roofing of about $50 houses in different
sections of the city, and the destruction
of property generally.

Post Masters and the County Press


The Trumbpll Democrat of last week
gives the Democratic Post Masters, a
hard rap over the knuckles, and they
deserve it. They seem TO think they
have al especial calling to labor and
strive to bene6, eastern publishers

Who darkens the door of their offices, to

fault with any man for taking any paper,
aud as many as lie chooses. The more

shat in hundreds Of instances, citizens of
this county take no county paper at all,

Stephen Arnold Douglas.

VS. are indebted to this notorious Sen.
atOr for trU copies of lis late speech Oh
the Kansas question. The one copy,
doubtless, he intends US TO read and no
iice, the other, to file away with kindred
documents, id ess-speeches Of Aaron
Burr, decisions of the atrocious judges,
and letters of Benedict Arnold. Both OF
these wishes we will humor and grant.
At the close Of his arrogant ~harrangue
he makes an apology to the Senate, for
the lcoseness with which he had treated
those important matters appertaining to
freedom in Kansas, and the excuse he
offered was, that, he was sick. The X
cuse was entirely superfluous, as his snap
ping. snarling and railing, makes it
clearly evident, that he was infected
with some disease that destroys the
senses, like the mania potH. or hydro
phobia. This is the CO .temptible indi
yidual who arose in the Senate and bel
lowed out TO the intelligent freemen of
the North, 81 mean to subdue you p
1t is another proof Of his lunacy. when
he thinks to bully and brow beat the cit.
liens of the North into the support Of his
and schemes. Those Senators
who remained in the Senate chamber
and listened to this Illinois doughface,
looked upon him with pity and COM
~miseratiOn, as they would have regarded
the insolence Of any other ~lunatic.
John Bloat Weller and another CO equal
bowling and whining, were the only
Senators who cheered this ~groveling
sycophant in his distracted raving.-
Stephen says, that this government has
shown itself equal to all emergencies
''srcept ia the pOarer to hang a traitor."-
That is the truth, although it was both
liteled and fully demonstrated by Ste
ohen himself. Were it not for this Ma
.ional ~ueakness mentioned by Douglas,
his throttle would have experienced,
long ere this, the efficacy of the hang
mans rope. 1t would be much more
consistent in Mr.. Douglas, TO follow the
example of his predecessor, Aaron Burr,
and seek obscurity by sneaking as slyiy
as possible out of the country, which he
has so basely betrayed, instead of thirst
ing after more contemplate notoricty
and sending his fawning speeches broad
cast over the land.

EOr
A Night Police.

Having understood that the policy Of
establishing a Night Police was being
discussed among the business circles Of
this town, 1 have thought proper to drop
a few suggestions relative to it, through
the columns of your paper.
That a limited number of efficient
night police would prove a blessing to
the quiet and safety of our town, there
is no doubt. 1t would have a tendency at
least to curtail The thousand and one
pranks which now constitutes the merry
night sports of the ''B-hoys," to say
nothing of the riOling, gambling and
burning of buildings now too freely in
dulged in, either for the quiet OF the
town, or for the safety of its inhabitants.
Yet one thing operates against us in
the obtaining Of a good efficient night
police. The popular sentiment of the
citizens is no guarantee for its permanent
cy.
Our business men have most Of them
grown up with the town, but with its
growth have not grown into a full con-
seriousness of its needs. The rules and
municipal regulations of Warren, as it
was, remain in their minds a permanent
fixture. Hence the practical workings
of a regular night police, The benefits of
which are so fully realized by those ac-
customed to them, are 10 them some
thing new, and they are willing to stand
its expense, and novelty, just SO long as
the impression Of some outbreak is fresh
in their minds, and no longer.
Things done under exciting circum-
stances are generally over.dOne. When
a store has been forcibly entered, or val
liable property burned, ten or n dozen
watchmen are instantly employed; but
when their minds become quiet again,
the police ale kicked ont as useless APP
pendages, and things relapse into the
same condition as before.
Whereas, had they gone about the
matter coolly, half the number of first
rate men would have accomplished just
as much, and guarded the town the
whole year, for the same money. This
fckleness of the p pulace renders u
police arrangement not only feeble
in its operations, but more and more I'M
popular with each experiment. Persons
who are suitable fol such spos', are men
OF character. and rot a, a ,o.s for per-

rp-at the head Of their columns, the
anne Of their f~aForiie candidates, for

idea that they are about to peruse the
usual stereotyped story of some love-

tomary estrangement from the man she
loved, the reconciliation, betrotha', wed

aim and scope are higher and nobler.-
The character of Christine is well drawn,

herself called, is perfectly characteristic

as she loves the hero of her romantic
dream. The cold, calculating, worldly

Frank Wade On the Doughfaces.

Town or city. Such are not willing to
enlist in a service where there is SO little
hopes of permanency. Hence our night

desire for public good, begins and ends

wink at a breach of order for a dram.
In the first place, we want men whose
position as temperance men will neither
allow them to trife or countenance it in
others. Whisky is tie Judas TO be feared.
In the second place, We want men who
are not on a par. SO far as intimacy is
concerned, with the town ''rats;," too
many things are apt to be passed by

The third place we want men who
possess integrity Of character, and pluck
